For the final day of recipes from Asian countries, I picked a delicious sweet from Iran. I also came across this sweet in Turkish cuisine, and there are some variations in the recipes available online. I chose to make the simplest one. Made entirely of almond flour and sugar, this one was somewhat like halwa […]
Bread baking is one of my favourite and if you look at my bread recipe index you will understand my passion. I have tried so many varieties of bread so far and there are so many yet to explore. Bread Bakers gives me the opportunity to bake a bread every month and with a theme […]
For the third day of stuffed dishes, I have a dessert. Ever since I visited Kuremal in Old Delhi, I wanted to make fruit stuffed kulfis. And what a better day than a hot day on May! When I first read about the theme, my first dish of the choice was this kulfi. Sruti loves […]
For the second day, I have a delicious snack from Gujarat. Made with bajra flour, these vadas are crispy and flaky and taste yum with a cup of coffee or tea. These are one of the dishes made two days before Janmashtami. The day before Janmashtami is Shitala Satam and they don’t light fire on […]
For the first day of regional cuisine from a country theme, I have a sweet to start with. Kada /Karah Prasad is the sweet offered as prasad in gurudwar. This is a famous Punjabi sweet. When I visited Gurudwar in Delhi, they served this prasad hot and it was so tasty. Usually prasad given in […]
During the earlier stages of blogging, I used to collect so many cook books. Those books gave me ideas on making dishes, though I rarely cook recipes from books. When I exhausted the recipes from internet, I referred to some of my books. One was Tarla Dalal’s Rajasthani Cook Book. I am a great fan […]
When I first read about thabadi peda from Gujarat I felt that it was so much similar to Thirattu paal and Belgaum kunda. But there are small variation in the recipe and the way the sweets are finally shaped also makes the difference. There are not too many recipes online. One recipe was totally made […]
Gulab Jamun samosa is a delicious sweet made combining two if my favourite dishes. I saw this at Vaishali’s blog and decided to make it. This is a really innovative recipe and only Vaishali can come up with such recipes. As I had some samosa dough recipes lined up, I decided to make this part […]
When I posted Dharwad Peda (mawa version) earlier, I told you that I also made the paneer version of the peda. So here it is. I saw a few recipes that used paneer as the base and so I tired it out. When the paneer changed colour, it also became quite crispy. Even adding milk […]
When our Blogging Marathon buddies met last year, we visited Agra and Delhi. While returning from Agra, Vaishali took us to a famous sweet stall – Devi Ram Sweets. Every dish we tasted there was absolutely yum, but one which bowled me over was the makkan samosa. At first I thought it to be some […]
