Hello after a while! 👋🏽 Back here with Bhar Hello after a while! 👋🏽 Back here with Bharwan Karele, a no waste recipe for tangy, stuffed bitter gourds inspired by how dadiji always makes them. With a combination of achari spices, amchoor and gur (jaggery) these karele are transformed from the bitter greens they are to savory, piquant morsels that pair perfectly with plain parathe or chapati. They also make for great travel food. Place one stuffed karela in the center of a paratha, wrap and eat! I recall carrying this same combination on overnight journeys from Bhopal to Delhi in college days. While summer presents an explosion of produce in the West, options constrict in India. The same few vegetables do the rounds over and over. Making karele in several ways - fried, stuffed, with aloo - provides a change and variety. Try these melons next time you spot them at the grocery store. Don’t let their bitterness prevent you. There is an easy way to tackle that; included in the post. Find link to the recipe and blog post in bio. Hope you’ve been well! See you sooner next time ☺️ #kitchenpostcards #bittergourd #bharwankarela #veganfood #vegetarian #recipe #indianfood #punjabi #food #saveurmag #bonappetit #food52 #f52community #women #homemadefood #gharkakhana #dadi #dubai #tucson #eat
New on the blog: Moongphali wali Patta Gobhi 🥬 New on the blog: Moongphali wali Patta Gobhi 🥬 or stir fried cabbage with peanuts. A recipe my late mother crafted, and for us, patta gobhi meant moongaphali wali instead of other combinations like aloo-patta gobhi (Though that has its own charm!). The quickest sabzi I’ve made in a while that is also full of wonderfully complimentary textures and flavors. In each bite the sweetness of cabbage, it’s crunch still intact, pairs with fried peanuts’ earthiness and the mild heat of Kashmiri laal mirch. There is a bit of umami lurking in there too. As cabbage is stir-fried, there is just enough caramelisation and browning to develop a hint of umami, easily enhanced with the addition of lime juice at the time of serving. I though skip the lime and serve it warm with a few cracks of pepper. Great as a side with any meal, make this patta gobhi sabzi that was one of my mom’s signature. If you are on the fence about cooked cabbage, this might convert you! — @kanikasamra Save the post for meal planning ideas later.

The common nimbu 🍋we get in India classifies as The common nimbu 🍋we get in India classifies as a lime and yet this rice dish is called Lemon Rice and not Lime Rice. But etymology aside, this quick rice dish is delicious! It is lemony (duh!), nutty (thanks to the use of peanuts and cashews), savoury and unctuous! The brilliant yellow thanks to the turmeric that is just briefly and gently bloomed in the hot oil makes this dish even more inviting. I know I make it sound more fancy that it may be but it’s such a simple and beautiful recipe that I cannot resist making again and again. And I insist you do too!

Air fryer Bharwa Baingan ie spice rubbed stuffed e Air fryer Bharwa Baingan ie spice rubbed stuffed eggplants on the blog! Crisp on the outside, juicy, tangy on the inside. Great to pair with any meal. While writing this recipe I was reminded of the Tawa Sabzis common at Indian wedding buffets especially in the north. In my childhood, the tawa sabzi used to be the only roasted and stir fried or bhuni hui sabzi at such events. A range of par cooked vegetables would be assembled along the outer rim of a hot tawa/griddle. With a pre cooked masala ready at hand, the cook could make a customized sabzi for you - one or a medley. While at home we would often make kurkuri bhindi or bhuna aloo(both are on the blog) the delight of being able to quickly get a custom made sabzi was very enjoyable. My mom loved the tawa sabzi and we would make a beeline for it! This Bharwa Baingan is similarly quick and has some of that roasted/bhuna hua feel to it thanks to the air fryer. If you don’t use an air fryer it can just as easily be made - bhuna hua - in a frying pan. Try it! Its tangy, salty flesh makes every meal better. It is #vegan and #vegetarian to boost!

If there is mooli ie daikon #radish around, can a If there is mooli ie daikon #radish around, can a stuffed paratha be far behind? Rhetorical question. Of course not! Parathe are the stuff of life in Punjab. As common as cereal in the US, they are essential breakfast food. As seasons change the stuffing used for these changes too. In the #winters two common parathe are Gobhi and Mooli. @sakshipakshi shared her recipe for Gobhi ke Parathe a while back on the blog. Today’s new post is about Mooli ke Parathe. An easy recipe that helps me relive many childhood brunches. Daikon can be sweet and juicy or slightly pungent and juicy. Either way it makes for a delicious stuffing. Check it out!
