Making Potato Capsicum Curry with Panch Phoron Exploring other cuisine and learning their spices is always fun and interesting too. During last April month marathon, I saw my fellow bloggers posting recipes from Bengali cuisine featuring this panch phoron spices. To be honest, that marathon was my main source of inspiration and I started exploring recipes from Bengal. Slowly, I started to try the recipes and modified some to suit our taste buds and started to post them in my blog too....

Classic French Profiteroles It’s pronounced “pruh-fit-uh-rohl”, in case you were wondering. Wanted to get that out of the way so you don’t go around embarrassing yourself by calling them “profit-rolls” like I did for longer than I’d care to admit 😂 Are you familiar with them? These French treats consist of crisp pastry shells filled with frosty vanilla ice cream and topped off with warm, thick ganache. They originated in France during 16th century and have been a beloved dessert around the world ever since (for obvious reason, I think)....

We are starting a new week of blogging marathon today and my theme for this week is ‘Scandinavian Recipes’. They shortlisted about 5~6 few recipes I really wanted to try, but didn’t have the time to make what I wanted to make 🙁 But I did get to make some new dishes that I enjoyed quite a bit. So first up is this quick and easy Scandinavian Beet Potato Salad....

Theme: Bookmarked Recipes Dish: Semolina Bread from Sandhya’s My Cooking Journey My theme for the final week of this month’s marathon is ‘bookmarked recipes’. It is almost impossible to pick just 3 dishes from my ever growing list of bookmarks, so I narrowed my search to just breads. After the month long mega baking marathon from April, I have many breads and other baked goodies bookmarked – I thought this will be the beginning of many I tried from those....

My obsession with this cake goes beyond words. This cake is more than just cake; it is the fleeting joys of life embodied in baked goods. It is catching fireflies at twilight and letting them go, it is flashing a newly-minted driver’s license to the bartender for your first legal drink, it is a first crush and the first shy brush of your lips against theirs. It is delightful and innocent and as ephemeral as summertime itself feels in the dead of winter....

Typically, it’s served with roti or eaten along with a variety of chutneys. Soya chaap is an excellent meat substitute and blends well with all kinds of dishes. It’s made by grinding soybeans or soy chunks, mixing them, and then coating them in all-purpose flour....

The Best Pancake Recipe Buttermilk pancakes are an American classic breakfast food, but despite their unfussy ingredient list, too often people grab for the box mix because it’s just “easier”. Too many home bakers have struggled with dense, flat, or rubbery pancakes, or ones that have charred exteriors, raw centers, or are just all-around lacking in flavor. Today we’re going to fix that with my favorite, fool-proof buttermilk pancake recipe. While you’d be hard-pressed to find a truly complicated buttermilk pancake recipe, many recipes sadly leave out important tips and tricks that can make or break your breakfast....

These cookies bring back such memories for me. They’re most well-known as gingersnaps but we’ve always called them ginger sparkles. Because they sparkle! And who doesn’t need a little sparkle in their life? My mom has made them for years, every year, as long as I can remember. My aunt could live on them. I think she’d be perfectly happy if they were her only gift every year, for every occasion....

This is one of my favorite Ethiopian dishes that I make frequently. It is a simple one pot dish with cabbage, potatoes and carrots. This is traditionally served with Injera. But I serve it with even rice or roti. I love Ethiopian food. The spices used in this cuisine are very similar to Indian cuisine. Which makes the flavors in the dishes familiar to our taste buds. This is a simple, everyday dish that can be made in about 20 minutes....

My husband recently has been asking me to make salad for lunch and dinner. I love salads but I wasn’t sure how it would taste when packed for lunch.

I always have a bag of broccoli slaw in the fridge....

I haven’t explored Japanese cuisine much. I have tried only the California sushi rolls with avocado and cucumber and Teriyaki Tofu. And I know it’s not the authentic Japanese sushi rolls and recipes, but that’s the only veggie option I get here. You can find my version of Teriyaki Tofu here. Even though I haven’t explored the cuisine much, I have tried their sauces like mirin, tamari, and teriyaki and of course wasabi....

If cookies were characters in a royal court (because why not), these vanilla bean cookies with their chocolate ganache fillings would be your ladies in waiting. The standard cast of royalty is pretty well recognized: you have your kings, your princes, and even your jesters, but your ladies in waiting are often overlooked in favor of something richer. But, as pretty and reserved, as they may be, these ladies simply aren’t going to sit quietly in the shadow of the queen any longer....
