Step aside, vegetarian meals. You've been kind to us these last few weeks, but today's the the last day of Diwali, and it demands some indulgent, hearty non-vegetarian fare! This Bhai Dooj, press pause on non-stop sibling rivalry and use the culture-mandated occasion to express your love for your sisters and brothers instead by darting into the kitchen and cooking them this deeply satisfying Safaed Murg—an Anuradha Joshi-Medhora classic inspired by her love for all things epicurean from the royal kitchens of Malwan. Although this restaurant-style dish from the chef behind @charoli_foods might seem like a lot of work, it's actually pretty uncomplicated to put together. But don't take our word for it; give it a shot yourself. Ingredients:- - Chicken Leg, 1 kg - Cardamom, 4 pods - Cloves, 8 buds - Cinnamon Stick, 2" - Dahi, 2 katoris - Cashew Paste, 3/4 katori - Ginger Paste, 2 tsp - Garlic Paste, 1 tsp - Mawa, 1 katori - Ghee, 1 katori - Lime, 1 - Fried Onion Paste, 1 katori - Green Chillies - Salt, to taste Method:- • In a kadhai, pour ghee and add in the whole masalas. • After two minutes, add in the ginger and garlic pastes. • Follow this up by adding the mawa. • Roast all ingredients. • Once the raw smell has vanished, add in the green chillies, chicken legs, cashew paste, and fried onion paste. • Cover and cook on a dum, on a slow flame, for 20-30 minutes. • Open the dum, squeeze a bit of lime, and serve. #Food #FoodBlogFeed #InstaFood #Foodstagram #Foodie #FoodLovers #EatingForTheInsta #FoodLove #FoodOfTheDay

We don't know about you, but we're still partying like it's Diwali, clutching onto one too many goblets of Jacob's Creek's Chardonnay! Let's just say we'll be attributing tonight's hedonism to that very deadly combination of festive season and Friday night. Clean and crisp, this varietal from Australia's revered winemakers, boasts an intense mix of fruity flavours (think citrus and melon), balanced with subtle notes of toasty oak. These flavours really pop when paired with white fish or creamy pastas, but don't let that stop you from enjoying it alongside your regular Friday night dinner, cuisine notwithstanding. Let's not waste another minute in raising a toast to a heady, happy festive weekend ahead! And, not to sound preachy, but don't forget to drink responsibly, folks! To stock up on Jacob's Creek's Chardonnay, find your way to TheCellar@Foodhall at our stores in Palladium and Linking Road in Mumbai, and 1MG in Bengaluru. #WineTime #WineLovers #WineGlass #WineWineWine #WineOClock

Waiting (impatiently) for the Diwali holidays to roll around can be a lonely affair. That's why we're swooping in to save the day by setting you up on a Tuesdate with these wonderfully spongy Spiced Cupcakes by Needa Khan of @foodbossindia and Head Pastry Chef @chantillythecafe. Featuring a cupcake batter that's sweet but not diabetically so, balanced with a kick of spice (à la cinnamon and nutmeg) and heaped with smooth, melt-in-the-mouth cream cheese frosting, these bite-sized babies make for the perfect weekday companions! Diwali can wait just a little longer.... Ingredients:- For the Cupcake Batter: - All-purpose Flour, 80g - Baking Powder, 1/4 tsp - Baking Soda, 1/4 tsp - Salt, 1/4 tsp - Cinnamon, 1/4 tsp - Nutmeg, a pinch (or two) - Butter, 60g - Castor Sugar, 50g - Brown Sugar, 45g - Egg, 1 - Vanilla Extract, 1 tsp - Yoghurt / Sour Cream, 60g For the Cream Cheese Frosting: - Unsalted Butter, 110g - Philadelphia Cream Cheese, 226g (or 1 brick) - Lemon Juice, 2 tsp, freshly squeezed - Icing Sugar, 500g, sifted Method:- For the Cupcake Batter: • Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a cupcake tray with paper cups and set aside. • Brown the butter in a pan over medium heat until it's a light, toasty brown. • Combine both the sugars in a mixing bowl. Pour in the browned butter and whisk well. Allow the mixture to cool before adding in the egg. Whisk till well-combined. • Now add the dry ingredients and yoghurt and combine thoroughly. • Divide the batter into six cavities of the tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick pierced through the centre comes out clean. • Let cool completely before frosting. • Finish with a dusting of cinnamon powder and stick in a tiny cinnamon quill for presentation. For the Cream Cheese Frosting: • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and lemon juice until creamy. • With the mixer on low speed, add in the icing sugar one cup at a time, until fully incorporated. • Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy before heaping it on the cupcakes.

We're just standing in front of this heavenly malai chini toast, thanking it for blessing our feeds and humbly asking for it to magically get in our bellies. As we turn the corner to celebrate Diwali, there's no better time to revisit this Bengali icon, the earliest crumbs of which can be traced to the bylanes of colonial Calcutta's chai gully. In fact, thanks for this invention can largely be attributed to the British, who opened our eyes (and stomachs) to the art of sliced bread layered with butter. Today, it's safe to say that childhood nostalgia doesn't come sweeter than a bed of warm toasted bread blanketed in smooth, luscious clotted cream that's been slathered on all-too-generously and topped off sparkly caramelised sugar crystals (you may send those sprinkling credits Salt Bae's way, if you please). Best enjoyed with a cup of piping hot tea this time of the year, when the mercury plummets and wintry aromas fill the air. What's your go-to nostalgic nosh during festive season? We'd love to know, so drop your answers in the comments below! #Food #FoodBlogFeed #InstaFood #FoodFoodFood #Foodstagram #FoodLover #FoodLove #FoodOfTheDay #EatingForTheInsta #ReelItFeelIt #FoodReels

What's festive season without mithai? And what's Diwali without ladoos? Unthinkable. And unacceptable. That's what. It's almost time for the many joyous celebrations and get-togethers to commence, and if you're looking for a quick, easy sweetmeat to make to get the festivities rolling, it doesn't get better than these Rava Ladoos from @theepicurist. A sureshot crowd-pleaser, these little balls of sugary goodness, though unassuming in appearance, boast a sublime flavour combination that features some of Indian festive sweets' most beloved ingredients, including saffron, cardamom, coconut, and of course, rava. Now, let's see those pots and pans, so we can get rolling! Ingredients:- - Semolina (Sooji/ Rava), 4 cups, very fine - Ghee, 1 cup, runny (not thickened) - Coconut, 1 1/2 cups, freshly grated - Sugar, 2 1/2 cups - Water, 1 3/4 cups - Cardamom Powder, 1 tsp - Saffron Strands, a pinch Method:- • Heat the ghee and roast the semolina on a low-to-medium flame. • Stir for 20-30 minutes until the flour turns golden-brown. • Add the freshly grated coconut and stir for another 20 minutes until the mixture turns pink. • Remove from heat. • For the sugar syrup, melt the sugar in the water over a medium flame and turn off the flame once it comes to a boil. Add in the saffron strands and cardamom powder. • Add the syrup to the semolina mixture and mix well until it cools down. • Once cool, transfer to a large plate and knead well. • Separate tiny ladoo-sized portions and roll. #Mithai #Ladoo #FestiveSweets #FestiveDesserts #Dessert #DessertTime #DessertBae #DessertGram #DessertsOfInstagram #DessertHeaven #Dessertstagram #Food #InstaFood #Foodstagram #EatingForTheInsta #GoodFood #GoodFoodGoodMood
