Okra in Yogurt Sauce

If you call for some easy lunch dishes to make this summer, you will love this rich and flavor filled bhindi recipe. Bhindi means Okra in Hindi, which is within reach in season all year long. Maybe, this is one of the reasons you’ll spot okra made in different style, look and taste in the houses of India. Besides this, okra helps to cut down bad cholesterol, protects the brain, lowers the risk of kidney damage, and rules out the anxiety. For this Indian Okra Curry, I take a batch of okra, wash and pat dry them, shallow fry and simmer with fragrantly yogurt sauce forming good looking lunch.

A cordial made with split chickpeas and bottle gourd

There is a light in the sky beyond the layers of cloud, maybe this is a contrast to the evening sky like a slate. I always have a bag of lentils at hand and this is a bright colored curry that is full of flavors and memory. This dish is what I make when I am missing my parents and Mumbai so very much. On most days, time goes by, work lends the day structure marking the territory between the week and its end. But the bad days have been bad, and I have been feeling the distance and being unable to see my dear ones.

Salubrious Soya Chunks

I make veg recipes in so many ways, especially since I’m Indian, my husband’s Pakistani, my family is a melting pot, and our different ethnic cuisines inspire a lot of my recipes, which are often a fusion of all these cultures. Soya chunks, also known as soya beans, are a delicious version of meat bites, they are a quick, easy and healthy dish that demands minimal prep and not much hands-on cooking time, making it pretty easy to pull together when you’re in hurry yet looking for something flavorsome to eat.

Irresistible Chicken Potato Curry – Indian Style

Chicken potato curry is a lighter cousin of Chicken korma, a great gateway dish for someone new to chicken curries. It has so much flavor, perfect over steamed rice to absorb all the delicious sauce. This amazing dish will make you look like you really know your way around the kitchen. The comforting gravy really makes the dish! For all of you Chicken lovers out there, this recipe is a keeper. I made a few adjustments to the recipe to suit our palate and make it lighter by cutting down on oil and changes in spices. The results were simply wonderful; a dish I have made a few times since. My tip for doing this is to cook it slow and low.

Scrumptious Stuffed Okra / Bharela Bhinda

Vibrant Green Okra

Cooking is an art that involves time and forbearance for the perfect balance of excellence and taste. I was wondering, does anyone feel as infuriated as I do about the sequence of cooking a dish and uncover on a plate without touching its limitations. Even a tiny herb can't be settled for less, I find that when edibles are cooked together in a certain way it brings out the x-factor of its own. This thought reminds me of Ratatouille – who is one of those characters who won't hog anything without checking its parameters. Why should we deal with the beautiful nature of goodies with a flat taste when the same item can be transformed into a delectable dose of happiness? Food doesn't call for exceptional ingredients, even an ordinary spice can change the flavor if cooked in a right proportion and approach.
