My family loves pasta: spaghetti, macaroni and cheese, rigatoni, fettuccine, you name it. There’s something so satisfying about a big bowl of pasta smothered in sauce. But then the dishes! That big old pasta pot (probably the biggest pot you own, right?), a colander sitting in the sink, a frying pan that you used to sauté the meat and vegetables, maybe a saucepan for simmering the sauce, all stuff you usually can’t stick in the dishwasher....

Pakoda or pakora are deep-fried flour-based fritters with or without vegetables, and they are one of the famous Indian snacks. This patinam pakoda is also known as medhu (soft) pakoda or Madras pakora or Madras pakoda. Madras is the old name of Chennai. While there are so many reasons and theories behind the name Chennai, one notable view is that the name Chennai came from Chennaipattanam. That fits perfectly, and now you know why we call this pakoda as pattanam pakoda or pattinam pakoda....

Disclosure: This is not a paid partnership. I received this product for review from the WonderMill, but the opinions and thoughts expressed here are my own. Koozh or gruel is thick consistency porridge. Kambu Koozh is a very common breakfast in rural parts of Tamil Nadu especially during summer months. Bajra combined with buttermilk is an excellent coolant and keeps your body hydrated in hot summer months. The probiotics in the buttermilk clean the unhealthy bacteria, in turn, helping with our digestion....
How long it takes: 28 minutes Equipment you’ll need: air fryer Servings: 2 (but it’s easy to make more) When you slice into an air fried chicken breast, expect to see juicy meat with a perfectly done exterior. It’s almost surprising. There’s no breading or fancy tricks. I don’t know why I would be surprised because pretty much everything I’ve tried in my air fryer has been very, very good....

Half salad, half sheet pan dinner, 100% delicious. This is a twist on grilled romaine, which if you haven’t had it, is so good! It might sound strange if it’s new to you, but it gets charred and softened on the outside and it’s still super crisp on the inside. It’s so yummy and you can achieve the same textural contrast by roasting it in the oven. I make it into a wedge salad type situation which is an entire meal because a few other things are baked on the sheet pan along with the romaine....

I jinxed everything. Evidently, by mentioning the fact that I was excited for less traffic on my way to work this summer, I jinxed it. Instead of less traffic, I got way, way more. Monday was supposed to be the first easy-breezy traffic day, but instead…. there was a water main break on one of the main roads parallel to the route that I take. Detouring traffic has been pouring non-stop into the highway and clogging up the ramps, and it’s taken me well over a (quite miserable) hour to get to work every day so far....
