Chicken Biryaani

Hey There! I am back with this aromatic biryani recipe for you all. Biryani is always associated with celebrations and weddings in India but that does not mean you cannot make it when you crave one. I have been meaning to post a solo biryani post since a long time but never got my way…

Chicken Drumstick Gravy

There are times when cooking becomes a cumbersome activity and you just want to close your eyes and want the food you picture in your mind to appear in front of you. I cannot promise how much of the latter part this recipe can deliver but it can definitely ease the process.   When I…

Fluffy Pancakes

I do not remember at what stage I jumped on the “I love PANCAKES for breakfast” bandwagon but now I secretly wear a shirt bearing those words! I can eat them at any time of the day and in any form. Especially, when I have delicious and colorful berries at my disposal, the foodie in me…

Spicy Prawn Masala

There is a reserved subtleness about this coastal delicacy that takes me back to a beautiful childhood summer memory on a  pristine konkan beach. It was a small cozy beach in Konkan, Maharashtra, which was at a  walking distance from our place. The location was perfect as it was away from the main street and among…

Smoked Eggplant Mash (Vangyacha Bharit)

Salt paprika is now a year old! This time last year, a food enthusiast in me decided to post everyday food recipes and I cannot believe how far we have come. Thank you so much everyone for your love and support in making it come this far. Your comments and appreciation keep me motivated to do…

Stuffed Peppers

This is the kind of food I throw together when I do not have much going on in the fridge. This happens more often than I would like as I am a sucker when it comes to making grocery lists. I overestimate my ability to memorize things and then end up forgetting majority of them….

Cappuccino Chocolate Cupcakes

Though I do not remember the last time I made chocolate cup  cakes,  I do remember the first time I made them, and boy it was a disaster! As Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I would like to share a small story about my first cupcake with my mom. I was 10 years…
