Nothing but Fuchka party.Have you heard Ever? Fuchka is a famous Street food of India. Fuchka somthing different right !!! Actually in Kolkata Pani-Poori  is said by the name of  "Fuchka" in Mumbai it is saying Gol-Gappa. It seems Pani-Poori is the popular name in India. And this is also true that in taste this is vary from one state to another state. But I must say you that Kolkata's Fuchka is the one and only taste. I feel. Awesome !!! Awesome !!! Awesome !!!

Malabar Chicken curry.A famous Dish from South India. As per my knowledge Malabar coast is a beautiful place for holidays. As it is a district of Kerala I believe on these words that It is really a Lovely Place in India. In future I want to go there definitely to cherish its scenic beauty..Though I have a very little knowledge about Malabar foods.so it will be better If you suggest somethings about Malabar foods... As I live in chennai I tried few Malabar dishes in some restaurant. I  like Malabar Chicken Biriyani...a preparation of pure ghee with samba rice and  little spicy at all (I feel). A digestive preparation. And about Malabar Chicken Curry its really a spicy and rich chicken curry I made ever. I found this recipe from a TV show. And I must say about the truth that the recipe also belongs to one of the special south indian restaurant in Kolkata. The name of the Restaurant is Tamarind (opposite to Deshapriyo Park).

Whenever I am thinking for some special cuisine at my home, it has to be really a special dish for me. No any common dishes I would not prefer to follow absolutely. So Some state or region has its own culture for their cuisines. So we identify them only by their special and identical cooking preparation which are really well known by all of us.As for example For Mughlai khana we always know that Biriyani is the most favorable delicacy. Same to same Awadhi cuisine or Lucknow cuisine has their own specialty too. In maximum cases they are cooking in Dum Puckt style foods means cooking will be done in a big hundi with a lid including all the spices but in low flame. But think as Mughal culture and Lucknow culture are more or less same in their cooking style. Still it has to be some differentiation in some cases. Hope you got to know that why I had given so many lectures about the Awadhi Cooking. Because today I want share one Awadhi special recipe. It's a simple and easy cooking reci...

Kadhi a Traditional dish for Rajasthan and Punjab. There is no much more variation to make kadhi in both the regions. But difference makes for the spices. Each region uses some different spices for their kadhi preparations. Still its similar. Some people like to add curry leaves,some wont. Anyway if you ask me about kadhi,then for me its sounds great as I love this kadhi very much. In summer season its a perfect dish for everyone since lots of curds are using here and curds cool down the body temperature. In kadhi you can add variety vegetables as well as pakoras too.

One more Bengali cuisine . It is really fantastic starter with warm rice. A flavor of coriander leaves give a nice   texture and welcome to your Bengali Cuisine. But some people in Bengal says  it like chutney or sauce, as because they add little lemon juice to it too. But I like it without lemon juice and I follow my mom and she is not adding lemon juice too. In my childhood whenever I asked to my mom about the menus. And she put this ground coriander leaves or dhone pata bata in the menu. We felt so excitement and said "today I will only eat rice with dhone pata bata and that's all." Nothing is required if you have this ground coriander leaves with rice. Just fabulous green stater and one more option you can use it as a sauce with any snack items if you add little lemon juice to it. So have it enjoy it with warm rice.I hope you will like it definitely... So check out one easy and simple recipe here...
