Street food thrives in India

Despite all the fast foods and restaurants and malls coming up here and there Indian street food will always be relished by everyone.I mean absoluteyl EVERYONE.Be it Idlis,Vadas,and dosas or vadapavs and pani puri and bhel puri.Our street food might not look hygienic but once u taste it you will always come back for more.There is a unique fragrance each dish leaves out that draws a passerby on the road to go and get a taste of whats cooking.Every road and street(galli as we call it) has its very own characteristic food STALL to have your daily doze of street khana from.
 Amazingly tasty Indian capsicum with spicy red chilli powder and boiled peanuts..The perfect meal and a very cold hill station.

 These farm fresh carrots caught my attention during my trip to Kodai.I tasted them and realised byt the time these carrots reach our city they lose their taste leaving us with un-juicy and dead carrots which we cannot even relish.


 What can I say bout these VADAS? u come down to south India and you will find them in every nook and corner.They may not be extremely hygienic but the taste of this delicacy will linger on your tongue for days/months to come.Have it with some chutney and you will enjoy yourself thoroughly.

Soya Chunks Broccoli Curry | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe

Soya Chunks  Broccoli Curry  | Soya Chunks Curry Recipe | Indian Recipe I attribute my varied palate to my Appa and Amma and no one else. Although South-Indian, growing up I was exposed to so many cuisines and I am not talking about, "just in restaurants". I am talking about "in Amma's kitchen". She wasn't just the Idli-Dosa kinda mom. She always ensured that she cooked up a different storm in the kitchen everyday and for that, I cannot be more thankful. Way before this whole "vegan" thing came into existence, she introduced me to Soya Chunks. We did eat non-veg at home but not everyday. That's when the humble Soya Chunks/ Soya Nuggets come to the rescue. The texture and taste (according to me) are nothing when compared to chicken but there is something about these nuggets that strike a chord with my palate.  Soya chunks especially when cooked in a curry form absorb water and spices. You take one bite and you realize ho...

Hummus | Hummus Recipe | Carrot Hummus | Carrot Humus Recipe

Hummus | Carrot Hummus | Carrot Hummus Recipe Anyone who loves Middle Eastern cuisine will and should know about the humble HUMMUS. For us Indians, we'd probably know it as simple Chickpea Paste or Chana Paste. No Big Deal. I did not know they made different flavours of HUMMUS until one day I stumbled upon a picture that had featured CARROT HUMMUS (YUM!). I instantly glued myself to my laptop and ran through many tabs titled   Carrot Hummu s or Carrot Humus Recipe or #carrothummus and I was pleasantly surprised and hungry! Most people online roasted the carrots in an oven. Unfortunately, I couldn't do the same due to lack of an oven in my kitchen.  So here's my version of the delicious and "goes-with-most-breads"  Carrot Hummus | Hummus. Hummus | Hummus Recipe | Carrot Hummus | Carrot Humus Recipe WHAT YOU NEED FOR CARROT HUMMUS  1) One cup of chickpeas (washed, soaked over night and pressure cooked with salt and water) 2) 2-3 carrots (was...
