Pithla – An authentic Maharashtrian delicacy

Pithla

I had a holiday voucher lying in my closet for close to a year now since its purchase. We knew about it and had discussed several times about putting it to use before the voucher expires. Finally when the last month of its validity had arrived, and we still were unprepared for a holiday, we decided to leverage the voucher for weekend getaway, a holiday in Mahabaleshwar-Panchgani.

Tomato Bhaji/Tomatochi Chatni

December 20, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Tomato-Bhaji

Last week I was unable to make weekly purchase of my weekly essentials which primarily is about buying vegetables. I had a critical issue to address at office, and it demanded my complete attention. Well that is the sad part of my job, I never know when the emergency comes calling. So as it panned out, I could not go out and make purchase of vegetables and all that I was left with was few ripe tomatoes that kept staring back at me as I pulled out my vegetable tray, asking for my attention.

Masala Chai- (Spiced Tea)

December 10, 2015 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Masala chai

The mornings have become nippy and days have become shorter. The month of November has gone by gradually and indolence has seeped in all around. No one gets spared by this sluggish air, even the effervescent Sun seems to be too lazy to rise in the mornings and eager to pull down its curtain in the evenings. If a celestial body like Sun falls into temptation of snuggling behind the blanket of fog spread by nature, how can the lesser mortals like us be spared?

Achaari Chole Pulao

Achaari Chole Pulao

Being a food enthusiast, I can lay claim to my share of learnings. One of the major aspect of this learning process has been to expect surprises at most unexpected places. My strong conviction into this philosophy was reaffirmed, when last month we went for a road trip. I enjoy the road trips for the foods that I encounter at different places, and interspersed somewhere in heaps of dishes on the menu, one can find few gem of the recipes.

Aloo Pudina Raita (Potato-Mint Raita)

December 3, 2015 by Pranay Singh 3 Comments

Aloo Pudina Raita

Last week we had a dinner planned out for our guest. On their insistence we kept it a low key affair. We decided to do away with an elaborate 4 course meal and make a simple one-pot meal. What better than a Biryani for such meals. As our guests had a strong appetite and craving for fiery food, we made biryani reasonably spicy to suit their palate. However, we were hesitant and decided to go easy by adding a Raita to our menu. We needed something that will complement the spicy biryani and will provide a cooling after-effect and so we added Aloo-Pudina Raita to our menu.
