Pesarattu, the quintessential Telugu breakfast dish

Ask any Telugu what his/her favorite breakfast is… nearly all of them will vouch for their Mom’s Pesarattu and allam pachadi (ginger pickle) or upma-pesarattu. Actually, make that all of them. Yes, that’s how loved this breakfast dish is!

And it doesn’t hurt that this extra tasty dish is also extra healthy, and packed with proteins. And so versatile that you can modify its recipe to suit your dietary needs, and still retain the taste. And its very very tough to not get this simple dish right!

A beauty called Shahi Tukda…

Also known as Double ka Meetha , Shahi Tukda is a typical Nawabi dessert, served at most Hyderabadi weddings and functions.

However, I’ve been led to believe that  these two – Double ka Meetha & Shahi Tukda have slightly different methods of preparation.

Sriracha Sauce

I haven’t heard or known about Sriracha sauce till I read the recipe on White on Rice’s blog, and I was set in my mind to try this one out the minute I finished reading the recipe. What's not to like in this recipe!

The base of this recipe is red chillies, so use as much as or little as you want. The more you use, the hotter your sauce is, obviously!
