Upma is a traditional South Indian breafast item made with sooji(cream of wheat).
Oats is so nutritious. I often make Oatmeal for my toddler. After seeing Oats Upma in so many food blogs, I decided to make Oats Upma yesterday.

Oats Upma was so delicious. Both me and my todder enjoyed eating it . I ate it with soy yogurt and ginger pickel.

Simple Indian Lentil Soup
Yesterday I cooked tuvar dal with fenugreek leaves(methi), chopped onions and tomato. Well, I followed Indira's recipe for Menthi Kura Pappu.
The dish was pretty simple to make, but tasted great. Until now, I rarely used fenugreek leaves for cooking. My toddler son also enjoyed this dish with rice.

Krishna Catering & Restaurant
If you are in Detroit and love Indian food, you should go to Krishna Catering & Restaurant . I simply adore the food at this simple restaurant.
Dishes and chaats(Indian street food) from various cuisines across India are available in this restaurant .Chole bhathure (deep fried bread with saucy garbanzo beans) , idli-sambar(steamed rice cakes with thick lentil soup), dosa(thin rice and lentil crepes), and pav bhaji(bread with saucy vegetables) are some of my favorite dishes from this restaurant.
The food is rich in flavor. They use less oil . And for rotis(Indian bread), they ask if you want the bread to be drizzled with -oil or butter. I feel as if I'm eating homemade food while I'm enjoying food in this lovely restaurant.
They also sell variety of snacks such as shakarpara(deep fried cookies), samosas, and chaklis(deep-fried snack). Other than sweets and some dishes(palak paneer and matar paneer), everything in this restaurant is vegan.
Recently this restaurant was recently voted the best vegetarian restaurant in Metro Detroit by Channal 4, WDIV. Visit Krishna Catering & RestaurantIf you visit,

Vegan Yogurt
I used to love yogurt during my pre-vegan days. I loved eating yogurt mixed with rice and pickles. In restaurants I always relished eating dahi vadas(deep-fried lentil dumplings).
Once I became vegan, I was not happy with the soy yogurt. All the soy yogurts which I tried were very sweet. I never cooked any Indian recipes which had yogurt in it because, of the sweet taste in yogurt.In short, I longed for soy yogurt which was a bit sour in taste, almost like the yogurt we get in India.
Recently I tried Wildwood Probiotic Soyogurt Unsweetned Plain. The yogurt was perfect! I love to eat it with rice and pickles. I have used this wonderful yogurt in making tasty mangalorean dishes -menthi tambli and spinach tambli. I'm so happy to find this great tasting soy yogurt.
Unfortunately this delicious yogurt is available only in selected stores across the country .I bought this soy yogurt in Whole Foods.

Vegans in Mumbai
In India it's very easy to be a vegatarian, but it's challenging to be a vegan.
For many peaople in India, the word vegetarian is synonymous with the word "vegan".
Milk and milk products such as ghee and yogurt are considered to be very nutritious. In short milk and milk products play an important role in Indian cuisine.
During my recent visit to India, I did not meet a single vegan. I recently came across a blog - Mumbai Vegans. It's so nice to see that the vegan lifestyle is spreading across India.
