Baked puri in badam milk
About:
Soft, fried discs soaked in a sweet, delicious and fragrant milk spiced with cardamom, saffron, nutmeg, pistachios and almonds, this is an elegant and classic South-Indian dessert!
My mom makes excellent polis, but specifically, her milk polis are always stellar winners! It’s one of my absolute favorite desserts. Just the aroma of the spiced and sweet milk draws me to this dish. The milk base is very similar to that of ras malai, so this is sure to be a hit with everyone.
But here just to make it healthy I baked puris instead of deep frying. Soaking of Puri’s made these Puri’s very tasty and guilt free.

Masbele Sambar/Ridge gourd stew
About:
This sambar is very easy to make, and uses only a few simple ingredients. Ridge gourd, onions, garlic, cumin and tomatoes. This is light and comforting dish. I love to use tomatoes to help neutralize the taste and the tomatoes add the right amount of acidity to balance the taste.
