| Wheat Chilli | |
There is nothing more comforting and gratifying than a bowl of good old fashioned chili. The marriage of tomato and cumin gives it its signature taste. Here is a spin off of the original version and uses whole wheat instead of meat mince. If you substitute the beef broth for vegetable stock .. voila!! you have a hot bowl of chili for vegetarians.

| Simple Kheer [Sweet Rice Pudding] | |
This kheer was a constant of my childhood. I have savoured it hot, cold, with puris and numerous other ways one can imagine. My mum used to experiment with the consistency of the kheer and I think the thicker and creamier it was, the more delicious it tasted.

| South Indian Curd Rice [Thair Sadam] | |
Adapted from one of my favourite cookbooks "Dakshin" by Chandra Padmanabhan, this side dish is a true South Indian classic. Seasoned cooks have their own special versions and some of the best Curd Rice I have sampled has been made by my aunt and in the South Indian Buffet of the "Ganges" restaurant in Singapore. Almost akin to the widely known and accepted raita, curd rice has the lovely, fluffy texture of rice and the tangy aroma of curry leaves and green chillies.

| Homestyle Chicken Dum Biryani | |
I have tried making different kinds at home, with different meats and different preparation methods .... the true Hyderabadi Biryani taste always elusive. Then I came upon this gorgeous little book of traditional Hyderabadi recipes. This book had three versions of Chicken Biryani or Murgh Dum Biryani, the last one being the closest to the authentic one. If you make it often enough, you will get faster and better. This one is a must try! Perfect for large numbers at an Indian Style banquet, this Chicken Biryani cooked at home in the oven with a modern "dum", is truly delicious.

| Lemon Polenta Crisps [Biscuits] | |
I adapted this recipe from the Australian Women's Weekly 'Cakes, Biscuits & Slices' last Christmas. I wanted a visual contrast to the dark and handsome gingerbread biscuits I was making. These turned out just delicious. The first time I made them, I used the polenta as is and I noticed a slight, sticky crunch [very interesting texture-wise]. So the next time around, I dry roasted the polenta in a skillet over low heat, tossing and agitating constantly, so that the polenta was a delicate shade warmer. This time the crunch was perfect! Make them chubby or thin crisps, these biscuits are made for popping in your mouth.

| Poha Chivda [Beaten Rice Savoury] | |
Poha Chivda is a savoury delight made of beaten rice and is a very popular snack in most Maharashtrian households. Prepared during Maharashtrian festivals, it counteracts the sweets offered during the same. I have fond memories of Poha Chivda from back in my school days. It used to be a lunchbox constant of one of my closest friends. She used to often bring along a pickle with it to spice things up.

| Honey Porridge | |
This is a simple and wholesome breakfast porridge for little kids and adults alike. Gentle on the stomach and high in fibre, sweetening it with honey is not only healthier but is medicinal too, because honey has natural healing powers.
