Fried Potato Puffs (Aloo Kachori)
Add to favourites

A delicious and filling snack that's crisp on the outside with a soft bite inside. This recipe is by Renuka Gandhi, my friend’s mother, and the key to its success is her homemade garam masala. Measurements are for 20 kachoris.

Spicy Béchamel Sauce
Add to favourites

Even though I love continental cuisine, my husband - who likes very spicy food - is not very fond of it. So I've come up with this spicy version of bechamel sauce with some onions, and garlic & green chilly paste. He loves this sauce in au gratin bakes and lasagna. Increase the amount of garlic & green chilly paste if you'd like the sauce more spicy.

A thick, refreshing chutney that tastes delicious with Indian snacks such as dhokla, paranthas, stuffed paranthas, bhajias, or just as a sandwich spread. This chutney tastes best fresh but can be refrigerated for about 10-12 days. This recipe makes 1 ¾ cup of chutney.

A very easy recipe. You can use a frozen pie crust or even make your own (I promise it's simple!). For the filling, you can choose between meats, vegetables and seasonings of your choice. This is truly a foolproof recipe and you will love it better than anything you'll taste at a restaurant.

This traditional recipe has been contributed by Pooja Sukhija from Mumbai, India. Pooja learned this recipe from her mother-in-law, who in turn learned it from hers. It has been passed on from generation to generation, and as Pooja's husband Vijay attests, it's always tasted the same.

Chicken Peanut Stew
Add to favourites

This stew is very filling and easy to make. The flavour of peanuts blends beautifully with the sourness of the tamarind. After the initial prep and the first 10 mins of cooking, this stew can be left to simmer on its own. The secret to this recipe's success is its slow cooking - sometimes I let it cook for more than an hour.

Soft Milk Dumplings Soaked in Sugar Syrup (Gulab Jamun)
Add to favourites

This particular recipe is from Mrs. Renuka Gandhi in Mumbai, India. The first time I tasted them, I couldn't believe they were homemade. Homemade gulab jamuns are usually hard on the inside. But these are just perfect.

Since she usually makes gulab jamuns in large quantities, Mrs. Gandhi had to revise her recipe a few times before she got the proportions right for a smaller number. And she did it all for KhaanaWaana so let's thank her! This recipe serves 15-16.
