Simple & Delicious Indian Recipes
With Holi coming around, now is a great time to make sweets! One of my favorite desserts is mawa gujiya. Gujiya is a delicious Indian sweet with a crispy outer crust, stuffed with a sweet filling. It’s made with flour, sugar, ghee, nuts, and most importantly mawa. It can also have stuffed sooji but the mawa taste is better to me. It takes a little patience, but it’s definitely worth it!
Bhapa Doi, or sometimes called Mishti Doi, is a very elegant and tasty Bengali dessert. Made with 2 main ingredients, curd and condensed milk with cardamom and saffron (or other ingredients) used for flavor. It is one of the healthier and easy to make desserts with limited sugar and no oil or butter. Steaming the mixture gives it a very unique texture and taste. You can serve it warm or chilled though I prefer to eat it chilled.
Now you can have a dessert without feeling guilty-conscious.
This is one of my favorite recipes; it is absolutely delightful and incredibly healthy at the same time. I love to add lots of vegetables and make it colorful – feel free to do the same.
Moong dal kachori is a very tasty and filling snack, very popular in North India. It is very delicious served as standalone but yum factor will increase when served with aloo sabji and choley along with chutney. Main ingredients are whole wheat flour and moong dal.
It is a bit of work to prepare but you will forget all the work when you enjoy the taste.
This is a very elegant appetizer and perfect for serving to guests with some wine! It’s not too much work to make and relatively healthy as well, but looks and tastes amazing!
Over the holidays, I prepared this brie and bread wreath. Although it’s perfect to serve for Christmas or New Year, it’s an elegant dish for any occasion and serves as an excellent appetizer for any crowd. The bread is incredibly soft and delicious (and would be great with butter or other cheeses as well) – your guests won’t be able to resist!
