Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Yogurt sauce (Raita)

    • mjes on September 24, 2019

      This is a bolder raita than many recipes - cilantro, chile powder, and onion being less common in raita than the other ingredients. This makes it great when one has deliberately toned down pakora fillings for some diners.

  • Stuffed green pepper fritters (Pakoras)

    • mjes on September 22, 2021

      These pakoras are served for tea, as appetizers, or as a side dish. The Anaheim peppers have just enough heat to stand up to the tamarind filling. These are addictive.

  • Shortbread biscuit (Nan khatai)

    • mjes on September 24, 2019

      I'm trying out a variety of shortbreads in preparation for Christmas - one using benne seed flour, one with rice flour, and this. It's impossible for cardamom and pistachio to not be great in a shortbread. This leaves the quality of the product dependent upon your flour and your butter. I happened to have local single source flour, so I went out to get local single herd dairy butter. The cookies (biscuits) were divine.
