Aloor Dum, Potato Curry

          After seeing the combination of Kachoris and Aloor Dum ( popular Bengali dish ) in many blogs, I had wanted to try it, but kept putting it off for one reason or the other. And then, last week , I saw these kachoris with aloor dum in a cooking show, and I couldn't wait any longer to try it. I made Radhaballabhi kachoris ( obviously my next post ) along with Aloor Dum, though I made it as an evening snack, we can have this for a weekend breakfast or brunch. I already have a post for Dum Aloo in my blog, a very rich almond-yogurt based curry, but this one is a very simple dish, but very tasty in its own way and a perfect side dish for the kachoris. We just loved this curry and it would go very well even with regular pooris and rotis too..

Aloo Parathas, Flat Breads With Potato Filling

          While going through the list of parathas that I have posted in the blog, I found that I have missed the most popular Aloo Paratha/ Flat Breads With Potato Filling. This is one of the most easiest parathas and the filling is mashed potatoes mixed with spices. It's not only very tasty and easy to make, it's also easier to roll out these parathas because of the smooth texture of the mashed potatoes. It's very filling, there's no need for any side dish, it just tastes great with some curd/ yogurt and pickle..

Summer Coolers

          It's summertime, and most of us are inclined more towards juices, lassis or something cold, rather than having spicy and heavy meals. Here is a compilation of delicious summer coolers that I have posted in my blog..

Okra And Peanut Curry, Bhindi, Vendakkai Curry

          Okra/ Bhindi/ Vendakkai is a favorite at home, we love it in sambar, curry, thayir pachadi and of course not to forget, the fritters/ pakoras. When thinking about doing something other than the above, I made this curry with okra along with some peanuts. Though the spices added are the regular chilly and coriander powders, the peanuts added at the end gives a nice crunch, the fenugreek powder gives a nice flavor and the curry goes well with both rice and rotis..
