Yay! I am on the last day of the month long Blogging Marathon on Biryani and Pulaos. Today we will visit West Bengal for a delicious treat. Though this is the last to be posted, this is the first one I made for this BM. For the state of West Bengal I decided on this […]
When I was looking for recipes to try from Uttar Pradesh, I came across tehri. Also known as tehari, this is a vegetarian pulao which uses potato in it. Also the meat version of this pulao is available in Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is also sold as street food in Kashmir. Tehri is part of […]
This biryani was one of the most expect when I prepared the list. From Tripura, chicken biryani was the most famous recipes I found on research. And the method of cooking is what differentiated it from the other chicken biryani. I have watched so many shows where the anchors try out chicken biryani from road […]
Bhagara annam is a simple yet flavourful pulao from Telengana. This is made plain and served with spicy bagara baingan or bagara mamsam. When I read about the recipe, I felt that it was so much similar to kuska which we get in Tamil Nadu (though I posted a different version of kuska yesterday). But […]
When Valli announced the theme for this marathon one year back ( yes, we got the theme when doing last year’s mega BM) I was skeptical whether I could pull off 26 rice varieties as I and hubby were both off rice for more than a year, but I still enthusiastically gave my name for […]
When it comes to the states of North Eastern India, searching for recipes with easily available ingredients is tough. But still we manage to dish out recipes using various substitutes. Most of the recipes are mild when compared to the south Indian states and the ingredients are so unique. I somehow managed to cook from […]
I am really happy that three weeks of pulao and biryani festival passed by and I have shared so many recipes across India. I am starting the fourth week with a super filling pulao from Punjab. If you look for kofta pulao recipes, you will come across so many different varieties of koftas made with […]
Today, I am writing one recipe that is close to my heart. Amma lived in Pondicherry/ Puducherry as we call it today, for nearly 10 years and she learned a lot of dishes there. She was so good in making biryani/ pulao and there are so many fans of her recipe even now and I […]
Today, I have a really simple pulao from Odisha. The name nabratan means nine gems literally and there are some recipes such as navratan pulao, navratan kurma in Indian cuisine. The recipes may vary from state to state, but the final dish is a colourful one with lots of vegetables. This nabaratan palau from Odisha […]
Today’s recipe is from Mizoram, another North East state which turned out to be a tough choice. While selecting the states, I didn’t want to miss too many North eastern states, so searched hard for the recipes to make. I saw this sawchiar recipe at Archana’s Kitchen, which was an adaptation of the original recipe. […]
