Now before anything else I’d like to say, no this not puff pastry, no this is not a traditional flaky pastry and no it doesn’t follow any conventional rules. But yes, it’s super easy and works wonderfully with a variety of bakes whether sweet or savory. I’ll share examples where […]

This is an easy but very tasty snack to make at home. You can serve it as an appetiser or even as a side with mains or better yet make a sinful gravy and drop these into it for a sinful mutton kofta curry. This recipe has evolved and aged […]
A cake that I do several versions of for different occasions. The one that I’m sharing with you today was what I had made with our dear friend Vasu. He had visited us in Delhi in October 2017 and I was baking to celebrate 10 years of ATA . I […]
This preparation works well as a side with an Indian meal of Dal and Rice or to be enjoyed with some Pav or bread. I even love it with mashed potatoes and sometimes just as an appetiser. It’s super easy to make and always turns out very very good. Basic […]
I am sure most of you are exactly like me when it comes to momos. I could have momos everyday of my life and still be craving them. I have run i to so many different recipes for them and each one is just as awesome. This is my recipe […]

A fajita in Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine is usually any grilled meat that is served as a taco on a flour or corn tortilla. The term originally referred to skirt steak, the cut of beef originally used in the dish. Popular meats you can now use include chicken and other […]
A fairly complex meal but worth all the effort. The separate dishes in this feast have been added to our favorites palate from different trips and experiences in our lives. Of course having Yeti, The Himalayan Kitchen in your city helps revisit the flavours over and over again. I shall […]
Mutton is a meat enjoyed far and wide all over the Indian subcontinent. We love it every form be it as Tikkas & Kababs preparations or wholesome gravies. The recipe I’m taking about today is a kind of recipe followed in northern India in the states of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh […]
I was a child of about seven years of age when I had my taste of Yakhni of any kind. We had gone over to a family friend’s house for dinner and a nice wazwan had been prepared as there was some occasion that was being celebrated. I remember seeing […]
This wonderfully fiery mutton dish is favourite in our household. It gets its name from the wonderfully Kashmiri red chillies that are generously used in the preparation. I picked up the recipe a few years ago from distant family and have stuck by it. It has never let me down. […]
There aren’t too many people who don’t love jalebi. Though we all have our preferences, some like them super fine and crispy (I am one of those people) or some like the thick fat jalebis. The point is we all would love to make them at home if only they […]
Pita bread is tastiest when home made. And the best way to truly enjoy it is to make it fresh and consume immediately. In short the recipe is very simple and basic; Knead, rest, roll, rest and cook. I personally prefer doing pitas on a cast iron skillet rather than […]
My go to cake in summers. A gateaux is a lovely layered cake that a loaded mostly with fresh cream and fresh fruit. I end up doing many versions of this cake. The one I’m sharing here is what I made for a friend’s birthday. It has the layers of […]
I know there is going to me much discussion on this recipe as it may not be the usual go to recipe for many of you. I have been making my butter chicken this way for years and not once have I got a bad review. This is a pure […]
If there was one thing I hated while growing up it was bananas. Well so much so I had convinced myself I was allergic to them. The only way I would have them was in a milkshake made by my Mama, he loaded it with vanilla and made it all […]
I love cooking with ripe bananas. They give you the best base for a yummy ice-cream or cake. They need little or no additions, and in no time you have a yummy dish prepared. I was in conversation with Aditi recently when she asked for a banana pancake recipe. So […]
Who doesn’t love cupcakes? and to add to it one can pair them with white chocolate and fresh forest berries the experience is a heavenly one. I have been baking from a very young age and the one aroma that means cake for me is that of a freshly baked […]
We had family visiting and I couldn’t resist to use the opportunity to cook and bake and feed my loved ones. The idea in my head was simple. We needed to make sure there would be an elaborate collection of desserts that we could enjoy over the week long family […]
Almost all of my recipes have been learnt from mothers, grandmothers, nonas, Aunts across the world. Recipes that were discussed in broken foreign languages and then made together as demonstrations, because food is a universal language and we always understood each other when we cooked together. The recipe below is […]
Comfort food at its best, keema mutter can cheer anyone up. I have grown up eating keema mutter both with roti as well as with rice though a lot of my friends and family insist that keema must be had only with rice. I think keema if made well is […]
No child that grew up in India spent their childhood without being completely in love with chocolate eclairs! (okay correction! any child who is round about my age today) They were the go to treat to ask for when one went to the market or an outing with the parents. […]
there are few people who don’t share a love pizza. What better way to enjoy it than to make some at home. The recipe below is one of an easy pizza base using instant yeast that allows one to not need to wait that long before we bake. so try […]
Nothing can possibly match up to having your kitchen filled with the aromas of freshly baked bread. We often don’t attempt bread baking as we consider it either too difficult or tedious. But trust me, it is none of the above. Bread baking is not only easy but also highly […]
