    Ram Ladoo

    Or simply Moong Dal Vada with a radish salad and spicy mint chutney. Ram Ladoo; a delightful street snack served towards Northern India. Usually these moong dal vadas are served with a spicy green chutney and grated radish. The green chutney I used here is this recipe of Raw Mango and Mint Chutney. The raw mangoes lend a nice tart flavour to this chutney, which complements the simply flavoured Ram Ladoo so well! Like Indian street food? Try these recipes! Medu Vada Hakka Nood

    Vrat Thalipeeth

    Yes, there is already a Thalipeeth (multigrain Indian flatbread) recipe on WhiskMixStir. Why then am I sharing this? What's different in this recipe of thalipeeth from the thalipeeth recipe I shared on the blog earlier, you ask? Well, it’s in the name :) This thalipeeth (gluten-free multigrain flatbread or pancakes) is perfect fasting / vrat / upvas food. Makes for a great meal on its own, served with a vrat wala raita of choice. Hence, Vrat Thalipeeth it is. In my home, Vrat

    Beetroot Raita

    A good change from the regular boondi raita, cucumber raita and the many forms of dahi or yoghurt that is an essential part of an Indian thali / meal. Plus it’s pink! And adds a vibrant colour to your meal! Dahi / curd / yoghurt is a good source of natural probiotics and many other essential nutrients. Add to that the iron rich, mineral rich, superfood beetroot and you have a winner of a raita! Most of you would know I like keeping the flavours in my recipes simple and the in

    Baingan ka Raita

    Yes, the raita that I mentioned in my Lauki Chana Dal recipe! Eggplant Raita, Eggplant Yoghurt Dip, Brinjal Raita… this scrumptious baingan ka raita has a crisp bite from the fried eggplant and a creamy smooth texture of yoghurt or dahi. This recipe of Baingan ka Raita uses just fried eggplant, yoghurt and spices. A tadka too! While a Baingan ka Raita is not as quick to put together as let's say a cucumber raita or boondi raita, it is delectable and a must have on your Indian

    Raw Mango & Mint Chutney

    Kairi / kaccha aam and pudina chutney This recipe of raw mango and mint chutney is simple and delicious or simply delicious. Blitz together a few fresh ingredients and it’s done! The fresh tang from the raw mangoes or kairi is what sets this chutney recipe apart. As with any chutney, the fresher your ingredients, the better and more robust the flavour. Now, a lot of people like adding onions to their mint chutney recipes; I don’t. If you like the flavour of onions in your raw

    Chilli Soya Chunks

    Soya nuggets or soya chunks… high protein vegetarian, vegan, plant-based alternative to animal protein. Soya chunks or nuggets come from soybeans which, like any other bean, are high in fibre, calcium, iron, omega 3 and more. Low fat too because soya chunks are made from soy flour that is left over after extracting oil from soybeans. Usually soya chunks have protein content similar to that of meat and take much lesser time to cook. The quick cooking time for this recipe of Ch

    Chicken Reshmi Kebab

    Or simply Reshmi Kabab… or Chicken Malai Kebab… or Murgh Malai Kebabs… they’re all the same! The colour, you ask? Is because I pan-grilled these chicken reshmi kebabs and added a teaspoon of malai (fresh cream) at the end of the cooking process to de-glaze the pan. The chicken kebabs were then rolled in to these pan juices and got coloured. The flavours were simple and delicate nonetheless. For the uninitiated, Chicken Reshmi Kebabs or Murgh Malai Kebabs are ideally lighter i

    Kaleji (Mutton Liver) Fry

    Breakfast, mains, appetiser, small plates… Kaleji (mutton liver) Fry finds a place in all meals. This recipe of Kaleji Fry is the simple, no-fuss kind. To get the ‘fried’ effect I recommend cooking the mutton liver in its own juices, avoid adding water or stock. Stir the mutton liver often while it’s cooking to avoid charring or burning it. Connect with me on social media for (errrmmmm) not-so-regular updates! Yes, I’m not going to be on your screen all day every day! WhiskMi

If you have boiled or canned chickpeas at hand, this recipe is ready in literally 20 minutes. Thanks to its high plant based protein content, Chickpeas Curry makes for the perfect vegan main dis

    Sirke wale Pyaz

    Or Punjabi style pickled onions. Sirke wale pyaz are made with the small red onions usually available during winters. These aren’t sambhar onions, they’re just regular small red onions. You could even cut larger red onions in to thick slices and pickle them using this recipe of Sirke wale Pyaaz. I like to make these Sirke Wale Pyaz in smaller batches, enough for 4-5 days or a week at max. so the onions still have a crunch and don’t turn soft. Connect with me on social media f

    Black Rice Phirni

    Another year is coming to an end… on a rather sweet note :) What do you make, besides salads, when you have black rice in the kitchen pantry ? Hmmm… grind it to a coarse black rice flour or black rice paste and make Black Rice Phirni ! Only recently, much after I made this Black Rice Phirni recipe, I learnt that this recipe has been traditionally made in the North-Eastern states of India; known as Chak Hao Amubi (black rice and milk kheer / pudding)! That’s why: keep learning

    Aloo Bhurji

    We call it Aloo Pyaaz Tamatar Chutney at home… this recipe is basically egg bhurji without eggs. Beat a couple of eggs (or more!) and cook quickly on high heat as the last step, for delicious egg bhurji. If you're wondering why I'm talking about making egg bhurji adding eggs to Aloo Bhurji, try this recipe and you'll never make or eat egg bhurji any other way!

    or Besan ka chilla or savoury gramflour pancakes Besan ka chilla or besan ka puda is a rustic, simple-flavoured Indian breakfast or chai time snack recipe, popular in Northern and Western India. A healthy one too, as long as you limit the quantity of ghee or cooking oil used to pan-fry. Like Thalipeeth, these savoury gramflour pancakes make for a gluten-free, low-carb, protein-rich replacement to wheat chapati / roti. Serve besan ka puda with any of these Indian sides recipes

    Black-eyed Bean Kebabs So! This was a recipe trial, which turned out well. We’ve all heard of the traditional mutton Shami Kebabs… and then the vegetarian versions of them; rajma ki shami, kale chane ke shami kebab, masoor ke shami kebab (this one’s coming up soon!) and so on. So why leave the humble Lobia or Black-eyed beans out? Yes, it’s not everyone’s favourite bean given the mild flavour, but besides its meaty texture and nutty taste, lobia or black-eyed beans add great

    Keema Aloo

    This recipe of Keema Aloo or Kheema Aloo uses mutton keema (mince), you could use minced meat of choice, or soy mince – whichever works. I always add potatoes to my recipe of Keema Curry, which make for a great addition, as the potatoes soak in the flavours of the masala and Keema. That's why I call this recipe Keema Aloo Curry and not just Keema Curry. When available, I like to add a handful of fresh green peas to the Keema Aloo. I also always add a boiled egg to Keema Aloo

    Pani Puri, Golgappe, Puchka, Batashe... what's in a name? A good Pani Puri experience is more about the flavourful spicy, sweet, tangy Pani Puri water. Yes, the other elements are important too… crisp puris, sweet tamarind chutney or saunth chutney, al dente white peas or masala aloo, crisp boondi… but, it all comes down to how flavourful the Pani Puri water is. Why make your own Pani Puri water? With all the negative media around the quality of water used by street vendors,
