Monsoon has a charm of it’s own; the rains offer us hope for a good harvest, wash away the dirt with the promise of fruit for the rest of the year.
It also has a way with our taste buds. I grew up in a country with just one season: HOT and hence never really experienced the beauty of the earth in terms of way of living and food habits.
Living in Ahmedabad the past 12 years has taught me to embrace every season and it’s lessons. I discovered the deliciousness of the versatile sweet potato – a severely underrated vegetable, particularly during the rains! There’s a simple and basic pleasure in eating roasted sweet potato with salt, pepper and a heavy squeeze of lemon, in the car, while watching the rains wash away your worries.
In this recipe I use a yoghurt based marinade with lot’s of lovely Indian spices that can be served with green chutney, squeeze of lemon and sliced onions! Check out the video below:

This is a delicious stuffed eggplant recipe. This was inspired by the baby eggplants growing beautifully in my parent's garden. A gentle easy spice masala mix roasted and blended and then stuffed into the brinjals. cooked and then tossed in a yogurt-based curry - neither too spicy nor too tart - it's a great balance. have it with Makai Roti, Bajra Roti or rice!  This is a south Indian-inspired masala mix, perhaps a bit of Hyderabad is here too, along with Andhra. I’m not sure, but I mixed and matched a couple of youtube recipes and here we go. (this has been made once a week since!)

Old Recipe Salad,Old Recipe Savoury,Salads,Savoury To eat figs off the tree in the very early morning, when they have been barely touched by the sun, is one of the exquisite pleasures of the Mediterranean. Elizabeth David It seems the year of 2017 is all about balance at Kitchen Therapy – lovely salads along with decadent desserts! We have a ton of exciting new things in the pipelines for the future; currently we have our hands in a few too many baskets so we are going to have to figure out a way to channelize our focus and prepare for the best. I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the new year already! Today’s recipe is a great way to use fresh figs and update it with a fancy flair, churning out a restaurant-like appetizer. It is embarrassingly easy to make, but incredibly sophisticated, impressing any food-snob. Figs, blue cheese and balsamic go together like bees and honey. The combination of texture and senses create fireworks in your mouth. The recipe is as simple as combining the marinade together, soaking the figs in, and then grilling them, and assembling on a plate with some lettuce, blue cheese and roasted pecans. Then reduce the remaining of the marinade into a thicker glaze and pour over the salad for dressing. I mean, if you’re going to be the host, might as well be hostess with the mostest! [yumprint-recipe id=’114′] The RecipeServes Serves: 2 | Prep Time: 35 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins Ingredients ¼ cup balsamic vinegar 1 tsp olive oil 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 tbsp honey 1 tsp salt 5 figs, quartered Lettuce Pecans Blue cheese, crumbled Instructions Stir the balsamic vinegar with the olive oil, sugar, honey and salt in a small casserole/dish. Place the figs in the marinade for at least 20-30 minutes. After the figs have been well soaked, heat a non-stick pan on high. Place the figs in the hot pan and let them grill on all sides (around 10 minutes). Hold back some of the marinade. Once the figs are done, remove from the pan and add the rest of the marinade into the pan, lower the heat, and stir continuously until the sauce thickens. To assemble, place the lettuce first, then the grilled figs, and sprinkle the blue cheese and pecans on top. Drizzle the thickened balsamic marinade over the lettuce leaves.
