Corn dhokla

 I made half proportion - half cup sooji, quarter cup besan, 1/2 cup crushed corn, 1/4 cup yoghurt, 1/4 cup water, salt, turmeric, a spoon of oil, ginger and green chilli paste. Boil water in a pot, grease a dhokla plate. Add about a spoon of eno, a bit more water and mix in one direction. Add to the dhokla plate, sprinkle some paprika and steam for about 15-20 mins. Heat some peanut oil, add mustard seeds, sesame seeds and a pinch of hing and add on top of the dhokla. Garnish with chopped cilantro.

Guest post - Bhinda nu shaak

 This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi!  Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking.  This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...

Here's my version for a quick reference : Mash leftover rice, salt, haldi, mirch and Besan into a dough. Do not use water (or use sparingly). Make small dumplings (I made tiny round ones). Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...
