Aamrakhand (Mango Shrikhand)

The king of fruits...Mango, has arrived in its full glory. Different sizes, shapes and hues of yellow to lure one and all.
Mango is such a versatile fruit that it tastes good on its own as well as when used to create desserts or savories.
Aamrakhand is a take on classic Shrikhand. This is an easy peasy but super yummm dessert. All you need is hung curd , some jaggery powder and mango pulp.

Wonderful dessert to try now that Strawberries are in season.

Strawberry Yoghurt is flavoursome and makes a good dessert. It is ideal to serve as breakfast with a topping of cereal and nuts.

Season's first!!

Sarson ka Saag

Come winter and we wait for Sarson ( Mustard Leaves). Who doesn't want to indulge in Saag and Makki ki roti.( Maize Flour flat bread).
Sarson da Saag and Makki ki roti have gained iconic status in our country. Thes are eaten during winters only. Taste good with homemade butter. The more the better.
Each household in Punjab has its own recipe for saag. I make no claims of my recipe being an authentic one. I have learnt it from my sister who is married into a Punjabi Family.

Dal Palak

Dal Palak

Masoor dal or Red Lentils are power packed with nutrients and have immeasurable health benefits. It doesn't need soaking and gets cooked in just one whistle in pressure cooker.
Red Lentil is available as split dal and whole also. I somehow prefer the whole one.
In winters I enjoy this dal with spinach, making it even more nutritious.
Today I served it with Bajra Rotis(Pearl Millet flat bread).
You can also make this dal without onion and garlic. Trust me ,it tastes equally good.

Mooli ki Bhuji

Mooli ki Bhuji



My son recently suggested to me that I should blog
about simple sabzis dry as well as gravy. Students like him really struggle when they want to make typical ghar ka khana.
Sharing the second recipe in the series .

This is dedicated to students staying away form home, newlyweds and freshers in the kitchen.

Best radish is found during winter months. The tender , crispy leaves crowning white radish always becon me. These leaves when cooked with radish make a delicious dry sabzi.
It's best to boil them slightly. Reduces the sharpness slightly and reduces cooking time also.
My recipes are mildly spicy. So increase the chili powder as per your taste.

Bhapa Doi Cheesecake with Strawberry Coulis



Bhapa Doi is a popular dessert and is equally easy to make. You can add various flavours to it. Here I have tried to do a fusion and created a cheesecake out of it.
I have topped it with strawberry coulis which kind of balances the sweetness of the cheesecake. You can use any berry coulis.
Keep the coulis slightly tart
