Hello buddies. After the sandwich madness, I am back to the usual cooking. Today’s recipe is Aloo Gobi recipe. This is not just any other run of the mill Aloo Gobi Masala or Gobi Aloo preparation. Potato and cauliflower are my two of my favorite vegetables. Combining them together only does magic. The different technique of cooking this delicious side dish is what sets it apart from the usual aloo
Sandwiches are the most versatile food I have ever known. It is the simplicity of the concept that allures me the most. It’s just 2 or 3 slices of bread topped one upon the other, packing all the sinful goodness of delectable ingredients in between. You can select the type of bread you want. You can choose the bread-spread of your choice, butter, cheese, jam, chocolate or peanut butter. You
Idlis are a quick fix to the breakfast dilemmas. Make it from rice, idli rava or just the plain rawa; they always come out delicious, healthy and filing. Previously I had shared the idli recipe made from idli rava. Today’s recipe is masala rava idli, which is made using the usual semolina and nuts. The nuts and chana daal render a nice crunch and texture to the idlis. This is
Hello dear buddies. Today’s recipe is a very exciting one. It is pizza puff recipe that is loaded with goodness of veggies and oodles of cheese. I have made the pastry and pizza sauce at home.

Hello buddies. Here I am with a brand new rice recipe, Veg Pulao Recipe. Many of us often get confused between vegetable biryani and vegetable pulao. It is really simple to distinguish between biryani and pulao. The biryani is richer than the pulao, spicier and of course more tedious to pull together. The main ingredients, veggies or meats, are cooked in spicy gravy, which is then combined with rice in
Hello buddies! Do you feel a strong urge to eat something sweet after you finish your meal? But you often find nothing sweet in your kitchen. Sometimes we just do not have time or energy to whip up a cake or pudding. The sweet tit-bits that can can be stored for a couple of weeks come handy at such moments. Shakkar Para is one of the most popular traditional Indian sweets. Shakkar Paras are bite-sized

But it is all justified. Sizzling Brownie is one of the most magical desserts. It is fairly easy to make Sizzling Brownie at home, when you come to the think of it.

We Indians have a weakness for our traditional sweets. Halwa, jalebi, barfi or gulab jamuns; we love all of them equally! One of my personal favorites is the Besan Halwa. I have been to several sweet shops, but I have come across just a couple of them who sell Besan Halwa. So, Besan Halwa is more of a make-at-home sweet for me. I had tried making Besan Halwa several times,
Does the cloudy weather make you crave for fried and spicy snacks? Every time it rains in the evening, you want to have a serving of hot pakodas or Punjabi Samosa with your Masala Chai and you just can’t get enough of the store-bought goodies. Why not just make hot and yummy Samosa at home? For those who are unfamiliar with samosas, allow me to explain to you what exactly it
Raitas are a great accompaniment for khichdi, biryani and pulaos. They are so soothing to the taste buds and have a cooking effect as they cut the heat from spicy food. For those who are not familiar with raita, it is a yogurt preparation containing different veggies or fruits, seasoned with salt and sugar and sometimes tempered. Today I’m sharing the recipe of onion and tomato raita. I tempered it
We Sindhis love to fry our side-dishes. Moreover, we love to add potatoes to most of the side-dishes. We love our dal and rice like no one else! And of course it is served with fried and spiced veggies on the side. Fried and spiced potatoes, brinjals, okras, yams and capsicums; we swear by all of these. Sometimes we just mix 2 or 3 veggies together to create variety. Today I
Hello folks. I am back with a side-dish recipe today. It is another recipe of how I make cabbage. Actually, I came up with this recipe after I tasted a similar cabbage dish in a restaurant. I tried to recognize as many ingredients as possible. It also had a prominent taste of coconut milk. I like the flavor of coconut milk and it paired up really well with cabbage and
I am back with yet another rice recipe. Yes! Yet another one! Rice are just so versatile, you can cook them in hundred different ways and still not get enough of it. The magical white grains are just so delicious yet embracing the different flavors at the same time. I posted the moong dal khichdi recipe in my previous post. Now it’s time for some pilao action! Green peas pair
After dal and rice, khichdi is the next dish on my list of comfort food. Well some of you would wonder what the difference is, because khichdi is made from dal and rice. But what makes khichdi stand apart from the dal and rice is the fact that it consists of different set spices and the method of cooking also differs. The dal and rice are combined together and pressure-cooked
After hogging on all the fancy and rich food for several days, my soul craved for something simple. So today we made dal and rice with stir-fried cabbage on the side. Dal and rice is my ultimate comfort food. Any dry side-dish would taste fabulous. It just cannot go wrong. Instead of the usual fried potatoes I made dry cabbage curry that gets ready within minutes. It is a humble
Hi buddies! It’s dessert time! So like I mentioned in the previous post that we had guests for lunch on the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan the other day, we had Gulab Jamun and vanilla ice-cream for dessert.

I love to have beverages with my meals, especially with snacks. Sandwiches, nachos, fries and sizzlers are incomplete without a tall glass of iced tea on the side. I like the lemon iced tea that I make from the store-bought iced tea powder. So I said to myself, why not make iced tea from scratch at home. I tried 5 to 6 different recipes of iced tea and this one
Like I had mentioned in my previous post of Pav Bhaji Recipe, I make extra pav bhaji to relish on the next day because it tastes just gorgeous. For many of us, it all about what to do with leftover pav bhaji. For me it is more about what delicious novelty to create with the extra pav bhaji I made. I make open face sandwiches, tawa pulao and grilled cheese sandwiches with the
