Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Cabbage bondas

    • Ganga108 on August 27, 2025

      Not difficult to make. A delicious rainy day snack. They can be made flat into a patty, or round to resemble potato bondas. I've even cooked them in a paniyaram pan. Made regularly over the past years, and can replace cabbage with mixed shredded veg.

  • Upma

    • Ganga108 on February 11, 2023

      Nice upma but not the best recipe I've made. Also the dish used a lot more water than the recipe indicated, altho I may have used a finer semolina than intended. Don't you hate it when the recipes don't indicate course, medium or fine semolina (and other such products)?

  • Mushroom and chickpea pulao

    • pamacea on January 25, 2026

      Would need to significantly adjust cooking time to avoid soggy rice. In the end, all these delicate spices were completely obscured by the cloves.

  • Saag chicken

    • pamacea on May 24, 2024

      Very good and very easy. Substituted paneer with excellent results. If using frozen chopped spinach, I’d recommend NOT draining it (as I did) and needed to add about 175ml water.

  • Chicken kofta korma

    • pamacea on June 08, 2025

      I used chicken thighs and so improvised the sauce to include some on the kofta ingredients. Quite good, but I won’t make that substitution again.
