Seven Favorite Blogs on Indian Cooking

December 19, 2008

It's easier to have a varied spread of dishes on the dining table now than ever before. If you are in the mood to make Dhokla for a quick snack in the evening or pav-bhaji for dinner or rava onion for breakfast, it's just a click away. Thank to numerous wonderful blogs on Indian cooking, getting recipes is a lot easy now. With most authors displaying colorful images of the cooked dishes, one doesn't have to yearn for a Sanjeev Kapoor or Tarla Dalal book anymore. Those books still remain my point of references for exquisite dishes such as the Biryani, for everything else it is blogs. Here I list seven of my favorite blogs. It's a mix of South Indian and North Indian cuisine in almost all of them - none caters entirely to a specific type of food.


  1. Nupur's One Hot Stove : Great recipe for street-style Pav Bhaji


  2. Indira's Mahanadi - recipes listed by ingredients. So if you are stuck with a seasonal vegetable that doesn't otherwise great taste and wondering what to make of it, hop on to this blog. For all you know, there might be some great ideas.


  3. Aayi's Recipes - regularly updated and a great place to look for Maharashtrian recipes.


  4. Saffron Trail - Recipes from South India by Nandita


  5. Timepass' Simple Indian Food with an emphasis. "Cooking made simple" is her mantra.


  6. The Yum Blog - yet another on South Indian cooking


  7. Menu Today - Stop by to get recipes for podis. Not frequently updated but has a good collection of recipes.
