Long Beans Stir-fry (Achinga Payar Mezhukkupuratti)
A traditional vegetarian and vegan side-dish from Kerala – uses only turmeric, chilli powder and green chillies for spice. A simple dish that goes well with rice and is healthy and flavorful.
Vanilla Crumb Cake
This cake is an unusual cake and the crumbs have a nice crispness to them after baking and the cake is moist and soft due to the yogurt in it 🙂 The cane sugar that I used contributes to the lovely browning along the edges of the cake – I love the color contrast between the light crisp crumbs and the lovely brown cake!

This stir-fry is a traditional recipe that goes well with rice accompanied by dal curries, spiced buttermilk curries or even just plain ghee! I hope you will … [Read more…]
