Festivities like Ganesh Chaturthi , Dussehra and Diwali are just around the corner. For me, this is the most awaited time of the year with decked up markets, a little chill in the air and happiness all around, emanating an aura of positivity and elation in each and every heart. This is also the time when I gear up for the celebrations indulging in shopping, decorating the house and offcourse preparing some traditional sweets and savories at home for all my friends and family.

Halwai Style Hing Jeera Aloo ki Sabzi

By -
Image
Hing Jeera Aloo ki Sabzi is a spicy potato curry mostly enjoyed in UP and other parts of Northern India. The lip-smacking curry makes for a perfect accompaniment to kachoris, parathas as well as pooris. Traditionally, it is paired with Bedmi Poori - a spiced lentil stuffed crispy fried bread, yet another popular delicacy from the region. For me, Hing Jeera Aloo, Bedmi Poori and a chilled glass of meethi lassi makes for the most hearty breakfast to ever enjoy. The ongoing lockdown has made us stay inside our homes for more than a month now. With that, I am sure most of you would be missing that tentalizing Sunday breakfast of poori aloo ki sabzi, kachoris and samosas from that one special halwai highly famous in your colonies - am I right? Even I am missing that lipsmacking street-side breakfast, and therefore, decided to make this hing jeera aloo ki sabzi in traditional halwai style at home. Served it with bedmi poori and our yummilicious breakfast for today was sorted in n...

Perfect Instant Homemade Bhatura Recipe | How to Make Bhatura

By -
Image
Bhatura is a leavened, puffed deep fried bread made from Maida or All Purpose Flour. A popular recipe from the Punjabi cuisine, it is mainly served with spiced chickpea curry such as Pindi Chholey and Amritsari Chholey . Traditionally, bhatura is made using fermented dough, which is rested for minimum of 6 hours and has a peculiar tang to it. However, when you are short of time and crave for this delicious Chole Bhatura combo, these instant bhaturas come to your rescue. Quick and easy to prepare, they use Eno Fruit Salt as the leavening agent and trust me, that lends the bhaturas with that perfect crispness on outside and perfect fluffiness on the inside. If you can't lay your hands on eno, alternatively, you also have the option to use baking powder and baking soda. Without wasting any time further, let's start with the recipe.

Dry Moong Dal Mini Samosa | Farsaan Samosa

By -
Image
Loaded with a tantalizing dry moong dal filling, these mini samosas are a perfect addition to your festive menu, be it of Diwali, Holi, Eid, Raksha Bandhan or Ganesh Chaturthi. Mini Dry Moong Dal Samosa | Farsaan Samosa Samosas have always been one of my favorite snacks to munch on with a hot cup of chai (tea). While the spicy  aloo samosas  are absolutely delectable, these bite size samosas filled with a spicy and a bit tangy dry lentil filling are also to die for. Additionally, they have a much longer shelf life and stay crisp easily for 15 to 20 days if stored in an air-tight container. Planning any party, get-together or a special event, not to mention, these mini dry moong dal samosas make for a perfect snack to be served to the guests. Without waiting any further, let's begin with the recipe. INGREDIENTS Maida/All Purpose Flour - 1 and 1/2 cups Refined oil - 3 tbsp Salt - 1/2 tsp Ajwain - 1 tsp Water - as needed, aro...

By -

Khubani or Apricots (as known in English) are few of the super-power fruits known for their endless nutritional and health benefits. A regular intake of these gorgeous beauties not only aid in improving digestion, boosting metabolism and regulating the overall cardiovascular health but, also the anti-oxidants present in them prevent premature ageing and cancer, two of the most widely known diseases these days that are getting quite common due to a stressful lifestyle. Being aware of all the benefits of apricots, when I recently found their dried version lying in my dry-fruit box, it took me no time in deciding to put them to use in a special way... well!! not in a sweet dish or a dessert but, in a savory delicacy. I had watched the recipe of this Apricot Chicken Curry on a TV channel only a few days back and therefore, I was already fresh with the idea of how it is made. Also, when I searched more about it on the internet, I came to learn that this recipe has its roots in the Pa...
