Kadi is one of the favorite main-course dish of north Indians. Normally the gravy in any of the non-dry vegetable dish is called a 'Curry' and is made with potato and other ingredients. This one is actually made with Gram Flour (Besan in Hindi) and Sour Curd. Some people also like to use Onion and Garlic but we have avoided them as we like it without them. If you want you can add them as per your taste and choice. [More]

It is the start of winter season in India and the season for Pea-nuts. You would see people chewing them everwhere. It is because, pea-nut's inherent attributes make it hot (called taasir in common language) and hence people like to eat it more in winters. You can obviously eat it raw but what about roasting it and adding a bit of salt to add to its taste? If you have grown up in India, you would have certainly eaten the roasted peanuts from the street side pop-corn vendor who also sells peanuts. We are just listing the same process which he (pop-corn vendor) uses to roast pea-nuts without using any oil whatsoever! [More]
To change the taste and include more nutritious food in our diet while fasting, we tried making a poori wi Bottle gourd (called Ghiya in hindi). If you don't know already, Bottle gourd is a fruit and hence can be eaten in Navratra Fast (Vrat). Again, we have not stuffed Ghiya the conventional way i.e. putting them at the center of Puri and then closing the ends. We have infact mixed the Kuttu and Singhada Flour with Ghiya in the Dough itself. This makes it easy to roll the puri and reduces the chances of breaking down of dough. Enjoy this simple and easy recipe for making Stuffed Ghiya Puri. [More]

Meethe chawal or you can say sweet rice is a favorite dish of almost all kids. It is also a preferred thing to eat on some festivals like karwaChauth fast (Vrat) by the fast observers (ladies off-course).

Normally, they prefer to eat sweet mathri's along with sweet rice (meethe chawal). [More]
