I have been learning to sing carnatic music since I was a kid with varying levels of dedication over my school years. Motivated by a newfound appreciation for the art around 2018 as an undergrad student in Bangalore, I renewed classes and have been enjoying listening, singing and taking the opportunity to perform at local events and contests. Here are a few videos of me singing at some events over the past few years. Several of these would not have been possible without the collaboration and support of several talented friends. I will add more information about each video including the songs and artists soon. Read more

Eggplant Fry - South Indian Style

This is a simple recipe for a delicious South Indian style Eggplant (aka Brinjal, aka Katthirikkaai) fry. While it is a great side dish to pair with various South Indian dishes it also works a great way to incorporate eggplants in a meal as side with rice or bread. I have been told by friends who were not fans of eggplants that they enjoyed this dish because of all the other flavors and components that make up the dish. While there are several variations and recipes and videos for authentic versions of this dish, I have adapted this recipe to be simple and accessible to those with a kitchen not particularly equipped for South Indian cooking without compromising its key flavors!
