Snacks & Savories
A snack is a portion of food that is smaller than the main course and is often eaten in between meals. There are a variety of snack-options both packaged and un-packaged.

Main Course
The main dish is the primary dish in a meal. When at home, we usually don't go through all the courses of a meal. We simply eat according to the time and our hunger. And lunch & dinner both, generally consist of a main course only. In this list, you can choose from a variety of dishes for a main course. Whether eating as lunch or dinner; or planning for a 7-course meal, these dishes can form part of the main-course. Some of these can't be had by themselves. They need to be eaten with some curry/side-dish/accompaniments. Since there are way too many of them, I've filed them under a separate head.
Khus Khus Puri (Poppy seeds fried bread)
Pav Bhaji (Mixed Veggie Curry with Buns)
How To....
Keeping in mind that a lot of my readers are amateur cooks or don't know anything about cooking except that they have an interest in it, I've decided to post a string of How to..? posts that will feature some common food or food related topic. If you have any doubt on anything displayed, please feel free to email me or drop a comment here.

Healthy Recipes
→ Health is Wealth
→ Don't count your calories, count your nutrients
→ Food enriches life
If these are some sayings you truly believe, then you would love the following recipes. They are high in nutrition, low on junk and leave the tummy happy after eating. They need not be some exotic salad or juice... They can be something as simple as our staple Dal (Lentils) But their significant contribution to our body's nutrients-requirement cannot be met by any supplement.

I love baking! The successful rising of a cake just makes my heart jump with joy! :-D Unfortunately, my oven went Kaput. So you don't see many bakes right now. But I've got a lot of yumtastic recipes for Vegan cakes & cookies & I'll be making them as soon as I get a new oven.
