Treat your tummy with an absolute melt in mouth paneer kofta dunked in a rich creamy badami gravy. I had the pleasure of eating this royal treat in a near by restaurant few days back. The badami gravy is not just rich but also provides a amazing flavor ride to your palate. Basically the recipe comes under Awadhi Cusine and is quite close to Malai Kofta. The paneer kofta recipe resembles to malai kofta a lot but the gravy makes a huge difference when it comes to taste. The royal gravy has a smooth texture but along with that it…

Nutella Kulfi is a fabulous variation of regular kulfi we make. Its an amazing treat for children as well as adults in this scorching heat. Nutella itself is something that i can die for.

The ingredients used were all present at home and above all i was searching for a recipe where i…

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…

In our daily affairs we commonly make omletes, poach, sunny side up, half frys, srambled eggs or bhurji , boiled and sliced and egg curries. There are different styles of making egg curry,…

The delicate koftas simply melt in mouth and gives a marvelous taste when combined with a creamy and silky makhi gravy with a mild aroma of kasuri methi. I teamed up this awesome dish with…
