Most of the Recipes blogged in Monsoon Spice are the one’s which we cook regularly at home or whatever we fancy eating. If it is simple Rasam/Dal Rice one day then other day it is something I learned from my Amma, Relatives and Friends, Web, Cookbook or TV show. There is no particular rule I follow while posting these recipes. The recipes blogged are something which we ate, loved and want to replicate the same in future. Monsoon Spice is our treasure box of recipes which satisfies both our tummy and soul which I am sharing with you now.
I am more than happy to get your feedback and suggestion to make it more interactive and interesting place for you. There are few recipes which I am not too fond of or haven’t got the right ingredients or just forgot about it all together or just don’t have enough time to cook. So if you are looking for a particular Vegetarian Recipe in Monsoon Spice please mail me a request, or respond by commenting to this post. Please do look through the "Search" box and the Monsoon Spice's Recipe Index to see if the recipe is already blogged. I will try my best to find out the recipes and post the recipe along with photoes for you. Blogging is my hobby so please be warned that I may not be able to respond to your request right away.

I liked ur blog a lot and the thai recipes pics looked absolutely sumptuous ! one question ....which brand of coconut milk do u use ?
@meena,
thank you :) I use "tropical sun" or "blue dragon organic coconut milk" brand canned coconut milk.
Hi Sia
Nice blog!I am a great fan of Mangalore curries but I seem to have a bit of problem finding some ingredients like Kokum and Teppal.Any idea if I can find them in any of these East Ham stores? If not where else can I find these in London?
Jyothi
London
hi Jyothi,
i usually bring them from home as they r not easily available anywhere else. i haven't seen any grocery shop carrying either of them in London. but u can check them online and see if u can buy them from some online shops.
Hi Supriya!
I haven't been to your blog for ages! Wow very nice.
I wanted to see if you found a good Pumpkin Masala recipe. I love this curry at the restaurant but can't find anything similar. The one I had some coconut in it as well.
I think you may have just inspired to resuscitate my blog from the dead!
Will be surfing around your site!
:)
Praveena.

@SSS, is it Dabeli u r looking for?
Sia,
Can you please post a recipe by using ‘kala channa’ with lesser masalas for rotis and chappathis?
I am a learner in cooking and I have tried some of your recipes like paneer kofta, matar paneer etc. (got appreciation from my Hubby, Thanks to you.).
Sia,
thank you for all the help you give me with your wonderful recipes and pics. it is funny how the internet allows us to feel almost as if we know a complete stranger!! :-)
my sweetheart longs for a dish he recalls using kala channa that is a mix of sweet and sour. i made the kala channa recipe that depends upon the carmelization of the onions, but that is very sweet. do you know of one that is sweet AND sour?
again, thanks. all the best to you and yours.
Hi sia,
really nice pics ... why some of the pics are note opening.?? its coming exceeded bandwidth limit..
