Delicio Recipe List

Dhokla is a popular & delicious Gujrati delicacy, known for its irresistible taste and flavour. Generally prepared from chickpea flour / besan, which is soaked and fermented. The fermented batter is then steamed, cut into pieces, tempered with mustard seeds, coconut and curry leaves and garnished with fresh coriander leaves. I used a little bit of plain bhujiya for that crunchy effect. Previously used to try the instant dhokla mix and steamed in pressure cooker, as I never quite had the fool-proof recipe. I have blogged regarding Besan Dhokla in microwave. So again tried the authentic Gujarati recipe as stated in Indian Cooking Challenge , hosted by Srivalli.

Cooking was not one of my Mom's favorite things, but there were several things she made and enjoyed making. Spanish rice was certainly one of them, and I always loved it when she made it.

In the spirit of this article by Garrison Keillor, lets make some potato salad for the 4th of July! I know it would never occur to you to buy potato salad.... would it? Uh... I must confess to having bought macaroni salad before. From Walmart. I'm sorry. There's really no excuse for that, is there? Especially when homemade is so easy and so, so much better tasting and better for you. Yeah, better for you. Read the ingredient label on store bought macaroni or potato salad. I guarantee you will find stuff on the list that you would not put in your homemade salad. If its not something your great grandmother would have recognized as food, it probably aint good for you! So! Potato salad! Lets make some! Boil about 3 pounds of potatoes . Drain. Now you come to a fork in the road... do you like chunky potato salad, or do you like it smooth? Up to you here, whether you chunk 'em up or mash. I like to add a couple stalks of celery , some onion , sometimes a couple hard boiled eggs...
