The world of Indian breads is vast and varied. From rotli to naan, paratha and poori, they can be toasted, baked or fried. Adding herbs and spices is common and I love experiment with different flavours. My favourite kind of poori has got to be infused with turmeric and red chilli and is also …
Saffron and Lemon Shrikhand Doughnuts – a recipe for my new Food Network UK chef page – they’re perfect for finishing off a grandiose banquet. After a good few weeks of cooking deliciously rich and decadent dinners (it’s been hell having to eat them all by myself, I tell you), I’m finally ready to …
These Shrikhand Doughnuts are a game changer for anyone who loves Indian fusion desserts. The doughnut recipe is eggless and the shrikhand is based on my classic home-style recipe which calls for hung yoghurt, flavoured with saffron and cardamom. I have never been so obsessed with a dessert in my life than I am with …

It’s a bit like a chapatti. It’s a bit like a stuffed paratha. But it’s also in a league of its own… because it’s sweet! 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 …
Want a bite? It would be awesome if I actually added peas to my Easy Peasy Aloo Paneer Paratha. I wish I had thought of the ironic jokes I could have made before I rolled them. Oh well. I’m sure these would be delicious with peas too! I served my paratha with Crispy Tindora and …
