A comeback to blogging after a long hiatus (really long) is difficult. As I sit here at my table and type I am trying to find inspiration from the innumerable food photos I have clicked and the efforts that went into it. Trying to find words and ideas to write a good introduction to this post after a long time makes me think about those initial days of blogging 2016. Now that little ‘S’ is at school full time I will be able to give time to food blogging. It’s been so long and here we are going to learn a very simple dish, sweet saffron rice or meethe chawal. ... “Meethe Chawal | Saffron Rice | Kesar Pulao”

Who doesn’t love a piece of well made soft cake! I am yet to meet someone who does not like cakes. Cakes are made in different ways with different flavours all over the world. Birthdays and celebrations are incomplete without cakes. So today we are going to learn to make eggless mawa cake, it’s my take of the very famous Parsi mawa cake.

Summer season in many places is the season of fresh sweet berries and fuzzy peaches and nectarines. I am no expert in making fine desserts nor do I like them very much. I prefer rustic handmade desserts which feel more wholesome and homely. Italian cuisine definitely is all for such dishes. So this peach and blackberry crostata is the answer to represent those dishes.
Peach and blackberry crostata is basically a simple and rustic pie filled with the most fun filling. The best part is making the crust and the crumble topping. It’s a very nice process and tastes oh so delicious because of the butter 🙂 The important part to remember is to use cold butter and cold water to get a flaky crust. ... “Peach And Blackberry Crostata | Dessert Recipes”

This’s not much of a recipe to follow. It is a reminder to those folks who used to save money to go buy this delicious dessert during your school/college days. ‘Banana split’ is nostalgia, it will make you want to go and make it now!

Mango season means fresh mango recipes on Food Of Interest. Throughout the year I am on the look out for nice mango recipes which I can make when the mango season arrives. I dream about mangoes imagining the recipes and how they will turn out when I actually make them. Such is the power of mangoes, the ‘king of fruits’. So this time after last week’s raw mango jam recipe, here I am, with a frozen mango yogurt or mango froyo recipe.
Mango froyo has a few simple items, ripe mangoes, fresh thick whisked yogurt. To balance the flavours, there is fresh lime juice and lime zest and some honey to sweeten things up a bit. The creamy mangoes blend into the creamier yogurt. You then get the sour notes of the zest and juice of lime with the honey rounding up all the sharp flavours. ... “Mango Froyo | Frozen Mango Yogurt | Mango Recipes”

This month, March’19 Food Of Interest completes 3 full years. I did post the 1st post on March 4th 2016 but I would like to think March and April 2016 were the founding months of FOI.

With over 15K users per month I thank my readers for trying my recipes 🙂 So here it is and to make it even more statistically special, the 400th post on FOI, on a sweet note with “Basundi“.
