Suji halva is staple dessert in Indian homes; we make it on auspicious days, a quick dessert, as an offering in temples, on a rainy or a cold day or just without any reason as it’s the easiest and the quickest sweet treat!!

This recipe is a mix of Thai and Indian flavors. This curry is a family favorite and a part of special meals and Sunday meals . I am not a meat eater but this one meat dish I can eat happily as I know its flavorful, tasty, tender, juicy and above all does not have a strong meat flavorful which generally other lamb cuts have.

Khaja is a sweet snack from states of Bihar, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh in India. In Hindi language, ‘Khaja’ means just eat it and this sweet treat is like that. Just gobble!!

The best part is these can be stores in airtight containers up to 2 weeks, but I am sure they will not last that long J.

The smoking of food process is more or less same in all regions of India but is done with different ingredients and has many names. This is the beauty of Indian cuisine one process done with many different ingredients but the end result is same with different flavor!!
