Purani Dilli’s Al-Karam Kebab House … from the young and foodish!
if you are longing for some authentic Purani Dilli grub, would rather just hop across to somewhere closer than a ride into Old Delhi, this is the place to head for.

Chicken Shami Kebabs … patties from the past!
“What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?” Lin Yutang Here’s a change from cakes, cookies and desserts. An Indian savoury dish I experimented with a few weeks ago. Got it pretty right! Shami kebabs, as they are referred to in the Indian subcontinent, make for great cocktail snacks if you make small bite sized patties, and wonderful evening snacks served with lime, sliced onions and a green chutney. Serve them as main course, and you got a quick, delicious meal on the go. I often serve them with parathas with a tossed sliced onion, lime and green chili salad on the side, or…

Too hot for all kids to be at school, so we have them home for another week. Phew! On the brighter side of life, we did manage to get a few random showers, which means we might expect…

CHICKEN RESHMI KEBABS…SIMPLY SUBLIME & OFF TO SGCC’s
“I could talk food all day. I love good food.” Tom Brady There are recipes that you try & you think yum, but somehow life moves on & they get added to the list of ‘things I tried at least once’. And then there’s stuff you subconsciously turn to making quite often, comfort food, with seems to fill in the blanks perfectly. They tend to meet many boundaries with ease. These silken kebabs are one of those wonders! I’ve made almost similar kebabs once before, but thought of making these on the lines of the Middle Eastern burger patties that I’d made some time back. The basic difference I found…
