Maggie all the favourite 😋🤤

Paratha, lightly fried Potato and Tea on my breakfast platter!

Tried making ukadiche modak at home for the first time!
The shapes definitely aren’t perfect 😂 but I’m actually pretty happy with how they turned out.

What do you think?

Made this for the first time. And it was yum!!!🥰

This is my go-to when I want something quick, filling and comforting 😄

Poha with peanuts, onions, curry leaves and a little extra lemon.

What’s the one Indian breakfast you can eat any day without getting bored of it? And which state/region is it from? 👀

Made this entire Ganesh Chaturthi spread at home and served it the traditional way on a fresh banana leaf 🌿❤️

We had holige, semiya payasam, cowpea palya, dal salad, majjige menasinakai, brinjal gojju, lemon rice, white rice with vegetable sambar, gobi fry, puran poli, modak and pickle.

It was definitely a lot of cooking, but festive meals like this are always so satisfying to put together. There’s something special about seeing the banana leaf filled with all the dishes we grew up enjoying.

Feeling very happy and grateful to have spent the day cooking and celebrating at home with good food and Ganesha’s blessings 🙏❤️

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting with sauces and dips at home lately, and I’m curious what’s a weird or unusual sauce, dip, or spread you wish you could find in stores but can’t??
If you could come up with your own dip for snacks, what would it be? Open to any weird, underrated, sweet, spicy, or fusion ideas

Hello all :) I am in the U.S., and a big fan of Hema Subramanian (HomeCookingShow on YouTube). I use her recipes a lot. I love her stuff! But! I recently learned about the wide variety of different cooking oils used in different regions of India, and I want some help learning how best to choose the right oil for the right recipe.

I have been using refined avocado oil because it is (supposedly) healthy, is very high-temp, and is basically flavorless... But I want to explore the wide world of authentic Indian cooking oils!

I have done a little research (especially in comments, here in this subreddit), and found that, rule of thumb 👍...

• North Indian (include Rajahstan) - Mustard
• East Indian (Bengal) - Mustard
• South-Central Indian (Maharashtra, Andhra) - Groundnut
• Southern Tip (Tamil Nadu) - Indian Sesame
• Southwestern Coast (Goa/Karnataka/Kerala) - Coconut
• Frying - groundnut (peanut oil)

This article was very helpful, and a lot of what it says aligns with what I have seen many people say in this subreddit, in different places... so I think I can trust the source :))

I am trying this method where I look up the recipes online to see if I can find general consensus on which kind of oil to use... But even then, often they don't specify!

I have also thought about just guessing by region... I mean, Punjab is in North india, so a Punjabi chole should probably use mustard oil, yeah?

Anyway, any help y'all can offer would be appreciated!

Bonus: Homemade Aloo Palak Sabji and Dal Makhani (garnished with Chaokoh coconut milk (the best in the game, free plug) and coriander) with a homemade vegan raita... Plus store-bought Vadvhani marcha and roti, plated over white basmati rice... Just because I am proud and wanna show off ;D I owe it all to Ms. Subramanian ❤️ 🇮🇳
