Papdi Chaat is part of the ‘chaat series’ for which we received a lot of requests…and rightly so. Chaat is generally sold by street vendors in India and is one of the most popular snacks.  Papdi Chaat is so easy to make and can be had as a snack, appetizer or a meal. I have to dedicate this recipe to Suraj-ji and all the Chaat-walas who have fed me awesome chaat for so many years and still remember my chaat-consuming capacity and me!

Pan-Seared Shrimp is such an easy dish to make and so appetizing. I love the rich color that the Turmeric and the Tandoori Masala bring to the shrimp. Pan-Seared Shrimp are great as snacks or appetizers…my kids love them as a after school snack. Shrimp, as we all know, are an excellent source of calcium and protein.

“There’s no need to fear.  Underdog (rated PG) is here!”  Disney’s latest canine caper, starring Jim Belushi, is here!  Based loosely on the Underdog cartoon show from a few decades back, this action-packed adventure aims to please…6-8 year olds, that is.  Having grown up watching the cartoon myself, I stepped into the theatre with feeling of nostalgia.  A little ways into the film, I felt a twinge of disappointment.  The thing I noticed and missed most was the “matter-of-fact” voice of the original Underdog.  Jason Lee, the voice of the the new Underdog, was definitely not the best choice for the role.  Even then, I somehow waited and waited, hoping Disney wouldn’t let me down.

Most Indian households have as many different types of pickles in the
house as they have relatives!!! Ours is no different - you can never
have enough. Maangai Thokku is one of my favorites because I can
control the oil and the spices and it tastes great with North or South
Indian cuisine.

Pura Vida! We heard and saw the phrase all throughout the trip to Costa Rica. Hmmm, what does it mean? So, here is Wikipedia’s explanation - “Pura Vida, literally translated means “Pure Life” but means contextually something approximate to “Purified life”, “This is living!”, “Going great”, or “Cool!” It can be used as a greeting, as a word of farewell, to express satisfaction, and in some instances to politely express indifference when describing something. The phrase has become widely known in the USA and Europe; this highly flexible statement is used by many Costa Ricans (and expatriates) since 1956.  Some foreigners view the phrase as an expression of a leisurely lifestyle, of disregard for time and wanton friendliness. However, Costa Ricans use the phrase to express something akin to a philosophy of strong community, perseverance, good spirits, and enjoying life slowly and celebrating good fortune of magnitudes small and large alike."....I like that!
