Low Carb Bombay ‘Potatoes’ (baby radish)

I recently found out that boiling baby radishes give them a texture that is similar to new potatoes, so I thought I’d take it a step further and make a low carb version of Bombay potatoes.

Bittergourd Chutney

It has been really challenging having to cook without onions or tomatoes. Mangy and I have been on a mission to use up all the food in our pantry and fridge before the year is out. So expect some strange recipes coming up. This chutney though, is incredible. I found the original recipe here.

Eggplant Tokku

We’re trying to clear out the fridge by the end of the week and I have a whole container of tokku paste to finish. So expect lots of recipes using it! Eggplant tokku is beautiful and is the vegetarian version of my grandma’s fish curry. I love this with dosas, but it goes well with roti or rice as well.

Low Carb ‘Upma’ (cauliflower)

No, you didn’t misread the title 🙂 This is my take on a low carb upma, and it was awesome! I can’t believe I didn’t try this sooner, but I’m so glad I finally gave it a shot. I think this might be a great way to get kids to eat cauliflower, I doubt they would know the difference!

Spinach and chicken curry

I absolutely love palak paneer, unfortunately we didn’t have any paneer in the house last night and I wasn’t in the mood to make some. So I thought I’d try palak chicken instead. It turned out really well and would definitely be a repeat dish in our house.

Bittergourd Chips

This is my favourite method to prepare bittergourd. It is a little time consuming, but give it a try. You won’t regret it!

Kavitha’s Capsicum Perattal

This is one of my favourite ways of eating capsicum. The recipe comes from a lady named Kavitha who used to work for my grandmother. Kavitha wasn’t the easiest person to get along with, but she really could cook!

Spicy Radish Fry

I haven’t posted anything in awhile because I haven’t cooked anything in weeks. I’ve been having exams (urgh)! While Mangy has been a good sport and has picked up kitchen duties, I think it’s getting a bit much for him to manage on his own. It’s come to a point where I don’t recognise my kitchen anymore!
