Curry Cravings

Through this site, I would like to introduce vegetarian recipes from all around the world. I always try recipes with different ingredients, so I came up with many other Indian flavored international recipes such as Indo-Italian, Indo-Mexican.I like modern cooking, but would love to keep originality to some recipes. Traditionally, in India, mother used to teach daughter cooking traditional recipes. But in my case, I didn’t know anything about cooking even when I got married. My interest in cooking became more creative since my family prefer home cooked food everyday. Also, everyone needs some excited menu. Repeated recipes make some of us boring over the period of time. That was the another reason I started mixing Indian flavor to international recipes and come up with some excited recipes. I would love to share those recipes with you all and make your everyday menu excited, too.

I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The layout look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon.

      Hi
      You can roll parathas and use wax paper between each rolled parathas to stack all your rolled parathas so that they don’t stick to each other. When you are ready to use again, take out of freezer and do not thaw, bake them immediately.

    Hi Bhavna,

    Tried to prepare your Quick Chilli paneer but something went wrong. When I fried the paneer after 1/2 an hour marination it melted and did not get the golden color as shown in your video. Could you please tell me what did I do wrong?

    Your preparations are awesome and I loved your lunch box ideas too. I have started implementing those. Thanks for all the quick recipes.

    Regards,
    Neha.

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Hi
      I usually don’t deep fry my paneer. I just saute with little oil. Not sure what went wrong. When you marinate paneer, it gets little soft but even after that it should not melt when you fry. Next time, do not fry, just cook with little oil very lightly and see if that works.

    Hi Bhavnaji,
    God bless u for rendering timely assistance to your followers.
    Your methods have actually inspired me.

    Bhavnaji, kindly let me know two procedures of preparing homemade fresh cream and coconut milk powder. As u know buying those products are cumbersome. I shall be thankful for your assistance.

    With warm regards

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Hello Sunderji
      Usually cream can be extracted from boiled milk. Boil fat milk and then allow it to cool and referigerate, next day, you will see some thick cream on top. For making coconut powder, you can shredd coconut and then allow it to dry under sun or in the oven at lowest heat. Hope this helps. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

    hey there!

    am a beginner in cooking. i tried your basic egless sponge cake . it didnt come out well. the color of the cake from inside was brown but the cake cake was soft. i used normal vinegar which we use for cooking. should i use white vinegar? and the cake needed more sweetness. could i increase the amount of condensed milk? the cake mixture was a bit tight ?

    could you please tell me where icould be wrong….

    the place where i live i dont get measurement cup…. could you please tell me how many grams of flour makes one cup…..?

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Yes, you have to adjust sweetness as per your taste and to make batter consistancy easy to pour, you can add water. White vinegar works for me but I guess other vinegar should work. And also measurements are important when it comes to baking so first invest in those.

    Recently, I was tested for various food allergies, following a mysterious reaction to something. I was told to avoid eggs, dairy, gluten, onions, garlic, peppers, potatoes, many nuts. I am really in a quandry finding variety in my diet. I do eat chicken and turkey, but no fish, shell fish, red meat. I just don’t want to eat turkey and chicken all the time. Help is needed. thanks, Judith

    I am not familiar with green gram. I know lentils are very healthy, but for some reason, eating lentils even in mashed form, or soups cause me to choke.

    Rule of thumb. If you use potato flakes and crock-o-butter, you are NOT cooking healthy.
    (1) learn English. Focus on grammar. You’ll thank me later.
    (2) purchase some measuring cups and spoons. Use them. Understand that 1 tablespoon is not equal to eyeball apporximately a third of a cup.
    (3) may be some speech therapy would be helpful.
    (4) perhaps take a cooking class. Watch Videos from Manjulas kitchen and vah-re-vah chef. Notice their flawless execution and knowledge of traditional Recipies.
    (5) don’t mess with the original. Who the eff adds buttermilk to Bhel?
    (6) most importantly, take a nutrition class. The English lessons should help you in this class. Understand processed food and for the first time in your life, make an educated decision about what you are feeding your family

    Feel free to contact me of you have any questions or concerns.

      Hello Shital!
      Thanx for your suggestions. I have many people who come to learn from me and I try my best to make everything better as much as I can. If I have more time, I would do everything you suggest, and I might do in future, but at present, my kids are more important than anything else. I am learning even with my kids…so I will sure learn slowly even English….

      Shital, all your points do not make sense here. It looks like you do not know Bhavna from beginning, if you watch her old vids, you will notice lot of improvements. And it is very big deal for those, whose first language is not English. As she always says, she uses English just as a mean of communication and there are more than 30,000 followers of her cooking and she post requested videos most of the time and always come up with better ideas and some healthy tips as well. So you really can’t say, she cooks unhealthy food. You can accept Manjula’s HALFE CUP accent but not Bhavna’s clear words…it just show some jealousness….but anyways, everyone has right to give opinion and Bhavna is always generous enough to welcome everyone’s opinion!

    That was not constructive criticism. You made the point that you are mean, insecure, and unhappy with your own self. I’m sorry, but you think Manjula aunty’s accent is better? Ever heard of the saying, “if you’ve got nothing nice to say, then just don’t say it at all”? Guess not.

    That really is a shockingly cruel post from Sheetal. How replied with such grace i dont know.

    In my opinion, under no circumstances should you ‘improve’ your loverly funky English, weegans and wegetarians everywhere would be disspointed. If you didnt know it all ready your Indian accent gives you much credibility in the minds of your non-Indian subscribers. And should I mention too, it is so sexy!

    The homespun style which you exemplify, is and always will be the best medium for passing on knowledge and skills from the kitchen. You can keep you prima-donna celeb chefs out of my kitchen thanks.

    Keep up the good vurk!

          With condensed milk, I never failed to make cake so not sure what wrong went with yours. If you follow exact recipe, you can go wrong. You can increase amount of condensed milk without any problem.

Is is oven or ceramic hub or what? Exactly what it is how to find it in India? I would appreciate if you help me find the right appliance(must be electric) to make each and every recipe including Gujarati Roti well.

    Just one question: In the pizza dough can you substitute almond or soya milk for the cow milk and still get good results?

    for making ghee…. you said “strain as soon as the ghee is done . dont wait as ghee would sit at the bottom again”

    my question is:

    does it mean that i should drain the ghee when its hot… or can i leave to cool for 10 to 15 min before draing the ghee…..

    plz reply!!!!

      Once ghee is ready, allow it to rest till solid particles sits at the bottom and then drain out ghee. Hope this make clear.

          the ghee came ot superb !!!! thank you!!

          i wanted to make trirangi katlis… instead of powder can i grind cshenw & other nuts with little milk into paste and then can i use it?
          will the result be the same?
          can i add little milk powder to add more flavor ? will it come without stiking to the pan like you ve showed in the video?

          plz reply!

          1. Bhavna Avatar

            Very glad to hear that ghee came out good. Now, about katlis, If you make paste and add milk powder, just make sure not to overcook. I do add sometimes milk powder when I make kaju katli since I do not like eating too much cashews due it’s fat and katlis come out perfect. If you overcook, it will be sticky and chewy so just cook till it gets little thicker and then allow it to cool down. When it’s warm or become like dough, ready to make katlis. Hope these tips help.

  86. joe Avatar
    joe

    thank you for the explanation.

    i made cashew katli . the taste was great but it was a bit sticky.

    before it leaves the sides of the pan as you showed in the video; i removed it from induction as it became a bit sticky. when it got cooled it didnt become like a bowl but a very thick and tight paste and it was also sticking to my hands…..

    could you tell me where i went wrong? did i over cook the sugar syrup?

    can i add the cashew powder to the sugar syrup once it boils; without making one thread consistency??? i find it difficult to make one thread consistency…. i tried 2 to 3 times to make it and every time it went wrong… could you make a video for the sugar syrup one thread consistency???

    or can i just add cashew, sugar , water everything together and just cook it ? will it be same ???

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Yes, sometimes if you have small quantity, it is hard to figure out sugar consistancy. So yes, you can add powder once syrup comes to boil and you can also add little bit of ghee once your powder gets mixed well with syrup and you should be fine. After that cook till it get little thicker but make sure not to make too thick. Hope this helps next time.

      1. joe Avatar
        joe

        i tried out what you said …. katli came okay… but i think i missed something out…..i hope; if i try some 2 to 3 times it will come out great..

        i tried “peda”; it came out perfect except i had one small problem!!!

        once it gets cool completley you told to add the sugar . i did the say way but when we eat we can find very small sugar crystals in them. can i use icing sugar or home made powder sugar???

        plz suggest me !!!

        1. Bhavna Avatar

    i tried your gulab jamun recipe… everything went well…. when i fried the balls they were soft in the begining and became hard after a few min. is it normal…?

    first i fried the balls and kept for few min and then i prepared the sugar syrup .. i added the balls to the hot syrup . by the time the balls became hard….

    i think i made a mistake somewhere here…. could you plz tell me what went wrong?

    should i add the balls to the sugar syrup when they are soft ? and should the sugar syrup be hot?

    i wanna make this for my dear one…

    plz reply!!!

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Yes, big mistake. You have to have syrup ready by the time you start frying Jamuns. You have to drop jamun right from the oil to warm syrup to get great result. Hope this will help you next time.

    I recently started viewing your channel on youtube and I think you have come up with some amazing recipes. I have not tried anything yet but am tempted to give it a try one of these days.

    Hi Bhavna,

    I have been watching your website for past one week for different kinds of recipes like pav, naan, black forest cake.

    I am planing to bake pav (dinner roll), but want to know where will I get Energy Egg Replacer and Vital Wheat Gluten?

    Is it easily availbale in Mumbai?Because as per your video both these things are very important to get good result? Or else pls advise substitute for it.

    Thanks

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Hi Shilpa!
      I am doubted if you could find this ingredients in India. Now, in India, most flour is with gluten as it’s not separated so you can leave out gluten. In place of egg, you can use other egg substitutes I have listed on website and shared video as well.

I have a question which cheese i use instead of processed cheese? bcoz i m in california and procesed cheese i can’t find easily some one told me that cheddar cheese gives same result like processed is it true?

      Hi Ruchi,
      Nice to hear all these? Now, are you looking for rennet free cheese? If so, I use cabot brand cheese because no animal fat used in it. Yes, cheddar cheese gives somewhat processed cheese taste.

    Hi, did you made a video about Tahini for falafel?

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Here is how I make Tahini paste,Makes about 1/4 cup
      Ingredients:
      1 cup hulled sesame seeds
      3 tablespoons or more extra virgin olive oil (see Note)
      Direction:
      Heat a clean, dry cast iron or heavy duty skillet over medium high heat and add the sesame seeds. Stir frequently until they begin to turn golden brown and then stir constantly. Be careful, sesame seeds burn very easily.
      Once they’re toasted, let them cool a few minutes then add them to a food processor.
      Start by adding 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Process the mixture into a paste, scraping down the sides. Add more olive oil until you reach the desired consistency (*see Note)
      Makes a little less than ¾ cup tahini paste, depending on how much olive oil you use.
      Store the tahini paste in the refrigerator in an airtight jar. Will keep for several months.

    Hi bhavna,
    I made black forest cake for my son’s birthday last week. When I freshly made it was spongy but when I kept it in the refrigirator it became hard. I kind of didn’t like it that way. What should I do to keep it soft until the next day. Am I making some mistake while baking like adding less butter or more coca etc… Please suggest. Thanks a lot.

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      When you bake cake with flax seeds powder or other egg replace, I noticed that they make cake harder when you refrigerate or in some cases even if you do not refrigerate. I usually bake the cake day ahead decorate the same day so I do not have to refrigerate longer and it doesn’t get hard. If you try my recent cake recipes, they won’t get harder. Such as I shared cupcakes and chocolate cake recently, they work great.

      1. veggielover Avatar
        veggielover

        I always bake the cake and cupcakes with condensed milk according to your recipe. I’ve never tried it with any egg replacer or flax seeds. Moreover we don’t get flax seeds here in Europe I guess. And also its difficult to find an egg replacer. I live in Switzerland. Here we get all the things with the French labelling. Sometimes its difficult for me to find some ingredients for a recipe. But thanks to you for sharing such great recipes without egg as we can’t eat cakes and pastries purchased from the market due to egg in them. Thanks a tonn for taking out your time for replying. 🙂

    Hi bhavna ,
    I’ve seen ur vedio for the recipe of fondant .It seems that it is easy to make it at home rather than buying from the market. But can we use another alternative for glycerine in this because I guess here we cannot find it with vegetable base. And can we use homemade natural colours like colours which we make from fruits and vegetables by squeezing out their juices. Will it be OK to keep the fondant at room temperature for 2 or more weeks with those natural colours.
    Thanks a lot 🙂

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      You can add just little oil in place of Glycerine. I am not sure about the colors. You may want to try it out.

      Hello
      It is normal to see shine on these cupcakes. If you want to fix it, you can roll cupcakes in powdered sugar and it will absorb oil.

    I want to know how to make roasted garlic dipping sauce and chipotle southwest sauce like subway for pizza. I could not find on your site. Can you please show me the method?

    1. Bhavna Avatar

      Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce Recipe
      Ingredients:

      1 large head roasted garlic*
      3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
      1/2 cup good-quality aged balsamic vinegar
      1 tablespoon tamari sauce or soy sauce
      2 teaspoons shredded/grated fresh ginger root
      1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil
      To make the sauce: Squeeze the cooled roasted garlic cloves out of the skins and place them back in a bowl. Smash the cloves into small bits (leaving some in chunks is perfectly OK). Scrape the mixture into a bowl and stir in the balsamic vinegar, tamari, ginger, sesame oil, and olive oil. May be prepared several days or weeks ahead and refrigerated.

      Bring the sauce to room temperature before serving. Ladle into shallow platters and surround with chunks or slices of good quality, crusty bread.

      Southwest Chipotle Sauce
      Ingredints
      1 cup plain yogurt, recommend European style yogurt, or Mexican crema (or crème fraiche)
      1-2 small chipotles in adobo, seeds removed – adjust to taste based on desired level of spiciness
      1 clove of garlic
      Juice of 1 lime
      Salt to taste
      Instructions

      Combine all the ingredients in the blender or mini-food processor. Mix until you have smooth creamy sauce. Taste and adjust the spice level based on your preference.
      Use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
