I have been on a recipe-trying spree lately, pulling stuff to cook off of the net.
Increasingly, I find myself drawn to cooking blogs rather than websites of famous cookbook authors. This is because what I am looking for is a variation to home-cooked food (slightly different spices, small change in steps to cook everyday vegetables) in order to widen our taste choices and alleviate boredom of eating the same vegetables week after week, and NOT fancy or elaborate recipes.
Thanks to Google and blogging (and the fact that EVERYONE's mom cooks differently ;-)), I'm in luck. Also, thanks to the fact that I am experimenting with Indian cooking -- it gets even better -- I so far have 4 different ways to cook carrots (and haven't even begun to explore recipes from the East!)
I've learnt to make sweet potato paranthas, moong dal paranthas, chana dal laddoos, carrot n coconut palya, ragi dosas, minty tomato rice and kerala sambhaar from bloggers :-).
One blog that I follow a lot is Archana Doshi's. Aside from the fact that she has a wide range of homey recipes, her measurements are close to perfect and her steps easy to follow. She also has small variations to traditional recipes which make a world of difference to the taste.
Looking forward to trying beetroot rice, vegetable biryani, urad dal paranthas and lots more in the days to come :-).

ReplyDeleteAh this is brilliant and perfect timing. Any more blogs that have non-veg food maybe and more western foods? I am going to be cooking 3 nights a week for the in-laws so would love to have simple, interesting recipies to try!
