Famous sweet dish from Karnataka, made with Gram Flour (Chickpea Flour / Kadhalai Maavu / Besan) and sugar, mixed with generous amount of ghee, to make it, the most craved dessert item of South India. Quality ingredients, measures and method are very important to prepare this, every step counts, light change in any of the above might end up turning into a thick stone. Actually there are 2 different versions, the soft way (like the famous Sri Krishna Sweets Mysore Pak) and the crumb-lee version (slightly thick with crumblier texture on the top, like how, street side sweet walas make). Here, I've attempted typical home style soft version, though, not great looking, turned out with a decent taste and texture.

Zucchini is a summer squash which belongs to cucumber family. Had a couple of them at home and was breaking my head to come up a recipe to include this goody in our meal. Just then, when browsing my own site, a Thai yellow curry recipe, got displayed under the Google ads block, that's it!! a great idea popped up. This particular dish, usually comes with loads of zucchini squash combined with bell peppers and tastes similar to our kurma. Voila!!! that's how Zucchini kurma made its way into Spiceindiaonline.
Dhaba style preparations are always a treat for palates,… sizzling tandoori, kebabs and smoky masalas..literally makes us addicted to Punjabi food. Here's an easy preparation for one such dish…Green peas cooked in rich tomato gravy with special blend of Punjabi spices. Certain authentic Punjabi spices are very rare, not easily available in market, so have to come up with an easy solution. My quick pick was Chole masala, which has got a strong blend of all the punjabli spices and suits well for this recipe.
Upkari is a term used for any stir fry dishes in Konkani. This dish would be primarily made with any one veggie with the combination of potatoes. Here I've made an attempt to combine cabbage with potatoes, lightly tempered, well seasoned with soft channa dal and garnished with fresh grated coconut.
