Hello and welcome to RedChillies, a dashboard for sharing my recipes, cooking adventures and musings. I am Supriya, the cook, photographer, writer of this blog. I consider this blog a creative outlet, an opportunity for sharing the recipes that I have learnt. The recipes that you see here are all Vegetarian and the one’s that I have enjoyed cooking and sharing with my family. I am neither a professional cook/chef nor have I received any training to be one.
Food, photography and writing; skills considered essentials of blogging are all creative arts and this blog RedChillies is a manifestation of that expression. Food is a part and parcel of our everyday lives. I grew up being exposed to good food and great cooks. I also had/have a penchant for learning recipes. After I took up the mantle of cooking I discovered that I enjoy cooking, experimenting and also learning new dishes. So I used this platform of blogging for sharing the recipes and culinary ideas with people across the world.
I am a Konkani brought up in the wonderful city of Bangalore. I am a Vegetarian and I have influences of North Kanara, South Kanara, Maharashtrian and Karnataka cuisine in my cooking.
I live in the Texas, United States with my wonderful husband and a bubbly, mischievous 6 year old boy who is the light of our lives. I am an engineer and currrently work full time in the software field for a dynamic, growth oriented company. I enjoy writing, photography, listening to music, reading about History, Spirituality and Personal Finance.

Why the name “RedChillies” ….
In our family we love spicy food and chillies are a quintessential part of our cooking. Being a Konkani we use plenty of dried Red chillies along with coconut and tamarind in our everyday cooking. Hence the name RedChillies.

Hello Supriya,
Not very long ago, when I started blogging, I stumbled into your blog…cant remember how, but I sure am glad I did. Your site was one of the first I added to my blogrolls and everytime I am in search of an idea to cook, I turn to your pages. Every time I explore a little more and every time I am more impressed. So, this time I thought of dropping in a word of appreciation. I love your site…everythign about it, the design, the recipes, your about me page the most, the photostreaming. It does look like a lot of work and its all come out wonderfully. Love your photos as well…they sure do inspire me to cook. Keep up the good work…Cheers
Hi Meena, thanks so much for the warm comments. I am with you about kids and food as I am looking for some ideas for kids all the time.
Hi Parita, goodness, thank you for such warm and encouraging words. I sure will visit your blog. I am glad that this small space of mine has been worthwhile and this encourages me to do even better. Well you cannot imagine how much you made my day (or week for that matter). hugs!
Am glad that I could bring a smile to your face Supriya…but be assured that you deserved those words of praise. and just to mention what I forgot in my last comment…Thank goodness that you are veggie as well…it makes my life a lot more easier
Happy Diwali and very prosperous new year to you and your family Supriya.
Hello Supriya – I have been using few of your recipes and I must tell you, all your recipes are wonderfully written, easy to use and can be made at home in a jiffy. Being in Beijing, its difficult for us to get indian snacks and sweets, so I make most of the stuff at home. All recipes are yummy and you are very good with your clicks
Thanks to you
Awww… thank you so much Ramya, so glad and you made my day!
Hi Supriya

Hi Supriya,
I live in Fort Worth and found your blog while looking for a recipe for garlic sesame sticks. We are vegetarian/vegan family, and I would love to try some more of your recipes. Do you shop at specialty stores to find some of your ingredients? I have searched our local Central Market and haven’t been able to find some items. Would love any info you could post on sourcing ingredients!
Love your photography and recipes!

Hi Jeanne,
Thanks so much. I usually shop at Indian stores (in Irving area), to get the spices, lentils and speciality vegetables from there. For diary/vegetables/bread etc I do the grocery at Kroger/Target etc. I Am sure there are some indian stores in the FortWorth area and you might want to give it a try. Let me know if you need any specific information about the lentils, veggies etc.
