Rabdi/Kesar Rabdi

August 29, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Kesar Rabdi

He would come pretty early in morning, cycling laboriously, with his paraphernalia that would add to the weight on his bicycle. He carried a big kadhai (pan), no not just big, a gigantic one, a large iron ladle, a fuel stove and enough fuel to last him the day. He would start with simmering the milk in that pan. I would mostly be in my slumber and would wake up to the pleasant aroma of milk, the milk that would had simmered for some time and filled up the streets with the aroma emanating from the pan.

Lahsun ki chutney

Rajasthan is the land of Maharajas and warriors. The contribution of this arid and desert state to the food culture of our country is immense. Rajasthani cuisine boasts of some incredibly delicious vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The dishes like Laal Maas, Hari mirch ka maas, safed maas and vegetarian dishes like Gatte ki sabzi, kadhi, Rajasthani Bhindi are some of the gems of this rich cuisine. It also has a handsome list of accompaniments that enriches its cuisine even further.

Mangalore- Goli Baje, Kori Rotti and More (Day 2)

August 26, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Day 2:

A light melodious symphony of alarm woke me up from my slumber. I silenced the alarm sliding my index finger over the mobile screen. I have detested all my life waking up to regular buzzer or any screaming, loud alarms. It would wake me up with a jolt but would leave me in a grumpy mood for couple of hours. So I decided to switch to lighter music to wake me up. I pulled the mobile close to my eyes, peered at it to inspect the time. The digital clock ticked along and it was six o clock in the morning.

Dahi ka Halwa

August 20, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Dahi Ka Halwa

We all have grown up, listening to stories. There would be that one storyteller in the family, who would enthrall you with stories every night. I remember my Badi Maa (Father’s elder brother’s wife) was an avid story teller. We kids would play throughout the evening and when it would get darker, some elder would drag us back to home. At home, we would get restless and urge Badi Maa to finish off her chores, so she could spend more with us. More time would mean more stories.

Eggless Whole Wheat Chocochip cookies

August 16, 2015 by Smita Singh Leave a Comment

Whole wheat cookies

I am often faced with a dilemma in mornings. Pranay and I, often enjoy some cookies with a cup of coffee or milk. However, the cookies that we often buy from market are not up to our liking. So we decided to start baking some fresh cookies for us that would last for 3-4 days before we bake them again. I also carry these cookies in a small container at my work, so that I can munch on them during evening snacks.

Lauki ka katra/Pakora (Bottle gourd fritters)

August 13, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Lauki ka pakora

Cuisine is a testament to our evolution. It has gone through a continuous churning process wherein a new dish becomes part of a culture, an alteration has been made to some traditional recipes and some old recipes fade away from our memories. This fundamental point also applies to cuisines in India. If you must have observed, I have referred to “cuisines in India” and not “Indian cuisine”.  Cuisine in India is a perfect example of the basic fabric that describes our country “unity in diversity”.

Rajasthani Bhindi (Okra stuffed with gram flour and crisp fried)

August 9, 2015 by Pranay Singh 2 Comments

Rajasthani Bhindi

At the onset let me admit that neither am I sure about the origins of this recipe, nor do I know much about the evolution of this recipe. What struck me, however, was the fact that I read in an article about Bhindi (Okra) and Rajasthan. Okra is one of the most famous and popular vegetable crop that is cultivated in Rajasthan. This article piqued my interest and I started reading more about the topic.

Nadan Egg Roast- Kerala Egg Roast | An egg delicacy from Kerala cuisine

August 5, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Nadan mutta roast

Last year, I had an opportunity of visiting Kerala twice. Before taking this vacation, I had checked with my Malayali friends about the food items that I must not miss having during my trip to Kerala. I had a list of must-try dishes ready in my possession and Nadan-Egg Roast was one recipe that was on top of that list. During my first trip, I tried several restaurants but they did not have this recipe on their menu. On fourth day of my trip, when I was in Alleppey, enjoying my every moment of stay on the houseboat, we were in company of a very warm and courteous crew.
