Phodnichi Poli (Resurrected Leftover Roti)

A very popular Maharashtrian breakfast is Phodnichi Poli. LeftoverRotis (Poli as it is called in Marathi) from previous night are recycled the next morning for breakfast, by dressing them up with some spicy tadka (tempering). I also add some available veggies to make it tastier and healthier. Nothing is as comforting as a hot spicy Phodnichi Poli for breakfast! You can also substitute Rotis with leftover Rice, Bhakris or Bread to make Phodnicha Bhaat (Rice), Phodnichi Bhakri or Bread chi Bhaji/chivda respectively! Like many fusion recipes in my kitchen I love to sprinkle some Chutney Podi on my Phodnichi Poli…

Bendekay (Bhindi/Okra) Gojju

Thank you all of you for your wishes, I am feeling much better now. South Indian food was restricted to Idli-Sambar-Dosa- chutney- Rasam that was till I got married. After marriage I learnt so many wonderful recipes from my mother-in-law, not just idli-dosa etc.. but some really nice curries, rice and Rotis. Ajay’s family hails from Bangalore ;Iyengars settled in Karnataka for generations together (and now he is settled in Maharashtra). It’s a fine blend of Tamilian + Kannadiga cuisine, and now my addition- +Maharashtrian cuisine. So we have some very hybrid recipes cooked in our kitchen! This is a…

Ridge Gourd with Jowar-Wheat flour dumplings

I always wonder what keeps My Foodcourt going? I am not someone who is very good with words , and so the writeup on posts are usually quite small and only occasionally elaborate. My food-photos are ok but not exceptional;I get on an average 5-7 minutes to photograph any of my recipes, before my little one decides it is high time he took charge of the camera! Then what is it? Of course I love your feedback and encouragement, the most important thing that keeps me going. And then there are recipes like these which I love to share with…

Dear Anita

Dear Anita, You have no idea how your little provocationhas unsettled my taste buds for the past week. I have been craving each day for those hot, oily floating balloons from the day you posted themat the Mad Tea party! Clicking on any random blog on the Food Blog Desam made matters worse. I found myself drooling and ogling at all those sinful puris. I decided to end my suffering, got up early (inspite of this being a weekend). I did not want anything to come between me and my puris (read my little one). I got up with this…

About Me

About

    My experiments with cooking go way back, when I stayed in a hostel for my higher studies. The ‘Mess’ (literally) food was good just to satisfy the stomach, not the palate. I really missed my mom’s food then. I still do. A self confessed foodie, I love trying out new recipes. ...
