This is the first time i made Khandvi. Though i have heard a lot about this Gujrati delicacy and even tasted a couple of times. Always had a fear to try this as i had been hearing a lot about its tricky technique and method. The ingredients of Khnadvi are so similar to that of khaman dhokla, that can be easily available at home…only the method is different. Level of cooking i would say is difficult. To get those perfect size rolls is a tricky business. If the consistency of the mix is too thin, it wouldn’t roll…and if its…
Course: snack

The monthly challenge set at Chef Across Boundaries was hosted by me for the month of June. After going through a wonderful experience of exploring Brazilian food last month, this month i decide to go for JAPANESE CUISINE. The only Japanese food i knew till date was Sushi. Wanted to explore more hence did a bit research before i could actually decide to go for it. Through internet research i came to know that Japanese cuisine (和食, washoku) offers an abundance of gastronomical delights with a boundless variety of regional and seasonal dishes as well as international cuisine. The Japanese…

I always prefer to stock my tea time snack like biscuits and cookies. Though i have made cookies before also but always wanted to make an egg less version. After a long search on internet, finally found a fool proof recipe at NishaMadhulika’s website at http://nishamadhulika.com/en/471-eggless-coconut-cookies-recipe.html . Followed the recipe to the T and trust me it came out superb. The coconut flavor is again one of my fav. My taste buds go crazy when its a coconut cookie. The cookies were light and absolutely melts in mouth. Perfect for kids with milk and adults can enjoy them anytime with…

Again one of my favorite childhood tea time snack… Nankhatai also known as Indian shortbread cookies or biscuits. There are many variants of Nankhatai but here i have tried the easiest one made mainly with flour, sugar and ghee. In this recipe i have added a lil gram flour (besan) and semolina (suji) also. I have grown up seeing my mom baking these sweet goodies for us in those old fashioned ovens where racks and racks of mouth melting nankhatais were baked. Today though we don’t have those assets but still i tried baking some to satisfy my sweet urge….

Still i love to take up the challenge and try to create something…

The world whole is talking about NO WASTAGE of Food. This reminds me of a quote “If every single human being on this planet had enough food, it would change our societies. It would stop wars, put an end to suffering and even change the course of human history.” Imagine if every child, man and woman on this planet had enough food. Imagine what it would do to our human civilization. If every single human being on this planet had enough food, it would change our societies. It would stop wars, put an end to suffering and even change the…
