Street Food Of Indore- Bhutte Ka Kees/ Bhutyacha Kees, Step Wise


DSC_3099-001
I’ve made it very evident several times earlier, my profound love for the vibrant and lovely city of Indore and the variety of food available there. Having lived there for several years, I know most of the local food and have tasted that too… especially the street food! As students, me and my friends would hog in the streets of Sarafa and since my family was also a foodie the hogging continued with them too..

DSC_2991-001
Hi All!
Looks like I’m springing back to a decent blog posting. The last few days I’ve posted quite regularly and I hope to maintain this habit for some time now.
I had wanted to post a lot of International street food this month but some how one thing or the other kept me busy and away from blogging rather from cooking new.. somehow I’m trying desperately now to post some interesting street food.

Multi Purpose Daal Palak ..Dry Version

 

DSC_1555-001

Hi all!

Go Green is the slogan for winter with so many greens available abundantly. Today I’m posting a healthy version of daal/curry. I’m using both names, daal and curry as it is made using lentils and greens. The version that I have made is a dry one but the same after adding more water can be made as a daal too and can be had with rice. The dry version tastes best with bread, paav, phulka or can be used as a filling to make sandwich too which I did, and one can check the post here.

It is very tasty as has no extravagantly used spices. It has natural flavours of the spinach, lentils and the other added veggies. The version I’ve made has more of a Noth Indian touch but the same curry can be given a South Indian touch by adding Curry leaves and Asafoetida (heeng) during tempering.

How To Make Restaurant Style Makhani Gravy For Curries| Step Wise | मखनी ग्रेवी रेस्तराँ स्टाइल


DSC_0631
Makhani sauce, as the name suggests is a sauce made in makkhan (butter). It is a delicately flavoured sauce which has a taste of tomatoes, aromatic spices, butter and cream.
It’s a rich gravy, loaded with calories but extremely flavourful and very popular. One can find it dominating the menu cards of any Indian Restaurant serving North Indian Food. As a child it was my favourite and now it is my kid’s. I make both the low and high calorie version of it but here I’m sharing the high calorie version. If you want to try a low calorie version, check here.
This sauce is popularly used to make paneer (paneer makhani), dal (dal makhani), vegetables (veg makhani). One can check out my innovation with this sauce here.

How To Make Frozen Peas At Home

Hi Friends.

Today I share another important technique used in the kitchen for storage, that's freezing. In this fast moving, hasty world we tend to use many frozen products as they come out handy. Freezing helps us store seasonal vegetables for a longer time and one of the most commonly used  frozen vegetable  is Peas. The peas made in this way can be stored in the freezer for an year. My mom used to make frozen peas  and now I follow the same trend and make them in winter when one gets peas at a cheaper rate (helps me save a few hundreds in the year).

Hi!

First of my apologies for not updating this blog for quite sometime. Today I am posting something very crucial for all the people who love working with yeast.

Yeast can be fun to work with in summer but it became a challenge for me while I lived in North India during winter. Hence I thought of writing this post..

Event Round Up- ‘Only’ Side Dishes

 

Hello Everyone!!

Wishing all my readers and friends a Very Happy 2013. I hope and pray that this year brings in peace and harmony all over the world. I also hope that people can respect women and my country comes up with a strong legal system to punish the beasts of the society, who treat women like trash. I also take this opportunity to salute women like ‘Nirbhaya’ who in spite of all the suffering and pain showed faith in the legal system and fought for justice till her last breath. RIP, Nirbhaya.
