All-time favourite desi combos

 

What is so interesting about desi food combinations? Let me answer that question with one word, ‘everything.’ India is known for having a varied list of desi combinations. And scientists too, have figured out what makes Indian food so delicious. Indian food is a result of the precise pairing of ingredients which is very different from the West. Western cuisine consists of many dishes with overlapping flavours. Indian cuisine, on the other hand, does not have a mix of ingredients that overlap.  Well, this is all too technical, let’s just dive into the recipe bit.

 

I have handpicked some of the popular Indian combinations with a slight twist which are just one thing, ‘the best!’ Read on…

 

1.      Paneer Chole Bhature

Chole Bhature is the classic North Indian recipe which we have been enjoying since ages. But, what if you get paneer + chole + bhature together? Amazing, na? Here’s the recipe of Paneer Chole Bhature, with a soft paneer stuffing,  crispy bhaturas, served alongside spicy and masaledaar chole. You’ve  got to try it if you are a fan of this combo.



2.      BlackPav Bhaji

Pav Bhaji is every desi's guilty pleasure and no matter where you travel in our country, you will find Pav Bhaji for sure. But, if you're bored with the regular pav bhaji recipe, here's something unique - Black Pav Bhaji! The blend of some whole spices is what makes this recipe so extraordinary. Try it #GarmaGaram with pavs.



3.      Paneer Naan Pizza

The name of the recipe itself is so intriguing. You might be a fan of the popular North Indian duo, creamy paneer with crispy and buttered naans. But, here’s something more than just that. Not one, not 2 , but 3 of your favourite things are combined together to make this decadent Paneer Naan Pizza where naan is used as a base, topped with makhni sauce, paneer cubes and vegetables. Try it ASAP.




4.      JalebiCaramel Custard

Rabdi jalebi has become too common now, it’s time to try something different. Here’s a unique and interesting version for you. A western dessert served in desi way. The popular pudding, caramel custard served topped with juicy jalebis.  The best part is, you can serve it both hot and cold.



5.      Masala Cheese Kachori with Masala
Chai

Garmagaram Chai-kachori is  our go-to sham ka nashta, especially when it’s a good weather day. Move over the usual kachoris and try this with a masaledaar cheesy stuffing. When you bite onto one, mouth-melting cheese will ooze out and turn your snacking even better. Pair it with a hot cup of chai.




 

6.      Sambhar Khichdi

Khichdi, papad and achar, is  the definition of soul food for every Indian. Here’s a fabulous version of our comfort food combined with a flavourful sambhar recipe. The taste of sambhar is what makes it class apart. Serve it piping hot with fried papadums and achar to enjoy a hearty meal. Go for it!
