I am back after a long hiatus (the longest since I started blogging). A short trip to Coorg and then some unavoidable reasons kept me away from the blogoshpere. But now things are under control and I hope I am able to post regularly. Here’s a very simple and quick Cauliflower curry to make a spicy comeback on My Foodcourt! The addition of spices like cinnamon and pepper dominate the strong Cauliflower smell. This is one of my favourite ways to cook cauliflower hope you like it too. __________________________________________________________

Power Parathas- Veggie stuffed Spinach Parathas.
We had some guests last night for dinner; one of our family friend’s daughter is getting married. We celebrated her engagement earlier with Chaats.Now for the pre-wedding dinner (this is called ‘Kelvan’ in Marathi) I wanted to make something substantial yet different. Also there were two grandmothers coming, so I had to plan something accordingly. This was the time I felt the need for a ‘Menu Planner’ website! You feed what you need; Prewedding dinner+substantial+Something different+2 grandmothers and press Search! And then automatically you get the planned Menu: Veggie stuffed spinach parathas
Dear Anita
Dear Anita, You have no idea how your little provocationhas unsettled my taste buds for the past week. I have been craving each day for those hot, oily floating balloons from the day you posted themat the Mad Tea party! Clicking on any random blog on the Food Blog Desam made matters worse. I found myself drooling and ogling at all those sinful puris. I decided to end my suffering, got up early (inspite of this being a weekend). I did not want anything to come between me and my puris (read my little one). I got up with this…
Coriander Soup
From incessant torrential downpour the Monsoon has shifted gear and we now have light showers. That must be sounding like a weather update to you J The wet rainy weather is just perfect for a hot piping Coriander soup, which we had for dinner last night. Photographing soups is quite challenging for me Jand you can see that the result doesn’t make justice to the Coriander soup…It is much more tempting and tastier than it looks in the photo!__________________________________________________________Coriander Soup recipe _____________________________________________________
Pav Bhaji
I am back after an extended weekend in ‘Amchi Mumbai’ (Our Mumbai) for my little niece’s first birthday. Mumbai- the city that never sleeps. Even at 12 in the night you feel as if it is Prime time! People getting back home from work (yes that’s true), some going for a stroll, partying crowd ,the roadside vendors selling all types of typical ‘Mumbaiya’ food. From Chinese Hakka noodles to Bhakri-Pithla/Zunka you get it all. Pav Bhaji is one of the most popular fast foods typical to Mumbai and you find ‘Pav Bhaji ki Gaadi’ (Hand cart) anywhere on the streets…
