September 11, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Chappathis or rotis are a common feature at everyone’s home.Specially if you have diabetic patients at home,rotis form a major part of their diet.It is not easy for beginners to roll out perfect shaped rotis and I at the initial stage have made rotis in all shapes and sizes.So in a small attempt to make things easier for those who are new in the kitchen,I think this post might be useful.For rotis to stay soft for a longer time kneading should be properly done.To master it you should constantly make them and you can gain expertise in no time.Here is…

Me and my hubby are not a big fan of paneer,but daughter dear loves it to the core.So whenever we go out to eat she would order one paneerrecipe.We had this paneer jalfrezi in a restaurant close to home called 1947.I had no clue of it’s taste but when it did came I found myself enjoying it with roomali rotis.So when Dhivya asked me to make that last week,I couldn’t resist myself in taking pictures as it was very colourful and a good balance of vegetables,paneer and spices.Paneer is always heathy,specially for kids as it has calcium and vitamin D.So…

BESAN WALI SIMLA MIRCH

February 19, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

This is one yummy exotic dish which i tasted at one of my marwadi friend’s house.Much back in college days, but i still remember the taste, so flavourful yet crunchy.We always make different gravy items for rotis and phulkas with capsicum.This one uses only one vegetable here and that is king capsicum.You could have this for vrat days as well as no onion or garlic is included in the making.Roasted besan imparts a nice aroma and the coat it gives to capsicum is simply awesome.Do try this tasty dry curry for your rotis and rice,I’m sure you’ll enjoy this.See down…

MOHAN THAL/GRAM FLOUR FUDGE

February 14, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Mohan Thal is actually a dessert from Rajasthan where sweets are eaten at almost any time of the day.It is a gram flour based fudge, but unlike it’s south Indian cousin Mysore Pak it has a crumbled consistency and the taste is simply unique and awesome.It is also served as prasad in many temples in north India and so can be called as sweets for the GODS.I had this at my north indian friend’s wedding many years back and the taste still lingers in my tongue.This recipe was given to me by my mother from a cookery magazine.It doesn’t sound…
