    Come winters and the variety of vegetables that is available off the shelf is just amazing. The word pulao takes me back in time when hot steaming pulao used to make the freezing winters so very warm and enjoyable. That hot pulao and spicy raita enjoyed from the cosy comforts of home as you watched the fog… sigh! While I think about my good ol’ days…why dont you check out the recipe? :) …let me know how you liked it though!

    This is yet another creation of Biji ammai – simple, quick and yummy. What set it apart from the normal lentil preparation is the usage of Zucchini. If you don’t have Zucchini you can use pumpkin instead! Don’f forget to give me a feedback post you cook :)

    We got to taste the yummy Shrimp Pulao made by our vegetarian aunt at Haren a small town with 23k population located in Germany. Its amazing how despite being a pure vegetarian some one can prepare a non vegetarian dish with such ease and taste.

  • Lauki ka Kofta Recipe

    Indian Dinner Recipes, Indian Lunch Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian Recipes 02.07.2009 2 Comments

    lauki-kofta

    As a teenager I was always interested in “special” cooking…which involved some amount of work. Regular cooking never interested me then. Another intention was to surprise my family members on the dining table. So whenever I got in mood for some cooking, I used to drive everyone off from the kitchen. I remember making Lauki ka Kofta then and it came out delicious. This is the same recipe for Lauki ka Kofta with  inclusions like paneer and raisin made as per suggestion from my mom. You have to try it :)
