Lauki Raita

Frankly speaking I am not a Lauki lover neither knew the taste of lauki before last year. It was just when I started eating Lauki Kofta I taught of trying it in 

various dishes... & Lauki Raita is a best complement with roti's & parant's...

Misti Dahi

Misti Dahi/ Sweet curd is one of the favourite desserts among the Bengali's. My father started his career at Kolkata, WB. He was there for 2-3 years and he knows almost all the old restaurants over there and the streets where, good food is available. Last when we visited in the year 2009 he took me and mom to a hotel when he asked us to taste Misti Dahi... & I have no words that was the best one I ever had... :)

Today just tried to imitate it still trying to achieve that taste...

Onion Raita

The second recipe I choosed is Onion Raita from Vegetarian Food & Me for Blog Hop Wednesday. I had lil alterations with my raita but the theme is -:Onion:- Onion raita can be taken with and Palao, Biryani, Parante etc... 

Kadhi-Chawal uuummm...

Kadhi is one of the best dish I love from Gujarati cuisine. It is a spicy dish whose thick gravy is based on Besan and contains vegetable pakoras(I used potato), to which sour yogurt is added to give it little sour taste. I love it with simple plain rice.
