Dosa: East Meets West

After being spoiled with perfect dosa’s at our friend’s place for a week, we decided to buy a ready-made packet and try it ourselves. Well, we failed quite miserably, and didn’t have the appliances or ingredients to make chutney, only had a package of chutney powder, so instead of eating it as a dosa I [...]

How I Came to Own Tooth Powder and Why MIM Wishes I Never Did

Yesterday I bought tooth powder. MIM couldn’t believe I would do such a thing. Really, I got a lecture from the moment I picked up the product to all the way out the door and back into the car. “Why are you going back in time?” MIM grumbled. “In India we would use tooth powder [...]

Food, Inc.

No, don’t adjust your computer screens…this is still a blog about Indian Love. I just finished watching the very well done documentary Food, Inc. and I couldn’t not spread the word about it.

Indo-Pak Groceries

We have ONE grocery store in the area that sells Indian goodies. It’s always a trip to go there (trip in the funny sense and trip in the sense that it is a bit of a drive too!) because there’s always a laugh to be had afterwards. The store is not owned by Indians, but [...]

Indian Snack

Have you ever eaten these scrumptious potato chips? Well I suggest if you do, that you do not eat them in the dark, on the couch, while watching a movie. We awoke to find these little buggers everywhere! And crushed little potato sticks do not come up off the carpet very easily. If you’re wondering [...]
