Food Bytes

How can you resist a singing chef called Raaga? Based in Gurgaon, she calls herself “a singer and cook trapped in the body of an HR professional.” Her blog, which just turned one year old, is an interesting resource for Indian food with a twist. (Since Raaga loves experimenting with recipes involve everything from how to make coriander buns gleefully bursting with vegetables fragrant with chillies and turmeric, to ginger pear muffins.)

Since this is a strictly vegetarian blog, it’s also a good source for recipes, whether you’re wondering how to make a no-dairy cake, or faced with an unvanquished mountain of soya in the kitchen. (Raaga suggests blending it into your poha for breakfast, or using chunks of it in a fusilli with stir fried vegetables.) Raaga’s also an example of how food blogging connects people in the most surprising ways. In a post marking her blog’s first anniversary she says, “The last 366 days were eventful, to say the least. I shared, I explored, I laughed, I cried. And it wasn’t just about food. Food, at times, seems incidental. But I’m amazed at the friends I’ve made across the globe. People I have never met (except one), but people that I can call, email, chat with. And all the while get the feeling that these are people I have always known.”
