Chicken Pakoras

Chicken Pakoras

Chicken pakoras are chicken mixed with besan (gram flour), spices, and yogurt. Boneless chicken pieces are always available in my kitchen because they are easy and quick to cook, and there is a wide variety of recipes for boneless chicken. I recently prepared Dhaka Chicken […]

Paneer Masala Dhaba Style

Paneer Masala Dhaba Style

This dish is a result of nostalgia. I had my dhaba adventures during my college years. My favorites were aloo parathas with achar and onions, veg and paneer kadhai, and phulkas. Every dish at a Dhaba is AMAZING! This Dhaba Style Paneer Masala recipe is […]

Keema Karela

Keema Karela

Like I’ve said before, I enjoy dishes that combine meat with vegetables. Karela (bitter gourd) is a vegetable with ‘mixed feelings’. You’d detest it if you have it by itself, and you’d enjoy if you combine it with different ingredients and spices that compliments its […]

Gosht Lababdar / Mutton Lababdar

Gosht Lababdar / Mutton Lababdar

I don’t if I’ve had this dish anywhere but I testify that Mutton Lababdar lives up to its name. Lababdar (apparently) means “a strong desire to indulge”. I admit that the recipe is extensive and calls for every possible ingredient in the kitchen but cook […]

Dhaka Chicken

Dhaka Chicken

Given the name, I’m assuming Dhaka Chicken is a popular dish in Bangladesh. It’s that time of the year – Ramadan/ Ramzan – when I’m constantly looking for appetizer recipes for Iftar especially with boneless chicken since it cooks quickly. I tried Dhaka Chicken for […]

Curry Leaf Mutton Curry (Curry Patta Gosht)

Curry Leaf Mutton Curry (Curry Patta Gosht)

Curry Patta Gosht gives me the South Indian vibes. Perhaps because curry leaves are native to South India and a staple ingredient in almost every dish. You can try this recipe with chicken as well or give it a vegetarian spin with paneer. I’ve cooked […]

Moong Dal Dahi Vadas

Moong Dal Dahi Vadas

Here is an instant dahi vada recipe which is more like a magic wand – give it a swirl and you’d have a chaat snack on your table. I’m serious! Blend the moong dal, fry pakoda-style, and pour seasoned yogurt. Of course, if you have […]

Aloo Gajar Matar Sabzi (Potatoes-Carrots-Peas)

Aloo Gajar Matar Sabzi (Potatoes-Carrots-Peas)

Aloo Gajar Matar sabzi is packed with nutrition from 3 different vegetables – potatoes, carrots, and peas. I do enjoy dishes that have an assortment of vegetables. They are colorful and have an interesting combination of flavors. Not to forget, the color therapy those vegetables […]

Whole Masoor Dal

Whole Masoor Dal

I’m on a dal adventure nowadays, given the 2020 lockdown. Some click, some don’t. So I’m going to share dal recipes that I enjoyed. My daughter and I are pure non-vegetarians so if we love it, it’s definitely a must-try for you. Now, I like […]

Achari Bhindi

Achari Bhindi

I stumbled upon this dish during my extensive search on the Internet for a bhindi recipe that’s different from the usual. I decided to try this recipe because I had the store-bought Achar Gosht Masala at home which meant ‘convenient cooking’. If you don’t have […]
