I have love hate relationship with pizzas. There are days I absolutely crave for a cheesy pizza and there are days when I cant even stand the name of pizza. So these days, when we crave for pizza, I just make it home rather than ordering it and waiting for it to be delivered home. Sometime last year, there was a workshop on grilling and toasting in our office (now don’t ask me what that has to do with software engineering 😀 ) and a good chef taught us a few tricks to make a fail proof pizza at home....

Karuveppilai or Curry Leaves are an integral part of any South Indian kitchen. It is this humble leaf that gives the much praised flavor kick to any South Indian dish.

It has a wealth of nutrients and is very good for health too....

Starters/Appetizers need not necessarily be deep fried and loaded with calories....
