Aloo Dum/ Cooked Potato in thick gravy

During my kindergarten days I lived in Darjeeling, West Bengal for about a year. Aloo Dum is a dish we used to have there. I got this recipe from my aunt who lived in Darjeeling with her family too. I was too young to remember much about that place. But my mum tries to recall about those winter, going to school having khichidi and aloo dum. We had been to Darjeeling sometime when I was in college. Had corn, steamed momos but completely missed relishing aloo dum.

I do not prefer preparing potato dishes too many times but occasionally I make aloo dum for dinner to serve it with chapathi. This can be made with baby potatoes and really spicy. But I make it with normal potatoes without too many chunky pieces and spice level as medium.

Gobi Pakoda / Deepfried Cauliflower

One of the most unhealthiest preparation :-)...but I love it ! As a kid I always used to have porridge in the morning. Though I never liked the idea of eating porridge in the morning, my grandma was very strict about it. So I always hoped there will be something nice with porridge. In very rare situation gobi pakoda was prepared. Those were the golden days. I never used to worry about weight gain and "diet" at all. I used to have a full bowl of porridge without complaints :-). 

Now I am strictly on a "no deep fried" items. I made an exception to my diet last night. Prepared this for dinner as this is my husband's favorite too. A very simple and easy to prepare recipe.

Biscuit Roti/ Stuffed Poori

Its been over a year I haven't blogged at all. After Stuti is born I really never looked into blogging and also cooking in that matter. I prepare something simple and quick dishes whenever I find time only to avoid eating food from outside. 

Last week was my husband's birthday and I decided to prepare Biscuit Roti for breakfast. Biscuit roti is stuffed poori. The stuffing I have mentioned below is how I follow. You can make variations to it according to your liking. One of my friend said she makes toor dal stuffing which I am yet to try. Last time when we had been to Mangalore we had Biscuit Roti from famous "Balli" on carstreet and my husband became an instant fan of it. My preparation surely did not taste as wonderful as Mangalore ones but was good.
