A traditional dish from a not so traditional cook 🙂 Here is a rasam recipe that’s evolved overtime and today stands constant in the OTIC home. One of the uniqueness about this rasam recipe is the use of lemon instead of tamarind. Here goes the recipe
Palak paratha
This is one of the simplest and healthy parathas that comes handy with children who refuse to take greens in their meals. Palak or spinach has a bland taste and I have found children do not enjoy much of it yet this paratha along with a little curd goes straight into their tiny tummies quiet […]
Oats dessert
I am personally fond of the milky oats and enjoy it every now and then yet since the first year of our marriage, I learnt this was one of the very few things my husband wouldn’t enjoy. I tried to make oats dosa a few times yet that was a little tiresome and wouldn’t suit […]
