Kashi halwa is a rich, delicious sweet made using ash gourd or winter melon. Traditionally made with sugar, this popular sweet dish is commonly prepared during special occasions such as festivals and weddings in Karnataka.
While making this sweet at home, I prefer using jaggery over sugar as a healthy alternative but you can choose to use either. The recipe is super simple and easy to make, requiring minimal ingredients. The only (slightly) tedious part of this recipe for me would be grating the winter melon. But with that ready, this sweet takes approximately 15 minutes to get done. I do make this on regular days, especially when I find fresh ash gourd at the grocery store, but mindfully limit the usage of ghee by half (calories lol). However, when prepared on special occasions, I go all out and enjoy!

This Indian mixed vegetable korma dish fits perfectly for this weather. It is an aromatic and delicious vegan curry made with mixed vegetables, coconut, and spices. It’s popular in South India and is one of the yummiest side dishes to eat with roti, dosa, and poori.
My favorite main dish to eat the korma with is dosa. I generally stock up the store-bought dosa batter in the refrigerator, which makes it easier for me. Otherwise, the curry tastes equally delicious with homemade poori, idly, and roti/naan too.
The vegetables that I have used in this recipe are carrots, string beans, potatoes, green peas, and cauliflower. But you can include other vegetables such as zucchini, French beans, etc., too.
Coming to the preparation, there are two ways:
Although the first method is faster, I always prefer the second method. It’s simpler, and when cooked together, the veggies would absorb more flavor of the masala. So here’s the recipe!

If you are a Paneer lover or someone wanting to try it, this post is for you!
Paneer or Indian cottage cheese is a popular ingredient in north Indian cuisine, used in making appetizers, curries, and parathas. Making fresh paneer at home is pretty easy, but if you don’t want to spend time on it, find yourself a good-quality one at your Indian grocery store.
We eat paneer regularly – almost every week. That is why I prefer buying it. It’s usually 400gm, which is too much for the two of us. Therefore, I usually divide it into two equals and use it on two days. And cooking paneer is easier than it sounds – it literally takes about 3-4 to cook. Alternatively, you can munch (on a small amount) of it without cooking or pan-sear it and use it in salads.
Below are five easy paneer curry recipes that you make for yourself and your family! They are delicious and go well with rotis, chapatis, naan, or flavored rice such as ghee rice, jeera rice, Kashmiri pulao, etc. I hope you like these recipes. Enjoy!
