Officially, India has no designated national vegetable. If there would have been any, my vote would go for Potato. Here is a guy, who is loved across the board.

Chole-Masala

IMG_0536-1

We all have two choices, recall our sad moments and feel sad or recall our happy moments and feel sadder. I prefer the later one. “Chole Masala” makes me nostalgic. It reminds me of the best days of my life. Ironically, we realize the importance of these best moments only when they have passed.

Matar ki Tahari

Matar ki Tahari

This recipe also comes from my Sasural’s Khana Khazana!! In Uttar Pradesh, it’s a winter delicacy and specially prepared on the auspicious occassion of “Makar Sankranthi”.It’s a Harvest Festival! People consider Urad dal is “Shubh”. On Sankranthi early morning , a vessel containing mixture of Urad dal and rice is kept in Poorab disha( Rising Sun direction )and every family member touches it before starting their day. Hence this Tahari also contains lentils like Urad and Chana dal along with Matar.

Mangalorean Masala Fish Fry

Masala Fish Fry

Dear reader, the fact that I originally hail from one of the coastal regions of India largely contribute to the fact that my palate has developed significant affinity to all those recipes that feature seafood as  one of the primary ingredients. So if you notice the quantity of recipes tilting more in favor of seafood recipes, you should not be surprised.

Vegetable Hakka Noodles

Veg Hakka Noodles

I had picked up this recipe during one of those days when I was still a struggling cook, when my passion for cooking were limitless but I was low on skills.
