One of the best Indian desserts I've had. It is made of milk and light sugar syrup. Try this recipe from Vidya's kitchen.
Bengalis have a way with their desserts and somehow they never taste as good if people from other parts of India make it. I would say mine comes close.
The origin of this Kannada dish is Karnataka. It has unique, likable taste. The main spice ingredients are coriander, cumin, red chilies and cinnamon. What makes it nutritious are the vegetables and lentils.
I am becoming a big fan of buckwheat pancakes. Several people I know are staying from gluten. What better way to start off the day than with buckwheat pancakes. It is filled with nutrition, some carbs, protein, vitamins plus a lot of taste. Extremely satisfying.
Start off making your pancakes just with the flour. You can then enhance the taste even more with fruits, nuts, cinnamon, etc.
Many would know me as that extremely picky, discriminating food critic. That is indeed true. During my travels abroad I often skip unpalatable meals and live on protein bars, fruits and nuts. In other words, I would much rather starve than gag and eat bad tasting food. Although on the one hand I could be called difficult when it comes to food, on the other I do truly know what tasty, healthy cooking is all about. If you are reading my blog, you probably are in some ways a 'foodie' as well. So, enjoy my blogs and comment as often as possible. Check out my Web site swamyskitchen.com.
