 I am offering this special post as an introduction to the fine art of Indian cookery. Each month on my recipe blog, I will feature a listing of recipes I have favorited on cookery blogs that I follow. I will attempt to also provide introductions to these recipes to Americans, like myself and newbies to Indain cooking as tutorials of sorts. Thank you food bloggers for sharing your creativity and epicurian tastes with us!

Following Vidhya's recipe blog for almost a year has bought some unique culinary delights into our kitchen. I love to read about the Tamil cooking, cultural aspects and health tips as presented in her blog. Of course, to top that, I just love to eat Tamil vegetarian cuisine and reading the blog tempts me to create her recipes on my own! Click in to read more about Vidhya and her Indian Tamil Vegetarian Cooking blog!
Thank you, Vidhya.

There is absolutely nothing more tempting than the coolness of yogurt and buttermilk in the heat of South India. I knew about raita, pachadi and lassi, but not sambaram. What was this sambaram I was hearing of?

I will use the second Friday of the month as appropriate (maybe not all months) to reflect on past posts based on feedback from browsers or my own experimentation with the information I have shared. This month, I will reflect on the posting “What is a Locavore?” from May 7, 2007.
It’s been just over two months since I posted this article. Though it’s been a short time, I am affected by the food I eat daily, and due to this, I have continued to contemplate the ideas I posed in the article.

I love to visit small tea or coffee stalls. The price is nice (maybe Rs. 5 for a much smaller portion) and the feeling of these small places is unique as compared to hotels and fancy coffee shops like Barista. Sure, you may, as a tourist (or even as a person who lives in India), but weary of the hygiene. But, the good news is coffee and tea is made from boiling water, so the water is fine.

In Kochi’s Bay Pride Mall, we found Barista- the Indian answer to Starbucks. The menu, however, is a bit more expansive than Starbucks! Yes, there are coffees, but there are also plenty of non-coffee based drinks!

Is it exotic to understand the nature and composition of what you eat and how it nurtures your body? Oh, yes, very exotic. In fact, how many of us really know what we eat? With all the processed and prepackaged foods out there, do we really understand the impact of all this on our bodies, our health, our moods and emotions?
