This is a healthy sandwhich. 4 start for me.

love the salad!

This is a wonderful recipe

this is a good powder to use..

This is a great recipe. It easy on the budget for parties.

This is the most VFM book on the market

I thought that this was a really good enjoyable read.

Great paratha recipes here...

I think this is a really neat book

You will love this..

Good recipe. Paneer and Baby corn go well together.

Fab recipe.

For baby corn lovers..

This is my favorite Panki recipe. Turned out fluffy and not too spicy

this is just excellent recipe. i like it . thanks

very good expalination for making it. just superb. thanks

I not only enjoyed making the dal, but enjoyed eating it too.Savs the trouble of cooking dal & vegs separately.Goes well with rice.

I have tried and its a delicious soup.

Healthy and tasty

this recipe was very easy to use. i cook khichu all the time now. the only different thing i do is add a pinch of haldi powder when tempering my ingredients. THANKS TARLA!!

Always curious to make whole wheat bread as there is no guarantee what quality you get in India. There is a tendency to have 75% whole wheat and 25% maida in making whole wheat bread. Even 5 star hotels in Mumbai do this. For those who want to stay fit, this is a no no. This recipe is 100% whole wheat!!! Yes. Eat in moderation to stay healthy. To make it healthier, cut the butter and use 2 tablespoon olive oil.

Awesome. Very healthy. Spinach and mint make a great combo. I have this juice at night, 2 hours after dinner. The lemon in this dark green juice helps to retain the colour and enhance the absorption of iron in it. Its a healthy mix of veggies.

Very healthy. Moong dal provides the first class proteins and the stir fried vegetables provide the carbs to make a healthy meal.

Very healthy. Green moong dal provides the proteins and have it with stir fried vegetables.

Bajra is healthy and combined with paneer it gives you a complete meal. I love this and often have it for dinner.

Healthy. Great protein booster as both moong dal and paneer have lots of it.

Awesome recipe! This is something really unusual and never heard of. I tried this recipe and it turned out to be simply amazing and delicious. I never imagined that we can make something like kadhi using tomatoes and that too with such less oil. WOW! Keep up the good work Tarla ji.

Looks like an Indian Salsa….tastes truly amazing with Chips and snacks like Idlis, Dosas and for that matter any parathas! I tried adding a little sugar to this to make it kids friendly, but it tastes better when it is little spicy. I think it’s a nice way to give an Indian touch to an international cuisine!

Wow…a jain recipe with an international touch? This one I am surely going to try. The best part of this recipe is that all the ingredients are basic and no fancy things are used. And even the recipe of tortillas is so simple and convenient. Loved this recipe.

I was anyways bored of making regular mango and chilli pickles and now I’ve found a treasure for my pickles collection which I can make and enjoy at any time of the year.

Hmmm… Never imagined that Bean Sprouts can taste so yummy and tasty with all Chinese flavours mixed up. It is quite easy and quick to make. Children can also try their hands on it. I had used this recipe as Horsd’oeuvres and also have served as a warm salad. Trust me..it works!

As the recipe says, this soup is actually very soothing and delicious. Making and having this soup in a rainy day or in winter makes it very appetizing and is a good way to relax and enjoy the weather.

It’s a nice way to make a pizza at home which is so quick and easy to make. The tomatoes flavour topped with oregano and chilli flakes makes this recipe mouth watering and irresistible. Now I don’t need to wait for the plans to go for a pizza parties…Thank you Tarla ji.

A good party recipe which can served on the table. I have tried this recipe using other types of pasta like penne and fussili and the results were good. I combined 2 different types of coloured pastas and it was even more colourful and appealing to eyes.

Couscous has a Low glycemic index of 18. It’s 85% carbs, 14% protein, 1% fat. Very healthy as the salad will burn slowly in your body and keep you full.

Ideal for breakfast. Broken wheat has a low GI of 41 and is far healthier than white rice or semolina 66 GI. I prefer this to Upma which is not that healthy.

Bulgur wheat has a low glycemic index (41) in combination with moong dal (protein) and vegetables make this dish rich in carbohydrates, vitamin C, iron, protein and fibre. Note that rice has a GI of 69 and you can see why broken wheat is better for you.

Great low cal version. Used low fat curds and note that the olive oil consumption is only 1 tsp. At restaurants, you will get 2 or 3 tablespoons olive oil which makes this very unhealthy.

I have converted this Kadhi into a healthier option by using low fat curds and replacing ghee with oil. Gram flour (besan) has a low GI of 27. The only unhealthy part is the sugar. Not sure how to solve that. You need to cut sugar levels in your experiment!

Interesting recipe. Never imagined that we can make halwa from fruit like peach also. I tried this recipe at home and simply loved it.

A good combination of apples and tomatoes…Everyone in my family loved and appreciated the uniqueness of this recipe. It’s like an instant energy booster to start your day. I always have this drink when I really do not have time for an elaborate breakfast.

I tried this recipe and it came out very good. My husband loved it. this is really a very healthy dish, simple and easy to prepare. Thanks Tarla for posting this recipe

Awesome. It's spelled Fajita though. In Spanish, the J sounds become our H like Jalapeno is pronounced Halapeno etc. Keep up the good work Tarla ji!

good idea.....to save besan from getting burnt,(for new cooks) it can be added to the puree itself

must try.tured out very good.

I make this all the time. It extremely easy and a success with friends and family.

This one I tried last Sunday from my Mughlai Khana book, It turned out so delicious, only change i made was I added 1/4 cup of curd in the vegetables while cooking and garnished final dish with golden brown fried onions.. it was really a show stopper for my guests.. thanks tarlaji..

This dip is really good and easy to make. I have tried it several times in parties and it has always been a super hit!! When you make this for your loved ones be ready to share the recipe as all will definately ask for it. This dip is great when served with chips. My all time favourite.

This wrap is sure to be an all time favourite with kids as well as adults. Potato the ingredient that is loved by all and when combined togeather with cream cheese and vegetables makes it a complete 1 meal dish. A must for all!!!

like the change from bread crumbs...surely will bring in change in my recipes ....thanks for the new twist

This is awesome,my family loved it. Just perfect for my toddler!!

I often make this dish for quick healthy dinner served over plain rice. Baby corn and broccoli makes wonderful combination, cooks in no time in microwave.

Though a wonderful novelty dish, I doubt you get this kind of rice served even in Mexican restaurant. Its filling one dish meal, requires little extra effort and time. Pair it with some bean enchiladas and salad and you're all set for Mexican theme party!

My all time favourite...follow the recipe as it is...always a great success.My Ma in law loves only indian food but she always enjoys Macroni Hot Pot as it spicy and tangy...my guests from U.S.A.also loved it so much that they took this recipe home.

this one is my daughter's favourite!

I love this simple recipe for masoor dal. My kids are not big fans of plain old masoor dal but this recipe turns masoor dal into something quite magical. Fabulous on taste and incredibly simple this is a good recipe to have handy when you are short for time and ideas on what to cook. I use dried fenugreek as its not always easy to find fresh methi leaves where I live and it works just as well.

quick and nutritious alongwith taste and yss, children can easily try and would like definitely. Once i had tried with just lemon,rock salt without chinese touch still it tasted nice..and now this one sounds 5 star hotel dish.

Good One.. A Different presentation style

Good One.. Quite similar to rasam. and good taste for a change.

very pretty looking these cookies taste just as delicious! Before cutting the cookies, I refrigerate the roll for an hour. This makes the cutting easier.

amazing recipe...easy to cook and relished by one and all.

I tried this recipe. It was great!!!

excellent dish! while kids are being bored of the usual masala dosa, this seemed to be a nice variant. the unusual chinese flavour inside the south indian dosa is a superb fusion food!!! thanks for the wonderful recipe.

This is a dish with a delicate flavour that pleases the taste buds with gentle sweetness. The Corn and Methi partner very well to give this simple dish a delicious aroma and taste. This recipe became an instant hit with my family and friends. I love it because it's so ridiculously easy to stir up and serve. I tried powdering the pepper and sprinkling it on top of the dish and it worked equally well. I gave this a perfect 5/5 because my friends and family have made repeated demands for this dish.

This is an aromatic dish, with rich spicy flavour and taste. I loved taking in the flavours of the spice as I was cooking it. The ingredients complement Paneer beautifully, except for Cardamom which I thought overshadowed the flavour of the dhania powder and the garam masala. This could, of course, be attributed to personal choice. But I would give cardamom a miss the next time. Overall, this fragrant dish is true to the spirit of Indian cuisine - spicy and rich, yet fairly simple to cook!

I have tried this twice and came out wonderful both the times. The papad is a very innovative (and healthier) change from the normal bread crumbs. Also surprising is the very little amount of oil that goes inside the balls. Suggestion: Try without the tomato ketchup and schezwan sauce. Also add some mint and coriander leaves to the mix. Gives it a very distinct Indian flavor.

Can I use sugar instead of jaggery in this recipe. I always goof up with jaggery because sugar it is easy to check the strings.

i tried this recipe and believe me it turned out awesome...i did not know patra leaves can be used so innovatively.. thank you tarlaji for a 5 star recipe!

It is very difficult to find asparagus in my area...can i use canned asparagus and how much? pls pls reply soon tarlaji i am planning a party next weekend.

is it realy true cooking in iron utensils increase iron content of a recipe? can i use pressure cooker to make this recipe..is it still iron rich?

hara chana and mint awesome combination...tastes great with chilli garlic sauce!

unusual combination! i drink fresh amla juice every morning...i must try it honey and star anise..is it ok if i do not use amla crush i want to avoid extra sugar

little lemon juice perks up the flavour...try it.i did, it turned out amazing!

How can i use fresh orange juice in this recipe? what other combination do u suggest instead of apple and orange.

my husband loves thick shakes and frappes..but can i use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla..he likes chocolate with coffee.

This is my fav.rice item. Cooked lot of times with little addition of fresh malai and once tried with fresh fruits cubes e.g.apple,orange,grapes,cherry this gives shahi flavour.

Just love the flavour of fennel seeds in the kachories,tastier then the dhai kachori available on the streets. I make small kachoris as it is easier to eat.A good snack to serve during diwali as you can prepare the kachoris in advance.....just top rest of the ingredients when the guest arrive.
