North Indian Recipes

Aloo Dum

Aloo Dum

Among the many versions of Aloo Dum, today’s recipe is a favorite in our home. Cute round baby potatoes are slowly simmered in a yogurt based gravy this is subtly rich in flavor and spice but least bit heavy. Makes for a lip smacking side with rotis or flavored rice.



Dahi Baingan ~ Eggplant cooked in yogurt

Dahi Baingan ~ Eggplant cooked in yogurt

Brinjals play an important role in a typical Andhra vegetarian meal. Its the revered vegetable of Andhra cuisine and a family favorite. I tried Dahi Baingan, a North Indian style preparation to go with rotis and it didn’t disappoint. There are a couple of versions of Dahi Baingan one of which is this particular recipe that I noted in my recipe files. A creamy style sabji that makes for a lovely side with rotis. Goes well with plain rice too. Next on my to-try list is another yogurt based curry, Kashmiri Dahi Baingan.



Panchratan Dal

Panchratan Dal

Panchratan translates to ‘five jewels’. Panchratan dal is an exotic amalgam of five lentils that are simmered, in a delicately spiced onion-tomato base, to a creamy consistency. A cold weather, crowd pleasing favorite, works great as a thick soup too other than serving as a rich accompaniment to roti or rice.

Less is more. This tindora/ivy gourd recipe walks away a winner with the minimal of ingredients and a flavor to die for. I love the simplicity of this recipe and how comforting it is to the palate. Amchur or raw mango powder is what gives the tindora, a boost of flavor.
