#Post16 - Amla (Gooseberry) has amazing health benefits. It has the highest content of vitamin C, fiber, iron and zinc. They are equally good for our hair / scalp, heart, controls blood sugar and is also good for the tummy. Hence it is recommended in our daily diet. So let me share a simple rasam (soup) that I made out of some amla. It can be enjoyed as a piping hot soup during winter, as an appetizer or as a side dish with plain steamed rice. Rasam with hot steamed rice and accompanied with some papad / chips is the best comfort food that anybody will vouch for. And if it is made with the super nutritious and healthy amla, then there is nothing like it. I am a total fan of rasam of any type. It is light, tangy and a little spicy, coming from the peppercorns. So do give it a try and relish it piping hot as a soup during winter. #goldenapron

#ultrafoodieSo here’s my take on a thick gravy Paneer Do Pyaza.This whole dish is made of just one Teaspoon of Desi Ghee and goes without saying that Desi Ghee is the healthiest of all as compared to any Cooking Oil available in the market.

This dish was one of the first complicated things I'd tried in my kitchen. I've always loved beans and vegetables. Both these come together in a curry that my aunt used to make during the harvest festival that we celebrate in Southern India called Pongal. It's mostly made in rural areas where the first fist-fulls of all the crops grown by a household and the village are used to make a curry which is offered to the Sun God as a thank you for providing life on earth. This curry is eaten with the "first rice" that is slightly overcooked to give it a sticky, gummy consistency. Since this festival always occurs during the month of January, I've always felt that this was an excellent way to start the year, with a little bit of the best of everything, coming together in a harmonious medley that always managed to explode my senses. This recipe is my interpretation of that nostalgic dish that I associate with festivals, family and cold weather. I hope you try it and enjoy it as much as I do.

#reststyle - This is a signature dish of the Parsi cuisine and a very popular one in any Parsi restaurants. Very spicy and tangy, no menu is complete without this delicacy where the mutton is cooked in a combination of two or more lentils and eggplants. Cubed red pumpkin, if preferred can also be added. It can be had both with Parsi biryani or flat bread.

#reststyle - Mushroom and green peas are a good combination and is a common dish found in most of the restaurants. In fact it is my favourite dish when visiting any restaurant. It is a great side dish with plain steamed rice, jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani, naan, tandoori roti, kulcha or just plain chapati. I sometimes have it with dosa, appam or idiyappam. They taste just great.
