Beat the Heat! Boondi Raita

March 15, 2017 by Pranay Singh Leave a Comment

Boondi Raita

We are in the mid of March and I can clearly see the mercury soaring to new levels with every passing week. I shudder to think of how nature will unravel itself in the months of April-May, which have been the conventional ‘hot months’ in India.

Bhindi ka raita

Dear readers, in the culinary landscape of Indian cuisine, Biryani is one of those revered dishes that finds itself equally popular amongst the elites and the general masses.
