Since I hail from Rajasthan and landed in the family of Kashmiris, home-cooked traditonal recipes have always excited the foodie in me.
Here comes another one 'Coconut bhindi', which is a simple yet flavourful version of this humble vegetable. You just need some generous amount of sauteed onions while you make bhindi with basic spices and then top it with fresh grated and fried coconut, to make it super delectable.
Trust me it won't leave your taste buds easily. We made this with garden fresh organic bhindi and it was divine.

Do what the Malliks do! Connect with the soil to seek joy and get healed

Read my neighbor Mr. Mallik’s story on how he turned his not so large terrace into a full fledged garden where he grows all organic vegetables and fruits. ‘This is like meditation for me, its my time with nature. Tilling and planting all these treasure troves give me ultimate joy and positivity when I come back from work. It’s my passion to nurture these greens and I thoroughly enjoy seeing life grow in this little garden of mine’ he says.

The first time I truly experienced the joy of eating Chhole Bhature was at the Nathu's Sunder Nagar, many years ago. Being one of the most flavourful and tempting recipes from Punjab, you'll agree that a mere brain wave to have chhole bathure, can excite you and brighten your mood.
I am sure most of us have some or the other food memory related to it !
Frankly, its not a rocket science to make bathuras at home and you can create this fancy looking ever delicious recipe, without much ado!

Most of us already know how to make chhole, so I am not getting there. Just follow these simple steps to make soft and yummy bathure (for 2-3 people) :

Take 2 cups white flour, 1/4 cup suji for crunchiness, 1/2 tsp baking powder to raise the flour, 1/4 cup curd for softness, 2 tsp oil, 1 tsp sugar, salt to taste. Mix everything together and make a dough which is not too soft and not too hard.

NOT TO MISS: Check out the 2nd image. Keep the dough in sun for 4 hours. It makes all the difference and helps in raising the dough perfectly.

Keep a deep bottomed kadhai or pan ready for frying the bathuras. Now get the dough, soften it a bit more with your hand, make it cylindrical and seperate small balls to make bathuras of them. Use the rolling pin to flatten one of the dough balls evenly, making it slightly longish from sides and then fry in piping hot oil. Fry slightly golden brown from both the sides. Repeat the process with rest of the dough.

Serve soft,crunchy and fluffy bathuras with chhole, onions, pickle and some green chillies !!! .

Thank you RoundGlass Thali

Kashmir’s weather condition is extreme and thus use of kesar (saffron), cinnamon, asafoetida, and ginger helps keep the body warm and also reduces the pressure on the intestine.

Let’s have Pasta...it’s a saturday!!

Weekends will remain special no matter we stay indoors or indulge outdoors.
Simply spaghetti it is today...Bon Appetit !!

Take mid size 10 tomatoes for 3-4 people, boil them or air fry them, de-skin and deseed. Alongside, boil water in a pot & add some salt and oil. Once the water is at rolling boil, add spaghetti and cook it till Al-Dante. Remove the spaghetti from the pot, pour it in another container, add some olive oil and toss it so that it doesn’t stick. Preserve some pasta water for later use.
Now roughly chop the tomato pulp and your tomato concasse (sauce base)is ready.
Take a pan, add some olive oil or butter with 5-6 crushed garlic cloves and add the tomato concasse in that. Cook for a few minutes, add salt, pepper, chilli flakes/ powder and pasta seasoning.
Now add your spaghetti and toss it. Pasta is ready, you must use the pasta water now to enhance the taste and make it a bit more sauce consistency. Garnish with basil leaves and some grated Parmesan, if available.

Serve this sumptuous 🍝 this Saturday, to your family 🙂 .

Since slow cooking has taken precedence in our kitchens during these times, vegetable Handvo- a Gujarati recipe, can surely be on our breakfast menu for a super healthy, tasty and a filling start of the day !

It’s usually made with soaked lentils and vegetables and fermented for few hours but this instant Handvo has Rawa and veggies, takes lesser time to cook and is equally delish !
