| Gajar Ka Halwa [Indian Carrot Pudding] | |
"Gajar Ka Halwa" brings to mind little ornate steel bowls full of delicious, moist, beautifully textured carrot pudding garnished with slivered nuts and silver foil [varakh]. The typical Halwa like the one Mum makes, takes anywhere between 2-6 hours simmering away on the stove. Thanks to modern technology [microwave] and a lot of laziness [me], I have conjured up my own version of the "Microwave Gajar Ka Halwa". It takes 20 minutes to cook and if you practice it enough number of times, it tastes as good as the lengthy procedure version, I swear!!

| Microwave Mango Kalakand [Indian Mango Fudge] | |
I love microwave recipes!! This one was an experiment that was a huge success, took me just 8 minutes to make and was glorious, gratifying and delicious ... a perfect mithai/barfi for that special occasion. I made it last night for Raksha Bandhan and there is hardly any left.

| My Mum's Instant Rawa Dhokla | |
I was lucky enough to see my mum make these with extreme ease these holidays and try them out a couple of times to perfect the recipe. This recipe will have you making delightfully soft, fluffy and oh so delicious khaman dhoklas instantly. And since they are made of "Rawa" [Semolina], they are healthier than their Nylon Khaman counterparts which happen to be made up entirely of "Besan" [Gram/Chickpea Flour]. Make these dhoklas for your next potluck or picnic and watch them disappear.

| Tadka Dal | |
I adapted this from Tarla Dalal's "Dals" cookbook. The recipe is simple and is easily made from staples in your fridge and pantry. I tweaked it a bit by adding daal masala and increasing the cooking time on low heat. The original recipe suggests pressure cooking, a process that I skipped.

| Nick's Lamb Kofta Curry | |
My hubby adapted this from "The Food Of India" cookbook and it was just fantastic. The lamb koftas were tender and melted in the mouth, the curry was tangy and very aromatic. A tad time-consuming but well worth the effort.

When I was studying in India, way back in the nineties, we used to frequent this
little shack of a restaurant which specialised in Chinese Delicacies .. Indian
Style. We couldn't get enough of their Special Chicken in Chinese Sauce. Here is
that recipe.
