Easy to Go Munching Edible – Pan Fried Chivda

My home city Mumbai - celebrates all the festivities of life, and with that comes different options of farsan like chakli, bhakarwadi, gathiya, soya sticks, aloo bhujia, khakra, karanjis, various versions of chrunchy chiwda like farali chivda, corn flakes chivda, sago pearls chivda, poha chivda and lots more. Chivda is a great addictive and simple snack, loaded with iron, fiber, carbohydrates so it’s a win win. I personally love to nibble chivda when I’m bored or I want something to just keep me going.

Arabic Coffee

When it comes to tea or coffee, I usually turn my side towards nice cuppa milky ginger tea. But, due to my unfriendly relation with milk, many a time I have to put a brake and decide on watery options like black tea or black coffee. Black tea doesn't add excitement to my morning routine, although I am a tea person, tea without milk is just like experiencing winter without snowflakes.

Melange Filled Crispy Shells / Dahi Puri

If you relish making pani puris at home, you will barely rue in trying these crispy bites of complete flavors. There are countless ways of making dahi puri, but I’m going to impart the most authentic Mumbai style recipe of dahi puri. Pani puris are mostly liquid filled goodies, which are supposed to be gulped down in one go whereas dahi puri is a thick yogurt based salpicon that gives you a chance to delay those bites. Whenever, we are done with our conventional menu, we try to blow away the cobwebs by simply inviting this light, tasty and pleasant bubbles of goodness. I tend to make this recipe without any second thought as it holds a pinch of sour, well balanced sweetness, restrained spice taste and above all it is crunchy delight.
