Makes 14 My Bostonian friends will agree with me that Jalapeno Poppah Aappa is a totally wicked appetizah! Aapah, btw, is singular for aape:) You all know that I am going crazy with my aape pan! The charm of eating my favorite fried foods using just a couple of drops of oil, is very alluring... Continue Reading →
Makes about a cup Versatile is what describes this chutney accurately. When I made it, I did not even realize that I would use it in so many ways. And I have a list of so many more sandwiches, wraps and salads that I would use it in! Strawberries are in season now, and I... Continue Reading →
Serves 4 Have you been craving the popular Indo Chinese, Gobi Manchurian, but worrying about the calorie content? Are the calories in the deep fried, battered cauliflower making you feel guilty? (psst…..that was me:) Then it is time to dust off the aape pan and enjoy Gobi Manchurian, sans the guilt ! Aape pans are... Continue Reading →
Summer picnics are here again and ours is never complete without bhel in a bag and chutney sandwiches. Here is a #quick and #easy way to pack both for your next picnic!
Bhel is a very popular street food, especially in Pune and Mumbai, India. You are sure to find a bhel cart in and around picnic places like parks, beaches, and old forts with hiking trails. It draws a huge crowd of people , and it is with awe that one watches the ‘bhelwala’ mix each bhel to order!
So here in America, I started packing bhel for our summer picnics, with the dry and wet ingredients ready to be mixed on site, and the concept of bhel in a bag was born! So as soon as the weather got warm this year, we headed off to the harbor islands with our favorite picnic menu – bhel in a bag, chutney and cucumber sandwiches, cut watermelon, and corn on the cob!

Dear friends,
Reblogging my Eggceptional Egg Pullav especially for Eid today!
Hope you all enjoy it! Have a great weekend!
serves 4
Eggceptional Egg Pullav
Why is this Egg Pullav exceptional, you ask? Simply for it’s taste and for it’s versatility! It can be served by itself, with just a side salad, or it could be part of a fancy dinner menu. Either way it carries itself very well and makes a fantastic and lasting impression. Additionally, most of the ingredients needed for this recipe are ‘regular’ ingredients found in most of our homes yet they come together to make a sumptuous pullav.
Using a readymade biryani or pullav masala makes the task even easier, but if you do not have the masala on hand, you can use peppercorns, cloves, cinnamon, bay leaf and the green cardamom as I did in the Bejeweled Basmati rice.
So here are the ingredients-

Serves 4 Are you fascinated by edible containers? I am not sure why, but I am enchanted by them! So you can imagine my excitement when I recently saw the Magic Pop Korean style rice cakes. They are made of wheat, brown rice and corn. These crispy cakes are almost as big as the tea cup saucers!... Continue Reading →
Serves 8 Which camp do you belong to when it comes to fruit sprinkled with salt and spices? When my children were little, they scrunched up their noses at the very thought of it. I grew up eating fresh, ripe guavas sprinkled with salt and red chili powder …..hmmm… my mouth waters even as I... Continue Reading →
