Povitica #Breadbakers
In the life of a home baker are many projects that get duly noted, marked, bookmarked and then completely sidetracked. Because in the life of a homebaker are also new projects that catch her imagination and then those get noted, marked and book marked. And. The. Cycle. Continues. However, sometime in the life of a home baker comes a time, when one of those projects calls from the deepest folds of the notebook (yes! we still use those around here) and implores to be completed. With the promises of a great bake and a stunning looking loaf the Povitica was …
Kaddu Ka Ambal – Sweet and Tart Pumpkin Curry
A piece of flaky fried bread turns into a scoop as you dip it into a pipping hot bowl of pumpkin curry, the action languorous. The pumpkin pieces look plump & juicy and hold a promise of being sweet & tart, the flavors scrumptious. To the onlooker you are but eating a humble pumpkin, the thought incredulous.

Pumpkin Bread Rolls
Fall is synonymous with bread baking in my home. And not just any bread baking. Anything Pumpkin. Squash rolls top the chart every time and no one at home is bored of them.

And extracted a promise that I would bring them some as soon as I made them. I tried to fulfill the promise, but this time I had different plans for the …
Tsunth Monji – Green Apple Fritters
I have been waiting for this month’s Progressive Eats party day to arrive with bated breath! And it’s because I am sharing a dish from Kashmir that is virtually unknown to those who did not grow up there. It’s not a main stream dish in the sense that when I was growing up this was saved for and served on a very special occasion – Lord Krishna’s Birthday. In most Hindu families this was a dish served on the day of fasting (feasting). Although you abstain from eating grains, meats, and most vegetables – fruits are allowed and why not! …
Cookie Dough Brownie and Cheesecake Bars #Creative Cookie Exchange
Are they cookies? Are they Brownies? Is it a cheesecake? These were the questions floating around the living room. No one was asking me, but the guessing game was on. Sometimes I let them wonder without telling them what I am up to. Seeing me make a batch of cookie dough, whip up cream cheese with eggs and mix a batch of eggs and chocolates, the spouse and the offspring were trying to guess what I was making. Usually I finish my baking before the kid gets home, so she can come home to a fresh batch of goodies and …
