Kirk Bonds says
Why do you not provide a PRINT RECIPE option? Your website is great! I have been cooking Indian recipes since I lived in London in the early 70’s and I find your website enjoyable, entertaining and very informative. Thank you for sharing!!!
swasthi says
Hi Kirk

Nagaraju says
Please keep the title as it is.
Easily searchable.
Well known ,widely known.. word.
swasthi says
Thank you
A Ing says
Thank you for sharing such a wide variety of recipes.
I have one critical feedback though.
Calling it “Indian Recipes for Bachelors” is sexist. It makes the assumption that cooking is the wife’s job.
Times are changing. Perhaps it is good to change the title of this article to “Indian Recipes for Beginners”..
swasthi says
Welcome. Yes I will change the title. Thanks for the mention i too had this in mind.
Tanu says
I actually find the title useful. Clicked on it solely because I was looking for easy recipes. You can change it to bachelors and bachelorettes. We need this, too, you know. 😉
swasthi says
Thanks Tanu,
Actually the word “bachelor” was suggested to me by many readers as it becomes easy for them to remember. Hence the name. Thanks for your time to comment here
alisha says
Infact i think its not sexist its for bachelors means bachelors can make it themselves and need no women to cook it for them.
Mila says
I’m excited to try your recipes.
swasthi says
Thanks Mila.
Capt SS Bhatnagar(Retd) says
You have put many easy to make & also tasty recipes but these cannot be copied. Obviously, you cannot stand cooking in front of the computer and everybody does not a laptop, I suggest you provide a Print option so that one can take recipe on a paper and make the dish. If it exists please do let me know the option,
swasthi says
Hi Sir,
Thanks for the comment. Yes there is no print option on the blog currently. We will try to add it. Thanks for the suggestion

KARTHIK says
hi swasthi,
i am a engeneering student , i am staying in hostle , i am fed up because i am fat , can u please suggest me what break fast and lunch to have to maintain my diet
thank you.
swasthi says
Hi Karthik,
Folks of your age should not diet a lot, intially try with exercises and jogging regularly for 45 mins preferably in the morning. If not possible then in the evening, not in the night.
Here are the reasons for weight gain at your age:
1. Eating lot of starchy foods like rice, potato, white bread, naan etc and no exercises.
2. Not sleeping enough and eating late in the night.
3. Stress – any kind of stress causes hormonal imbalance and increases the weight
4. Eating foods made of refined flour or sugar like sweets etc.
Try with exercise as i mentioned above and follow the tips below
Limit deep fried foods and sugar foods to twice a week. Eat roti if possible for lunch and dinner. Limit sambar to once a day. Eat lot of vegetables and fruits. If possible do a fruit fast. once a week – Eat nothing from morning till dinner time except fruits. Dinner eat something light.
When you go home for holidays, then do a detox. You can check this detox soup recipe on the blog which helps to reduce the weight. 100% sucess rate but I suggest you do it in holidays when u have no studies.
Hope these help. Good luck

neha kumar says
Hi Swathi,
I have a 14 month old. He is a very active baby, however he has always been very thin (birth wt : 2.8 Kg, Now about 8Kg). He is a very frugal eater and is not interested in food atall, as per doctor’s suggestion we are trying to keep a 4hr difference b/w his meals and concentrating on solids. thus his milk intake takes a beating. Also now he is at dayschool so i have to prepare meals in the morning and pack along,
His food chart is as under:
6:45 : Gets up
7:30 : Milk Shake(banana/chikoo and formula)/Kheer(suji/oats) (we keep it milk based)
10:00 : Porridge (oats/suji./rice + Carrot + one more Vegetable + almond and cashew nut powder + formula)
01: 30 : khichri (moong/green moong/arahar + oats/suji+ 3 vegetables grated)
5:00 : Milk (50-60Ml)/Kheer/aata Halwas
7:30 : Milk (if he asks for it as at that time we are travelling)
8:30-9:00 : gravy and rice (if he is still active) else milk (100 ml)
9:30 Bedtime
we used to give him milk at 6:30 AM, but then he did not eat his breakfast so we had to stop.
can you please suggest some improvement in the diet chart.
Also can you suggest how can i add milk and fruit to his diet (i see that you don’t recommend mixing fruit and milk, but as the baby is not with me most of the day, I don’t have a very wide window to give him fresh fruits.. fresh food for that matter..
swasthi says
Hi Neha
I would suggest 6.45 am and 7.30 pm for fresh fruits. This should increase his appetite and he may consume more food.
It is true that mixing fruits and milk or milk with any other foods is not good for the body. The entire system turns sluggish especially in kids. Try not to give him milk with fruits and dal at least. For more intake of dairy, you can try giving him paneer every night. This should work. Hope this helps. For further queries pls leave ur comment on any baby food post.
