Winters have started in Bangalore. The early mornings and nights are much colder, that you crave for some comfort food - something hot, creamy and soothing to your shivering soul. :)

These days we have started making a lot of soups at home... I know my cream of pumpkin soup recipe is still pending to be uploaded. I assure that I will post it this week. Once you know the recipe, every other cream soup is same. But today's soup is different... it's a mild spiced coconut based soup. What can be more comforting than a cup of hot coconut milk with some spices?? This is very common Thai Soup Recipe and it's quite easy to do. I added my recent found new green vegetable - Bok Choy. But you can feel free to toss in any veggies you have in your refrigerator. 

We all love cheesy creamy pasta outside, but can we do something nice at home? I had tried many times to create a good pasta at home and a much healthier version. I think this time I almost got a good red pasta version and a very healthy option too. Normal pastas are made out of refined flour - no fibre at all. I searched for Wheat pastas in the super market and finally bolted down on the Durum wheat pastas from Disano. It says "from the golden fields of Italy and it just takes 8 minutes to prepare, with a low glycemic index, low cholestrol and high levels of fiber." I had to try this one.
Some people may call this recipe as Arabiata pasta, but I'm really not sure of it's name :)
