Carrot Cake

Its October and i can see that people are all set for the October feast out here in Germany. Back in India its time for Durga puja (Dusshera, Navratri). When i was a kid i would wait the whole year for this festival, Its a full on 4 days of energy pack festival in India. In west Bengal Durga pooja is celebrated with all pomp and show, you will be amazed with the number of pandals and the different styled Idol of Goddess Durga. Its time when the city of Kolkata is on the light show.
I have planned to visit the Pandal here in Stuttgart and pay my respect to the Devi Durga.

Methi Aloo stir fry

Methi aloo is what i call a sober side dish in the Indian Thali. The outcome of incorporating the fresh Fenugreek leaves with potatoes is wonderful. This easy dish can be prepared in just minutes.
This is my mums favorite stir fry and this recipe has been shared to be my mummy.
Its perfect for those days when you wish to have something light and less spicy.
Do you know that after fast its good to break it with little green leafy vegetables. Back home vegetarians consume so many different types of Leafy vegetables. Most popular are spinach(Palak saag), methi saag, lal saag, bathua saag, pui saag, amarnath saag and the list continues. My state special saag(green leaf) are Konark saag, kalmi saag and chana saag. Yes in India we have n number of vegetables and grains which i miss so much at times.
Anyways coming back to the methi saag, which is favorite of so many people, here is my mums special saag recipe.
