This is one of the most adorable breads I have baked! These supersoft , flavourful,festive Spiced Pumpkin Bread rolls are just in time for Thanksgiving- whether you celebrate or not 🙂 Aparna aptly chose these for the our monthly bread baking group-We knead to Bake. Thank you Aparna, I had so much fun making them. As gorgeous as they look, they are quiet easy to make. Apart from looking like mini pumpkins, these rolls use Pumpkin puree too. I followed Aparna’s recipe without making any changes.I made my own pumpkin puree, since canned is not available here. Also I used…

Happy Diwali! and a recipe for Fresh Figs with Lychee Honey – Nut Shrikhand
If you are looking to prepare some non-traditional, quick dessert this Diwali, here’s a refreshing guilt free dessert; Figs with Lychee Honey -Nut Shrikhand. Fresh Figs which are in season now, are paired with homemade low calorie version of Shrikhand, using Honey and mixed Nut Chikki. I have used Lychee Honey since I had it on hand, but you can use any Honey you like. This was a super hit in my house even with the kids!
Fast Food- Orange glazed baby Sweet Potatoes and Plantain
I don’t usually observe any religious fasts. The popular local fasting food-Sabudana does not agree with me much.

While growing up, my mom often made these ‘Ratalyache Kaap’ (pan fried Sweet Potatoes with jaggery). I don’t have a sweet tooth and I find them too sweet for my…
Modur Pulav for Regional Indian Home cooking series#1- a guest post by Anshie of Spice Roots
We are celebrating Nine years of Homestyle cooking at My Foodcourt! I have always been fascinated by the variety of the regional delicacies cooked in Indian homes. When I started blogging, we had a few events like the RCI that showcased regional cooking and which also introduced me to the different delicacies cooked in Indian homes. Instead of hosting an event, I thought of inviting my blogger friends from all over India and the world to share their classic, homestyle recipes. I haven’t been fortunate enough to experience much of Kashmiri homestyle cooking, so I thought of kick-starting this series…
We Knead to Bake #26 -Kummelweck Rolls
It’s been 2 months since the ‘Dream machine’ arrived…and I haven’t baked bread for many months now. Ever since the Kitchen Aid arrived, I wanted to use it for Kneading bread dough. We Knead to Bake is in its 26th month and I have missed baking many of the breads. For a while now, I have had an idea brewing in my head to make- to fuse the classic Misal-Pav flavours into a burger. I was being too lazy to try this though. On a whim yesterday, I decided to take care of all the above issues and baked these…
