The sweet biscuits can't be called cookies (for those who know Indian brands--think Parle G biscuits or Britannia biscuits!). Crunchy biscuits and other 'namkeen' snacks make a great accompaniment to the Indian Chai. These flavorful and <b>savory carom seed biscuits </b>(aka <b>ajwain biscuits</b>) do too.<br>

Going to nanihaal (nani's house) every summer vacation was something we used to look forward to as kids. And this trip was all the more special because my mom's mom (Nani--my gradmom) became great grandmom to my twins, so the pampering was multifold-for me and for my kids.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My Nani and both my Mamiji (mom's brother's wife) cook such delicious food and so much variety everyday. In this post I'm sharing my lunches for the one month that I stayed with them (too bad I did not click pictures of my dinners.)</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You know there are times when love reflects through food...this is one of them.</span><br>

And just like how the <b><a href="http://spusht.blogspot.com/2014/06/dal-baati-choorma-recipe-rajasthani-cuisine.html" target="_blank">Dal Bati Churma</a></b> goes together, or there's the <b><a href="http://spusht.blogspot.com/2014/06/dal-chawal-khatta-recipe-rajasthan-cuisine.html" target="_blank">Dal Chawal Khatta</a></b> combo -- this one is a <b>Lapsi Chawal Kadhi</b> combination:<br>
<br>
Lapsi is sweet, made with broken wheat.<br>
Kadhi is sour and savory, spiced and flavory.<br>
Chawal is plain rice, versatile and nice.<br>

<br>
I traveled to Bangkok and India again few months back and this time, I have some more ideas on what to carry for families. And this time, I have divided the <b>gift suggestions</b> into categories and some quick notes.<br>

From their pizzas to pastas, from their healthy juices to mango lassis, from their Indian food to Mexican quesadillas. But of all their foods, my favorite is their <b>mixed salad</b>. You can choose the ingredients and dressings to build your salad, and if you choose it well - you can enjoy a crunch-a crisp-a soft-a sweet-a tangy and a lot of flavors and textures in each bite.<br>

I do not try to recreate their salads when I make salads at home now, but the way I make salads has changed.<br>

So I’m trying to prep a little faster, make things a little simpler, and cook a little quicker these days. While two years back I used to do a lot of things from scratch and use individual whole spices and follow all the detailing, it has changed quite a bit now. So when I made this <b>quick vegetable pulao</b> one day – instead of adding black peppercorns, cardamom pods, bay leaves, and all those <b>whole spices for pulao</b> – I added some garam masala powder that is made of the similar spices that go in pulao. Taste was not entirely compromised upon, just prepping and cooking time was.<br>

Because I always used to feel why would I order an 8 dollar dosa with holes - I'd rather have Mysore Masala Dosa so it would come with the potato filling and be filling for me as well. But once I tasted <b>Rava Dosa</b> at a restaurant when our friend chose it for her meal, I was sold. So crunchy and crispy and delicious, and yes--filling.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But then after that I still never ordered and ate it outside -- because I learned to make awesome <b>Rava Dosa at home</b>.</span><br>

It was a sudden, unexpected, and shocking death during his flight from India to Thailand, and the airlines had to make an emergency landing midway in another country altogether. Traveling with him was my younger brother who was only 20 at the time along with my grandfather who was 72 years old. Imagine their generation gap, imagine the young boy seeing his uncle choke to death, imagine the father seeing his youngest son die in his arms. And all of this had happened just one week after my wedding.</span><br>

Last year for <b>Badi Teej Sinjaara</b> about 90 women had a get-together at an event hall, we had potluck menu that was pre-decided and selected from (I took Pav Bhaji), a henna artist was called to apply henna on hands, some of my friends planned a game for everyone to play together, they performed a group dance, and we all had so much fun in those 4 hours of our Teej Sinjaara event!<br>

"lava" magically flows out. So
you basically have a chocolate cake that you can eat with the rich, saucy
chocolate "lava" which is like a chocolate pudding, or a chocolate
sauce. This <b>Crater Chocolate Cake</b> is <span style="color: red;"><b><u>NOT</u></b> </span>the <b>Chocolate Lava Cake.</b><br>

The full meal basically consisted of roti, curry, rice, dal, and salad, and once in a while there were desserts. She made several kinds of salads and the best part was that there were <b>no fancy salad dressings</b> needed.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One such salad was this simple, delicious, <b>sweet sour and spicy Mango and Strawberry Salad</b>.</span><br>

What would take 3-4 days under the sun for their water content to evaporate and dry out will take only 3-4 hours in the oven (the trade-off is smaller quantity).
