Chorafali Fafda

Chorafalli Fafda

Gujarat is famous for its number of snacks. But one of my favorite is 'Chorafali fafda'. Its the most common dish during festival at my home. In my family Diwali is totally incomplete without Chorafali fafda. It is the combination of all the healthy lentils. Its very crispy, sprinkled by spicy masala and  eaten along with mint flavor green chutney. Here is the recipe below to try them at home...

Shahi palak curry

Shahi Palak Curry

Everyone in the family avoids spinach, specially kids. Cooking same kind of curry every time will definitely not work. We have to think different ways of preparing these veggies. This time I have tried spinach by giving a flavor of cashew nuts. This curry  is little creamy with roughly chopped cashew nuts in each byte. Along with it, it has spicy and little tangy flavor too. Here is the recipe - shahi palak curry, and believe me no one is going to avoid this curry at home.
