I was keen to begin this mega marathon with a biryani and what better than a traditional Awadhi Vegetable Biryani. It hails from the beautiful city of Lucknow and is also called Lucknow Biryani. I was surprised to find that this Awadhi Vegetable biryani does not use the popular biryani masala or even garam masala….

Macadamia Muffins
My second post for the theme, Dishes from the Southern Hemisphere, was the one I was most excited about. I finally managed to get some macadamia which I tasted few years ago and loved. We had a fabulous family reunion last month and one of my cousins was kind enough to remember and get…
Chimichurri Rice
This is quite late to wish everyone a grand 2019 but in my defense I have been busy with holidays and family reunions and then recovering from the hangovers of the holidays and family reunions. So happy 2019 to everyone. I begin this year, surprisingly, not with a bread recipe which is usually the norm….
Simple Chocolate Cake
My intention for today’s post was a nicely baked vegetable – potato or sweet potato or some such. But, as always, things did not go to plan and I had to dig some old photos from my draft folder and use them. This is a simple yet delicious chocolate cake. It is very easy to…
Chocochip Cookies
I had to check my blog multiple times to confirm I had not posted this chocochip cookies before. I have made these cookies so many times and everyone who has tasted them has fallen in love. The search for an eggless version is on but sadly I am yet to get such a chewy and…
Dukkah
I am sure there has been more than once that I have lamented on this blog about wanting to make Dukkah and missing out on it. So finally this has been accomplished. Dukkah is an exotic spice blend which has a delightful combination of nuts and spices. It is an awesome dip for breads along…
Eggless Tutti Frutti Muffins
I have to begin this post with an apology. I had promised to post 3 bread recipes with the ingredient of all purpose flour. But the daughter and husband were totally against it and jointly insisted on a sweet dish instead. I tried my best but they are quite the team, I tell you. So…
Finnish Rye Scones
After an entire month of dosas and more dosas, I am back to my breads in October. This week’s theme for our Blogging Marathon is to pick one alphabet and blog about three dishes from three countries of that alphabet. I picked F because I thought it is quite a neglected alphabet. It is not…
A to Z Flatbreads Round Up | 26 types of Dosas
The month is up and we have completed yet another mega marathon when we blog for 26 days of a month with a pre-decided theme. This time we blogged about 26 flatbreads – Indian / International or Dosas/ Pancakes. I chose the dosa/ pancake option and made 26 types of dosas, one for each letter…
Gravity defying Cake | Layered Chocolate Cake
This is probably the first time I am posting a cake on my blog. I have posted tea cakes and regular naked cakes before. But this is the first time I am posting a layered cake with frosting. And guess what, it is a Gravity defying cake! I am too scared of baking cakes because…
