This Kofta curry is my favorite among all the kofta curry’s I have ever tried. This dish is actually time consuming as we have to prepare kofta, deep fry it and then preparing the  curry but trust me this is worth trying. I can count on my finger tips the times I have bought raw bananas. Most of the time I ended up preparing kofta or tikki from it. 😛 Though never got chance to share the recipe with you all because it was gone even before clicking pictures. 😀 But today I decided to share the recipe and here it is. 🙂

This creamy restaurant style kele ka kofta is very easy to make but a bit time consuming. So whenever you have time MUST try this kofta recipe. I would you suggest to prepare this for your guests as they will love this dish and be ready to receive the compliments. 😉 😀

Serve this melt in mouth kofta dish with roti/ paratha or rice and enjoy the lip smacking kofta curry. Happy tummy…happy you. 😀

A dish which is very popular and one of my favorite dish straight from Mathura, U.P (Uttar Pradesh) “Dubki Wale Aloo”, this curry is specially served with khasta kachori in Mathura and in North India. Imagine a beautiful rainy morning and having Khasta kachori with this dubki wale aloo and adrak wali chai. Sounds interesting…yeah? Well my weekend was kind of like this. 😀 I just replaced the kachori with masala poori. 

This is a very simple curry for those days when you don’t want to prepare an elaborate meal or you’re running short of time to prepare a wholesome meal. Try this curry as a side dish to rice, roti/ paratha. Almost everything was added on the go and the curry was ready in less than 20-25mins. If you are making this curry I would suggest you to serve with poori/ bedmi poori/ masala poori or with khasta dal kachori for breakfast with a garma-garam chai ka cup 🙂 and enjoy the delicacy of Mathura.

Poori, the one item which is ALWAYS there in the menu during any festival, big or small occasions. Like it’s mandatory to have poori in the menu. 😀 This is one of the most versatile recipe which can be made in various ways and can be served with any curry. You can make poori sweet or spicy. AND it can be eaten in breakfast/ brunch/ lunch or dinner.

Poori’s are mainly served with potato curry in EVERY part of India. Trust me no meal can be more tempting and comforting than this. 🙂 As it’s summer so I rarely cook deep fried food but when it comes to making poori JUST ignore the weather and enjoy the meal 😀 Today when I was wondering what to cook for breakfast that’s when my dear husband asked me to prepare Poori and potato curry for lunch as the Shravan month has started and we can’t have non-vegetarian meal so what’s better that Poori- potato curry to enjoy sunday 😛

Though I am not bored of eating same old poori every time but this spicy poori is a nice variation to the regular one. Just add some spices, knead n knead and knead..deep fry and it’s ready. Yeah it’s as simple as that. 😀
