I have always been fascinated by the richness of Mughlai food. The use of milk, cream, dry fruits is just so perfect to enhance the taste of any cuisine.. even if it is a humble Aloo / Potato. The word Nawaabi itself defines royalty and richness. And if its a Nawaabi Aloo then one can easily imagine how royal the dish must be…with hell lot of ingredients …. right? Well the dish i made today is indeed rich but i tried to keep is as simple as i can. The ingredients used are easily available at home and the blend…

Chole Bhature is an absolutely decadent treat that is a must-try if u are a Punjabi food lover … It is one of many Punjabi specialties. It is also something I cook less often. Only because of a personal preference for Rajma (red kidney beans). Over the years, I have tried many recipes for chole recipes till i had my very own recipe, that is a family pleasure now.

Corn Marbles are one of the most wanted snack in my home. My son often nags for some hotel type snack which he can enjoy at home. Like any other kid even he is fond of all fried stuff. So i chose to make one at home instead of getting something ready made. Corn Marbles are tasty , crunchy oval shaped potato balls filled with corns, peas and pea nuts. The sewai coating makes it scrumptious and i make kids fall in love with the marbles. The corn marbles are again an easy option for kid’s tiffin boxes.

Today i tried my hands on the famous Galouti Kebabs of Lucknow. ‘Galouti’ or ‘Galawati’ means melt in the mouth. And definitely these kebabs melt in your mouth.Their is an interesting history of these Galouti kebabs. This kebab was especially created for the ageing Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Lucknow. The Nawab had lost all his teeth. But his passion for meat remained intact. So, this melt in the mouth kebab was prepared in his royal kitchens to satisfy the Nawab’s love for meat. The Galouti kebabs are traditionally prepared by marinating the finely ground goat meat with raw papaya…

Usually Malai Kofta is all about Paneer koftas stuffed with dry fruits and cream. But i thought of adding a lil twist in the koftas specially. Had few peas, one cauliflower and some beans left in my fridge. So just added them in the koftas to make it more rich. Interesting..? Malai kofta is ready to be served. Serve hot with Butter Naan or Tandoori Roti.

Mutter Ki kachori happens to be the most favorite North Indian snack during the winters. Unlike those regular lentil and spice stuffed kachoris, the mutter kachori is filled with a spicy green pea filling and is served with tangy tamarind chutney and also with bedmi aloo ki sabzi at various places in North India. If you liked this Indian snack recipe, then try making it at home and share your feedback with me in comments below 🙂

Mutton Keema slow cooked with freshly choppe fenugreek leaves and green pea is a typical winter delicacy that is cooked in my house almost every weekend. The mutton keema along with some fried potatoes and methi matar gives an amzing flavor and texture to the dish. It not just increases the volume but also gives a bite to the dish. Teamed up with hot chapatis/rumali rotis or just plain white rice, Keema Methi Aloo Matar is a must have in winters. If you liked this recipe, please drop in your feedback in comments below. Thanks for stopping by!

The world whole is talking about NO WASTAGE of Food. This reminds me of a quote “If every single human being on this planet had enough food, it would change our societies. It would stop wars, put an end to suffering and even change the course of human history.” Imagine if every child, man and woman on this planet had enough food. Imagine what it would do to our human civilization. If every single human being on this planet had enough food, it would change our societies. It would stop wars, put an end to suffering and even change the…
