For today’s dish I take you to my favourite state of India, Gujarath. From childhood, whenever I saw the map of India, I like the state of Gujarath as it looks really cute. At that age, I din’t know anything about the state but when I went to college, there was an all India trip […]
For this month’s Indian Cooking Challenge, Srivalli got the recipe for Gujarathi snack Gathiya from Vaishali who got it from her friend. Gathiya is a savoury snack which is almost like the south Indian kara sev. The only difference is it is mildly spiced whereas kara sev is extremely spicy. I made this two days […]

As I mentioned yesterday, I made these tiny pakoras with paneer and potatoes to go along with the mullingatawny soup. This could be a nice appetizer to serve in small parties. Hubby liked it very much and told that it tasted like kola urundai. I had a cup of paneer for nearly 4 days and […]
Cheeval or ribbon pakoda can be prepared with chevu dough. There are so many recipes for this snack. I made it with rice flour and besan along with sesame seeds and pepper powder. You can also add garlic paste for a nice flavor. Mom gave this recipe and I made some changes like adding butter […]
