Tried making Idli for the first time at home.

I love Idlis for breakfast but always thought it might be complex to cook, but simply followed the instructions from a YouTube video and boom. It’s done. Can’t believe this was so easy.

And how soft and fluffy they are.
Love it

Kindly suggest some good and easy going recipe for yummy sambar.

Winter food season is coming soon

Cold days, cosy blankets, and a plate full of makki di roti, sarson da saag, white butter, pickle and onions.

Honestly, is there a better winter comfort meal?

What’s the one dish you wait for every winter?

Fall off the bone sticky wings

Made some soy marinated wings last night, cooked them nice and slow at 120C for 45-50 minutes with a bit of steam in the beginning. The skin was nice and tacky and the inside was super tender, juicy and fatty.

Only remembered to take the picture after I demolished most of them.

is this happening to you as well?

so basically, i feel like a lot of our generation, (gen y and gen z) are moving away from traditional indian meal, that is dal roti sabji and chawal

more and more number of people i believe (including myself) are looking for variety of tasty and/or healthy options

is this just me or is this happening to all of you as well?

for me personally, on some days these home made meals are very comforting, but i can't imagine eating the same everyday

took me way too long to realize there's no "best oil", only "best oil for this food"

for years i was using one neutral oil for everything and then wondering why some dishes felt flat, and some felt slightly wrong

finally, made myself a very dumb kitchen rule and honestly my cooking got less confusing:

  • mustard oil for North + Eastern Indian dishes

  • groundnut oil for Western + a lot of South Indian everyday cooking

  • sesame oil for southern pickles and the occasional Chinese-style stir fry at home

  • sunflower oil when i just want to deep fry and not overthink life

  • coconut oil for Kerala/coastal food, and sometimes as a multipurpose oil if that flavor works in the dish

  • olive oil mostly for salad dressing, and sometimes lighter general use

sounds obvious maybe, but i genuinely needed this spelt out coz i was treating "cooking oil" like one category

what helped me most was buying clearly separated oils instead of one vague "healthy oil" bottle. Tata Simply Better’s range made this easier for me because the groundnut, mustard etc are straightforward and easy to find, so i stopped guessing what should go where. their groundnut has become my low-drama daily bottle, while mustard only comes out when i actually want that north/east flavour

what's your house rule? or are most of you still using one bottle for everything and calling it a day?

Made a pizza with my ninja combi

I am used to baking pizzas from scratch back at my home in Delhi. There I have two different ovens for different styles of pizza. Recently moved to Bangalore for my work and decided to get a ninja combi (totally worth it). Attempted my first Detroit style pizza yesterday night.

Steamed or fried? 👀

Ghar par momos banaye aur dono versions try kiye. Honestly, fried wale thode zyada pasand aaye 😂
