One of my most requested recipes to date has got to be for Sri-Lankan eggplant curry. I have been avoiding writing up this recipe for a long time because I had simply stopped making it at home. Traditional eggplant curry requires that the eggplants be deep-fried before tossing with the spicy curry, however I do not deep-fry anything. Some of Read More …
Growing up, I always loved the leek curry that my mom made – I could of lived off just leek curry and rice if I had to. My Udayan turned out to favour leek and potato curry just as I had as a child and requests it once a week. Infact he asked me today morning if we had any Read More …
Recently my mom was gifted some garden-grown butternut squash. She passed them onto me and I gladly accepted.

This vegetarian curry is quite Read More …

Okra is quite the interesting vegetable – It is known for it’s sticky/slimy texture once cooked, which is what turns many children off from trying it. However, I absolutely love Sri-Lankan style okra curry made with deep-fried okras tossed in a tomato-based gravy. Once the okras are deep-fried, there is no slimy texture and it tastes absolutely divine. It is Read More …
Over the weekend, I made some Minestrone soup and it was so comforting! It was thick, hearty, full of flavour, and loaded with vegetables such as celery, carrots, mushrooms, onion, tomatoes, beans, and spinach. This is such a filling soup for vegans, vegetarians, and those simply looking to eat less meat. Served with a sprinkle of cheese and a slice Read More …
I am the mom that buys A LOT of granola bars (even though they aren’t cheap) because I am also the mom with very little time on her hands. However, when I do have time and am not swamped with a million things to do, I do enjoy making my own healthy snacks for the kids. One of our favourite Read More …
