Fenugreek-yogurt gravy (Menthe tambli)
If you ask what I like in hot summer for a meal, the first thing that comes to my mind is any of the cold tamblis with rice. They are also easy to cook (at least according to me) because you need not slog in front of stove. Yes, I get irritated to stand in [...]
Rajma with yogurt
At my home, I think I am the only one who loves rajma. I had this for the first time in Belgaum and ever since then, I have been a big fan. I saw two of my friends, who were from Delhi, make a very creamy and tasty rajma. I tried exact same recipe, I [...]

Randayi is a Konkani sidedish which has juicy coconut paste. Different vegetables, lentils are used to make randayis. Pineapple and peas is a very unique combination which tastes great.

I got the recipe in Taste of home magazine. I made quite a [...]
Lemony masoor dal with vegetables
I love dals with lemon juice. Latha’s lemon rasam has been a great hit at my home. We also love dali thoy with some lemon juice on top. I want to slowly increase the usage of lemon and decrease tamarind and tomato in my cooking. Lets see how that goes.
This dal is inspired by Sanjeev [...]

Pulav was not a common dish at our place 20 years ago. People here prefer rice and gravies to these dishes. I started making different types of [...]
Angel hair pasta in lemon cream sauce with chicken
It was our first valentine’s day in the US, we had never celebrated this day before. I had just got a new job. So we thought of celebrating the day. I knew V does not like any non-Indian food, but I insisted that we go to an Italian restaurant. He booked in Zio’s restaurant which [...]
Filbert Gateau with Praline Buttercream
It’s time for Daring baker’s challenge again. When I saw this month’s challenge, I was very disappointed. It looked very similar to the Opera cake that we made couple of months ago. Many other DBs had the same concern. But one thing that made me try this was the chocolate. I am not a chocoholic, [...]

Pasta with soya crumbles
About a year ago or so, somewhere on this blog I had mentioned that we both love pastas. So Gowri sent me this recipe. Thanks a lot Gowri.
I am not very fond of soya products even though I know it is good for health. Something about it’s taste used to put me down. (But for [...]
Sanjeev Kapoor is one of India's most popular chefs and author. This book is the first in the series called "Khana Khazana: Celebration
of Indian Cookery" which has been planned in order to familiarize food
lovers with long forgotten regional cuisines of India. These recipes
will open the doors to the unexplored range of recipes that had been
relegated to the archives.
A lot of painstaking research has gone into collecting these recipes.
Each state and region included in this book has its own cuisine and
local flavour. In this book the author introduces a variety of dishes that
have been perfected by our ancestors. At the same time care has been
taken to ensure that the ingredients used are easily available and if
not, a substitute has been suggested. Chettinad Fried Chicken, Kombdi
Wada, Chingri Malai Curry, Rayalseema Pesarettu, Kolhapuri Pandhra
Rassa, Kesari Rajbhog, Khajoori Shahi Tukra are just a glimpse of the
fabulous tongue tickling recipes you will find between the two covers
of this book. They will not only bring in India's diversity into your
home kitchens but also help you to satiate the best of gourmet palates.
