Tandoori Chicken and First Blog Anniversary!

Did you check out the mango mint chutney? Please do. And then lets talk about tandoori chicken. Or lets first talk about Journey Kitchen (that rhythm's right?) 

Mango Mint Chutney

Chutney's are an inseparable part of Indian cuisine. Be it pakora (deep fried vegetable fritters), samosa (deep fried triangular pastry with veg and non veg fillings), tandoori chicken, cutlets or kebab, everything is paired with a chutney.

Gobi Kasuri Methi - Cauliflower Curry With Dry Fenugreek Leaves

There have been a lot of celebrations going on lately on the blog, first with the pineapple halwa for Diwali and then mutton korma for Eid and while I celebrate my birthday today, there was no room for more sweets or meat.  All I wanted to settle with was simple homemade food.

At the end of Hajj (annual pilgrimage to Mecca) Muslims all over the world celebrate Eid al Adha.

Pineapple Halwa - Celebrating Diwali

Diwali means different things to different people all over India. People worship different Hindu Gods, have different customs to observe the religious importance of the day. Famously known as festival of lights, for me it is exactly that.
