I wish to die with a mouth full of Biryani… for me there can be no love than Biryani love! The one craziest stuff that makes me go super crazy for. Biryani, no matter mutton or chicken, is my utter most favorite dish. Biryani comes from the Mughlai cuisine and has some amazing variations done in different regions where the Mughals travel. In my knowledge Biryani is made with different preparations in different states of Inida. In my blog i have been focusing on adding different kinds of Biryanis from various regions. You may also find Hyderabadi Biryani, Bombay Biryani,…

Whenever i die i would love to die with a spoon full of Biryani in my mouth! The only mutton delicacy i believe is worth dying for is non other than Biryani. Slow cooked meat with whole spices and curd when comes with long grain rice, the flavor and the aroma is simply unbeatable. My love for biryani mainly begun when i was in college. Despite of being born and brought up in a Muslim family, Biryani has though been one of our staple food, still the journey of falling in love with the delicacy started after i went to…

My blog’s 2nd century celebrations are still on. For all those who don’t like soya chunks (Nutrella) , i have got two such recipes that will not just complete your meal but even tantalize your taste buds and make you have it again and again. Firstly i got you a Nutri Pilaf that is studded with dry fruits and is simply aromatic. Trust me, this simple nutri pilaf is no less than a laborious traditional Biryani. Similarly the soft soya chunks made in a spicy dry gravy with a kick of pepper will certainly make you fall in love with…

I was very new to Sindhi Biryani before i explored my friend Anisa Arif’s website http://shop.zaiqathespicestore.com/ . Before this i had tried Zaika’s Bombay Biryani Masala which i used few months back. It got published in various online food magazines too. Since then i am a huge fan if Zaika Spices. They are fresh, fine and absolutely aromatic. While ordering some spices , Sindhi Biryani Masala caught attention of mine this time. After having a word about it with Anisa, i decided to give it a try. The procedure followed to make this Biryani was the same, the only difference…

Bottle Gourd is the only vegetable i always disliked as a kid. Lately, the two dishes made with bottle gourd which i started liking and later fallen in love with were Lauki Halwa and Lauki Kofta. I have seen my mom making typical spicy gravy with lots of bottle gourd dumplings drowned in it. Since long i had been wanting to make lauki kofta in a rich thick creamy gravy. Today while hunting veggies in the fridge i came across a lauki and some left over fresh cream/malai and of course the cashew nut paste which i always keep handy…

Aam panna is an Indian drink renowned for its heat-resistant properties. It is made from green mangoes and is light pale in color, and is consumed as a tasty and healthy beverage to fight against the intense Indian summer heat. I have been longing to make this refreshing drink from quiet a long time. It was a few days back when i went to my mother’s place and she handed me a basket full of raw mangoes that had fallen in a windy storm. Didn’t wanted to make pickles and all, so used few for making dal, chutney etc and…

Biryani is something i simply can’t get over it. This is the only dish which i can relish daily. After having tried Awadhi Biryani, Hyderabadi Biryani, Kerela Biryani it was now turn to lay my hands on Bombay Biryani. I had this during my stay in Mumbai somewhere near Lokhandwala. The taste was little mild as compared to North India’s Dum biryani. Luckily i had a packet of ready made Bombay Biryani masala which i had received a few days back from one of my good friend Anisa Arif also the owner of Zaika. Apart from whole spices i did…

An Aloo/ potato can never go wrong !!! I strongly believe that even if the whole world finish, aloo will be the only thing surviving. There is no corner of this world (i know there isn’t a corner actually) where aloo is not cooked. Such an humble vegetable, doesn’t mind getting into with anything. One of my favorite Mughlai veg recipe is Tandoori Aloo . In fact the best Microwave recipe for Aloo. It has quite a couple of times rescued me when there is a sudden arrival of guests and there is scarcity of vegetables at home. Tandoori Aloo…

In my family celebration is all about having Biryani. In any occasion, a good Biryani is always the show stopper. Usually i make varieties of Biryani following my mom’s and grandmom’s recipes but today again for a change i tried making by following the recipe of master chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

Cornmeal is a kind of flour or meal that is made from ground sweet corn. It comes in yellow, white, blue or red varieties, depending on the type of corn used. Since cornmeal is gluten-free, fine and medium cornmeal is usually mixed with wheat flour to create a crumbly texture in baked goods like cornbread or corn muffins.Today i used white corn meal in making rawa dosa. Surprisingly the dosa came out to be much more tastier than those regular ones.

Corn Marbles are one of the most wanted snack in my home. My son often nags for some hotel type snack which he can enjoy at home. Like any other kid even he is fond of all fried stuff. So i chose to make one at home instead of getting something ready made. Corn Marbles are tasty , crunchy oval shaped potato balls filled with corns, peas and pea nuts. The sewai coating makes it scrumptious and i make kids fall in love with the marbles. The corn marbles are again an easy option for kid’s tiffin boxes.

Usually Malai Kofta is all about Paneer koftas stuffed with dry fruits and cream. But i thought of adding a lil twist in the koftas specially. Had few peas, one cauliflower and some beans left in my fridge. So just added them in the koftas to make it more rich. Interesting..? Malai kofta is ready to be served. Serve hot with Butter Naan or Tandoori Roti.
