Vada Pav

          Finally, today I am posting Vada Pav. Vada Pav is a popular street food of Maharashtra ( a state in India ). It's actually pav ( bread ) served with fried potato vadas in between along with a couple of chutneys and fried chillies. There are so many versions of the vada pav, and today I am posting my favorite one, the classic style. I have already posted the recipes for the green chutney, sweet chutney and dry garlic chutney in the blog, once we have the chutneys ready, it's just making the vadas and then putting them inside the bread along with the chutneys. It's a perfect snack for those cold evenings or I can call it even dinner since it's very filling too..

Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

          Though I have posted so many bakes on my blog, I realized that I haven't posted the basic Chocolate Chip Cookies. In fact, I have even posted a vegan version of the chocolate chip cookies, but somehow missed these simple cookies. This is an eggless version, I have used curd/yoghurt instead and the cookies came out perfect..

Dates And Tamarind Chutney, Sweet Chutney For Chats

          Some of you might not like Sweet Chutney with chats or samosas, but at home, we all like both the green chutney and sweet chutney with our chats. We use soft dates ( I had some imported ones ) and tamarind for making this chutney and it's an easy recipe. It's a must for most chat dishes and can be served with cutlets, samosas and savory rolls too and keeps well in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks or can be stored in the freezer for a couple of months..

Onion Tomato Gothsu, Side Dish For Pongal, Idlis And Dosas

          Pongal ( both sweet and spicy ) is a favorite at home. As much as we like ven pongal with sambar and chutney, I like it much better when I serve it with this Onion and Tomato Gothsu. Since there is no dal/lentils in this Gothsu, you don't end up feeling heavy after eating pongal with it. It's very light and the slight sourness from the tomatoes goes very well with Ven Pongal, do try this Gothsu, the next time you make Ven Pongal, of course this goes very well with idlis and dosas too..
