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. The assembly part is indeed the easiest one.
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. Gulab Jamun is one of the most well-known and much relished Indian sweets. It consists of fried dumplings dipped in sugar syrup that is laced with the mesmerizing flavor of cardamoms. The
Hello dear readers. I hope you had a blast today on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan. We had a lot of guests today and made lavish lunch comprising a spread of yummy but easy-to-make recipes. One of the side-dishes I made was this Tangy Paneer & Capsicum Stir-Fry. It gets ready within minutes and tastes great. It can be paired with naan or roti with daal tadka and raita on
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
Hello folks! How have you been? I hope you continue to cook great food and enjoy it with your family. I made pav bhaji yesterday for lunch after so many months. It is a Maharashtrian fast food that is believed to have its roots in Mumbai, where it originated. This is one delicacy I love to the core. It is spicy, tangy and has a characteristic flavor that comes from the special spice mix known

Laced with strawberry sauce? Sounds good! Sweet French toasts taste delicious, smell heavenly and look alluring! This is a Nigella Lawson recipe that I watched on TLC last year. It was resting in my diary since a
Hi there! Looking for a recipe for which you can use whatever you have in your fridge today? Well for me, “cleaning the refrigerator” cooking is very exciting. I start blank without a plan. I just dig the veggies out and come up a recipe impromptu. It’s absolute joy thinking quickly and executing the thoughts in your head and coming up with a scrumptious dish. The end result is like a
Today I created a really colorful dish from my Mom’s old recipe diary. It is ‘Vegetable Jalfrezi’ and it is filling and delicious. It consists a variety of vegetables, cubed and sautéd in thick gravy. I also added some paneer, because it adds substance to the recipe. And naturally, I tried out a different spice mix. I used Maggi Masala-e-Magic to this recipe and it gave a nice zest to
Today was just great. The good news of me completing my post-graduation with 1st class called for a little celebration. Sweets and desserts are an important part of celebration at my place when something really good and significant happens. Since it’s been raining incessantly for a couple of days, I was a bit reluctant to step outside to buy some sweets or may be a cake. So I decided to whip up an easy dessert

After sabudana vadas yesterday, I decided to make chana dal vadas. Chana dal is the split Bengal gram. The fritter made from chana dal are extremely delicious and filling. You can have it with green chutney or tomato ketchup. I served them with green chutney drizzled with some sweetened yogurt. The contrast of spicy with sweet leaves you craving for more. The flavors of fritters, zesty chutney and sugary yogurt
