Awesome blog with unique, easy and yummy recipes!
Thank you so much!
I loved it. Great blog Sandhya! Can’t wait to try the recipes.
Thanks Ashwini!
Very nice blog Sandhya.
Easy and quick ideas for fast paced life.
Thanks Vineeta!
love this, Sandhya Mavshi! what a great guide 🙂
Thanks Shachi! Feel free to let me know what type of recipes you would like to see.
My pen pal of several years who lives in India sent your link to me. During the past weekend made Dum Aloo and Dahi Murghi. Old habits of meat and potatoes are difficult to break! I have been eating and preparing Indian food for years. I haven’t tried the chicken and the riata but I will. I wish you great luck with your endeavor. An aside, once made the garam masala holds well in a dark cool place. For grinding I tried the Cuisinart coffee grinder. The motor would turn off so I replaced it with another. When I had the same problem with the second one I decided to try the Mr. Coffee coffee grinder and it has held up with multiple uses grinding my spices. I love the aroma the mixture of spices gives my pantry. Although, I made Chat Masala but did not care for the taste or aroma of the black salt. It maybe it is an acquired taste. As I have had many different foods I have not come across this taste or aroma. Fortunately a family in town was gifted a lot of Chat masala in a large jar!
Susan
Hello Susan,
I am glad to hear from an accomplished cook like you!
Thank you for your good wishes.I also use a coffee grinder for making masalas.Your comment about chat masala is so funny!
I hope you enjoy the Tandoori chicken and Onion Raita !

Shilpa,
Thank you so much for your feedback! I am so happy that you liked these delicious burgers as much as I did!
Sandhya
That looks so delicious! I really don’t know a lot about Indian food, but I’m drooling over your recipes.)
I love this Sandhya! Healthy and tasty! 🙂
Thanks Ashwini! The avocado chutney has retained its green color so it can be made in advance too.
Sandhya,
I tried watermelon lassi. Too good!👍👍
Shilpa
Shilpa,
I am so glad that you liked it. Thank you so much for letting me know.
The wraps look really juicy and tasty. Grape raita? Sounds good to me:)
Thanks Mitzie! I like the grape raita a lot too and yes it makes the wrap juicy and creamy too.
anything with hummus and avocado. MMM!! yes please!
Annie,
I love hummus and avocado too. This grape raita goes perfectly with it!
Yummmm! Looks delicious 🙂
Thanks Sarah!

I like samosa. We can eat it at Indian restaurants here.
Oh I am so glad! Samosa is one of the most popular Indian appetizer food
Nice recipe…looks very tempting…
Thank you Natasha!
That looks delicious!
Thank you so much!
i love bread. so this ones heaven for me….

Thank you so much!
OMG. That might make one serving for me. I love fish curry. Is harvesting the tamarind pulp as easy as soaking and squeezing it out? I’ve never done it. And can I buy tamarinds anywhere? I’ve never looked for them so I’m not sure.
I love fish curry too! For the tamarind pulp, I just soak the dried pods in warm water for about 10 minutes or so and yes you can just squeeze out the pulp. I buy my tamarind at the Indian grocery store. It comes in a pressed little brick which I store in a container at room temperature for months. The outer dried skin of the pod is generally removed but may sometimes have some seeds in it. So when I squeeze out the pulp, I just throw those out. Tamarind is also available in many Asian stores.
I hope you like the curry as much as I do and thank you for following my blog
Love,
Sandhya
Looks so delicious!
Thank you Janaline and thank you for following my blog!
Sandhya
I’m not really a cheese person, but I like those melted ones that don’t really taste of anything, so I’m probably not the one to answer your cheese question:)
The sandwiches with corn looks delicious, and Mexican cheese is very mild, isn’t it? I could definitely eat one of those:)
Mitzee, yes the Mexican cheese blend is mild and melty, so you will like this one 🙂
I’m usually not the biggest fan of French toast, but this sounds fantastic! Love the idea of making it a savory dish filled with veggies and cheese. I’ll have to try this sometime! 🙂
Thank you! We loved it and hope you do too.
love,
Sandhya
Sweet recipe!! Thanks for sharing!! XOXO!!
Thanks Kristin!

Made this recipe this evening… it came out great!!! The squash cooks right in the pot, so no extra roasting was needed. Went well with some nice bread on the side, and was perfect for a chilly evening.
Thanks for the feedback Nikhil. Yes I like the fact that it is a one pot meal too!
What a nice presentation of the salad. I really love the colour combinations and the photo looks great too. Thanks so much for sharing!

Just tried this recipe. It came out really well. Quick and tasty! I used panch phodan as I didn’t have methi seeds. I had two bowls. 🙂
Thank you Ashwini! I am so glad that you liked it.
Great idea, to use the tortillas instead of dough! 🙂
Thank you! Using tortillas is such a time saver.
Yummy!
Thanks Mira!
Looks yammy.
Thank you Anil
This is such an awesome post! Iove that you make the samosas from tortillas – so much easier than making the dough. I also love your photo directions! Wonderful for us newbies! Thanks for enlightening us today at FF! 😀
Julianna,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so thrilled to hear from you! I am new to FF – I posted for the first time and could not see my post on FF, so was worried that I had not done something right.
So happy to meet and mingle with wonderful and talented people like you! Thanks again!
Love,
Sandhya
Thanks for the follow. This is a great fusion of flavours – S.A. meets the subcontinent. I look forward to reading more of your recipes.
Hilda, Thank you so much for your kind words and for following my blog too. I am learning so much from your blog. I love the taste of coconut oil and cannot wait to make the coconut lime Jerusalem artichoke chips- all my favorite flavors together. I am drooling looking at them. Thanks for posting the recipe.
Love,
Sandhya
Lovely recipe, Sandhya 🙂 Such an excellent idea to use tortillas to create Samosas, love the idea, btw I’m a huge amateur of samosas. Have a wonderful week 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, Linda! My mom came up with the excellent idea of using tortillas to create samosas and I am so thankful to her for this and so much more!
Have a great week!
Love,
Sandhya
We are so pleased you came to join us at Fiesta Friday and brought these all-time favourites with an interesting twist. I never thought of using tortillas instead of pastry, but love this idea, and your photos. I hope you enjoy the party.

Happy Diwali! We are receiving so many delicious Diwali recipes this week at Fiesta Friday, I think I am going to have to have a Diwali party myself. I remember celebrating this festival when I lived in Delhi, and all these recipes bring back some very fond memories. I am very happy at the thought of recreating these delicacies here in another remote corner of the world. Many thanks for bringing these along to the party.
Nice to meet you Sandhya. you have a lovely blog here Your kids must be so happy and proud! 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words
A traditional favorite. Your ladoos look divine!

Hi Mira,
Somehow I have missed seeing that movie. Now after reading your comment, I am doubly excited to see it!
So nice to hear from you. Lets keep in touch and visit each other!
Sandhya
You have to watch that movie. That was the instant thought that came to my mind after going through your post.
Great going!
Mira,
Now I am really curious! I have to watch the movie. Will let you know after I see it:)
Sandhya
wow these look awesome! I hope you have a very happy diwali 🙂
Thank you so much Michelle for your kind words and your wishes for Diwali!
Deeeelish..😚
Thank you so much!
I love samosas! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Love how you plated it too. This post made me really hungry. 😀
Thank you so much for your kind words. Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
They look absolutely lovely! We are making similar looking biscuits around Christmas, but with completely different ingredients – funny world 😉
Happy Diwali!
Thanks Ginger. Thank you for following my blog too. I love seeing how similarly we all celebrate the different holidays too!
Lets keep on visiting each other!
Love,
Sandhya
Happy Diwali! Your dish looks perfect for a celebration!
Thank you so much! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Hi Sandhya, congratulations. I have nominated your beautiful blog for the Liebster Award. Head over to mine for more information.
Dear Mira,
Thank you so much! It is so nice to be appreciated. I feel so inspired and encouraged by this nomination!
Thank you for thinking of me and nominating me.
Love,
Sandhya
Sandhya, this a great recipe – very easy to make. I made the ghee in the microwave too, so I used a single bowl… less cleanup!
Thanks Pradnya. I am glad you liked the recipe. I saw the picture of your ladus and they look fantastic!
Making the ghee in the microwave is a good idea too but my experience with microwaves is that it works great in some and in others it splatters so much that the microwave clean up becomes a pain. Also to strain the ghee we need to transfer it to another bowl.
But I am so glad it worked for you!
Happy Diwali!
Happy Diwali to you. Nice to see you here at Fiesta Friday. 🙂 These are so adorable – too cute to eat. 😀
Happy Diwali to you too! Thank you for your sweet words. I wish I could stay away from those ladus saying they are cute:)
I am so happy to see you at Fiesta Friday too! I loved the Tawa Bhendi fry. Will definitely make it soon and want to check out Su’s Manglorean curry too,
Thank you. 🙂
Tempting laddus 🙂
I loved your Princess cakes! They are simply adorable! Not to mention gorgeous!
Aww.. Thank you Sandhya 🙂
Thank you so much!
Congrats!!

Dear Lisa,
Thank you so much for all your kind words .You,my dear friend have always supported and encouraged me and I truly appreciate that. I am looking forward to our coffee and chat.
Love,
Sandhya
Wow, love these laddos, I remember eating them as a kid. Your microwave short-cuts are a great idea, I’ll have to try making these at home, but I’m afraid I might not share them with anyone :). Happy Diwali!
Oh and what is the difference between ladu besan and plain besan flour?
Happy Diwali, Loretta! You will love these easy to make microwave laddoos that also use less ghee.
Laddoo besan is just a coarser ground besan. Mixing the two textures of besan gives it a nice grainy texture rather than the laddoos that stick to the roof of the mouth:)
Do let me know when you make them!
Wow, I love the colour combinations! great photo!
Thank you Liz! That is so sweet of you!
Congrats Sandhya!!! A well-deserved award! 🙂
And THANK YOU so much for nominating me! I’m flattered!
Thank you Katie! You deserve it too! So happy I could nominate you.
Love,
Sandhya
Good for you for allowing yourself to be distracted and so creative. Your guests will be delighted.
Thank you so much Hilda! It is fun to try something new, right? Your quince paste with cheddar cheese sounds absolutely yummy. what a perfect combination!
Hope that you are having a great week!
Love,
Sandhya
Very creative dish! Love the rose bud decoration! Xoxo~ Lena

Sanmdhya
Such a beautiful salad!
Thank you so much Ronit. I hope that you are enjoying your vacation.
Thank you, Sandhya. I really do – though I’m doing to much, I think I’ll need another vacation after this one! 😀
Yes, it’s totally mouthwatering and with a great presentation!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Liz. Your gorgeous baked breads have me drooling every time!
Love,
Sandhya
Your posts make me so hungry! That salad looks awesome.
Thank you so much Mara! I could relate to your post about books collecting dust on the night stand….and I don’t even have a baby now. My children are grown up but I am still so busy….which is all good…and like you said the books will get read. I read mine when I travel too.
Just gorgeous, love lassi, and yours has some amazing flavors going on. Love the photo too, just curious as to the camera you might have used?
Thank you Loretta. I love lassi and we enjoyed this one too. I don’t have a fancy camera, I use my Olympus SP 600UZ
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Sandhya
Is it a digital camera Sandhya?
Loretta, yes it is an old digital camera but I like it and am used to it.Thank you so much for the compliments.
I am just about to ask the same thing about the camera. 😀 Loretta is right, the photo is amazing. This lassi sounds refreshing as well and full of amazing flavors. Thanks for sharing and have a lovely weekend. 🙂
Thank you so much Jhuls! That is such a huge compliment coming from you and Loretta. You both have amazing food, recipes and pictures. I am a newbie at taking pictures but have always loved photography.
We loved the Pumpkin Ginger lassi and is going to be a regular drink ar our house for sure. I love the black and white twisted cookies you posted and also the deeper meaning in life you wrote about. Bravo to you for overcoming hardships and becoming the amazing person you are. You are so right, life does not always give us what we want. We all have to keep faith and keep moving forward.
Oh don’t mention it. It’s my pleasure to co- host. I am glad you liked my post as well. 🙂
Lovely as usual. What about pumpkin halwa?
Thank you so much Mira! Hmm…pumpkin halwa sounds luscious….but am trying to retrain myself after feasting during Diwlai:)
Have a great weekend!
Love,
Sandhya
Wow, I think that is the most beautiful salad I have ever seen, love all the vibrant colours, I can only imagine how delicious it must be -yum!
Thank you Lily! So sweet of you to say that. I do appreciate your kind words.
Beautiful and delicious little treats, thanks for sharing:)
Thank you Lily! I am astounded by your spiced banana and chocolate chip cake. It is a yummy work of art!
Until your post I wasn’t aware of Diwali, it sounds like a wonderful holiday. Thank you for sharing these traditional treats, they look delicious!
Thank you Liz ! I enjoyed reading your post too. I use a lot of cumin, coriander and turmeric in my Indian cooking. Your soup looks delicious!
I am going to make this, with pumpkin puree and plain yoghurt. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Liz,
That is what I had in mind too until I saw the non fat pumpkin Greek yogurt at Trader Joes. It will definitely be nice with pumpkin puree and plain yogurt as you will be able to put in as much of the pumpkin flavor as you like. Hope you like the flavor as much as we did.
Thank you!
Sandhya
Ginger lassi sounds an amazing treat for Halloween! Thanks for being at FF!
Thank you so much Margherita! I love butternut squash soup with coconut milk and your recipe with caramelized onions looks super delicious!
Thank you for posting it.
Sandhya
These are so pretty. I am bookmarking this recipe. can’t wait to try it asap 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words! I hope you like them as much as we did!
Love,
Sandhya
I made it this weekend and it came out great. A truly simplified traditional recipe.
Thank you Anjali! So happy to hear the review as you have tasted both the traditional and simplified version.
I love Lassi’s! Pumpkin and Ginger sound like an amazing combination for one!
Thank you Sarah. We really liked it. I am planning to make it again.
Sarah,
It does taste great!
I do love a chilli, this one looks good!
Thank you Lisa! It is my family’s favorite so I thought I will share it.
Thanks for the recipe! Home made recipe is usually the best!
Thank you so much Indah! Yes that is true because we can control what we want to put in.
Looks delicious and it sounds like it is perfectly seasoned…wonderful mix of spices!
Thank you Nancy! I truly appreciate the kind words. I am glad that you said it looks delicious because I was thinking how hard it is to make chili look good in pictures even when it tastes so good 🙂
\
I love the flavors you have combined in this lassi Sandhya, so perfect for fall! I love the rim! Fabulous 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words Naina! I went overboard with the rim as I like the taste of molasses a lot:) But it went really well with the fall flavors.
Sandhya
What a gorgeous soup!
Thank you so much, Sarah! Have a great weekend!
Sounds delicious – I love to shop at Trader Joe’s – they always have some interesting things. I am like you squash is hard to work with (hands and arms) and if I can microwave it makes me happy 🙂
Yes, me too! I love shopping at Trader Joes! When I went in, they were just getting the carnival and delicata squash and when they said microwavable, I was in! Plus I love the colors on the carnival squash.
Thank you for writing to me!
That is a beautiful squash, Sandhya…I’ve seen this variety in the store, yet never knew it’s name. Thanks for introducing us. 😉 The soup you created looks wonderful and I love the sounds of the flavor infused yogurt you dolloped on top as well! It must have been a delicious and warm bowl of goodness. Thanks for bringing your recipe to Fiesta Friday to share with all of the revelers!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Nancy. This is the first time I tried carnival squash and I am hooked now- both for how easy it is to cook it and its mellow ,sweet taste.
Welcome to Fiesta Friday Sandhya, I’m hope I’m not too late in welcoming you. Thanks for that brilliant soup recipe. I must confess like you, I too enjoy all types of squash this time of year, and you’ve certainly introduced us all to this variety. I like the dahl and pear ingredients that you added, I’m sure it gave it a unique flavor :).
Thanks Loretta for your kind words and for welcoming me! I really appreciate it.
I loved your post on the Goan bread pudding.I was drooling looking at the perfect caramel pictures. It is my husband’s favorite so am planning to make it this week!
This soup sounds delicious, and beautifully presented, so festive! Glad I found you at Fiesta Friday, hope you’re having a great weekend x
Thank you Michelle for your kind words! Your pictures of the meringues are just awesome! I love the taste and texture of meringues too and combining lemon and cardamom is such a clever idea!
I had a hectic but good weekend. Hope you had a great weekend too.
Love,
Sandhya
Homemade chili is such a great favorite any time of year. Being vegetarian, we make ours without the meat but your recipe looks and sounds so very delicious. thanks for stopping in
Thank you so much! I make a vegetarian one with the same spice mix too. I loved your beautiful and profound thought on Nirvana. So true! I completely believe in it.
This looks delicious!
Thank you so much, Indah!
Love it! I’m going to break out the sesame seeds!
Thank you Susan! Let me know how you like it.
Thanks for the follow! Your blog looks very imformative!
Thanks so much Jen!
*informative
Thank you so much for thinking of my blog. However, I decided long time ago to stay out of the whole blog award stuff, as it isn’t really my thing:)
I see..that’s what you use turmeric powder for:) As a matter of fact, I bought a sachet 6 month ago. It’s still in my cupboard as I had no idea what to do with it:)
Thanks Mitzee. You will see turmeric powder used in so many of my recipes. Let me know how you use yours in the sachet:)
Gorgeous colors, the essense of the fall season! I will try the rub on some squash I purchased at the farmer’s market yesterday. Thank you for the idea.
Hi Liz, Thank you! I love the colors and tastes of the fall season. The rub will taste good on squash. Let me know how you like it.
Looks delicious!
So glad you like it Ashwini! Did you check out the mashed sweet potatoes recipe posted for you?
Amazing idea of a fruit pulao! Mouth watering at 12 in the night. Not fair Sandhya!
😉 Thank you Mira ! I love this pulav and can eat it at midnight too:) Thought of you as I was shopping for a cross body bag yesterday.
Thanks….now u have made my day:)
Love how easy and elegant these look! I will have to give them a try.
Thank you! Please do try them. My family loved it! I hope yours does too.
Yum! Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Pam! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

Looks and sounds wonderful Sandhya!

Hi sandhya,
Happy New year! This seems like a delicious kheer. Will try it out soon. I love your one dish meal recipes like different wraps and salads. Healthy, flavorful and quick to make. May I request more of these recipes…
Hi Jui,
I am so glad to hear from you and your request. I will surely write more of those. With your two little ones, those will be easy for you.
I am in India but will write them when I get back
what a lovely dish to bring to the first fiesta of 2015! thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for hosting! I am honored to mingle with so many talented bloggers at the Fiesta!
Pleased you joned!
How beautiful Sandhya, I don’t think you need to take any more lessons, your photo is gorgeous, and your kheer sounds amazing! 🙂
Thank you so much Loretta! You are too kind!
Looks delicious! Even better is the fact that their baked! Definitely going to try this recipe. Thanks!
Thanks Beverly! I appreciate your kind words.
I always enjoy learning about different traditions and holidays through your blog! I love the positive nature behind Auspiciousness, and of course the almond kheer looks delicious. Thank you so much for bringing it to the fiesta; I’m sure it will be gone quite quickly. Happy 2015!
Thank you so much Kaila! I really appreciate the kind words.
Happy 2015 to you too!
Love this chilli recipe , perfect for winter and play-off season
Vineeta
Thank you Vineeta! This is a favorite in our house during football season too.
I love kheer, and almonds would make kheer even yummier. 🙂
Thank you so much Sadia!
Wow this looks delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe Sandhya!
Thank you so much!
Great ingredients in this dish Sandhya, although I must confess, I’ve never heard of zunaka. By the way, weren’t you the one asking about the Blogging 101 course? I’m so fully absorbed in it, there’s just a wealth of information out there, and best of all you get to meet some great folks from around the world. I’d highly encourage it, time permitting of course 🙂
Thank you so much Loretta for your kind words and for the information. I did start the Blogging 101 course after you sent me the information but have not been able to keep up. Will try to catch up!
This looks lovely! I love to read about family recipes and how they are handed down, with each generation adding a little change to make it work for them. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you Ginger! Yes I love heirloom recipes too! there is something so warm about the next generation enjoying the recipes that were handed down for so many generations before us.
Oh…. There is some thing so wonderful about hot Zunka on a cold winter day or rainy day. I have gone on many a trek around Maharashtra just for the Zunka, Bhakar and Thecha that is available at the end of the trek. 🙂
Aruna,
I love the zunka , bhakri and thecha too!
Nicely put Sandhya,
Wish you all the best. Keep cooking so our husbands get great food. I am in Mumbai please send me your number again. How is pappa doing??

Good luck with everything, sounds like fun! Xx
Thanks, Maria!
Love khau gallis – took me back to childhood 🙂
I know. I could live in a khau galli forever:)
Great job Sandhya, I was stumped with this one, my creative juices were at a standstill. I tried to embed a video and was having the hardest time, so let’s see if anyone helps me out. 🙂
I am so glad you told me about this course. I am enjoying the learning.
I’m glad you are Sandhya, there’s just so much to learn out there isn’t there? I have lived on WP all week I think. I was asked to do a guest post for tomorrow, plus I posted today on a delicious curry, and trying to keep up with the blogging assignments. Let me know what you think of the ingredients, it’s really quite lovely!
Yes there is a lot to learn for sure! I know what you mean by living on WordPress 🙂
I wrote a recipe yesterday and have to do one tomorrow.
Liked your coriander tomato chicken a lot!
Hi Sandhya,
Thanks for nominating my blog for Liebster award.
As I am new to blogging, I have no idea how this award is useful for new bloggers like me. Any idea what happens to those who win this award?
Please do share some information about this award.
Regards,
Sanjay Dhadwal
Sanjay,
I am not sure how the award works either. My blog isj ust 5 months old too. But I saw that the other bloggers display their awards on the front page, so figured it must be important to win some:)
You have a great blog so I nominated you.
that we have in common. love for food hehehe 😀 keep up the great work Sandhya! will look forward to it xx
Yes I LOVE food too:)
Woow egg pulao! That would be nice. Never made pulao with egg. Must try. 🙂
Thank you so much Sadia for your kind words. Do let me know how you like it.
So beautiful, I’ve seen a couple of egg curried dishes just this past week, and your egg pulao looks like something I would love to try. Great job! 🙂
Thank you so much, Loretta! You are so kind.
I’ve never made this before, looks like another winner 🙂
Thank you so much Sarah!
I’ve never had this and it looks fantastic. I love that it’s made with ingredients I almost always have on hand. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
That look amazing 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Egg pulao looks delicious:-)
Thank you so much Vidya!

Thank you so much Reji!
This looks so delicious! So glad I found your blog 😉
Thank you so much, Nina! I am so glad that you stopped by. You have an awesome blog which is helping so many young children. Great work!
Thanks for your kind words Sandhya!
Hi Sandhya, thanks for stopping by. Your blog looks so delicious, I’m going to have to give my hand a try at some of your recipes!
Thank you Stephanie! You have an awesome blog and I especially loved the snicker doodles. My son loves them, so will make them soon.
This sounds so good and I especially love that it has caramelized onions in it! 🙂
Thanks Nancy! I love caramelized onions too!
I’m not sure I’ve heard of this festival, mind you my knowledge of Indian festivals is very poor, I think I just know about Diwali :). Love ladoos and love jaggery, I’m sure this was a great combination with the sesame seeds too.
Yes Loretta, the sesame seeds and jaggery make an absolutely addictive combination…..writing this as I stuff some more of the tilgul in my mouth:)
Happy Makar Sankrant, Sandhya 🙂
Thank you so much, Linda!
These sound delicious!
Thank you so much!
Those look delicious! I love parathas!💜
yummm….
Thank you Mira!
This looks yummy!
Thank you for the follow and your kind words!
One of my favourite meals!
Thank you Aruna!
I love Diwali – admittedly for the fairy lights and the yummy treats my colleagues bring! These look delicious; does the ghee keep well in the fridge if you make it yourself?
Yes I pour it off in a covered container and store it in the refrigerator for a month or so. Since it takes only a few minutes to make it, I make it one or two sticks at a time. I love the aroma and taste of fresh ghee:)
Thank you so much! I love Diwali too!
This looks amazing!! And yes, one pot meals are such lifesavers 😀
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much.
