❤ Tandoori Biryani ❤ Growing up in a big Indian family, every function from birthday to wedding were always celebrated together. ”Kyuki asli majja toh sabke sath aata hai” 😜. A huge gathering with we cousins jumping around, parents engaged in mystic convos and grandparents reminiscing their old days. All these happy moments were celebrated by making of my grandpa’s patent dish – Biryani. I to date remember the aroma of basmati rice soaked in chicken gravy served with raita. This tandoori chicken biryani in frame is a heartfelt tribute to those happy & carefree days. Tandoori has always been a difficult flavor to achieve at home, due to lack of charcoal tandoor. What I do to nail the flavor is smoke the marinated chicken using small piece of hot charcoal and drop a spoon of ghee over it. Immediately covering it with a lid, traps the smoke in the vessel and helps chicken absorb the flavor. Please consider this as my contribution to #ccplateoflove, hosted by @culinarycultureco Keep supporting: @testedbyhoggers #testedbyhoggers #homecooking #instadaily #streetfoodies #fusionfood #vegan #veganrecipes #vegabond #vegeterianrecipes #eggs #biryani #egg #veganlife #maharashtrianfood #streetfoods #streetfoodlover #streetfoodindia #streetfoodmumbai #homemadefood #plating #foodsofinstagram #goodfoodindia #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #vasaivirar #indiansuperfoods (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSMzQjlDg3o/?utm_medium=tumblr

Last couple of days, it has been pouring all over Mumbai. And as much as monsoon calls for chai and pakodas. This plate of hot and spicy chicken rassa equally fills the void for me❤ In frame: Bhakari: Rotis made with steamed rice flour, toasted over hot hot tawa 🤪 Chicken rassa: Spicy chicken gravy made using whole Indian spices and curd as the base. Last and the most important is the duo : White onion and lemon. Coz a true Maharashtrian never leaves raw onion out 😜 Also for me there is something incredibly soothing about dining on a banana leaf. 😇😇 It simply accentuates the experience many fold. Are you a banana leaf fan as well?? Let us know in comments 😄 ❤ Dm for the chicken gravy recipe ❤ Keep supporting: @testedbyhoggers #testedbyhoggers #homecooking #instadaily #streetfoodies #fusionfood #chickenrecipes #lemonpepper #chickencurry #nonvegetarian #chicken #maharashtrianfood #streetfoods #streetfoodlover #streetfoodindia #streetfoodmumbai #homemadefood #bubbletea #bobatea #boba #foodsofinstagram #goodfoodindia #indianfood #indianfoodbloggers #vasaivirar #indiansuperfoods #marathimulgi (at Mumbai, Maharashtra) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRWwPf1F5GR/?utm_medium=tumblr

❤ Ras Malai ❤Swipe left for the recipe ➡➡ This Bengali dessert has a permanent place in my heart. Absolutely love the spongy, juicy and melt in the mouth texture. This is usually made using milk, an acidic, sugar, saffron as base ingredients. There's also an easy alternative to use @gitsfood Instant rasmalai mix.

❤Kesar/ Saffron Shrikhand❤ What's your favorite Shrikhand flavor?? Comment down below Shrikhand is an incredibly popular dessert in Maharashtra. Creamy smooth texture, flavoured with saffron and richness of dry fruits is what makes this bowl of Shrikhand irresistible. It's a preparation of hung curd, powdered sugar and other ingredients as per the flavor. I had this Kesar shrikhand from Bhajanlal. Several other Shrikhand brands I absolutely love are @chitalebandhu and @amul_india 📍: Bhajanlal Dairy Farm, Kaman, Bhiwandi Well known for its milk products and Indian desserts, it becomes a must visit for the sweet tooths. It's lush green dairy farm a small detour from the Ahmedabad Mumbai highway and approx 2 hours drive from Mumbai, but worth the distance.

Which essentially is char grilled Panner and potatoes marinated in turmeric and jeera, later cooked with onions, green peas and assortment of Indian spices.
