Comfort food-Poha(beaten rice) spiced with Methkut
I was feeling a bit under the weather for the past few days. The wet rainy days did not help to lift up my spirits. Elaborate cooking took a back seat and it was time for some quick easy meals. Poha (beaten rice) is a must-have ingredient for all Maharashtrian pantries. It is a regular item on the ‘essential items’ in the monthly grocery list. Poha is a handy ingredient when you have unexpected guest, you are pressed for time, need a quick meal or when you want some comfort food! The modest Poha is dressed up here with a…

Like many fusion recipes in my kitchen I love to sprinkle some Chutney Podi on my Phodnichi Poli…

My kitchen has been witnessing a lot of experiments these days thanks to some challenging events going in the blogosphere. (I have become a slave to these Blog -events now!) This time I am traveling all the way to the Middle East to Egypt-All thanks to Glenna of A Fridge Full of Foods. We are in search of ‘Ethnic Dishes’and she has asked us ‘to make a dish from a culture, country, or ethnicity other than our…
