Rasmalai

Rasmalai is one of the most famous (and delicious) Indian sweets, made from milk and sugar. It’s a very rich dish, served chilled.

I love this dish; it’s often served at weddings and other special occasions. It’s similar to rasgulla, which I’ve posted before, but here thick milk is also used. They’re quite easy to make, and paying attention to detail – like remembering to knead but not over-knead – will make them even better. Try this mouthwatering recipe!

Aligarh ki Khasta Poori with Aloo Sabji

Pooris are very popular deep fried flat breads in India. These are made in different styles. One style that is very popular and is very tasty comes from the North Indian town of Aligarh called ‘Aligarh ki Khasta Poori’ or ‘ Aligarh ki Khasta Kachori’. These go well with a spicy potato curry and a yogurt preparation called ‘Raita’ to reduce the heat. Here is my recipe for this delicious dish

Street Style Chaat With Moong Dal Pakora

All south asians love to eat chaat (spicy street food) and if the chaat is good, it becomes a talking point for the party. When you talk about chaat, one starts craving it and mouth starts watering at the mention of it. 

This recipe is a healthier version of chaat because base batter is made from protein rich lentils. Although it is deep fried, if prepared properly, little oil is consumed.

Spongy Rasgulla

Rasgulla is one of the famous and delicious Indian sweets made from milk and sugar. Best variety of rasgullas come from West Bengal and they are very light, soft and spongy. Rasgulla is fairly easy to make but one needs to be aware of small tricks to make it spongy and turn it into a perfect dessert. One of the tricks is to make sure you smooth chenna (Indian cottage cheese) by kneading it  but don’t over-knead it.
