Gheear~Sindhi style Jalebi

March 13, 2014

Holi, the spring festival of India, is around the corner.With just few days remaining in the festival of colours, many people asked for the recipe of traditional Holi sweet of Sindhis, Gheear or the jumbo jalebi.

Kesar Pista kulfi

February 11, 2014

I often wonder, what it is that make certain food so evocative, decades later? The smell of besan being roasted, triggers the memories of my mother making Sindhi Kadhi on weekends. The sight of corn on the cob, being roasted on charcoal, reminds me of the monsoon evenings, when a lime with salt and chili powder rubbed over a hot corn on the cob, would turn it into a most delightful after- school snack. The luscious mulberries, takes my mind back to those vacation days, when me and my cousins would climb on the half wall to pluck the juicy…

Semolina Pudding Using STAR Ghee|Product Review

March 27, 2013

Ghee, the clarified butter, a controversial ingredient in Indian kitchens, is often criticized by weight watchers and figure conscious people due to the calories it impart. But it’s hard to ignore the medicinal and healing qualities of pure ghee. The debate could go on, discussing the pros and cons of using Ghee, but then, I prefer using white butter and ghee for slathering the parathas, for my kid, as children would gain health benefits too, along with calories. Cow ghee is hands down winner when compared to buffalo ghee, in terms of texture, colour, fat content, and healing properties. So…

Praghree| Deep Fried Crunchy layered Puffs|Sindhi Sweet

January 8, 2013

Praghree (Praghri/Pragri), a deep fried crunchy, layered puff stuffed with Khoya/mawa, is a seasonal delicacy, made only during Holi Festival ( Indian Festival of colours). Rarely will you find these crunchy, sticky delights during rest of the year. Very high in calories but an addictive sweet, Praghree have many fans; specially from Sindhi Community. Almost every Sindhi sweet shop will stock this around Holi and generally there are two varieties of it. One is stuffed with Khoya and other with Chabu Halwo (cornflour pudding/Bombay Karachi halwa). This fascinating sweet could be made at home, but you need to have a…

Seyun Patata|Sweet vermicelli with Potatoes

June 13, 2012

I can visualize many health conscious people, cringing at the food in the plate in above picture…but well yeah, Seyun i.e vermicelli cooked in desi ghee and sugar syrup, served with fried potatoes is relished by Sindhis for Breakfast.The sweet and savory flavors are a delight to eat, and though nothing much to say about the health (or unhealthy) quotient of this dish, I am not ashamed or afraid to say, I like this traditional combination of sweet sevaiyan with fried potatoes. Seyun Patata is almost mandatory to cook and offer to Brahmins during Shraadh (A Hindu ritual observed across…
