I love my paranthas during winters. Especially with a raita and a pickle. But we very soon run out of ideas on what kind of paranthas to make. I suppose I am difficult to please. I was discussing the menu for the following day when Hari suggested a potato or radish parantha. I told him…

Lemon Coriander Soup
This is another classic soup, though I am not sure whether it is only in India or across the world. In my mind, this is more like a summer soup. Perhaps because the association of lemon is often with summer and lemon juice. But I made this soup in winter and thoroughly enjoyed it. The…
Maa Ki Dal (Black Lentil Dal)
This traditional recipe from the North Indian state of Punjab uses whole black lentils. This is not a lentil that I normally stock in my pantry. The urge was upon me to have maa ki dal – which I requested Hari quite a few times. Every time, the response was that we did not have…
Hot And Sour Soup
This recipe, from Tarla Dalal, is one of the street foods of Mumbai. If, like me, you are a fan of tangy foods, then this is definitely for you. I grew up in a traditional South Indian household, where many dishes contain tamarind. If fact, quite a few of them have tamarind as a base….
Baby Corn Soup
I have been posting a lot of soup recipes this winter. That will probably come to an end quite soon as we have entered spring and the temperature, though temperate just now, is climbing. I will therefore revert to healthy salads soon. In the meantime, I have always been foxed with baby corn. This is…
Carrot Soup
Winter is slowly, but surely, coming to an end in North India. The daytime temperatures are rising and it feels quite hot at times. So, it may also be time to put an end to hot winter soups. It doesn’t make sense to have hot soups in summer when the temperatures routinely cross 40o C….
Baked Cauliflower
I get loads of cauliflower in the Delhi winter. So much so that I get tired of the vegetable by the end of winter. But start missing it again during the hot summer months. Its not that I do not get the vegetable during the hot summer months. It’s just that I prefer to eat…
Dill Soup
My experiments with soups continues. My farmer has been giving me dill of late. I have never used this herb before. I tried using it to make a green smoothie, but I found the taste not to my liking. I therefore decided that it would be better to cook the dill rather than have it…
Rice Panki (A Crepe)
I am always on the lookout for a good snack recipe. Though I have quite a few on the blog, I get bored with them. A new recipe is always welcome. So, I was fascinated with this rice crepe recipe from the very talented, late Tarla Dalal. This is a Gujarati recipe. Gujarat is a…
Vazhaithandu Mulakootal (Banana Stem Dal)
Mulakootal is a typical and traditional dish from Palakkad, a district of the Southern state of Kerala. You can use any one of several vegetables to prepare mulakootal – spinach, ash gourd, snake gourd, elephant yam, pumpkin, Chinese potatoes, any greens, raw banana, cabbage… The one I am presenting here today is prepared using vazhaithandu…
