Momos are the perfect indulgence for winter..right? I know, our mouths water by the mere mention of these amazing dumplings. I have tasted momos in many up market restaurants and on streets. But the best ones are the ones i had in fancy bazaar, Guwahati and in a small shop in Khatmandu. I swear, i haven't tasted anything like that recently. Almost every region has their version of momos...we make kai kadubu and uddina kadubu during Nagara panchami, Maharashtrians love their ganesh chaturthi modaks, chinese have dimsums, and Italy's ravioli is also quite similar, may be the fillings are different according to the availability of local ingredients. Traditionally momos are steamed. Now we get chocolate momos, fried momos and sizzlers. But i like the traditional steamed ones. So i will show the traditional ones. You can put the filling of your choice, like tofu or cheese. As you all know, the route to a man's heart is through his stomach. When we cook, we usually keep our

Kalakand This very yummy and popular Indian desert needs no introduction. No, this is not inspired by the Nawab of pataudi's new flick as the letter "i" is not there in my recipe.(pun intended). Hmm..that's a different topic altogether. Many of us don't make this at home; maybe because it is laborious and you need to stand in front of the milk pot for hours?? Putting all of your worries aside, I have come up with yet another shortcut recipe, for Kalakand. Some experts may disagree...with due respect to them, I assure you that this tastes the same, as long as the ingredients and  measurements are right. Here, in this recipe, I have used fresh homemade chena or paneer. You can use the ones available in the market also, but the fresher, the better. Cook only in low to medium heat. Pour the contents immediately after the mixture leaves the sides of the pan otherwise, your kalakand will become chewy. Ingredients: 1. Fresh paneer: 1 cup 2. Condensed milk: 1/2

Bendekayi Gojju What can I say about this curry?? This is a common curry prepared in the south Indian state of Karnataka particularly in the region of Mysore. As the name suggests, it is spicy, tangy and very yummy! This is usually eaten with rice. But tastes good with Akki rotti, Ragi rotti and Dosa as well.
