Tomato Chutney

The Tomato can offer enormous health benefits for you, especially “cooked” tomatoes. Tomatoes are in the fruit family and have tons of vitamins and minerals in them that your body needs. A single tomato can provide about 40% of daily vitamin C requirement. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant which acts against cancer-causing free radicals. It also contains abundant vitamin A and potassium as well as iron. Potassium plays a vital role in maintaining nerve health and iron is essential for maintaining normal blood health. Here is a Tomato Chutney, which can be used as an accompaniment for Chapatis/Rotis and also dosas/pancakes.

Tomato Phanna Upkari (All purpose Tomato curry)

This tomato curry called "Tomate Phanna Upkari" in konkani is one of the easiest curries to make.
I call it all purpose since it goes well with almost anything...Indian breads like Phulkas/Chapatis/Rotis, Dosa, Idli and Indian noodles like Shavige/Idiappam and even Rice.
A traditional konkani dish, but still not very popular among all konkanis.This is a traditional dish mostly cooked in my maternal family.

Cream of Broccoli Soup

Broccoli is known as miracle food.
It has most of the nutrients which are beneficial for our body.


I started eating Broccoli the day my lil one started recognising vegetables and wanted to eat a "green cauliflower".
Thats how our interest and fascination for broccoli began.
Broccoli also has another interesting interpretation from one of my close friends kid, she likes broccoli cause she thinks she is eating "Small Trees"


In the past, I have always tasted broccoli soup in different restaurants, but somehow my daughter never managed to like it until the day I made my own style of soup
