Javvarisi / Sabudhana Idli

So still using those grinders and mixers to make fluffy idlis ? Dealing with all the mess? Not anymore... here is my very own recipe for soft, melt-in-the-mouth idlies. 

Double Layer Burfi

Once again a post after a verrrrry long time....

So starting again with a sweet :) 

Who doesn't like a treat... it's double this time....:)

Hara-Bhara Tikki

Very colourful, delicious and healthy tikkis... with less oil...! 

What else...?! It is absolutely Vegan, Onion-Garlic free snack that goes great with a cup of hot tea in a chilly autumn afternoon.


Go Green!!

Matar Masala (Green Peas Gravy)

Easy and quick to make, if you have a pack of frozen peas. If you have to peal it from scratch? Forget it! who has time for that??! Unless you want to eat something truly healthy. 

This one here is 100% Vegan and made with teeny-weeny bit of oil when compared to the usual Indian gravies and still tastes the best. 

Mango Mousse (Eggless)

It is a kind of joy you feel when you make an authentic dish without eggs. 

Before few decades, having a mousse would have been a distant dream for any vegetarian. But not anymore, that too when you can make it at your very own home. It is so easy to make.

So what are we waiting for? 

Ensalada de Garbanzos (Chickpeas Salad)

I was in Spain, the first week of July. Who would have thought that in the narrow lanes of Santiago de Compostela (Galicia, Spain) I would come across this beautiful restaurant, that has a separate vegan 3-course meal in their menu. That too 3 to 4 options!!

After some hard core travel, I had this salad that was just right for my growling tummy and yearning soul. Ok! now that's a little dramatic... but hey I ate it at 11 p.m ... you can't blame me!!

So here it is, a fresh, healthy, vegan salad  meal. Oasis in the middle of carne of Spain...:)

Black Forest Cake

It was my birthday on July 4th and I made my favourite cake. *Drum Roll*

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte 
or.... The Black Forest Cake :)

"You can not live in Germany near Black forest and not make this. It is a sin." - I told to myself so that I don't feel guilty. 

Oh no, I am not counting calories. It's my Birthday for God's sakes... Geez!!
