Tawa Pulao






Tawa pulao is my favourite dish to make whenever I am board with regular rice dish and  if I don't want to cook. The process looks time consuming but no other pulao is quicker than tawa pulao. 
This is street side vendors make this pulao. They use huge iron tawa (griddle) to make pav bhaji, masala pav, and tawa pulao. Basically they mix pre boild vegetables in to cooked plain white rice with lots of tomato and pav bhaji masala. Hence this is also known as tomato pulao or pav bhaji pulao. Nice aromatic tummy filling dish is served with raita or even plain yoghurt, even can be enjoyed alone itself.
The basic pulao is made only with vegetables but now days paneer (cottage cheese) or chopped eggs can be added as per demand.
I did not find tawa pulao out of India at any restaurant but at India you will find this everywhere. You will see pav bhaji vendors making lots of spoon noise on their huge tawa and spreading the aroma of tawa pulao and Pav bhaji. You can guess from miles that someone is making tawa pulao by it's aroma.
The recipe is so simple and quick even you can try it at home. Just buy pav bhaji masala from Indian grocery store or any Asian store. Try it out I am sure you will love this simple to make aromatic rice dish.
Happy eating foodies!!! 😊

Crispy Millet bhakri with brinjal curry.

             Summer is round the corner and this menu poped up in my mind. This is one of the special menu for me. Dharwadi bhakri, kala masla vangi bhaji, kairichi chatni. My neighbour auntie introduced this lip smacking crunchy flatbread to me. This flatbread is called Dharwadi bhakri, means crunchi millet flatbread which belongs to Bidar. Maharashtra and Karnataka border is called Bidar.                    Millet flatbreads are popular accross India. But this dharwadi bhakri is little different as it can be stored for months. Usually me & my daughter like this with special peanut chutney made in mortar and pestle with perticular type of peanuts called Solapuri peanut.                   Vangyachi bhaji is brinjal curry made with special spices paste which is dark in colour that's why it is called kala masala. Kala means black. Dry cocon...

Mirch ke Tipore

                      Mirchi ke Tipore, basically less spicy green pepper's side dish. This is one of the most favorite side dish even my 6 year old loves a lot. So you can guess the hotness of the peppers.                         This dish I came across when I was scrolling through some random videos. Name itself is so catchy so I started my search. After watching tons of recipe video and talking to my mom I figured out the authentic recipe and it was a real hit. It can be a delicious option to any boring day when you don't feel like cooking lengthy 4 course meal. Few easily available spices like funnel seeds, cumin seeds, dry mango powder, salt, red chilli (paprika) powder, lemon juice, and oil. Just roast all seeds and coarsely grind it. Heat oil add all powder with turmeric, red pepper, asafetida, dry mango powder and add freshly cut chillis. Mix it and cook it just for...
