Mango Frozen Yogurt – 3 Ingredient Summer Recipe
Mangoes! It is raining mangoes here in Pune. Western Maharashtra, the region where I live has a fascination for mangoes, especially Hapus or Alphonso. No other mango makes the cut for folks here. And the Alphonso season is pretty short because people stop eating mangoes in June. No mangoes after it rains, is the mantra….
Paneer 65 Recipe – Simple Indian Appetizer
The ‘65’ dish has always eluded me. Hyderabadis are crazy about it. I have many a friend from the Charminar city who has waxed on and on about Chicken 65. But whenever I have seen it served, it has always been suspiciously red, either with color or chili. Since I do not care for them,…
Dahi Vada – Lentil Dumplings with Spiced Yogurt Recipe
Dahi Vada is the best kept secret of Indian cooking. It is not that well known outside India.

Lasooni Paneer Tikka/ Malai Paneer Tikka with Saffron Rice
I have blogged about paneer tikka or tofu tikka earlier on the blog. For those that came in late, Paneer is Indian Farmer’s cheese made from fresh whey. It is not aged or salted and also does not have any rennet etc. added to it. It is popularly known as cottage cheese in India, but…

Bunny Chow Recipe – Curry meets South Africa
Bunny Chow sounds so interesting, doesn’t it? It definitely makes you wonder what the name means. Is it made for bunnies, or from bunnies? Well, Bunny Chow isn’t really connected to rabbits in any way. The ‘Bunny’ here refers to baniyas, indentured Indian workers who were transported to South Africa for working on sugar cane…
Achari Paneer – Exotic Indian Pickle Sauce Recipe
Achari Paneer is a tangy spicy simple preparation of Paneer cheese in pickling spices. ‘Achar’ means Pickle and ‘Achari’ implies ‘pickle like’. The pickles referred to here are Indian style pickles and not dill pickles in brine. The whole Achari concept took off a few years ago and achari paneer tikka now occupies place…
Kanchipuram Idli Recipe – South Indian Brunch
Kanchipuram Idli has been on my to-do list for a long time. I heard about this years ago from a friend but was always skeptical. When I think Idli, I think of the pure white snowy pillows that just dissolve in your mouth. Adding spices or turmeric seemed like sacrilege. Like throwing a stone in…
