Phanasachi Bhaji (Unripe Jackfruit dry masala preparation)

June 28, 2015 by Smita Singh 6 Comments

Phanasachi Bhaji

What happens, when a Konkani visits Kerala for vacation? Well, it is like a home coming which is what I experienced when I took a vacation to Kerala last year. The breath taking beauty of coastlines, canvas of beaches, houses built of laterite stones and the striking resemblance of food items used in the cuisines. The list includes fishes, coconuts and many more food items. However, in today’s blog I would like to discuss about a fruit that is also a vegetable. You must have guessed it by now that I am referring to jackfruit.

Spicy Masala Peanuts

Spicy Masala Peanuts

While posting this recipe, I must make a candid admission. I have a mixed bag of feelings while sharing this recipe. I am usually very cheerful and excited as I share my recipes with you dear readers. It is the happiness of making something new in my kitchen, and excitement of unknown. I wait for the comments and feedback that my readers share on my blogs and the videos. However, with this recipe, I have a bittersweet feeling, happy for sharing a savory snack recipe with you and heartbroken over the shocking series defeat that India encountered against Bangladesh.

Mutton Curry- A Delicacy from Uttar Pradesh- Bhojpur cuisine

June 21, 2015 by Pranay Singh 7 Comments

Mutton Curry from UP Cuisine

Folks, this weekend we continue with our gastronomic excursion of Uttar Pradesh food. We are in particular, making some recipes that we have grown up eating, and it is very difficult to find some restaurants serving these preparations. So we decided to delve into our recipe diary, made some frantic calls to our aunts asking them about their secret recipes and came up with this delicious recipe preparation.  I feel it is very important for us to document such recipes from Indian regional cuisines which are very poorly documented till now, and only exists in the memory lanes of our mom, granny and aunts.

Chana Dal Ki Bharwan Namkeen Poori

Chana Dal ki Bharwan Poori

This week we decided to head back to North Indian cuisine and explore something from kitchen of Uttar Pradesh.  The motivation behind this exploration is my MIL. She has come to stay with us this month. So we decided to leverage this opportunity and prepare some authentic recipes from Rasois (kitchen) of UP and since Paranthas and pooris are my favorite part, I thought it would be more apt for us to try some stuffed paranthas.

Paan Pasanda Ice cream

This was on my cards; the recipe had waited long enough, as an entry in my recipe diary and it was about time I made this dessert.If you are wondering, how it tastes like, I would use a term to describe it, that I heard in the movie “Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory”, “its scrumdiddlyumptious”. I can’t get over the taste of this ice-cream. One of my dear friends “Chaya Ratnaparkhi” had shared this recipe with me some time ago. I had discussed this recipe with Pranay and how we should be preparing this ice-cream sooner than later. Finally, last Sunday we decided to make it.

Achari Murg (Chicken in Pickled Sauce)

June 7, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Achari-Murg-02

The most admirable and fascinating aspect of Indian cooking is its diversity. India, being such a vast country with phenomenal diversity, this diversity is widespread in almost every aspect of life. Food is no exception. For someone like me, born in North Indian family and married to a beautiful lady from Konkan, it becomes an obvious practice if my food preparations are more inclined towards these two regions of India.
