Sultry summers are gone here in Mumbai and monsoon showers have knocked the parched earth, giving a sigh of relief, from dusty, sweaty, nasty heat of summer. However, I’ll miss some of my favorite summer things, like making falooda icecream, chilled mangoshakes, jaljeera and of course chilled masala chaach (buttermilk). One more food that associates me with summer afternoons is Dhodho, which is a type of flatbread, made from rice flour.It’s bit sticky, light, not too much spicy yet it serves as a delicious accompaniment with any veggie or Dal and I just love to wash it down with…

Half of the visitors arriving here would run away, for sure, after reading the name of this post…..Coz; that’s a normal reaction I expect from people who just can’t stand the bitterness of karela (bittergourd). But this post is for those other half, who will stay and would actually read the recipe…Kudos for them(bravo !). This is the simplest, basic recipe for making bittergourds and a bit of modification, like adding sliced potatoes, would actually save you from making additional dish for those fussy eaters who refuse to even have a look at these” bitter wonders”. They can enjoy potatoes…

Methi or fenugreek leaves, is one of my personal favourite and I always like to relish it with some really hot khichdi, or plain rice.Though bitter, Ilike the flavour it imparts to any dish, be it methi patata (potatoes) or methi paneer (cottage cheese).Even the dried methi leaves called kasuri methi holds a special position in my kitchen, since I use it in all various curries and gravy based preparations Here is a simple recipe to convince fussy eaters ,who throw tantrums when served green veggies, since it is made along with potatoes .And I am yet to come across…

Sev Batata Puri This is a typical street food that is happily hogged by Sindhis. After panipuri , this is most yummy Chaat (savories) and its really simple to assemble it. Honestly speaking I belong to that greedy- type- of- people -genre who wants to participate in every food event held in blogosphere. So this time it’s gonna be an entry for multiple events (sorry guys, I dont wanna miss any one !) Dhai (dahi or curd) sev (crispy fried gramflour snacks, also called Nylon sev…eeeks) puri (crisp small, fried discs made from all purpose flour or maida) is…

This mango jam or as we call it MURBA in sindhi, is a jam like preparation, made from raw mangoes and this is my entry for WBB# 22 Mango madness. Mango….It is hard to describe what does a mango means to a Mango-eccentric person like me.Those who knows what does eating a ripe, juicy, sweet Alphonso means, surely knows what does heaven means. We in India, specially in Mumbai are blessed to have such a great variety of mangoes.Alphonso, Badam, Totapuri, Rajapuri, Daseri, Langda…..you name it,we get it here in Mumbai.No childhood have grown without sucking those tangy Kacha Kairis…
