Mili Juli Sabzi

An exotic blend of vegetables and paneer cooked in a mild spicy base.... Prepared by my lovely wife, Ashwini :)

Cabbage spring rolls

My first humble attempt at preparing cabbage spring rolls (these are shallow fried, not baked). Almost everyone knows what a spring roll is, so I'll not elaborate :)

Mushroom chilly fry

Another experimental from Chef Sid: mushrooms chopped and stir fried with onion, chilly and garlic.
Note: This one is prepared from real Goan seasonal mushrooms :)

Stuffed tomatoes

Known as भरवाँ टमाटर in Indian parlance. Tomatoes stuffed with a rich filling of creamy cottage cheese (मलई पनीर), brushed with oil and baked tenderly. Can be very easily adapted as a health snack, light on the stomach too!

Pizza

The classic Italian snack perfected to Indian taste, using a ready pizza base from Monginis topped with vegetables in spicy tomato sauce and grated Mozzarella cheese... Treat for my taste buds and feast for your eyes! :)

Papdi chaat

A well-known snack from the north Indian fast food family, with a dash of innovation and nutrition: crispy baked wafers garnished with vegetables, yogurt, and flavored with spices and chutneys... Crunchy, tangy and sweet, sure to set you drooling! :)

Misal pav

A झणझणीत Maharashtrian snack...



The usal (उसळ) is usually prepared from bean sprouts (and sometimes other pulses) and packs in a punch of nutrition.



The thin spicy oily gravy is known variously as kat (कट) in the Kolhapur region, sample (सांपल) in the Pune region, tarri (टर्री) in the Nashik region and otherwise generally as rassa (रस्सा). Fiery hot, it works nicely to set your tongue on fire!

Mushroom and baby corn kadai

This one is an experimental by Chef Sid: mushroom and baby corn pieces tenderly cooked in cashew and cream paste...

Gobi manchurian

The all-time favorite Indianized-Chinese cauliflower fritters tossed in tangy sauce with spices and herbs, more commonly known as Gobi Manchurian... Catered to suit my spice-loving palate! :)
