Sooji Dhokla (Semolina /Yogurt Steamed Cake)


If I have to pick one "goto" dish which is tasty, repeatable and presentable, it would be the Sooji dhokla by Isha of Intrepidcook. It is easy to make "hard" dhokla - believe me I have done that so many times until this superb recipe came along to make the softest dhokla ever.

Babagnoush (Eggplant Dip)


Babagnoush is cousin brother of Hummus that uses chicpeas instead of Eggplant (baigan). Interestingly, there is a third cousin called mamagnoush which uses Zucchini instead of eggplant.

Pita Bread


One of my favorite cuisine is Mediterranean. The central item on table in this cusine is pita bread which is easily available in grocery stores. I appreciate home made Indian roti(bread) so much over the store bought roti that I have been thinking of making pita bread at home for a while now. In a way they are quite similar to Indian bread.
