    Multi Millet Dhokla | How to make multi-millet dhokla

    Multi millet dhokla is soft, spongy and tasty. It is ideal to serve as an evening snack or breakfast. It is a healthy twist to the usual dhokla. 

    With the awareness of the benefits of millets, each one is trying to include them in every possible. These days, I make jowar roti at least once a week. Ragi dosa is loved by all and I make it regularly at home. Ragi idli is healthy and ideal for quick breakfast. 

    The love for dhokla is never ending. Although I love the fermented ones, I still make these instant dhokla also. They are a quick fix, ready in thirty minutes and most of the times, my dinner is sorted. Earlier, I have shared are  corn dhokla, oats dhokla and rava dhokla. 

    Multi millet flour is easily available in super markets. It is a good way to get the benefit of various millets. Here, is a multi-millet thalipeeth ideal for breakfast.

  • Aloo Chaat / Bengali cuisine

    Aloo Chaat / Bengali cuisine

    Aloo Chaat is a delectable dish ideal to serve as a starter or evening snack. The goodness of potato with spices as a snack is made in different ways, this is from Bengali cuisine.

    When potatoes and chaat combine, it has to be something nice, isn’t it?  A toast to all the potato lovers, I join your bandwagon in this, potatoes are versatile and handy. They can be made into tasty snacks as Aloo 65 or a stir fry to serve with roti as Aloo Matar. Veg Jadoh is flavoursome and Aloo Matar Paratha is everyone’s favourite.

    About the West Bengal Cuisine:

    The Bengali cuisine is flavoursome and has a huge spread of confectionaries and desserts. The main course  uses some rare spices that add a taste to the dish. Panch phoran is one such mix that is used in many dishes.

    The Bengali cuisine has four varied type of dishes, charbya (food that is chewed), chosya (food that is sucked), lehya (food that is licked) and peya ( liquid ones). The wide range of milk based sweets, delicious snacks such as golgappa and the various lip smacking dishes from both the vegetarian and non vegetarian, makes it one of the most sought cuisine. Ghugni chaat is a popular and filling snack from this cuisine. The rice kheer from Bengali cuisine is utterly delicious and ideal for any festival.
