| 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.

| 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.

| Rosewater Rice Pudding | |
A hint of exotica due to the flavour and aroma infused by rosewater, this is a very interesting choice for dessert. It can be enjoyed warm or chilled. It is very child-friendly too.
