Hello! I am Supriya and welcome to RedChillies; a food blog where I share recipes and snippets of my life. Amongst my many hobbies, I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes. So, the recipes I post here are tried and tested and ones which I have enjoyed with my friends and family.

I love creativity! Food, photography and writing considered essentials of blogging are all creative arts and this blog RedChillies is a manifestation of that expression.

I am a Konkani and  grew 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.

Currently I live in Texas, United States with my husband and our 14-year-old teen who is the light of our lives.  I am software professional and work full time for a dynamic, growth-oriented company.  I enjoy photography, jewelry making, reading, taking nature walks and of course blogging.

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.

So when I had to come up with a name for my blog, the name RedChillies stood out and stuck in my mind and voila the name of my blog.

  14. 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

  19. 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

  23. Supriya,

  25. 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!

    Jeanne

  26. 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.

  35. Hello Supriya,

    This will hopefully make you glad and proud. As soon as i started going through your small little beautiful recipes, my guess was, ‘this has to be a konkani girl’. And indeed !!

    I quickly went through the ‘About’ section and was very happy to see you mention ” I am a Konkani” 🙂 Brought a big smile on my face :).

    I was looking for a quick and easy tomato chutney recipe and it landed me here.

    All the Good luck to you. Keep Posting !

    Ah Yes, I am a Konkani too 🙂

    Vish

  37. Thanks for the encouraging words, and all the positive feedback Vish. Glad to know a fellow Amchi too.

    Pumpkin coconut curry
    Thank you! I cant wait to go get my groceries (today as soon as I hear back from you) and start sampling these dishes 🙂
