Summer Recipes : Dudhi / Bottlegourd Raita

March 29, 2014

Bottle Gourd is a boring vegetable, no doubt. There is hardly a person who loves it. It’s one of those “damn! it’s dudhi for lunch today” kind of vegetables, very difficult to glam up or make delicious. It has no flavour of its own, so when fried into a kofta or made into a spicy koottu, it is somew

SaffronTrail is on YouTube | Recipe for a Winter Salad

January 27, 2014

Since I have decided that I will do something newsworthy, every single month of 2014 (at least newsworthy of the blog headlines), this is the big news of Jan 2014. Saffron Trail is on YouTube. After Blog–Facebook Page–Twitter–one might think YouTube is the natural progression to this train of thi

Khamang Kakdi : The best cucumber salad ever

October 17, 2013

Watch a video of me making Khamang Kakdi. I’m a Bombay girl, born, brought up and spent all my years in that city. In fact, my maternal family has been in Bombay for three generations before me, so our attachment to that cuty is deep rooted. I’ve been out of my home city for some 4 years now and wh

Lentils, Pumpkin and Sweet Potato stew : One pot dinner

October 15, 2013

I cannot be a self respecting food blogger and not post a pumpkin recipe for that time of the year when pumpkins are omnipresent on the internet. Actually, I didn’t even realise this when I made this stew for dinner. Indians don’t need a time of the year to use pumpkin. It is cooked round the year i

Yard long beans curry : Karamani curry – Garden to plate

November 17, 2012

Yard long beans (Chauli / Karamani) have not been my most favourite vegetable, because they are often tough and stringy when bought from the supermarket. Ever since I started growing these in my garden, I’ve changed my opinion about this vegetable. Seeds from Auchan (formerly SPAR) Supermarket, Ban

Chai Spiced Mini Pumpkin Mini Bundts with glaze – #bundtamonth

November 13, 2012

This Diwali, I didn’t get down to making any of the traditional goodies. And I managed to find a valid excuse. Being down with the worst cough episode of the year during the festive season is such a dampener. But when loving neighbours get you home-made goodies, you can’t help but muster some enthus
