This is a quick and easy fresh recipe that is sure to bring a zing to your taste buds. While I like the convenience of pouring salsa out of the bottle, there is something about fresh made salsas that no gourmet labelled salsa can compete with. The most basic salsa anyone can make would be…
Pav Bhaji -homemade yet streetwise
Pav Bhaji hardly needs any introduction. It is one of the most popular street foods in Maharashtra, originating in the city of Bombay. It has an interesting history and supposedly came into being during the blockades of the American Civil War. Go figure! Pav bhaji is made with a mélange of vegetables, typically potatoes, cauliflower,…
SBDP or Sev Batata Dahi Puri – anytime delight!
Chaat is that Indian delight which can awaken your senses any time of the day, month or the year, whether its sweltering heat outside or a snowy blizzard. It has several taste elements such as hot, sour, sweet, salty and is probably an acquired taste. I remember eating bhel and pani puri even as a…
Corn Chaulai Bhaji
Chaulai (marathi) greens are readily available now in Pune. The tedious part is cleaning and plucking the leaves but its a necessary chore.

Cavatappi Pasta in Saffron Tomato sauce
Saffron – just the name brings something exotic to mind. This is one of the most expensive spices and is popularly used in several desserts in Indian cuisine. Being very expensive, it is generally reserved for special occasions. Using this in a pasta sauce was a completely novel idea for me. As I searched the…

Misal Pav – Hot and Spicy Street Food
This blog was started with the aim of posting some cherished family and regional Maharashtrian recipes, both easy and complicated, regular weekday ones or delicacies.

Thai Pineapple Fried Rice
Thai food is well known for its fiery nature. Many Thai food novices have exuberantly asked for ‘Very spicy’ or ‘Thai Spicy’ food, only to have their mouths burn and then learnt to ask for a much lower spice level. But this rice dish is the exception. Thai Pineapple Fried Rice is one dish that…
