Aloo halwa is unique and is a starch and carbs-rich dessert, typically prepared in winter and consumed during fasts like Shivratri or Navratri to provide necessary energy required by the body. It can be prepared for any occasion and celebration ritual.

Pitod Ki Sabji ( Rajasthani Curry)

Pitod ki Sabzi is a traditional Rajasthani dish. This is similar to gatte ki sabzi but more delicious and tastes similar to paneer ki sabzi, but does not use any vegetable or paneer. Rajasthan is a desert state with little vegetation and that is why people are accustomed to using fresh vegetable alternatives. If there are no vegetables in your fridge and you still want to make something special then do prepare Rajasthani Pitod ki Sabzi.

Moori Laddu (Rice Puff Crisps)

Second week of New Year is the timeΒ  when large parts of the country are shivering under intense cold waves, the fields are green again and the harvest is beckoning. This time of the year is celebrated with different names in different parts of India (Lohri, Makar Sankranti, Pongal, Uttarayan, Magh Bihu and Poush Sankranti etc.)

Being winter time, sweets made out of jaggery are made and distributed among family and friends. I tried laddus using puffed rice and jaggery and it came out very well.

Breads, Naan

Naan, flatbread and aΒ  must eat at an Indian restaurant is traditionally baked inside blazing-hot clay ovens (Tandoor). I am presenting a homemade version thatΒ  is actually quite easy to make on a hot skillet and stove top and is fluffy, crispy outside/ soft inside and very tasty.
