Thanks to pinterest, I found many options, but I chose to make this. The recipe was quite simple; however I … Continue reading Grilled Eggplant Rolls

How I prepared a Paneer Wrap
I am very fond of wraps- Greek Pita wrap, Veggie Burrito, or a Frankie . Even a simple Chapati slathered with spoonfuls of Mixed Fruit Jam and rolled up, is a personal favorite. But what makes a wrap, or any entree for that matter, interesting to me is all the ingredients with different textures that it holds … Continue reading How I prepared a Paneer Wrap

When Prasad asked me to prepare it … Continue reading How I prepared Thai Red Curry for dinner

Vegetable Dosa

Veggie Tacos
I'm a big fan of Mexican food, especially a Veggie Fajita and exclusively Prasad-made. He carefully chops up the veggies asking me to please be seated while the Master is at work. He then fries them and transfers them to a bowl. Next, he cooks the Spanish rice. While that is boiling and simmering he … Continue reading Veggie Tacos
