“India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grandmother of tradition,” says Mark Twain, an American writer, and it perfectly sums up everything about India, including its cuisine. Marked with the cultural impact of many countries, Indian cuisine has a flavor of its own, bringing an explosion of different tastes, aromas, and presentations. There is a dish that suits every kind of palette: a complete meal. Sweet, bitter; tangy, spicy; plain, and rich; Indian cuisine offers you every type of food you can possibly think of. And the good part? A vast majority of the dishes focus on maintaining a good diet & overall health too! How did Indian cuisine evolve? The history of India can be divided into four significant periods, per a review of India’s socio-history. From meat to pulses, the Indus valley civilization era, the earliest among them, is found to consume every kind of food, though we know little about the people. Food preparation with boiling water was evident from the shapes of bowls excavated from the site. Then came the Aryan invasion era, which brought yoga, literature, and religion into the nation. Their staple food products were vegetarian, with the exception of milk and milk products. They also cultivated wheat, sugarcane, millets, lentils, rice, and other cereals. Following the Vedic era of the Aryans comes the rule of the Mughals. Famous Indian dishes like Naan, Gravies, and Desserts were...

Who is behind the website? I am Praveen Kumar, from Chennai, India. I have always had a passion for food right from my school days. At that time the school canteen (cafeteria) was run by the commerce students of 11th and 12th grade with the help of the accounts teacher. I was always available to be a part of the team that ran the canteen during the lunch break. This was during 1995 to 1997. In 2002, I moved to England to pursue my post graduation and luck would have it that I was reunited with food once again. I took up a part-time job in Greggs (a very popular British bakery chain). In a few weeks, my part-time became a full time role and there I was happily enjoying my stint in retail food and being in the thick and thin of what I loved to do. In 2006, I moved back to India and started my professional career in digital marketing, SEO and content. I was employed by a leading Internet company in Chennai and I played a part in setting up the food website for the company. Eventually, I decided to create something on my own and that's when the idea for Awesome Cuisine was born. In 2007-08, I set up the website turn my love for food and cooking into a blog where I could share my new found recipes and other kitchen escapades. Since then, the website has grown leaps and bounds into a huge...

### Names of Indian Condiments and Spices in English, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi and Malayalam

From thousands of years, spices have been an integral part of the Indian culture. They were being used for both medicinal and culinary purposes in ancient India. India flourished in the pre-British era mainly due to the export of silk and spices. The spices here were so aromatic that they attracted traders from all over the world. It is no longer a hidden secret that the deliciousness of Indian cuisines comes from the spices that are blended in them. India is one of the largest exporters of spices and condiments even today as the humid climate proves to be perfect for its growth. Most of the spices like turmeric, cardamom, etc. were previously grown only in India. However, the western countries soon realized the worth of these spices and started cultivating them in their gardens. Hing (Asafoetida), Elaichi (Cardamom), Lassan (Garlic), Adrak(Ginger), Khas-Khas (Poppy seeds) and Haldi (Turmeric) have been the key ingredients on Indian recipes from centuries. Apart from these, various other spices such as Tej Patta (Bay Leaves), Dalchini (Cinnamon), Ajwain (Carom seeds), Lavang (Cloves), Jeera (Cumin seeds), Dhania (Coriander seeds), Methi (Fenugreek seeds), Amchoor (Mango Powder), Jaiphal (Nutmeg), etc. were known to the natives but they found prominence in the Mughal Era as the Mughal cooked delicious kebabs, biryanis, and other tempting dishes by adding them in their recipes. Lal Mirch (Red Chilli), Hari Mirch (Green Chilli) and salt are mainly used for flavoring purposes and different variants of Red Chilli and Green Chilli can be found...

India has a legendary history when it comes to cultivating different kinds of vegetables. The diversity of climate and geography of India has only allowed the native people to grow different types of veggies in their fields. What we see in the city markets is just a small fragment which is grown in Indian villages. Most of these veggies do not rich the city markets as people in cities mostly prefer to eat what they have been taught to eat from decades. However, you will be surprised to see the sheer variety if you truly decide to explore the variety of beans, leafy and non-leafy vegetables grown in our country. The diversity in the languages increases this confusion even more as each state or region knows a particular vegetable by a unique name! Indian Vegetable Names in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Kannada To simplify this confusion we have presented a table which has the names of the most popular and preferred vegetables of India in the most used languages of the country. Only a few veggies such as basil are known by the same name (Tulsi) in most of the Indian languages. Hence, we have presented a list of Indian Vegetable Names in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu & Kannada. For example, brinjal is known as Baingan in Hindi, Katthirikai in Tamil, Bhadanekai in Kannada, Vankaya in Telugu and Vanga in Marathi.

Whenever we linger in the local markets, we see a wide range of fruits in the display. We think that we have many choices but what we are seeing in the market is just a small percentage of the fruits that are found in the Indian subcontinent. India has been an opulent cultivator of fruits since centuries. While many of these fruits are natively grown, some of them can be found across the world as well. Even today, India is one of the major fruit exporters as there is a great demand for Indian fruits in the foreign market. So what makes India such a blessed country when it comes to the fruits? The diversity of the geography, climate and vast spans of wild forests are mainly responsible for the wide range of fruits in India. Seasonal fruits such as mango, jackfruit, cashew, etc. are special because of their tempting flavors and juiciness. Some of the fruits like lemon and coconut are used for cooking purposes as well. Today, most of these fruits are available throughout the year because of the greenhouses and modern ways of fruit cultivation. Also, fruits like Kela (Banana), Santra (Orange), Seb (Apple), Musambi (Sweet Lime), etc. are available around the year. Tropical fruits like Ananas (Pineapple), Katahal (Jackfruit), Aam (Mango), Tarbuz (Watermelon), etc. are loved and relished by all because of their unique taste and tempting fragrance. Apart from them, Amrud (Guava), Anar (Pomegranate), Nashpati (Pear), Papita (Papaya), Sitaphal (Custard Apple), Angoor (Grapes), etc. are...

Regularly consuming healthy food isn't enough to maintain good health; how we cook these foods also plays a significant role. We often unwittingly sabotage our efforts to eat healthily through our cooking methods. Excessive oils, frying, or overcooking can strip nutrients away and add unnecessary fats. By making mindful choices in how we prepare our meals, we can preserve the natural benefits of the ingredients and support our overall well-being. Many traditional cooking methods, such as deep frying and high-temperature grilling on a grill, can add unhealthy levels of fat to otherwise wholesome meals, while others contribute to nutrient loss. On the other hand, choosing the proper cooking methods can help retain essential nutrients, reduce unhealthy fats, and maximize flavour. This detailed guide discusses 15 healthy cooking methods to try. 1. Use Whole Ingredients, Skip Processed Foods Whole foods are rich in natural nutrients, while processed foods often contain hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, and preservatives that can harm health. Choosing fresh and unprocessed ingredients makes your meals more nutritious. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fresh meats are better than packaged foods. Avoid instant noodles, frozen meals, and processed snacks that contain artificial ingredients. Check food labels for additives like high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, and MSG. For a healthier diet, cook from scratch using fresh produce and natural spices. Instead of store-bought pasta sauces, make your own using tomatoes and herbs. Replace packaged snacks with homemade options like roasted makhana, sprouts, or fruit bowls. These small changes significantly improve...

Yogurt is a delicious and healthy food that people have been enjoying for centuries. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a tangy taste, and it’s a good source of protein along with important nutrients like calcium, vitamins, and probiotics. These beneficial bacteria help keep your body healthy in many ways. Eating yogurt regularly can improve your digestion, boost your immune system, and even help keep your skin glowing. In this blog, we’ll look at some reasons why you should make yogurt a part of your daily diet for better health. What is Yogurt and How is It Made? Yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with beneficial bacteria, mainly Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. To prepare plain yogurt, milk is first heated, then special bacterial cultures are added, and the milk is left to ferment. The Fermentation Process When making yogurt, the above-mentioned helpful bacteria are added to the milk. These bacteria feed on lactose, the natural sugar in milk, and turn it into lactic acid. This causes the milk to thicken and become the creamy texture we love in yogurt. The live bacteria not only help form the texture but also offer health benefits. They support better digestion, boost immunity, and help maintain a healthy balance of bacteria in the gut. The fermentation process also makes yogurt last longer and turns it into a probiotic-rich food that’s great for digestive health. So, it’s the fermentation that turns simple milk into nutritious, gut-friendly yogurt! [caption align="alignnone"...

Cooking is as much about creativity as it is about efficiency. Even the most experienced chefs can benefit from clever hacks, like using a cooling rack, that simplify tasks, reduce waste, and bring out the best ingredients, such as keeping cut avocado halves from browning. Whether prepping for a dinner party or rushing through a weekday meal, these kitchen hacks will elevate your culinary game. Let’s discuss them in detail below. Hack 1: Maximise Citrus Juice Orange juice in a glass Extracting juice from a lemon or lime can be a hassle, especially when you're pressed for time. To get every last drop, microwave your citrus for 10–20 seconds. The heat softens the fruit and breaks down the internal membranes, making it easier to squeeze out all the juice. Alternatively, rolling the lemon or lime firmly on a cutting board can also loosen its insides. Combine this with a splash of lemon juice for marinades or homemade salad dressings. Storing unused citrus halves in a plastic bag can keep them fresh for longer, reducing food waste. Don't forget to use this trick whenever you're at the grocery store picking up supplies for a new recipe. Also read: Indian Lime Recipes.

Indian cuisine, renowned for its aromatic spices and complex flavors, has long been associated with traditional cooking methods. Clay tandoors, seasoned kadais, and the skilled hands of experienced chefs have been the cornerstones of Indian kitchens for centuries. However, a quiet revolution is taking place in restaurant kitchens across India and beyond. At the heart of this culinary transformation is an unexpected hero: the professional rotisserie. This modern equipment is reshaping how chefs approach Indian cuisine, offering new possibilities while honoring time-honored traditions. Impact of Professional Rotisseries on Restaurant Kitchens The Evolution of Indian Restaurant Kitchens The journey of Indian restaurant kitchens is a fascinating tale of tradition meeting innovation. Historically, these kitchens were bustling spaces filled with the sizzle of ingredients hitting hot surfaces and the aroma of spices. This romantic image persisted for generations, with techniques passed down from master to apprentice. The mid-20th century marked the first significant shift with the introduction of gas stoves and electric appliances. These innovations brought a degree of consistency and efficiency to Indian kitchens, but the core cooking methods remained largely unchanged.

Initially met with skepticism, rotisseries slowly gained acceptance as chefs discovered their potential. The turning point came when renowned restaurants started incorporating rotisserie-cooked dishes into their menus, showcasing how this technology could enhance rather than replace traditional methods.

When trying to decide between fruit and fruit juice, we often ask which is the healthier option. Both are delicious and can fit into a balanced diet, but they have key differences. Fruits are full of vitamins, minerals, and fibre, which keep our bodies healthy. In contrast, fruit juices are easy to drink and feel refreshing, but they usually don’t have fibre and might have added sugars. Knowing these differences can help us make better choices for our health. So, let’s talk about something important: fruit vs. fruit juice. Which one is better for a healthy life? Whole Fruits Vs Fruit Juice: Which One Is Healthier? Whole fruits are usually better for your health than fruit juice. This is because they have more fibre, less sugar, and include important nutrients. Though fruit juice is easy to drink, it often cuts the fibre that whole fruits have. This causes your body to absorb sugar faster. Nutritional Value Comparison Let’s take an example of whole orange fruit. Eating a whole orange is very different from drinking orange juice. A regular orange weighs about 140 grams and has 69 calories. In contrast, a typical glass of orange juice is around 248 grams or eight fluid ounces, and it has about 110 calories. Orange (Raw, All Commercial Varieties) Orange Juice (Raw) Energy - 69 kcal Energy - 110 kcal Carbohydrates - 16. 27g Carbohydrates - 25. 79g Sugars - 12. 50 g Sugars - 20. 83g Dietary Fibre - 3. 6g Dietary Fibre - 0. 5g These numbers evidently indicate...

On Sunday morning, I woke to find Hubby making breakfast for me!   Having food made for you when you are the one in the kitchen everyday is quite a luxury. Of course, I knew immediately what he must have been making.   There are only two things he makes on his own these days  and that would be either scrambled eggs or vegetable rice.   As it was nine in the morning, you can guess what he was making.   Indian style scrambled eggs are pretty much responsible for Hubby surviving at college.   He would make himself eggs in the morning and then only ate again once he got home at midnight after a full day of classes and multiple campus jobs.   No wonder he was as skinny as a stick when I first met him. I have to admit, Hubby does make a great batch of scrambled eggs and having breakfast made for me while I was still recovering from Saturday’s sugar coma was a special treat. Indian Scrambled Eggs Scrambled eggs are wonderfully adaptable.   We like them with just a hint of chili and a bit of spice but scrambled eggs in Punjab will set your mouth on fire.   You can make your eggs fluffy and bit more wet if you prefer but Hubby and I like our eggs very dry, or as my Gramma used to say “you like your eggs powder dry”. As vegetarians, eggs are one of our main sources of protein and healthy fats.   My friend Judd, who...

We do.  We go to Bethany Beach with my parents each year, and I have to say, it’s almost become a game, a contest, to see who can bring the best/most junk food.  My mom wins every year.  Hands down.  This year, she brought a tray of homemade cookies.  Needless to say, they didn’t last long with our crew.  Chocolate Chip Cookies, Shortbread Cookies and my absolute favorite cookie: Raisin Honey Chews! The cookie back story?  I’m not really sure there is a backstory!  Here is what I do know.  My mom has been making Raisin Honey Chews since I was, well, since I was a little girl.  My dad and I hold a special place in our hearts for Raisin Honey Chews.  In fact, it’s often a contest to see who can get to them first and who get’s the most cookies!  WE.

Berry Burst Overnight Oats might just be my new breakfast obsession this season. I am constantly on the hunt for new, healthy and tasty breakfast ideas for my family. At heart, I have always been a cereal lover. Here’s the truth: As a kid, I really wanted to love the cool, chocolately, fun, sugar cereals and begged my mom to buy them for me every chance I got, but, could never stomach them beyond the first bite. Thankfully, this did not deter my love of cereal. I am a non-sugar cereal kind of girl; Rice Krispies, Chex and Special K will always have my heart. I’m one of those people that could, and has, eaten cereal for breakfast, lunch and dinner and prefer it with skim milk. 2% milk will suffice if it’s my only choice, but no whole milk for me. To me, whole milk only belongs two places: in my kids’ sippy cup and in Mama’s Mac and Cheese! Easy Berry Burst Overnight Oats As much as I love my non-sugary cereals (ok, ok boring cereals), I am always on the lookout for different options, especially something quick and portable during the week while I’m shuffling kids out the door to school and getting myself off to work on time. One breakfast meal I absolutely love and have been obsessed with for quite some time is my Baked Oatmeal. It’s so versatile with different fruit options. My favorite, of course, is blueberry lemon.

Here I am, it’s Monday night and I’m sitting on my couch, watching the season finale of Bachelorette (you know you watch it too). I should be relaxing, thinking about about all things Bachelorette such as who’s going to be picked, who will get out of the limo first and are they still together. Instead, I’m sitting here on my couch, dreaming of my lunch from the other day: the Deconstructed Burrito Bowl. Yup, it was just that dreamy! You are going to need to get your hands on this little bowl of heaven and get it into your belly now! Deconstructed Burrito Bowl I love the idea of all my favorite foods in one bowl ready for me to eat. Last year, bowl foods really seemed to explode with popularity. Most of the popular rice bowls, made with traditional rice and/or cauliflower rice (another huge trend), revolved around Asian inspired food, such as Poke Bowls. The Deconstructed Burrito Bowl plays on the popularity of bowl foods, but with a Tex Mex flare and all the yumminess of a burrito. Bowl foods are still trending today. The Deconstructed Burrito Bowl brings together all the classic pairings of a burrito: brown rice, black beans, chicken and avocados and transforms them into a bowl. It’s the perfect combination for lunch or dinner. This bowl takes those classic burrito ingredients and turns up the dial on the flavor. I sprinkled the veggies and the chicken with chili powder, ground cumin, a little S&P and...

Every year, at the tail end of August, I am super nostalgic for all things college. Many people wish they could go back and relive certain periods of their childhood. Some people even wish they could re-do high school. Not me! I would go back to college in a heart beat. Of course, to do it all over again properly, I’d need to have the street smarts and know-how I have now... and my hair straightener, of course! But, in all seriousness, I loved college. I went to Towson University in Towson, Maryland. I applied to several schools and heard back with acceptance from Towson very quickly. My parents and I went for a visit and instantaneously, upon arrival, I just knew. I knew it was meant to be. It was like magic. I think, at first, what brought me the most excitement and also the most comfort being away from home, was meeting my college roommate. We had two things in common right off the bat... excitement for this adventure before us and FOOD! After we moved in, set up our room and said good-bye to our parents, we were on the lookout for food; specifically, comfort food.

Here is a question I have for all of you... do you meal plan on Sunday’s?  Do you meal plan at all? Here is another food blogger truth: I do.  I do it for many reasons, but mostly, so that I can send my husband to the grocery store with a complete list of what I need and so that I don’t have to send him back on several follow-up trips throughout the week.  Today I meal planned for this whole week.  We are so busy all week with work, kids, errands and life, that meal planning is essential.  Sound familiar? Tonight we decided to have steak and grilled veggies.  Kind of boring, right? Well, I decided to take the steak up a notch with my Easy and Simple Chimichurri Sauce.

Gardening. Do you love gardening? Are you good at it? What kinds of food and/or flowers do you cultivate? In my head, I am a great gardener. A true green thumb. In reality, I kill pretty much everything I try to grow. From herbs to flowers to food. You name it, everything eventually dies and usually death by no-water occurs before said plant yields anything pretty or of use in my kitchen. My wonderful, patient husband tries to help me. He will plant things around our house, water them and give them lots of TLC. As long as I am not in charge, these plants typically do well... for a good portion of the summer. These days, my Facebook and Instagram feeds are runneth over with pictures and comments of the bountiful gardens of all my friends and acquaintances. While my husband can keep our flower pots alive for most of the summer, neither of us have been very successful in growing fruits or veggies. It’s one of the truly great misfortunes of my culinary life. From tomatoes to peppers to zucchini and squash, you name it, I can’t grow it. Although I admittedly have no gardening skills, I am very blessed living in Lancaster that I am surrounded by farmer’s markets and road-side stands. It’s truly farm-to-table almost every day throughout the summer either at our famous downtown Lancaster Central Market or driving throughout any country backroad in the county. From the best sweet corn to beautiful heirloom tomatoes to amazing zucchini...

It’s been one hell of a week.  A week away from the every day grind. A week away from work, obligations, chores and daycare.  My family and I hit the road last Saturday for Bethany Beach, DE.  Sea Colony to be exact.  The car was packed full to the brim and we hit the road last Saturday with only one thing in our sights: THE BEACH! You know a vacation was a success (and tons of freaking fun) when it goes by in a flash.  Just like that, in the blink of an eye, our vacation came to end this morning... in a flash.  We had such a good time over this past week.  We played in the sand, touched our toes in the ocean, swam like fish in the pool, walked the boardwalk, rode the rides and laughed till it hurt. We were sad to leave this morning, but I was anxious to get home and back into the kitchen.  My pantry was a little light this evening, so I ran to my neighborhood grocery mart, grabbed a few odds and ends and put together a simple, light and healthy dinner: Pesto Linguine with Chicken.   Warm and delicious pesto linguine with tomatoes and seasoned chicken. This dish is so easy, colorful and tastes amazing.  It’s healthy, yet feels like comfort food.  Did I mention that color? I am a visual person.

There are so many things you can do with peaches!  Growing up, my parents had a peach tree in the back yard.  My parents, I’m pretty sure, hated that tree.  But, I loved it, because it meant that my mom would make and freeze several peach pies get us through the long, cold winter season.  Those peach pies were magical in the eyes of a child.  Besides pie, there are still so many things you can do with peaches.  I put peaches in cakes, breads, on pizzas, in baked oatmeal... the possibilities are endless.  Last week, I made and Honey Ricotta and Peach Bruschetta.

So get ready to create delicious, moist, eggless cakes that will have everyone asking for seconds! Eggless Cake Choose the Right Egg Substitute Choosing the proper egg substitute can easily replace eggs in your cake recipes. Several options are available depending on your dietary preferences and needs. One popular egg substitute is applesauce, which adds moisture and helps bind the ingredients together. Another option is mashed bananas, which act as a binder and lend a subtle sweetness to the cake. If you want a more neutral flavour, try using yoghurt or buttermilk as egg replacements. For a richer texture, you can use silken tofu or avocado puree. Finally, you're avoiding all animal products. In that case, you can use flaxseed or chia seed mixed with water as a binding agent. With these egg substitutes, you can still enjoy delicious and fluffy cakes without compromising taste or texture. Use the Right Combination of Leavening Agents To ensure your eggless cakes rise correctly, it's essential to use leavening agents in the right combination.

- Categories: Chicken

The sizzling Guntur Chicken recipe is a popular dish cooked in the Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh. Usually, the dishes of Andhra Pradesh have a royal touch to them thanks to the Nizams and Mughals who ruled the region for centuries. However, this is a typical desi chicken dish which might have originated from the kitchens of local farmers who grew rice in their fields and had to pair it up with something delicious and spicy. The chicken stew is prepared by adding freshly ground spices along with the tender chicken pieces. It gets a spicy hot flavor from the red chilies that are specially grown in the region. Guntur chicken can be cooked either in curry style or the excess stew can be dried up to prepare dry masala chicken. Ingredients like coriander powder, cinnamon sticks, cardamom, cumin, and peppercorn are used for preparing the garam masala while whole spices such as bay leaves, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon sticks are used to add spicy flavor to the dish. The residents of Guntur and surrounding regions are habitual of eating hot cuisines that can release spicy fumes from your ears especially if you are a North Indian. Therefore, you can cut down the number of red chilies in the recipe or add a little bit of jaggery to give it a slightly sweet flavor. Ginger garlic paste, turmeric, and red chili powder are used to marinate the chicken pieces at least a couple of hours in the refrigerator before cooking... .

Food has long been used to connect cultures, foster understanding and celebrate diversity. For many people living in India, cuisine is integral to their identity and culture. This article will explore what differentiates Pakistani food from North Indian food – two distinct cuisines that have similarities yet remain unique in their own right. At first glance, these two types of food may seem similar due to common ingredients such as ginger, garlic, cumin and coriander; however, subtle differences set them apart.

- Categories: Food Guide

Indian culture is deeply rooted in traditions and customs passed down for centuries. One of the unique aspects of Indian culture is fasting, which has profoundly influenced food choices and preparation throughout the years. From religious observances to physical health benefits, fasting plays a vital role in Indian life. In this article, we'll explore the significance of fasting in Indian culture and how it shapes food choices and preparation. Fasting isn't just practiced during special occasions or festivals but also as part of daily routine. Fasting can be done for spiritual reasons, such as honoring a deity or seeking forgiveness from God. Still, many people fast for health reasons too. It's believed that abstaining from certain foods helps cleanse the body, boost immunity, and eliminate toxins. Whatever their motivation, Indians take great pride in observing these rituals with discipline and devotion. Food choices vary greatly depending on which type of fast someone chooses - partial or complete abstinence from specific foods is common practice when fasting. Traditional meals tend to include simple dishes like khichdi (a dish made with rice), dal (lentil curry), roti (flat bread), and other vegetarian items that are lighter on digestion than meat-based dishes. This reflects the importance placed upon preserving energy while fasting so one can focus more intently on worship or purification practices instead of being bogged down by heavier meals. Definition Of Fasting Fasting is like a cloak of spiritual protection draped over Indian culture. It is defined as voluntary abstaining from food...

Have you ever wondered what the origin of butter chicken, a popular dish that tantalizes taste buds worldwide, is? Butter chicken has become an iconic culinary delight for many cultures, but its history has yet to be widely known. From India to Thailand and beyond, it's now enjoyed everywhere! So how did this tasty dish come into existence? The exact origins of butter chicken are unknown. However, most sources trace it back to 1947 in Delhi, India. It was created by Kundan Lal Gujral, who ran a restaurant called Moti Mahal Delux at the time. The story goes that one night his cooks had some leftover tandoori chicken and decided to experiment with adding tomato-based gravy and cream.

Regardless of these alterations over the years, one thing remains true: butter chicken continues to be an incredibly delicious treat no matter where you travel. In this article, we will explore further how this beloved dish came into being and look at some interesting facts about its past.

Food has been the most potent tool to bind cultures together throughout history. It is no wonder many countries have adopted recipes and cooking styles from other nations, creating unique cuisines. India is a perfect example of this phenomenon, as British colonization heavily influenced its cuisine during the 19th century. Introducing British ingredients into Indian dishes opened up a world of culinary possibilities. Spices such as saffron and cardamom were combined with traditional British herbs like rosemary, bay leaf, and thyme to create new flavorful combinations. The combination of spices created a unique flavour profile for Indian food that would eventually become synonymous with its culture. In addition to introducing new flavours, the British also popularized certain dishes in India that had not previously existed there. Many popular curries today are adaptations of English classics; for instance, Chicken Tikka Masala is based on chicken tikka, which originated in Britain but now enjoys immense popularity in India. Whether it's through influencing existing recipes or creating entirely new ones, it is clear that Britain played a significant role in shaping Indian cuisine into what we know today. Overview Of Indian Cuisine Indian cuisine is a rich and diverse culinary tradition. Its many regional cultures, climates, religious beliefs, and political influences have shaped it over centuries. From North to South India, each region has developed unique recipes that reflect the local ingredients, tastes and cooking techniques of those who live there.

Celebrated in the month of Chingam – the beginning of Malayalam calendar, Onam is a harvest festival and one of the biggest celebrations of God’s own country – Kerala. Onam festivities last for a span of ten days and are marked with great enthusiasm and fervour across the state. This year, as we get ready to usher in the festival on September 13, 2016, let’s take a trip down the history to find what the festival symbolises, its legend, and how best to celebrate it. The Legend of Onam Popular legend goes that famous demon king Mahabali visits the state of Kerala each year at the beginning of the Malayalam calendar and the festival of Onam is held to mark his visit. The era of Mahabali’s reign was a golden one for the state with prosperity and happiness all around. King Mahabali was genereous and giving but had one shortcoming and that was his egoistic nature. Threatened by his growing popularity, the devas/gods encashed this weakness in Mahabali's character to put an end to his reign. Defeated, Mahabali asked the gods to grant him the ability to annually visit his people whom he loves so much as a last wish and the gods obliged. Onam Celebrations The 10 days of Onam are when the rich cultural heritage of Kerala is displayed at its best to visitors and natives. The highlights of celebrations include: Onasadya: A grand vegetarian nine course meal prepared on the day of Thiruonam, and served on a...

Creamy Alfredo Chicken Pasta, as the name suggests, is a pasta served with chicken cooked in smooth, buttery white sauce, known as the Alfredo sauce. Pasta lovers across the world have a special place in their hearts and tummies for the Alfredo which is made from butter and parmesan cheese. Locally, this dish is known as Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Originating from Italy, this super simple sauce forms the base for not just pasta, but many other dishes world over. While the original Alfredo calls for only two ingredients, over time, this has changed. In our dish today, we create the creamy base using flour, butter, milk and Parmesan cheese. Parmesan is a variety of hard cheese that has a very unique nutty taste. Just a small amount imparts a lot of flavour. However, unlike the West, in India, this cheese is hard to get and quite expensive. Which is why its flavour is such a blessing as a small amount goes a long way. For the modern pasta lover, any type of pasta would suffice to make this dish. But for the sticklers, it's best to use the Fettucine or flat noodle pasta. If you are unable to find Parmesan, don't fret, you can still make this recipe using Cheddar cheese. You may have to slightly double the quantity used. So, just grab some chicken, your favourite pasta, butter, flour, milk and you are all set to make the irresistible Creamy Alfredo Chicken Pasta. Creamy Alfredo...

Mupparuppu Payasam in Tamil literally translates to 3 Dal Payasam/Kheer. Dals or paruppu are a quintessential ingredient in the Indian cuisine. So much that it is not just a savoury in terms of Lentil soups/stew or curries eaten along with rice and roti, but has also carved itself into an essential ingredient for snacks and sweets. It is virtually impossible to think of most snacks without the dals, especially Chana dal flour or besan/kadale maavu/kadale hittu as it is locally known.  One of the earliest mentions of dals has been in the texts from the Indus Valley Civilization. It was during the Mughal era that various types of dals emerged, became popular and a few prepared especially for royalty. Over a period of time, royal chefs and home cooks began incorporating the dal into desserts in the form of payasam/ kheer and other burfis and laddus. Dal based kheers are traditionally made with coconut and jaggery or gur which is unrefined cane sugar extract that contains many minerals and iron which is lacking in the new-age white or refined sugar. Yellow Moong dal or the split Green gram is the most common variety used to make kheer that is very popular across all the four Southern states. In this recipe, we give the traditional dish a twist by combining the flavours of two other popular dals - Chana Dal/ kadalai paruppu and Tur/arhar/pigeon dal, hence the name Mupparuppu Payasam or 3-Dals. Pongal or Sankrati season is the best time to make this  creamy, thick...

Carrot Halwa,  also known as Gajar ka halwa, Gajrela or Gajar Pak, is a slow cooked traditional dessert made on almost all occasions. In fact, it is so simple and delicious to make that one doesn't require a celebration to make it. Unlike many other sweet delicacies that require an intricate recipe and method, this dish is so simple that it is impossible to go wrong. The original halwa, not surprisingly originated from the Mughal era,  is made using Delhi Carrot (red carrots) that are available aplenty during winter. This variety is the more flavourful one. However, the dessert can also be made with regular carrots. When you delve into the dish's history, you would realize that the main ingredients were always high-fat milk, sugar, cardamon, saffron and nuts for garnishing. But over time, just like everything else, this too has evolved with many chefs creating their own variants. The most popular one is with crumbled Khoya. Adding Khoya to the dish, enhances and elevates the taste to a different level altogether. The procedure required one to grate carrots with a grater or food processor. Saute it first with ghee and then add milk and allowing it to cook in the liquid at low heat. Upon thickening ghee is added once more to intensify the flavour and it is garnished with chopped nuts. It tastes heavenly when served old. Serving styles have changed over time and this carrot halwa, popular at weddings, is served hot with ice cream - the combination...

Mangalore Idli, is a delicacy from the rich food land of Udupi, Mangalore.  Udupi, famous for its Krishna Temple, has for long been notable for its lip smacking cuisine. This region specializes in "saatvik" style of cooking that excludes lots of underground vegetables, spices and meat. Like any other idli, most of the ingredients remain the same for Mangalore Idli too. However, what sets it apart is the way it is made. The locals use a leaf from the Palm tree or Pandan leaf to make a mould for the idli which is cylindrical in shape. The art of making this mould is quite exquisite, but slowly losing its prominence due to the time consuming factor. Due to the shape of this idli, it is also commonly called Kotte Kadubu / Moode in Kannada/ Tulu.  The leaf is what imparts the idlis its special flavour, aroma and shape. Practically speaking, using a leaf as a mould is a great idea as it reduces the vessels for washing and the leaves can just be thrown away. If you don't have a Pandan leaf on hand, we'll make do with what's best and easily available - banana leaf or jackfruit leaves can be used as substitutes. Serve this with any spicy gravy and you are good to go. Go on, try out our recipe for making Mangalore Idli or "Moode" at home and let us know how it turned out!

Chena Mezhkkupuratti is a popular Kerala style stir fry recipe of Elephant Yam. Elephant Yam goes by many names like Chena in Kerala, Senai Kezhungu or Senai in Tamil Nadu and Suran across other parts of the country. This not-so-fashionable, wildly grown tuber, has not yet gained the popularity in the culinary world like the more fashionable tuber - sweet potato. In India, the humble tuber signifies abundance. During the olden days, in many parts of the country, this tuber would grow easily, without much maintenance and would be a rich source of carbohydrates and a few important minerals that would compensate for meals during seasons of no or minimal harvest. In some instances, this tuber would act like a meat substitute, especially when meat would be more expensive or difficult to procure. In certain tribes of Africa, the largest tuber is usually handed over to the chieftain, thus reiterating its significance with abundance. Chena or Yam is usually boiled well and treated with a barrage of spices when cooked to rid it of alkaloids or allergen properties that cause itching and swelling when consumed raw. Popular ways of cooking the yam are making it a stir fry, roasted or fried with spices, making it into a curry/kadhi or converting it into kebabs.

- Categories: Rasam

Mysore Rasam is similar to the other types of rasams that are a part of the South Indian cuisines. However, it also differs from the regular rasam recipes in many ways. For example, in this rasam, you will have to use lentils and freshly grated coconut whereas most of the other rasams use grated copra. You can use the grated copra in this recipe as well but Mysore Rasam tastes the best when fresh coconut is used. You can not only have it with plain or jeera rice but it can also be consumed as a soup due to its appetizing properties. If you happen to visit a hotel in Mysore you might also be served with this rasam as a complimentary appetizer. This rasam is not only popular in Mysore but is loved across Karnataka and surrounding states as well. Therefore, you must try this recipe to treat your family with a surprise dish. Mysore Rasam is also light and watery like any other rasam but it is slightly thicker than your regular rasams. As a result, people who do not like the texture and taste of watery rasams can also try this recipe out! You can also have the Rasam with regular dosa, masala dosa or with idlis. Some people also like to add a little jaggery to this rasam but the use of jaggery is completely optional. However, jaggery balances out its spiciness quite well and also appends a slightly sweet flavor to the rasam. You also...

Koftas are the balls that can be made from paneer, potatoes, gourd, and other vegetables as well. They are usually prepared while making the dishes like Mughal Malai Kofta and regular Malai Kofta. Malai Kofta is a rich blend of a few selected spices and cream. Meat koftas are also quite popular in many countries but in India, the vegetarian koftas are more renowned than the non-vegetarian ones. While making Malai Kofta, one has to ensure that extra red chili powder or chopped green chilies are not added since Malai Kofta is a fine mixture of only aromatic spices and cream. Some people refrain from using the chili powder or chopped chilies completely and that is the best way to make Malai Koftas. The creamy and saucy koftas taste delicious and prove to be a splendid main course recipe for any special occasion or festival. The tanginess from tomatoes and the slightly sweet taste imparted by the onions give a balanced and rich taste to this recipe. You can have it roti, paratha or naan and also with plain or jeera rice. However, Malai Kofta complements plain rice more since it already contains flavors of spices and herbs. The recipe shared here is a simple one but you can also add cashew nuts and raisins to make this recipe more royal. However, make sure to add a little less curd or cream while adding cashews as cashews themselves make the gravy creamy. You can present this dish by garnishing it...

Dry flours are required to prepare various dishes and preparations in Indian cuisine. We see a flour mill or shop in every nook and corner across India. Their main purpose is to provide convenience to the people who are unable to grind grains on their own. Different types of grains such as rice, wheat, pearl millets, maize, sorghum, lentils, soya bean seeds, etc. are grounded into a fine powder for making various dishes like idli, dosas, roti, naan, puri and a variety of other dishes as well. You can also purchase a heavy duty mixer-grinder to get the job done in your home itself but it can be quite a tedious and long process especially when you want to grind large quantities of grains at once. However, the blades might tend to get damaged if you use the mixer-grinders frequently for grinding grains. One method to make this task effortless is to roast the grains before grinding them. This will not only make the process smoother by draining out the moisture content of the grains but will also ensure that the blades of your mixer-grinder sustain for a longer period. However, oil or any other lubricant should not be used in this case as your goal is to grind the grains dry. Also, you must avoid coloring of the grains by roasting them more than required. If you grinding wheat, you can add soya bean or other seeds that are high in protein to improve the nutritional value of the...

Nowadays, electric mixers and grinders are used to make this batter. However, our grandmothers used to grind the ingredients using a stone grinder.

These shops are ideal for the people who cannot afford to invest time in making batter due to jobs or some other work. Here are some smart tips that you can implement while making batters: Ensure that all the ingredients are perfectly soaked before you grind them.

- Categories: Masala Powders

India is well-known as a “country of spices” since ancient times. However, the history of Garam Masala powder – a blend of different kinds of spices also dates back centuries ago when people realized that ground spices offer a better taste and texture to the food. There are no clear citations of the historical facts about garam masala in any of ancient texts but the practice of mixing finely powdered spices is believed to be followed since the period of Islamic rulers. The garam masala powder varies according to the region and personal taste preference. Initially, these spices were prepared by the women (especially grandmothers) of the house manually with the help of a vessel and a grinding instrument. However, with time, more machines were developed which were operated mechanically with some physical effort. Today, advanced machines are used for grinding coarse spices into a fine powder so that all the ingredients get uniformly combined. However, people still prefer the homemade mixture of spices (masala) because it is fresh and adds a distinct flavor and aroma to their dishes. The factory made spice powders are usually of lackluster quality. They are normally added at the end to increase the spice quotient whereas homemade masala can be added anytime to enrich the flavor of the cooked food. Sometimes people get confused with garam masala and curry masala. Garam masala is made only from whole spices whereas curry masala can have turmeric powder, red chili powder, and some other flavoring ingredients. White/Black...

The history of herbs can be traced way back to the ancient Indian, Egyptian, Chinese and Roman civilizations when people used them for treating various diseases. Today, scientists are studying the medicinal properties of various herbs which are predominantly found in the wild. Usually, the herbs do not have any negative side effects but for that one herb must be used at a time for a particular disease. The scientific name of onion is Allium cepa. Both onion and garlic belong to the same family, the Allium family. Onion is one of the oldest herbs which are being cultivated and used by mankind. It is mainly grown in the tropical countries. The other names of onion are piyaz in Hindi and Bengali, kando in Gujarati, eerulli in Kannada, gandah in Kashmiri, ulli in Malayalam, kanda in Marathi, piaja in Oriya, ganda in Punjabi, vengayam in Tamil, and yerra gaddaly in Telugu. Onion has a strong odor and pungent taste. It contains essential oils and organic sulfides. The principal chemical constituent in onion is allyl propyl disulfide, a sulphide containing volatile oil which gives it a sharp taste and pungent odor. This volatile oil is the main reason behind eye irritation and tears caused while cutting an onion. If an uncooked onion is eaten the volatile oil is excreted through the lungs and saliva which gives a characteristic foul odor to the breath. This does not happen if the cooked onion is eaten as the oil evaporates when exposed to heat... .

Cheese corn balls are a combination of unique flavors of cheese and corn. A sumptuous cheese cornball is the one which is crunchy from outside but soft and creamy from the inside. You can either fry the cheese corn balls or bake them as per your wish. Fried ones are crunchier whereas baked ones are luscious and spongy. Health conscious people tend to devour the baked ones as there is no oil content in it. Cheese corn balls can be made with sweet corns or the Indian corns which are not that sweet. Moreover, you can either steam smashed or pureed corns or cook them whole as it depends on the choice of your taste buds. They are usually served with tomato sauce, mint or coriander chutney and kids will love to munch into them! There are several ways to prepare the stuffing of the cheese corn balls.

Pepper, coriander leaves and chili flakes add the distinct aroma of spiciness to the recipe whereas some people also like to add chopped green chilies instead of chili flakes. You can also add an herb called oregano to impart a delectable flavor to the dish. Butter can be used instead of potatoes but ensure that you use less salt whenever you use butter because butter already has a good proportion of salt in it... .

Do you want to know how important it is to stay hydrated? Well, then let us walk you through a little scientific detailing. All human body parts are made up of some percent of water. According to H. H. Mitchell, a human heart and brain is made up of 73% of water, our skin holds 64% of water, while our lungs has 83% of water, our muscles and kidneys are composed of 79% of water and it can be little surprising to you when we say even our bones are 31% watery. That is quite an amount of water, is not it? Yeah, that is the significance of water in a human body. This is why fitness coaches and dietitians put a lot of stress on drinking adequate amount of water every day. The amount of water that a human being requisite depends heavily on the climatic conditions, the rate of dehydration of the individual, and the intensity of their work out that they follow. However, in a study it is found that an adult human being should drink 2 liters of water per day to regulate the body temperature and to ensure the proper functioning of different systems in the body. Significance of staying Hydrated: The nutrients that our cells require for optimal functioning of the body are shipped through the fluids present in our body. Besides transporting nutrients and keeping our body under stable functioning, liquids also play a pivotal role in enhancing our cognitive ability, in keeping...

Mexican cuisine has several parallels to our Indian food. For instance, black beans is quite common there as is Rajma in India. So, it's not surprising if their fried rice tastes very similar to ours, sans a few ingredient changes here and there. That's how I look at this recipe of Mexican Chilli Rice. Like us, the Mexicans don't shy away from spice, the real thing. In fact, the very name of the dish should be conveying this message. Being a land of so many (nearly 150) chilli varieties, this shouldn't be a surprising fact. However, unlike the rest of the world, that used chillies for heat, this nation, dubbed as the "Mother of Chillies", uses it more as a flavouring agent. Maybe this is also the only place where you will see people referring to a chilli flavour for its sweetness. Coming back to our recipe that's inspired by the American Chilli Nation, this mixed vegetable rice a. k. a. Mexican Chilli Rice is quite spicy and lightly saucy from the use of tomato sauce, which is not something that we use for our Indian version. It's not Mexican until it has some beans in it. However, the version I made here, does not have beans or rajma as I had ran out of stock. Feel free to add your rajma to make this all the more interesting. However, do remember, the Rajma needs to be soaked for a good 12-15 hours and cooked well to get it soft. If you...

There is a reason why certain fruits are seasonal and show up only during the hot summery days. While watermelon is the most likely fruit to pop into our mind, pineapple is not far behind. Likewise, in India, Lassi is another way to cool down and allow the body some respite from the heat. What if both these blessings are clubbed together to make a super whopper called Pineapple Lassi? Pineapple is a heady fruit with a divine aroma. Prickly on the outside, a ripe fruit contains tons of Vitamins C & A alongside antioxidants. Rich in fibre, great for the skin and appetite, the fruit is so versatile that it is used in many different ways - to the extent where the outer shell is also creatively used as a make-shift jar for some cool mojitos. Try out this fruit as jams or in cakes and as a salsa dip. Lassi is a popular Indian drink made from Yoghurt or dahi, rich in vitamin C and pro-biotics and a perfect concoction to beat the heat. Mixing a fresh fruit makes this drink all the more creative and avoids the addition of extra sugars which doesn't help the body in any way. Add 1 tsp of curd/yoghurt to a pot of warm milk and leave it overnight. Refrigerate it until ready for use. Alternatively, if you don't have curd, add some live cultures of bacteria (lactobacillus) that will ferment the milk & convert it into gut-friendly probiotic curd. Use this...

Kancheepuram Idli is a well known variety of Idli from the silk town of Kanchipuram. Our Millet Kanchipuram Idli recipe uses millets instead of regular rice, hence, upping the health quotient. Kacnhipuram Idli is very different in taste from the regular idli. Served as prasadam in the auspicious Varadaraja Perumal temple in Kanchipuram, the idli is traditionally made using mandharai leaves or banana leaves. Spiced with peppercorns, jeera and asafotida, this takes care of the digestion as they are slightly denser and heavier than the regular idli. Substituting Millets (Varagu Arisi) for rice makes this Millet Kanchipuram Idli a healthier version. It is higher in whole grains, fibre and micro nutrients and best served with spicy tomato chutney or Idli podi. Any other chutney or sambar will also do. If you don't have the aforesaid leaves, you can use the regular idli plates or ever small sized tumblers as mould. An alternate way is to spread the batter on a plate and steam cook it, resembling the Dhokla. To get soft and fluffy batter, grind the Urad Dal and Varagu Arisi separately. Let us know how it turned out & in the meantime, do enjoy the Millet Kanchipuram Idli for a hearty breakfast or dinner.

Adai is a healthy South Indian Breakfast dish made with rice and a few varieties of dals/ lentils or millets. The ingredients are soaked and ground to a batter.  This Millet Adai is a combination of Little Millet (Samai), Foxtail Millet (thinai), Barnyard Millet (kutharavalli). Samai Arisi or Little Millet  is the healthy alternative for the regular rice as a meal. Higher in fibre and complex carbs, it is good for managing blood sugar levels. Foxtail millet also called as Thinai in Tamil is also a good source of complex carbs and a substitute for regular, processed rice.

Everybody loves cake, including me! I love to have my tea or coffee with something sweet, and this Pista Coffee Cake is such a lovely treat to have with a cup of tea or coffee. Raw, unsalted pistachios add a gleam of colour and complementary flavor to the crumb. Coffee cakes were cakes traditionally made as a sweet accompaniment with tea or coffee as part of the British and American cuisine. As time and creativity evolved, Coffee cake also referred to cakes that were made with an infusion of coffee. The cake is moist, flavorful and not too sweet. The rich aroma of coffee along with the spattering of nuts that sandwiches a coffee flavoured filling and finally dusted with powdered sugar, sounds oh! just so heavenly. The choice of nuts in many instances is Walnuts. However, in our recipe here, we have experimented with Pistachios. The benefits of pistachios don't just end with their creamy texture and rich taste.

A perfect balance of all flavours and aroma that enhances with time - indicating that it's best eaten cold. For representative purpose only When you follow Keto or a Paleo diet, you tend to become creative and look at food in terms of how healthy they are and how they can fill you up instead of calling them out as breakfast, lunch, salad or dessert ingredients.

That's when something as creative as this is a pleasant & welcoming surprise.

No dish is complete without the quintessential additions of Parmesan and Olive oil. A basic risotto is made with butter, stock water, risotto rice, onions and finished off with generous shavings of Parmesan cheese and olive oil. For us Indians, at the first glance, one may think this is another "khichidi" type of rice based dish. But no, that's where the difference lies. The rice used for risotto is a very different - it's short grained and highly starchy varieties like Arborio, Carnaroli, . Maretelli, etc. The rice is also not washed before cooking as it reduces the amount of starchiness of the dish. Saffron used to be one of the main flavouring agents in the earlier days of risotto. Mushroom Risotto is a highly flavourful dish to start your risotto journey with and is quite easy to make. All you need is just a bit of patience and voila, a bowl full of buttery heaven awaits!

Paella is a traditional dish from Valencia, Spain. Being a local cuisine, it is most made with sea food that popularly includes shrimps and mussels. In our recipe, we will explore the Vegetarian Paella. Paella, a Venecian word, is derived from paelle, an Old French word referring to pan. It is regarded as the national dish of Spain. A rice based dish, very similar to the Indian/Middle Eastern Pilaf (Pulao), Paellas are popularly made with meat (chicken, rabbit or sometimes duck) or seafood (mussels, shrimps). Saffron is a predominant spice used for seasoning. However, there are 2 major differences between the Paella and the Pulao/Pilaf. The rice used in Paella is usually short and round (called Bomba Rice) and some versions include a sticker variety, unlike the Pilaf that used long grained rice versions. The other major difference is that the rice is not braised in oil. The vegetarian paella is called paella de verduras (vegetables) in Spanish and is a hearty meal loaded with lots of vegetables. A beautiful party-worthy, one-pot dish that is gluten-free, nut-free and 100% vegan. You can use any vegetable you want in this dish. Cooking this includes a stove-top method and well as baking - both of these modern versions. The traditional ones were cooked over direct fire. When it comes to the utensils, you have two options: a Paella pan (Paelleras) or a vessel similar to a Dutch Oven that has a tight fitting lid and a heavy bottom. In this Vegetarian Paella recipe, we will use...

Narthangai Rasam is made from the citrus fruit Citron (English). Citrons are one the earliest fruits among the citric group and the unripe ones are referred to as Narthangai in Tamil. High in Vitamin C, this fruit is highly popular in the Southern parts of India, especially Tamil Nadu. They are usually converted to preserves - either as a spicy pickle or a just dried salted pieces. A traditional Tamilian will vouch for the combination of curd rice (thayir sadam) and Citron pickle or preserve (narthangai oorugai). For reference purpose only I remember, when I was young, the dried salted pieces were a staple in our family kitchen. They would usually be stored in jaadi (ceramic jars), especially made to store pickles and preserves. As kids, we would always visit our grandmoms on holidays and gorge ourselves on food & then post meal, suck on the narthangai piece to stave away indigestion, acidity or just to refresh the mouth. Not just this, the meal would also have narthangai rasam or sometimes lemon rasam. A major difference between the citrus based rasam and any others is the amount of boiling time and when the juice is added. Citus juices should never be boiled or they turn bitter. These sour and highly flavourful juices have to be added at then end, after the flame is turned off. So go on, get ready to make another one of grandma's dishes.

Paneer Khurchan is a typical dhaba style recipe that is a standard feature in all the Punjabi style dhabas. In the typical Punjabi style, the main feature of this dish is Paneer, sauteed with capsicum and cooked in a tomato based gravy. "Khurchan", originates from Hindi, meaning - scraping. In the earlier days, the gravy & milk remains used to be scraped out from the bottom of the vessels and made into a dish. Over time, this technique has evolved into including pieces of tandoori chicken or paneer into a tomato based gravy, where the gravy is cooked for a long time and is almost scanty. An extremely fragrant dish, courtesy of the various spices like jeera (cumin), Dhania (coriander), Aamchur (dry mango), garam masala and ginger, this dish makes a great accompaniment to phulkas, chapatis, naan and even a mildly flavoured rice like pulao. There are different variants of the dish ranging from gravy to semi gravy and dry. The quantity of the gravy can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of onions and tomatoes. One of the important things to consider when making this dish is to have a heavy bottomed kadhai or pan. Else, there could be a risk of burning the paneer & base gravy while cooking. You can make it quite colourful by adding the different coloured peppers while cooking. Punjabi cuisine is not all about chicken or paneer, there are some traditional ones too that are lip smacking.

Ragi Paniyaram or Ragi Kuzhi Paniyaram are small idli like spheres made with the combination of Ragi and dosa batter. Ragi, otherwise also known as Finger Millet, Kezhveragu (Tamil), Naachini (Marathi) is a lesser popular millet, but a powerhouse of nutrition - especially calcium and iron. Traditionally, in many homes, Ragi has been favoured even higher than rice when it comes to infant and toddler nutrition simply because of the powerful tags it comes packed with - gluten free, high protein, high iron & calcium and its flour is whole grain, which means, it is milled along with the bran that contains fibre. On its own, it is quite bland but has a hint of earthy taste to it. It makes a great meal on its own - ask your grandmas about Ragi Kazhi or Koozhu and they will have a satisfied grin on their face, just thinking about it. It is quite versatile and can be combined with many other ingredients for various recipes. Ragi Roti makes a great alternative to wheat Roti. Kuzhi Paniyaram or idli fritters (a recently coined fancy name) is similar to idli, but lightly pan-fried and made with a special vessel. It is a popular dish for breakfast. Sometimes the sweet kuzhi paniyaram is also a handy snack. To this, we decided to add Ragi for a variation that is different from routine. The result: a Fantastic Ragi Paniyaram! Fermented, and mildly crispy spongy balls, with a slightly soured taste that is balanced by the...

Keto Broccoli cutlet is a healthy meal in itself. One of the most common woes of a Keto/ Paleo lifestyle is the lack in variety. Happily, many regular recipes just need a bit of tweaking to "ketofy" them. It's just a matter of innovation and patience & viola a keto-fied meal is ready. Typically, as in many cutlets or tikkis, the binding agent used is bread, corn flour or potatoes - all of which are banned in the low carb lifestyle. So what do you use. There are quite a few options like tapioca starch or arrow root powder, almond flour or groundnut flour (I sometimes used the last two). Another common option is "Cheese". Yes, cheese is definitely a binder and helps maintain the shape of this Keto Broccoli Cutlet. However, only certain cheeses like Cheddar or a similar hard cheese will do. Soft cheeses like processed cheese or mozzarella won't work at all. Also, cheese gives you a good dose of protein and healthy fats along with calcium (50g of Cheddar cheese contains 11g of protein & 11g of fats). Why Broccoli? Broccoli is an amazing vegetable and is a powerhouse of nutrition. Each 100g contains a decent amount of protein, fibre and loads of other micro nutrients. This is an easy and fun way to take in the vegetable if one doesn't like a whole floret or when it gets mixed in any other form. Keto Broccoli Cutlet can be a whole meal in itself because of...

Keto Chocolate Muffin is a heaven send for those of us following the Keto or a low carb diet. Followers of this diet avoid grains in all forms and hence any item made with regular flour or any other grain flour for that matter is completely out of question. This is where culinary genius comes into play. For all the gluten free and low carbohydrates lovers out there, the best flour for you is Almond Flour. By adding a couple of ingredients like eggs, it's very easy to make almond flour behave similarly to wheat or gluten based flour. Moreover, as sugar and other sweet substances like jaggery, palm or coconut sugar are also out of consideration, because of their high carbohydrate and glycemic index levels, we use natural sweeteners like Stevia or Erythritol (which is an extract from fruits), that contain zero calories and do not pose any danger to insulin levels. I've made this Keto Chocolate muffin using almond flour as a base along with another critical element - Psyllium Husk - a naturally occurring fibre that is excellent for digestion and also provides the spongy texture to this muffin. The outcome is just so brilliant that even non-keto folks were unable to tell the difference in taste. The best part is that this muffin is also well suited for a diabetic person.  So, without much jabber, let's directly go to the recipe.

A dish originating from 19th century Russia, Chicken Stroganoff was made with simple ingredients of chicken and sour cream, sometimes accompanied with mushrooms. Stroganoff, named after the Russian Elites Stroganov, is usually made with Beef. But in countries like ours where Chicken is the most preferred protein, it is easier to make this dish using this ingredient. You can also check out our Beef version in this link here.   The original stroganoff was made using simple ingredients available during the harsh Russian winters. What we have here is a restaurant style, eclectic dish, that will spruce up some boring night meals. In this Chicken Stroganoff Supreme recipe, we have used a demi glace sauce, which is nothing but chicken or beef stock reduced to half, filtered and mixed with a bit of wine. If you don't have one on hand, you can always make a substitute with Chicken/beef stock, reduced to half & mix a spoon on arrow root powder or corn starch to make it thicken, while stirring continuously.

Traditionally made with flour and jaggery/gud and the quintessential Ghee, Thekua though high in calories is delicious and travel friendly. The best part of this local biscuit is that it stays good for days without any preservatives. Initially soft after frying, it hardens and becomes crunchy after it cools down. This can be a great snack for kids as well and easy to whip it up as the ingredients are readily available in our own pantries. The trick to making Thekua is in the dough consistency. It has to be slightly hard and shouldn't be allowed to soften. Softening reduces crispiness and makes it poori like. A few other spices like saunf is also added to enhance Thekua's flavour and aroma. If you want to avoid using too much jaggery or sugar, you can add dry fruits like khajur (dates) or kismis (raisins) or black currents. In our recipe here, we have used Jaggery and whole wheat flour to bring in some extra goodness. If you don't have jaggery, feel free to use regular sugar. So, try out our Thekua recipe and let us know your experience... .

Kootu is a specialized stew from Tamil Nadu that incorporates almost any vegetable and includes dal and fresh kootu powder. The Ezhukari Kootu is a fine way to include the goodness of multiple vegetables into our diet. While the kootu is rich in itself, a dollop of ghee is never far behind and enhances it taste. In many ways, the art of cooking is therapeutic in itself. Kootu is one such heavenly dish with subtly being its middle name. Subtle spices, mild aroma of the spices and a hint of coconut, all enhanced with a dollop of ghee when served. The Ezhukari kootu is best served with hot pongal, plain rice or Thiruvathirai Kali.

Kullakar Rice Salad is a dish made from a native grain. Kullakar rice or Red Rice is an ancient grain and an indigenous rice variety native to our country, India. This Red Rice variety is naturally pest resistant, has a short growing period and hence contains less pollutants and can be grown through the year. There are many red rice varieties grown in our country and Kullakar is just one of them - short grained and rich in fibre, magnesium and calcium. Unlike the white rice, this rice variety is not stripped off its natural goodness and has a higher quantity of fibre and other micro nutrients like zinc. When the white rice gained popularity, these types or rice lost favour among consumers. Thankfully, with increased awareness and understanding of the medicinal properties associated with this grain, Kullakar rice, along with a few other traditional grains is growing back in favour among the informed rice eaters. When one thinks of rice, it is usually consumed steamed along with a side of sambar and vegetables. In this recipe of Kullakar Rice salad, we mix this rice with other sprouted grains to make it a complete meal on its own or as a starter to a meal. This salad is very versatile. You can also include your choice of proteins in the form of paneer, chick peas or even meat for that matter.

Dried Meat Chutney is a unique recipe made from dried meat. The meat can range from beef and pork to the meat of reindeer, yak, antelope, etc. depending on the region where the meat is being made.

Made from moong dal, wheat flour, sugar and ghee, it is a distance cousin of the Moong Dal Halwa which is the North Indian favourite. As in any Indian dessert, the amount of ghee makes a whole world of difference in taste and texture. Hence the more the ghee, the merrier it is.

The recommended fat consumption per day for an adult stands at approx. 40-50g.

- Categories: Food Guide

Have you ever thought about pairing your everyday meals with the right drinks? What an interesting idea, isn’t it? While most people often make the mistake of thinking they can “Drink whatever is available without bothering about the rules", sometimes just the right combination of food with drinks is capable of lifting an average dining experience to the likes of fine dining! Imagine you have your favorite Cabernet (red wine grape variety) chilling in the fridge. Mmmm... fantastic! Now decide whether you should drink it tonight when you're having fried chicken or else the night you're planning to have sushi? Odds are one combination will make you feel and say “WOW! ”, while the other might feel a wee bit out of place. If you take your food and its palatability seriously, here are a few winning combinations of food and drink you must try. Method one is contrasting: Select drinks that contrast the flavors in your food. Keep in mind that too much contrast could overpower one element over the other, whereas, just a tiny bit of contrast could bring out the good things in both. (Imagine adding a squeeze of lemon to your bowl of chili. Delicious! ) Method two is mirroring: Choosing a drink that compliments the characters and offers continuity with the food, for the whole experience to flow seamlessly. Your choice of pairing could be a blend of mirroring and contrasting in order to balance the drink and food in your mouth, and to bring out the goodness...

Can you imagine Italian food and not think of an appetizing warm plate of pasta and some great wine to gulp it down? Impossible, right? Here we give you a lowdown on how to get your perfect plate of pasta each time you cook. Basics: The art of cooking pasta: Although it may seem rather simple, there may be times when your pasta cooking session ends up in uneven lumps and floppy outcomes. Follow and stick to these tips in order to avoid it. To prevent the pasta from sticking, always use a large vessel with adequate amount of water. Make sure the water has boiled well before adding the pasta. When you place the pasta in the water, the starch particles on the pasta start swelling up making the surface very sticky. To avoid the pasta from sticking, gently start stirring it in the beginning itself. Add a tad bit more salt than the bite-size, as salt helps make the surface slightly rough so that it does not stick. Refrain from rinsing the pasta soon after it is cooked, as rinsing may wash away all its delightful flavors. Instead, place it in a strainer or sieve to let the surplus water drain. Know your pasta sauce: The secret behind every perfect plate of your favorite pasta is a great sauce. Needless to say, nothing beats a fresh, homemade pasta sauce. Another important aspect of the pasta recipe is that it is different from region to region like, the use...

Jokes apart, Indians are devouring factory processed as well as local made cheese with a passion. Conservative estimates suggest that Pune's German Bakery sells about 20 kg of different varieties of cheese every morning - from cheesecake to hard, mature yak cheese from Kalimpong.

Calorie count: 280 calories per 100 gms serving. #2 Ricotta Cheese: The process of making it i. e. the coagulation is similar to our very own cottage cheese aka paneer.

A healthy and strong body frame is necessary for good posture, balance, strength and proper movement of the body. Bones form the skeletal system of our body and it is vital to have a strong skeletal system to protect internal organs and anchor the muscles. Calcium and vitamin D are two critical nutrients for bones. Calcium is the main building block of the bone tissues and makes the bone dense and strong. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption and proper utilization of calcium. Your bones are bank accounts of calcium where you deposit and withdraw calcium throughout your life. Low calcium intake is associated with low bone mass and high fracture rate. Low calcium levels in the blood lead to withdrawal of calcium from the bones which over a period of time make the bones weak and brittle and finally cause osteoporosis. Osteoporosis is a medical condition characterized by weak, fragile and porous bones that are more prone to fractures. A regular supply of calcium is not only important during childhood and the adolescent age but throughout life to keep the bones healthy and strong. The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for calcium is (see chart): Age (in years) Category Calcium (RDA) 1-3 Children 700 milligrams/day 4-8 Children 1000 milligrams/day 19 to 50 Men and women 1000 milligrams/day 51 and older Men and women 1200 milligrams/day Under 19 Pregnant/breastfeeding mothers 1300 milligrams/day 19 and above Pregnant/breastfeeding mothers 1000 milligrams/day Besides calcium and vitamin D, there are some nutrients which are...

### All about Saffron

- Categories: Food Guide

The English word saffron comes from Latin safranum, via the 12thcentury old French term safran. Another theory states that safranum derives from the Arabic word, az zafaran, literally, the adjective asfar, meaning yellow. It is called kesar or zaafran in Hindi and Urdu; kungumapu in Tamil; kumkuma puvva in Telugu; zaafran in Persian; zanghonghua in Chinese; safran in German; zafferano in Italian and azafran in Spanish. Origins: Saffron-based pigments have been found in 50,000-year-old depictions of prehistoric places in north-west Iran. Later, the Sumerians used wild-growing saffron in their remedies and magical potions. Saffron was an article of long distance trade before the Minoan palace culture’s 2nd millennium BC peak. Ancient Persians cultivated saffron in their regions of Derbena, Isfahan and Khorasan by the 10th century BC. At such sites, saffron threads were woven into textiles, ritually offered to divinities and used in dyes, perfumes, medicines and body baths. Saffron threads were scattered across beds on the wedding night of the newly-wed, who were also offered saffron powder in hot milk as an aphrodisiac. It was also used as a drugging agent and mixed into hot teas as a curative for bouts of melancholy. During his Asian campaigns, Alexander the Great used Persian saffron in his infusions as a curative for battle wounds. His troops imitated the practice from the Persians and brought saffron-bathing to Greece. In late Hellenistic Egypt, Cleopatra used saffron in her baths so that lovemaking could be more pleasurable. Ancient Persian records date its arrival to...

Nellikai Thuvaiyal is an age old and traditional recipe made from fresh Nellikai or Amla. Nellikai or the Indian Gooseberry is a powerhouse of nutrition. This small lemon sized fruit packs a punch of Vitamin C that is 20 times more powerful than an orange. Seasonally available during the winter months, the fruit is dried and used in various forms across the year. Due to its powerful rejuvenating properties, it is an integral part of Ayurveda where it is adapted into various churanas and powders. Our grandmoms have long since tapped into the magical properties of this wonder fruit and have converted it into pickles or powders that could be stored and used for a longer period of time. Having said that, eating a fresh Amla is a delight in itself. One crunchy bite lends itself to a bursts of contrasting tastes starting with sour, slightly bitter and later a sweet after taste when mixed with the saliva or water. Apart from consuming it raw, it is also ground into chutneys, thokku or pachadis wherein it is served as a side for rice, idli or dosa. Winters are the best time to stock up on Nellikai.

Glucose and fructose are the principal sugars in the ripe fruit with no trace of sucrose. The anthocyanins in the fruit are responsible for colouring the mouth and tongue purple.

A glance on how it works: Voltage of electricity over which it works, converts into waves of electromagnetic energy which is a typical combination of electrical and magnetic energy. This is the frequency band of radio waves, not x-rays. The inbuilt wave guide and stirrer blade in collaboration with each other see to it that the emanating energy is passed to all areas of the oven interior.

Microwaves released in the oven make the water molecules in the food material vibrate and twist which produces heat, and this heat helps cook food.

### The Many Health Benefits of Salad

- Categories: Food Guide

With more and more people becoming health conscious today, there are many forums where health benefits of salad are discussed at length. Eating salads are not only relevant only to those who are trying to lose weight, but are equally important for anyone trying to maintain their health. We are here to discuss some of the several health benefits of salad, that we hope will serve as an eye-opener to anyone trying to inculcate healthy and nutritious food habits. A salad a day A recently concluded study on healthy food habits has proved that those who even consumed a single bowl of salad a day, are healthier than those who do not eat any raw vegetables during the course of the day. It is in fact quite surprising to learn the health benefits of salad, even if it is a single serving of salad in a day. A single salad provides an individual a supply of important vitamins such as vitamin C, B6 and E as well as folic acid. These are important nutrients thatboost immunity and reduce the risk of various diseases and lifestyle disorders such as obesity. Thanks to our fast paced lives we do not even realize the harm that we are doing to our physical beings. The same study proves that less than 50 per cent of us Americans do not consume the nominal standards in raw fruit and vegetable consumption as has prescribed by health experts. But the good news is that, we can rectify...

The preparations are simple yet organic and salubrious. The dishes typically are spicy with chili pepper taking prominence over traditional Indian garam masalas. Fish, rice and leafy vegetables constitute the staple food of native Manipuri's. The source of fresh vegetables is the gardens attached to the kitchens where vegetables are raised through conventional methods. Fishes are reared in tiny ponds surrounding the houses. The flavor of the cuisine can particularly be attributed to their origin. The dependence on home grown or local market vegetables has rendered the cuisine seasonal. Each season sees a new preparation based on the special vegetables grown therein. Manipur boasts of a number of aromatic herbs and roots that are unique to the state. These add a distinguishing flavor to the cuisines which render them a different taste of the mainstream Indian foods. A few of the typical roots are awa phadigom, toning-khok, maroi napakpi, mayang-ton, and maroi nakuppi. In addition to this, numerous vegetables that are part of the daily meal can be obtained on or in the vicinity of the Manipur area only and are not grown anywhere else. Such vegetables include yendem which is a form of taro, hawai mana, loklei, komprek, chawai, and an herb root called koukha. Mushrooms are favorite with the people of Manipur and variants of these edible types occupied an important position in the cuisine... .

Ideally, the place where you lovingly prepare dishes for the entire family should be a haven of cleanliness but in reality the kitchen tends to become the most unhygienic place in the house if a regular tidiness regime is not followed. However, it is never too late to start a routine to clean and maintain your culinary space perfectly. Here are a few tips to start off with: Garbage disposal: No place amasses garbage with more rapidity than a kitchen. Vegetable and fruit peels, plastic and paper packets, eggshells, seeds and other whatnots start making their appearance from the morning and by noon the room is teeming with organic and inorganic waste. Keep a dust pan and a small brush/broom on the ready for periodic collection of garbage and throwing into the dustbin. Make sure that you clean and rinse the dust pan, brush and bin every week. The items must be allowed to dry in the sun before reuse, so keep an extra set handy. Line the dustbin with garbage bag and make sure you dispose the garbage bag every day to prevent breeding of bacteria and germs. Clean countertops: The next delinquent on the dirt accumulator list is the countertop which bears all the weight of your cooking. Hot dal, cold milk, breadcrumbs, spices and oil kept on the countertop from time to time will cause wear and tear. Besides, the food particles stuck in between counter tiles and in the cracks can cause further harm making your...

Lord Ganesha is the god of wisdom and prosperity. He is one of the most popular Hindu Gods with the unique position of being prayed first. Ganesh Chathurthi, the birthday of Lord Ganesh is celebrated on the fourth day of the Shukla paksha (moon bright fortnight) in the lunar month of Bhadrapad. Mostly, the celebration continues for 10 days. Although Ganesh chathurthi is celebrated all across the country, it has its celebrations grandest in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. Since time immemorial, Ganesh Chaturthi has been celebrated. However, the present style of festivity came into fashion in 1893. In the past, Ganesh Chathurthi had been just a family affair.

Ganesh Chathurthi is about bringing home brilliantly crafted Ganesh idols and has gained immense popularity. The preparations for the festivities begin at least a fortnight before. Artistically decorated stages are set up and statues are installed in street corners and in homes. Almost every...

A handful of fresh raspberries added to the pitcher will make it look and taste beautiful and give it a sharp taste - which works particularly well if you've opted for vanilla vodka. Ingredients: 2 pints of water or soda water. Either of these works quite well. Juice from 6 lemons, freshly squeezed for good flavour 4 to 6 oz. caster sugar, adjust to your own taste 1 tsp. rose water Sprigs of fresh mint for garnishing Fresh raspberries Method: Use a large pitcher in order to mix the water, juice, sugar and rosewater together.

Finding a prominent niche in the annals of several nations, this mammoth fruit is encrusted with legends and folklores. There is clear mention of it in Buddhist and Jain literature of 400 BC as also in the Tamil literature of 3 AD. The earliest foreign national to dwell on its description was Xuan Zang, a Chinese traveler in the 7th century AD. It is said to have originated in India and grows everywhere in the country. At the lower tank-bund in Hyderabad there is an ashram of sorts where death rites are performed. In the open space here there are trees growing these large fruits.

- Categories: Food Guide

Using fresh fruits and vegetables in prime condition ensures optimum nutritional value. Smoothies are an easy and delicious way to increase your intake of fruit and vegetables - a direct way towards a healthier diet for all the family. There are no artificial flavors, colours or preservatives, some of which are known to have adverse effects on people with allergies and on children. Fruit and some vegetables, particularly carrots and beetroot, are naturally sweet so smoothies and juices are an easy way to reduce sugar intake without compromising taste. They take hardly and time to make, yet provide an instant energy boost and quench your thirst. They offer a tasty and interesting alternative to commercial products, cost less, are usually healthier and can be adapted to your personal taste. You can drink them any time of day from breakfast to bedtime and they provide a far better, longer-lasting and healthier snack when your energy is flagging than crisps, chocolate or biscuits. They are a great way of using up odd pieces of fruit – the last banana in the bowl or a few grapes left on the stem – providing they are still in good condition. You know exactly what ingredients have been used, so there are no unpleasant surprises or hidden quantities of saturated fats or sugar. They taste fabulous.

### 10 Tips to make the Best Smoothies

> Ten simple tips to make the best delicious home made smoothies.

- Published: 2012-03-18
- Modified: 2019-10-28
- URL: https://www.awesomecuisine.com/recipes/10057/10-tips-to-make-the-best-smoothies/
- Categories: Food Guide

Here are 10 simple tips that will help you to make a tasty smoothie at home. Use the freshest possible, ripe ingredients. Over-ripe or damaged fruit will not improve by being made into a smoothie. Use fruit and vegetables that are in season and, preferably, locally grown for the best flavour and greatest natural sweetness. Do not prepare fruit and vegetables in advance, as they will start to dry out and lose their juiciness. Some vitamins are quickly destroyed on exposure to air so this would also reduce the nutritional value - one of the great benefits of smoothies. Smoothies are best served chilled, but adding ice will dilute them. Keep milk and other dairy products in the refrigerator until required. Chill the glasses before you make the smoothie. If you want to add ice to the blender, crack it first to avoid damaging the blades. Put ice cubes in a plastic bag, wrap it in a clean tea towel and hit with a hard object or swing against a hard wall that won’t be damaged. When adding strongly flavoured spices, such as ground ginger or chillies, err on the side of caution. Add half the suggested quantity, taste and add more if you like. Never overfill the blender goblet; check the manufacturer’s instructions for the maximum capacity for your particular model. Overfilling may result in liquid spilling out of the top and/ or the ingredients being inadequately combined. About half full is best for smoothies, so if necessary, make...

They are juicy and the mere mention of the name brings water in your mouth. Strawberries which were once very rare to find are now available in all parts of the world.

Strawberry seeds are on the outer skin, instead of in the inner berry. They have been used for sunburn, discolored teeth, digestion, and gout.

### Pasta with Pesto Sauce

IngredientsBasil leaves - 55gms Pine nuts - 20gms Garlic - one or two clovesParmesan -  40gmsSardinian pecorino cheese - 10gms Coarse salt -  a few grainsExtra virgin olive oil - 55gmsMethod1. Wash the basil leaves in plenty of cold water. Leave them to dry on a towel. You can also use a hand-operated salad spinner. During this process, pay attention not to break, crush or rub the basil leaves. You need to use a marble mortar and a wooden pestle when making Genoese Pesto. 2. Once clean, crush the garlic and pine nuts in the mortar until they are creamy. Add the dry basil leaves a few at a time, and add salt. Don’t beat the mixture, but use the pestle with a delicate movement, rotating it against the sides of the mortar. This movement is necessary to extract the essential oils from the veins of the basil leaves, which are therefore not broken but rubbed against the side of the mortar. 3. Continue this movement until the sauce is homogeneous and well-mixed, and the basil is very fine. Add the Parmesan and the Sardinian pecorino cheese. Slowly add the extra virgin olive oil and stir again with a wooden spoon until the cheese is mixed in. 4. If you aren’t going to eat the pesto immediately, put it in a glass or plastic jar, cover it with a layer of oil and keep it in the fridge.

Rava-Besan Laddoos Ingredients: 1 cup Besan (Gram Flour) 1 tbsp Ghee (Clarified Butter) 2 cup Rava (Semolina) 1 cup Sugar 1-2 cup Water Sliced Almonds and cashews to garnish Method: Take the ghee in a non-stick pan. Once the ghee is melted add rava to it and half roast it till it becomes faint light pinkish and starts giving out roasted smell. Don't overcook it. Then add the besan to it and roast again for about 5 mins till the mixture becomes golden brown in color. Along with this, keep another pan to make the sugar syrup with all the sugar and water. Keep stirring the sugar syrup and check the consistency till it comes to single-wired texture (take a little sugar syrup between your fingers and check to see that the syrup forms a single strand as you pull your fingers apart). Take the rava-besan mixture in a plate and allow it to cool. Once the sugar syrup is done, don't let it cool much, and add it to the rava till it becomes like a thick paste. Keep adding the syrup a little at a time, just enough so you can make a loose ball when you take some mixture in your hand. Mix everything well and let it rest for 7-8 hours or even for overnight, to be on the safer side. You can see that the mixture when cooled enough, it becomes a bit thicker than before; Make laddus out of it and garnish them with...

Light golden brown color would be good. 5) Once the chicken is fried, set aside and allow it to cool. Meanwhile dry fry all the spices individually (mustard seeds, coriander seeeds, cumin seeds, cloves, elaichi, dalchini and poppy seeds) on low flame till nice aroma comes out. Do not burn them (the pickle would turn bitter if spices are over burnt)6) Once done allow the spices to cool off and grind all spices...

Ingredients:14 oz Canned coconut milk8 Dried, red chile peppers *2 ts Cumin seeds2 ts Coriander seeds1 ts Turmeric1 tb Grated fresh ginger 6 Garlic cloves, minced5 tb Peanut oil1 lg Onion, thinly slicedSalt1 lb Prawns, shelled, deveinedMethod:Do yourself a favor and use canned coconut milk in this recipe. It's a lot easier and probably better than what you would produce using a fresh coconut. Process the grated fresh coconut or the desiccated coconut with 3 1/2 cups hot water in a food processor. Drape a piece of folded cheesecloth over a bowl and pour the coconut mixture into the cheesecloth. Strain the liquid, squeezing the pulp to extract as much milk as possible. This is thick coconut milk; set aside. Pour 2 1/2 cups hot water over the coconut in the cheesecloth and squeeze to extract more milk into another bowl. This second extract is thin coconut milk. Set aside. If you are using canned coconut milk, skip this step and proceed with the recipe. Grind the chile peppers, cumin and coriander seeds in a spice grinder and set aside. Process the thick coconut milk (or canned coconut milk) with the ground spices, turmeric, ginger and garlic; set aside. Heat the oil in a heavy, shallow pan. Add the onions and cook until the edges begin to turn almost reddish brown (about 15 minutes), stirring frequently. Add the coconut-spice mixture and cook until the liquid evaporates and oil separates from the paste. Cook this paste for 10 more minutes, stirring constantly. Stir...
