Aloo Bhaji and Puri


            Puri bhaji or poori bhaji is a breakfast or a snack served all over the India. But this is a traditional breakfast in north India. Each region serves different type of potato bhaji (subzi /curry). Puri is fried indian bread made with wheat flour or white flour called maida in India. Bhaji is always made with potato though the making is different in every region.
           South India will surprise you with little dry bhaji and for the lovely crunch they add little urad dal (black skinless lentils) and chana dal (chickpeas lentils). if you go to Delhi then it will be served with greavy and it will come with spiced curds (yoghurt) or pickel or even a papad and salad. West Bengal will add curds (yoghurt) as greavy. Puri bhaji is so versatile and inexpensive that is is served every where. Even on railways platform to enjoy as a snack or for passengers as a to go lunch. Many people choose poori bhaji over modern cereal breakfast or Western food items. Even kids love puri bhaji too.
             Once on the way of Washington DC, USA we stopped by a restaurant called Amma kitchen thay served us a lovely puri bhaji. Most of the restaurants have this dish in their menu as it's popularity and delicious taste. 
Do try this full filling complete dish, but make sure you don't order other dish before you finish with Puri bhaji.
Happy eating foodies!!!😊

Varan Fal

papad               This lockdown blessed me a long stay at my hometown. Beautiful childhood memories, simple homemade food and long chat with neighbours who are family now!

And this trick worked always.. 😉                Varan fal is one of the comfort dish I always adore. This is something special because every house has it's own version of Varan fal. Today my Aunt made varan fal for me, so how can I forgot this dish to share with you!              Basic preparations are same in each recipe, just spices or the way of making is varies. My Aunt makes it with mix lentils like toor dal (pigeon pea), chana dal ( Split chickpea), moong dal ( yellow split mung) Urad dal ( Split black gram) are pressure cooked together with turmeric and salt calld var

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 coconut, dried red chilli, garlic, onion, poopy seeds, sesame seeds are roasted on a flame, then kanda lasun masala with roasted spices
