As promised, it is my pleasure to share with you a recipe in which turmeric is a key ingredient. Gujarati khichdi (pronounced: khiCHdRiy) literally translates to ‘mish-mash’- sounds appetising, right? Well maybe not, but it is one of the most comforting rice and lentil dishes in the whole world (at least in my eyes!) I …
I’m ecstatic to deliver you a KO Rasoi guest recipe! I am so proud to tell you that this recipe was written and passed on to me by my dear mummy (to me, the best cook in the world!) Having learned from her father, who was a wonderful chef, she has been cooking with so …
A buzzing excitement always fills me when I know that I am going somewhere I only get the chance to go to once in a blue moon. It is as if I’m a child once again. Walking from the dirty, musky underground car park into the piercing night air I feel an incredible sense of …
Baby it’s cold outside. I’m not kidding, it’s horrible. Last night the torrential rain and horrific winds woke me up from a deep sleep. All I wanted to do was curl up under the sheets and dream away… Zzzzz… But it was soon time to wake up and get on with university work. After sitting …

This intriguing recipe was requested by a mysterious ‘Anonymous’ person in the ‘Ask Sanjana’ post where you are all welcome to request particular dishes or certain ingredients to be used …
Today’s post is going to be a quick one as it’s just a modified version of the eggless coconut sponge cake I made earlier. I have simply replaced the coconut in the recipe with almond extract and kewra water (screwpine leaf water). Kewra water is extracted from the pandan plant and often used for biryani in Indian …
Here I come with another traditional Gujarati recipe for you! When I was little I was totally obsessed with pasta, I could have eaten it day in and day out. So, to satisfy my cravings for pasta my mum used to make this dish for the family. It is a simple Gujarati daal with a …
It’s a fact. Gujarati’s can’t get enough of these crispy, spicy, soft little things! My recipe is one we traditionally make at home. I love the deep aromatic blend of citrus, chilli, coriander, ginger and cinnamon which is balanced with a delicate sweetness. Bateta Vada are really popular at parties and are great for snacking; …
