I cook because I like to eat, feed my wife and friends. In normal life I am a photo editor and photographer living in Washington DC. I have no formal culinary training, but I guess food does run deep in my soul. Much of my extended family in Kerala, India have run food businesses and I learned to cook from them, and my mother.

INJI – That is the word for ginger in Malayalam, my mother tongue. Ginger is my favorite ingredient to cook with. The rhizome is one of the most versatile spice, and it can be used for flavoring savory dishes, as a condiment, in drinks, in deserts and even as the main ingredient.

This blog is a record of what I cook, and my experimentation with food. Though I still not comfortable with the terminology “fusion cuisine”, I am experimenting and learning how to make Indian dishes using traditional North American ingredients.
