This post on Harissa is inspired by so many of my fellow bloggers. Ever since Garima went on a culinary journey across the middle-east I have wanted to explore more of this region’s delicious cuisine apart from the Hummus, Falafel and Revani that I have tried. Do visit Garima’s lovely blog at http://www.cafegarima.com. Elaine posted a medley of…

Mango Kulfi: A Frozen Indian No Churn Mango Ice-Cream
Yes, yes, when madness afflicts one, it truly takes hold! As I mentioned in my last post about Malai Kulfi, I have finally succumbed to the Kulfi madness that afflicts all Indian food bloggers in summer. 🙂 What’s more is that I am also afflicted with the blogging madness. This means that I have to follow the…
Malai Kulfi
Malai Kulfi
I have finally succumbed to the Kulfi Madness that afflicts all Indian food bloggers in summer. 🙂 And I am so glad that I did!
Not only because this creamy, frozen dessert was a hit but also because it brought back some great childhood memories!
Jowar Dosa: Vegan, Gluten-free Sorghum Pancakes
This recipe for Jowar Dosa comes from Malar of Malar’s Kitchen. This is a blog I follow avidly for two reasons: the traditional recipes (my weakness) and healthy recipes (my aspiration). I have bookmarked so many of Malar’s recipes that it will take me a month’s vacation to try all of them. 🙂 Malar is one of the…
Varan – A Simple Dal from Maharashtra
Every state in India, absolutely each one of them, has some variation of a simple dal that is the favourite of its native children. Mudda Pappu or Gatti Pappu in Andhra, Parippu from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, the Bengali Masoor Dal, Dhaba Style Dal Tadka from the North….. The list is endless. And Dal-Rice is…
Peas Potato Kurma | Alu Mutter Korma
Peas Potato Kurma is such a favourite in parts of India that lie to the South of the Vindhyas. Also Known as Alu Mutter Korma, it is essentially peas and potato cooked in a mild gravy of coconut, poppy seeds, cashew, and fennel. What I like about this kurma is that it is rich is flavours…
Aloo Palak (Potato in Spinach Gravy)
Aloo Palak is essentially boiled potatoes in a mildly spiced vibrant green spinach gravy. This curry is a great accompaniment for rotis.
Virgin Mojito
Last Saturday started off very well with a splendid early morning concert followed by a hearty breakfast with some good friends. I then decided to go to the bank to complete some work and that was the mistake. By the time I got to the bank, it was about 10:00 AM and a baking 40°C. I was…
Khatti Meethi Teekhi Kaddu ki Sabzi | Sweet, Tangy and Spicy Red Pumpkin Curry
The absolutely great thing about blogging is the new things you get to learn every single day! Lal Bhopla (Kaddu or Gummidikaya) is a staple in our home. I normally use it to make Lal Bhopla Bharit, traditional Andhra Gummidikaya Koora, Mathanga Erissery or then Mukkala Pulusu. The other day I was just looking for…
Moong Dal Bhajiya
Moong Bhajiya is perfect for those times when your heart craves a crunchy spicy snack to accompany the piping hot cup of tea or coffee!
Atukula Attu | Aval Dosai | Poha Dosa | Sponge Dosa
Atukula Attu (Atukulu = Poha or Aval and Attu = Dosa in Telugu) is a super soft dosa that tastes great even when it is cold. Its spongy soft texture is the reason why it is called Sponge Dosa as well. 🙂
Vendakka Kichadi (Fried Okra in Coconut Flavoured Yogurt from Kerala)
April 15 was Vishu, the Malayalee New Year. I had planned an elaborate set of posts but did not get around to doing anything because work was very hectic as was my social life with engagements, weddings, and plays on the list. However, I am not the one to give in so easily and I made Vendakka…
