For sindhis, Holi means going crazy over sweets like Praghree, Gheear, Malpura etc. The recipe of typical Sindhi sweet, Praghree, the crispy layered pastry stuffed with Khoya, is already shared here, while that of malpura is here Last year I tried making gheear too but my attempts went into vain, when the under- fermented batter refused to turn into slim pearly droplets that bind…

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…

Choco Banana Delight

Summer being officially in, its time for School Vacation here in India. Vacation….sounds Music to my ears…No morning rush, no Tiffin worries and no studies-related stress. But then vacation do mean, keeping your little one, fruitfully occupied. Computer games, Television are good for just a limited period of time, though kids beg to differ on that.And it needs to be a real courageous Mother to let the kid play outdoors during afternoons, when Sun is all set (or rose to?) to make life miserable,with all its sultriness. So while mornings and evenings are good for some outdoor activities, afternoons are…
