Kanji Vada ( Moong dal pakora)

At the start of spring season, the festival of Holi or sometimes called festival of color  is incomplete without some scrumptious dishes shared with family and friends. Kanji Vada is one such dish that is savored during the festival. It is a spicy drink made with spices such as mustard seeds, asafoetida, red chili etc, served along with vada made from moong dal. It is fermented, sour, tangy and spicy at once, is an excellent probiotic, good for health and can easily be made at home.

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.

Curry, Lentil, vegan

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.

Breads, Naan

Butter Naan (Indian Bread)

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

Mango Pudding With Rusk

It’s an easy to make recipe that tastes like Heaven. During summer time, there are many varieties of great tasting mangoes available and we love to enjoy the fruit as well as different recipes from Mango. I tried a quick mango dessert and it tasted super yummy. A quicker version is also described under notes. 
Make it on the previous day and the results are satisfying.
