Peri’s Spice Ladle is my blog, started in 2012, with a simple idea - bringing Indian and Parsi flavors to your table. As I’ve showcased over the past decade, “It’s easy to spice up just about any meal with a few Indian touches”. Let’s continue…
“I never follow a recipe exactly–but I was inspired by yours and almost followed it exactly. I changed the yellow pepper to red, the Serrano to jalapeno, and I cheated and added a teaspoon of mayonnaise because my hubby is a mayonnaise addict (I made this for him for a “day before father’s day” brunch treat). He LOVED it (and he, a persnickety chef, is not easy to please!) Thanks for the inspiration. Grating the eggs made it exquisite. I may never eat egg salad with chopped eggs again.”
Thoran-Style Spicy Shredded Cabbage
This week’s recipe will feel like a ‘food hug’; a warm slaw made with shredded cabbage and grated coconut, cooked down in an oil tempering of whole spices and fresh aromatics, all brought together with a hint of nutmeg and drizzle of tangy lime juice.
Indian-style Quinoa Pulao
A delicious Indian-style creation using quinoa with caramelized onion, walnuts, and cranberries, infused with whole spices and topped with cilantro and lemon.

Aloo Mutter is a popular Indian restaurant favorite…a delicious preparation of peas (Muttar) and potatoes (Aloo), cooked together in Indian aromatics and spices.
