Bhindi Masala

Recipe contributed by Rashmi Sampat

Okra is a favorite of many. My Son loves okra and can eat it everyday. Unfortunately, he wanted the same recipe day after day. Now, my husband and I got tired of eating the same thing. So, I tried something different and thankfully for us, my son loved it. This has now become our family favorite. Some of my friends also requested the recipe after tasting it. I hope you enjoy this delectable dish as much as we do.

Sindhi Besan Tikki Sabzi (Gram Flour Patty in savory curry)

Recipe contributed by: Shilpa Balwani, Gujarat, India

Besan tikki ki sabzi is a very popular Sindhi dish. One reason of the popularity is the base gravy which is so delicious and other because it is so quick to make. When you don't have many options in vegetables/out of vegetables, you can quickly make this and serve with hot phulkas (Indian roti). You can also fry the tikkis/patties and I am sure they would taste better. My mom suggests shallow frying is an option too as sort of middle ground. :)

This yum recipe is yet another contribution from my cousin, Shilpa. I can't state enough times that she is such a good cook! Look for other recipes from her on the blog. You won't be disappointed by the mouth-watering dishes.

Dum Aloo

Recipe Contributed By : Rashmi Sampat

Dum Aloo is one of my favorite potato recipe. We avoid fried food in my family, so I made these Dum Aloo's by baking them and it did not taste any different than fried version. So if you can save some calories by not frying, why not?

I have asked to prick the potatoes in this recipe. It helps potatoes absorb the spices fast, and potatoes will cook perfectly. If you like, you can fry the potatoes, too.
