Chicken Dim Sum | Chicken Momos

I cannot think of a certain cuisine or culture with no version of chicken soup. Folk medicine and chicken soup have a symbolic relationship because every mother or granny I have known always recommends chicken soup or dal rice as the restorative technique for coughs and colds. I must admit I am not too keen on plain yakhni soup as have to drink mugs of flavorsome broth while other soothing foods are time-consuming. I would rather shortlist the dim sum with some suggestions – Hashim fancies the dumpling with chicken and fresh veggies wrapped and steamed which would also be my choice. So when either of us is going through a slow recovery from cold or fever we would prefer to hog steamed dim sum, as they are super delicious, oil-free and the perfect fix for reduced appetite.

Meethi Kadhi Gujarati Style

Meethi Dal or Meethi Kadhi is very common in Gujarati houses and is generally served as a side dish. It teams well with rice dishes like khichdi, vegetable pulao, and even with bhakri. There are oodles of ways to reshape the kadhi recipe and it changes state-wise. Mostly, kadhi recipes are given a touch of sour and spicy taste with a thick consistency, but this one flow towards the sweet side and is less thick.

Nothing better than Delish Peas Pulav

We are rice eaters in our house and one of my pièce de résistance in vegetarian meals is Matar Pulav. We Indians have separate fandom for peas and paneer in our dishes - it’s a great source of protein. The aroma that fills your kitchen while cooking rice and peas, eliminates the need to watch and stir it the entire time. Instant pot recipes are a lifesaver as they are the fastest and can be modified as per the plan.
