Food from the heart and the hearth
About Mads’ Cookhouse
Hello there! I am Madhu, a young woman of seventy-two who loves to cook, feed, and eat. My family calls me Mads. I cook up a storm in my cookhouse and my home always smells delicious. Borrowed teeth (dentures), borrowed leg (titanium rod), and borrowed eyes do not hold me. I am notorious for increasing waistlines and decreasing will power.
If you love to cook or just starting out, follow me as I cook up and share some lip smacking recipes. Food should be simple and easy to cook. I share secrets from my kitchen (and those of my mother). So grab that pen and paper (share/bookmark button) and let’s get going.
Lip-smacking Recipes
Gobhi (Cauliflower) Manchurian
Looking for a vegetarian accompaniment to your fried rice? Gobhi (cauliflower) manchurian is quick and easy that is ready in minutes.
Bacon and Cheese Frittata
Bacon and eggs are the perfect breakfast combination. This frittata recipe is a family favorite. A perfect one-pot meal that works for brunch or dinner too.
Egg in a Hole
Plain old eggs and toast get boring after a while. Try out this popular recipe that is a hit with the kids.
Khaman Dhokla in a Microwave
I am going to bust two popular myths today. That microwave is only for reheating and that khaman dhokla is a complicated recipe.
Chicken Fried Rice
Fried rice is one of the easiest quick-fixes. My recipe does not require elaborate planning, just some leftover boiled rice.
Veggie Loaded Bruschetta
Bruschetta is one of the most versatile starters. The traditional Italian recipe includes tomatoes and basil. This is my take on the recipe ready in minutes.
Air Fried Chicken Drumsticks
Who doesn’t love a juicy piece of fried chicken? Now you can make your favorite fried chicken at home. Non-greasy and just as lip-smacking.

The last time we talked, I shared my plans about participating in the A to Z Challenge. It’s time to share the theme.
