Pasta in Makhani Sauce

 Pasta in makhani sauce is a very innovative recipe that uses the common "makhani sauce" as the base. The results are quite promising with the smooth sauce and the balance of flavours. I have used penne here as it holds on to the sauce quite easily, you can use other types of pasta like spaghetti, fusilli, or Fettuccine. Inspired by Indian flavours, this recipe brings the perfect creaminess to the pasta and also it's vegan too, so what are you waiting for, try out this amazing recipe and share it with your friends and family.

Yellow Fish Curry

  This fish curry is my mother's recipe, and it is quite different from the normal mustard fish or "shorshe maach". The use of Bori (dried lentil dumplings) is traditional and it gives a wonderful texture to the curry. The flavour of mustard enhances with time as it cooks along with the fish. We have used Rohu, you can also use Hilsa or Katla for this recipe. It is recommended that the fish cuts from a bigger fish is used, the flavours would be more enhancing, my mother cooks this recipe quite often and every time she cooks, the flavour, the texture remains amazing.
