Thai Peanut noodles are the noodles you didn't know you needed in your life. Crunchy, sweet, salty and sour-it is all at once and much more. Being a cold noodle dish, you can even make the sauce beforehand and refrigerate it. Enjoy peanut noodles at any time of the day and pair it with some steamed dumplings too!

Quick and Easy Soya Manchurian

Soya Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese recipe which is quirky and to be honest, new for me. I hadn't really heard of soya manchurian until my mother told me about it. The only manchurian I have heard about is Gobi manchurian. At first, I was a little sceptical about it because I had never had deep fried soya chunks before. I thought they would take on a rubbery texture and not taste good. But I was surprised when it was still soft and fluffy on the inside while being crispy on the outside. you know what? You could stop right after frying them and even enjoy them as soya nuggets. But go ahead and give the manchurian a chance to shine too, it won't let you down I am sure.   The soya chunks become a little soggy after about 20 minutes, so you have to be quick while making the sauce/gravy. It is a pretty dry dish so I would classify this as a starter rather than a main. Side story: I thought it wouldn't be dry and I could serve it with roti, turned out I couldn't even ...

The ratio I find easy to work with is 1:4 for fat: sugar. You can use butter or ghee for your fat. Ghee has a little aftertaste(i realized this later) so butter works well too. Sugar takes time to caramelize, so don't speed up the process. It will only burn your sugar and you will end up with candy or sticky taffy-like situation. Trust me, it took me 3 tries to understand that. It is okay if your...

Khaman Dhokla

Khaman dhokla is a traditional Gujarati dish made with besan or chickpea flour. It is soft, fluffy and is a perfect breakfast or snack. Mildly sweet and tangy, it hits the perfect balanced taste like in most Gujarati dishes. They are gluten-free, so no need to worry about your diet. You can use vegan yoghurt too if you prefer vegan food. Very easy to make and so delicious! I personally love Gujarati cuisine and culture. Vibrant and lively, the state is a hub of shopping, bright lehnga-cholis and mouth-watering food. Right from khaman, khandvi, jalebi-phapda to undiyo, every time I try a new gujju dish, it simply blows my mind!  In this recipe, I will share methods on how to make khaman dhokla by traditional fermenting method as well as the instant method. The only difference between the 2 is that the traditional method needs some time to ferment so it gets a nice tangy flavour, while the instant one might not be as flavourful but still soft and springy.... You need to have some tim...
