On the eve of Janmashtami, I thought of making another panjiri or barfi(fudge) of dry-fruit called Phool Makhane (foxnuts) for Kanhaji.I called it “Marble barfi” becuase of the texture and amazing look of this classy fudge.

I know in this fast-paced modern life, everything including Mawa/Khoya is available in stores,which could be easily consumed to prepare your sweets. But what if you want a customized version of it ;),which is east to prepare and consume.
Sometimes , a simple recipe could bring in the flavor and taste of India. In India ,we have a proverb which goes ,” kya kaddu me teer maar diya” which means that you have done an easy job and yet you wish to be applauded for the deed.
Aloo Matar or Peas-potato is one of the easiest and suitable side with Pooris,Naans and parathas(Indian Breads). It is a spicy curry with a few ingredients.
This Tri-color (orange-white-green) Souffle is one dish which could be made individually as well as in a combined form like this. I made this souffle for the Independence day meet-up organized by Anita Mokashi.
> > > “Poori” the word itself is enough to bring a craveable thought in your mind. I always thought that making pooris is very tough ,especially since it involves deep frying.
> > > Green dip(Hari chutney) is an easy and versatile recipe. Every state in India has its own style to make this chutney. Like in North ,ginger and tomato are essential; in west peanuts,raw mango are essential; in south coconut water/ powder is essential ; in east green chillies are essential.
Who doesn’t like Aloo tikki chaat/ Ragda petis?? Weakness of every woman ;)…So when it comes to preparing at home you hate it, because of the time consumed and exact taste.
Eggless banana cake is a health-packed light yummy dessert which is ready in just 5 mins!! Yes, quite unbelievable.. But if you have a microwave, a sweet tooth and some over-riped or riped bananas ,then just go ahead and enjoy your evening with this delicious spongy cake.
