I am always fascinated by Gujarati dishes, some are rich and some are very simple. Gujarati dishes have such cute names too, dhokla, khandvi, handvo, undhiyo, thepla etc. I have always loved khandvi and it was one of the first Gujarati dishes I tried a long time ago. These are so soft and flavourful, I can imagine gulping down a few right now.
Khandvi is made with a simple besan and curd batter, cooked till smooth. This batter is then spread out on a plate and topped with freshly grated coconut and coriander leaves. This is then cut into long strips and rolled into a small roll. On top, goes a simple flavourful tadka making khandvi delicious and ready to serve. ... “Khandvi | Besan Khandvi | Gujarati Recipes”

Many times you need something in the morning which is just warm and comforting. Whatever the weather is, you always feel like eating something soothing to the gut. But obviously we would like something that is not bland. This Maharashtra special, ukad or ukadpendi is one such dish, delicious, simple and easy to make.
Ukadpendi has a thick porridge like consistency. It consists of rice flour and besan mixed with buttermilk mixture. To make ukadpendi delicious roasted groundnuts are added on top with a simple tadka to finish with. To make it extra tasty I add a bit of amchur powder, red chilli powder and turmeric for a nice golden yellow colour. ... “Ukadpendi | Ukad | Breakfast Recipes”

Recipes of dosas which do not involve a whole lot of ingredients to soak and grind are my favourite kind of dosas. Majjige dosa or buttermilk dosa is one of those kind of dosas. Simple, light dosas, these are easy on the stomach too!
Making majjige dosa involves only 3 main simple ingredients, rice, poha, buttermilk. Although this dosa batter needs fermentation, you can easily get away with fermenting the batter for only a few hours(3-4). ... “Majjige Dosa | Buttermilk Dosa | Dosa Recipes”

Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread | Mexican style cornbread

Soft, moist cornbread with pop-in the mouth corn niblets

Generally most of us eat regular white bread or nowadays health conscious people eat whole wheat bread. But did you know that different countries especially like India, Mexico, Italy, France have their own specialty breads. In India, of course we have rotis, phulkas, chapathis, kulchas, naans, yes, the list is endless. Similarly in Mexico they have different types of bread like tortillas, corn bread etc. They are a corn loving nation and their corn tortillas are so good!
Corn bread is a very different bread and unique in taste. It is so moist and soft almost like a cake that it can be served just on its own without anything on the side. Here I have served it with guacamole, a Mexican condiment like our chutney. Corn bread has these pop-in the mouth corn niblets with tiny puddles of corn sweetness filled in them. Yum, to say the least! ... “Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Bread | Mexican style cornbread”

Mango Lassi | How to make mango lassi?

Thick creamy mango lassi

Chilled mango lassi on a hot afternoon sounds too good. Lassi is a very thick yogurt based drink with lots of cream/malai floating on top. Instead of adding thick full fat yogurt I have added very thick buttermilk and a little yogurt/curd for flavour. It will taste very good especially with mango and there is no compromise with flavour.
