Sandesh moulds

Posted on December 19, 2015 by bombayhowrahdiningcar

These beautiful stone moulds from Aniruddha’s mother are used to shape the famous Bengali sweet sandesh (shondesh). And I’ve added my own non-Bengali touch to the sandesh I made by decorating them with colour 🙂

Makings of a new dish.... Tomato jelly...extracted over 4 hours by allowing the juice from fresh tomato pulp to drip, so it retains a golden hue. Flavoured with salt, sugar and garlic. And then set in the fridge. Currently topped with fried raisins and ginger slivers, but that will eventually change. The concentrated flavour of tomato in that jelly is just lovely! Much to be done with this one :) #newmenu #menudevelopment #tomato #tomatojelly #concentratedtomato #bhdcexperiments #bhdc

Went for chaat today afternoon at Bengali market, based on recommendations from friends. Had a choice between Bengali Sweet House and Nathu's, so decided to try both! Finally had golgappas! Went for the Sooji Puris which were really nice. The filling of potato and channa is a bit sweeter than the Pani Puri filling in Bombay, but the pudina water itself was nice & zingy! The papdi chaat was good, but I feel like I've had better. Then we went across to Nathu's and tried the Bedmi Puri with Aloo Subzi, Boondi raita and an absolutely delicious Saunf (fennel seeds) pickle. Super good! Ticking all the right boxes on this trip for sure! #bengalimarket #bengalisweethouse #nathus #nathussweets #golgappe #golgappa #papdichaat #bedmipuri #bedmi #chaat #delhichaat #bhdcholidays #bhdcmeals

A significantly later, latergram post, as work got in the way... Had a really great meal at Comorin in Gurgaon earlier in the week, which is part of the Indian Accent group. The restaurant serves a mix of small and large plates which is a more contemporary way of enjoying Indian food, similar to Bombay Canteen (still my favorite). We had Lemon Gunpowder Idli (tangy and fluffy!) and Green Chilli Prawns with Mizoram Black Rice (absolutely delicious), Banana Leaf Betki, Mutton Chaap Pulao, Andhra Gongura Chicken and Malai Paneer Rara (I'm ordering paneer everywhere since its so good here!). The Idli and Prawns were my favorite, but everything else was delicious. We were with a friend in case anyone was wondering how we packed away so much. #comorin #modernindian #contemporary #gurgaon #smallplates #sharingplates #idli #mulgapudiidli #greenchilli #mizoram #blackrice #bhdcholidays #bhdcmeals #delhi

When in Delhi, eat good North Indian foodl! And Gulati at Pandhara Road helped us do just that! The decor and piped music reminded me of similar restaurants I ate at when I was younger 😊 Sticking to our 'eat more vegetarian' resolve, we started with Dahi ke Kebab...which were really soft and quite delicious. Followed by good ol' Palak Paneer and Dal Makhani with Laccha Paratha. It doesn't get more cliched than that 😬 The food was really delicious though! Hit all the right notes, even though I'm feeling super stuffed now! I think after this trip it will be a long time before I crave this food again 😂 #delhi #punjabifood #northindianfood #pandhararoad #gulati #gulatirestaurant #dahikebab #palakpaneer #dalmakhani #lacchaparatha #bhdcholidays #bhdcmeals

Our food tour was led by the amazing JD of @foodtoursdelhi. His knowledge of the area, the history of all the food stalls and his engaging company made this one of the best food tours we have been on. Our final two destinations were a walk up to the roof top of Gadodia market in Khari Baoli. Once owned by a single family, this is now owned by 25, mostly business owners. The rooftop has been the setting for many a movie and while we were there another film crew was doing recce. We enjoyed some Kabootar Bazi, the art of pigeon flying, took in the sights and sounds of the area and the Fatehpuri Masjid right next door and got chased away by one of the residents 😂 An e-rickshaw ride took us to our final destination, the magnificent Jama Masjid. What an experience this was!! Would strongly recommend it to anyone looking to experience old Delhi 😊 #olddelhi #chandnichowk #airbnbexperiences #foodtour #foodtoursdelhi #gadodiamarket #flyingpigeon #kabootarbazi #fatehpurimasjid #jamamasjid #bhdcholidays #bhdctravels

The one and only, Paranthe Wali Gali! Delighted that this was part of our tour! Our guide took us to the original shop in this lane, Gaya Prasad Shiv Charan, established in 1872 and with the 6th generation now running the store. They started with only 4 parathas but now serve 40 different ones! We went for a gobi (cauliflower) and mooli (radish) paratha and hold your breath...they deep fry the whole paratha! No wonder it's so popular. Each paratha is served with a banana and tamarind chutney (lovely and unusual), aloo (potato) & pea curry, spicy kaddu (pumpkin mash), aloo methi subzi and a coriander chutney The parathas were thin, crispy and absolutely delicious. I have to try and fry the ones I make at home! And each of the accompanying dishes were delicious too, particularly the pumpkin mash. We were almost tempted to have another one...but better sense and a mildly protesting stomach prevailed 😆 #olddelhi #chandnichowk #airbnbexperiences #gayaprasadshivcharan #paranthewaligali #parathe #paranthe #gobiparatha #mooliparatha #foodtour #bhdctravels #bhdcholidays
