I have been resisting the temptation to make these Pakodas for a long time now. Monsoon brings with it cravings for hot,spicy,fried food. I am not a great fan of fried foods, but during the rainy season it is difficult for me too,to resist the temptation of these delicious minty Paneer Pudina Pakodas- PPP J (Cottage cheese-Mint fritters). This Friday for the Monsoon Magic seriesI have a recipe for spicy Paneer Pudina Pakoda. This is one of the recipes I would list under my ‘Culinary Accidents’. This accident sure was rewarding. See if you like it.

Kadhi Pakoda
I have learnt quite a few dishes from my Punjabi colleague. I have already blogged about the Beetroot Kanji and Makki di Roti Sarson Da Saag, she taught me.Kadhi Pakoda is one more recipe that I have learnt from her. The weather here is perfect for hot piping Kadhi with Pakodas – the Punjabi style. Kadhi is made differently in different regions in India. The Maharashtrian Kadhi is hot and spicy (will blog about it soon). The Gujrathi Kadhi is a little sweetish to taste. The famous Sindhi Kadhi is an altogether different recipe, which doesn’t use buttermilk at all….
Friday Monsoon Magic-Corn Chat
Rains and Corn (especially ‘Bhutta’-Corn on the Cob) go hand in hand. The fresh smell of the mud when it rains urges you to eat something steaming hot with a hot cup of Chai (tea). Steaming Corn Chat is another favourite ‘Corn-Monsoon’ recipe. Corn Chaat with a glass of garam garam (hot) chai _________________________________________________________Corn Chat recipe
Nutri-Sandwich
I love sandwiches for breakfast -They are very quick to make, you can sandwich almost anything between two slices of bread (sometimes even leftover curries), and very easy to carry. Usually I have my breakfast on my way to work so I usually end up making sandwiches for breakfast. This is a spicy but healthy Sandwich.I make it quite often especially,when I am in a hurry with the available veggies. I am sending my Nutri-Sandwich all the way to Newfoundland & Labradorfor Trupti’s WBB#12 –Spice it Up. Nutri-Sandwich for Trupti’s WBB#12 -Spice it Up
