Print Palak Paneer Pakora
Spinach and Paneer Pakoras are crispy and delicious. I also enjoy using these pakoras to make chaat. These two spicy, delicious popular street food items—Pakoras and Chaat—are loved by all. When it rains, most Indians think about Pakoras served with a hot cup of chai; what a treat. These spinach and paneer pakoras are crispy and mouthwatering. You can serve them as pakoras, or I enjoy serving them also as chaat (chaat is a snack served with yogurt and spicy chutney). But Pakoras are enjoyed year-round. I've used baby spinach for this recipe, trimming all the stems ..read more

Recipe submitted by Yummily Yours’
Taro root (a tuber very similar to potato in texture) and tapioca pearls (sabu dana) in a coconut milk and sugar is a very popular Chinese dessert. Nachiket (my husband) is not very fond of coconut and eats it only when masked well. Since I was making this especially for him, I decided to innovate. I used three types of milk (tres leches) as used in a Mexican tres leches cake.
What did I end up with? An amazingly good Chinese origin, Mexican like, Indian fast friendly Pudding! Do I categorize this as fusion or what? ?

Print Banana Rice Bowl
How did I come up with this unique Banana Rice Bowl combination? At lunchtime, I craved something spicy yet easy. I decided to make banana chat, but it didn't seem filling enough. I remembered I had some cooked rice in the fridge. While taking it out, I noticed moong sprouts, and grilled tofu so I decided to add those as well. However, it looked very bland. I decided to add cucumber and tomatoes. Now it looked colorful, tempting, and healthy. To my surprise, the combination turned out delicious. It was a delightful and tasty meal.
