| 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.

| Kesar Pista Amrakhand [Saffron, Pistachio & Mango Yoghurt Shrikhand] | |
If there is one thing from the coffers of Indian cuisine that is not commonplace here in Sydney and perhaps in the rest of Australia, it is the delectable and creamy "Shrikhand". Shrikhand is a delicious dessert made by hanging yoghurt in a muslin cloth and draining it of its liquid content. Whipped together with chopped fresh fruits, nuts and flavouring; the Shrikhand is the highlight of festivals in western Indian and as a member of the authentic Indian Thali all along India's west coast. A softer version of the shrikhand is the "Mattha" which is equally delicious and can be easily made by allowing some liquid to remain in the original recipe. Here is a recipe for homemade Amrakhand, which essentially is Mango Shrikhand.

| Gujarati Kadhi [Sweet Yoghurt Curry] | |
This is a truly authentic Kadhi [Yoghurt Curry] recipe handed down to me by my mom. Anyone who has tasted her Kadhi will tell you that there is something extra special about its rich, creamy consistency and delightful sweet and sour taste. I make this quite often and although I am very pleased with the result, it doesn't compare to the beautiful 'Kadhi' my mom makes.

| Mishti Doi [Traditional Sweet Yoghurt] | |
'Mishti Doi' the much loved Bengali sweet is traditionally made in small earthernware pots with their mouths covered with muslin cloths. These pots are kept in a pit in the ground, loosely covered with soil and topped off with burning charcoals. The heat brings out the distinct flavour and colour of the 'doi'. Jaggery is originally used to sweeten the 'doi'. Here, I will show you a quick, modernised version of making it and it will taste almost similar as the original, I promise.
