Biriyani no one can bet this meal, if it is in the menu. A famous Mughal delicacy which is very familiar in the whole world. Though it has different tastes in various states and various countries. Still it gets its own identity for Traditional cuisine. You may hear about Lucknow Biriyani, Hyderabadi Biriyani, and Kolkata Biriyani by name. But if you consider the ingredients , preparation method , tastes and time for each, they are very much different too. So it can not be said that whats the origin of Biriyani.  The word 'Biriyani' is derived from the Persian language. One of the theory is it comes from 'brinj' , which means rice and another theory , it came from the word 'beriyan' , which means fry or roast. Whatever may be origin . It is just awesome in taste and flavor I can say. Friends I would like to share with you the recipe from kolkata one. Kolkata Biriyani , my all time favorite choice. If you look at the ingredients here , you will find some speci...

It's almost lunch time !! Today going to share one more Thali as per my choice !! Though it is not from any specific regional at all ..... but much Healthy and Tasty Thali if you ask me about !! My suggestion will be this mini Thali which takes very less time to prepare by keeping its nutritional values intact . But it must be a lunch option as it contains Shawrsho/ Sarson Saag (Mustard Green Leaves) .  Other menu like  Palak Dal  recipe you will get through clicking on link .... and there is no doubt about the nutritional value of Palak/Spinach which I have mentioned before ...... and about taste ,without any  compromising , I can say you never loose the chance to prepare again......  There are many recipes of shawrsho / sarson saag from Punjab region , they usually consider this saag as a sabji and have this with chapathi . But here I am not following punjabi version , My recipe goes with rice perfectly . So let's take a look over the recipe .....  Here i...

Have you ever tried any recipe with Leftover foods ! There are many ! One of them I am going to share with you today ! It is basically a traditional recipe from Bengal used to prepared in Summer ! When it is too hot during summer , you are just tired to prepare foods everyday , you can try this one . In my childhood My mom used to make this in summer season and we were loving it . Yesterday I had prepared this one and after long days it made me feel like its summer again ! In Bengal it is called Paanta Bhaat, Outside Bengal it may call Cold Porridge .  Now come to the point, if you have any leftover rice which you made yesterday , you can make this recipe with that leftover rice only ! Just pour some water in it and keep it in refrigerator for few hours ! And I heard few people say if you make it with just prepared hot rice , by pouring cold water in that it is much beneficial as it helps to reduce gastric problem as well. But I had prepared with leftover rice only ! Now sharing th...

I think it seems a long time has taken whereas I did not post any rice recipe . Yesterday night I prepared something scrumptious rice recipe which made our dinner just luscious .

An got the idea from my husband that "make that chickpeas pulao what you made once." And that's it. I prepared delicious Achaari Chickpeas Pulao . So thinking to share with you of-course . Achaari Chole Pulav an exotic rice recipe from Punjab . A pickle flavored rice with chickpeas gives a special touch to your dinning ! I love pickle a lot. And if it is mixed with rice , then there is nothing else for enlightening me. Though as per my knowledge , the mango pickle paste is the secret ingredient of this delectable preparation, but I used mixed pickle here . So choice of pickle flavor is yours . And a special add on (Sahi garam masala) makes it perfect ...
