A Vegetarian food blog with Step by Step Recipes
After an unexpected hiatus of two months, we are back with yet another traditional recipe for Indian Cooking Challenge. This month it’s a baked dish from the Hyderabad Cuisine. I have adapted the recipe from Zaiqa. Its called the Dum ke Rote or Baked Sweet Semolina flat breads. Mona says these rote (also referred to as roat), are baked/cooked […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge this month, we are travelling to Andhra to make a traditional sweet with Bajra. The recipe is suggested by Padma, who got it from her Mom. I ended up making it just few hours before deadline and Athamma was with me, seeing what I was trying to make. Seeing me mix the […]
After a break last month in Indian Cooking Challenge, we decided to make an Indian Sweet, Badam Halwa, a speciality from Rajathnan. However as most sweets across India, we find all states making a halwa in a similar way. I already have made a Badam Halwa, but couldn’t miss out the opportunity when Vaishali said she made it and found it so […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge this month, I decided to select Mohanthal, a Gujarati Special Sweet. I remember reading about this recipe in Meenakshi Ammal’s Cook and See. However the measurement was for huge amount and I wasn’t really up to scaling it down. With the Mega Marathon going on and me writing each day, I knew even cooking […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge, we took up a very tough one, Utanki from Andhra. I think this must be one of the toughest challenge we ever made. I had selected couple of dishes ahead of time as Vaishali didn’t want to miss because of her travelling. She almost did most and confirmed everything was […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge, the inspiration came when I glanced on a dish that was shared on FB. I was so taken in by that, that I had to google it right away to see what it was. Infact I joined the group just to know the name of the dish. I was told it […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge, this month, I asked Pavani to suggest something. She wrote back saying we should try some new cuisine, especially from Assam and pointed to Sunita’s blog. I was surprised wondering how I forgot Sunita’s space, as she has some authentic Assamese dishes. And I have been thinking I must select some Assamese […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge, I was really very early in selecting the challenge. I requested Mireille to suggest something she wants to make. She referred me to dish shared by Mona of Zaiqa, called the Meethay Ghoday. Mona says it’s a traditional Hyderabadi Dessert and they make for their festivals. I was so intrigued […]
Indian Cooking Challenge for March saw us making a simple, delicious sweet dish with rice from the Kashmiri Cuisine, Zarda ~ Sweet Saffron Rice. While this might sound very much like the Sakkarai Pongal of our South, Zarda surely differs in its rich inclusion of nuts and tutti fruity etc. As always I almost left […]
For the Indian Cooking Challenge this edition, I decided to ask my BM friends for ideas. As always I had a huge selection to go through, which I am sure will keep me occupied for many months. There were popular request to move to other unknown states, however I settled on Pazham Varatti after getting an email […]
