Colors of Taste - Powders: Flavored Rice - Roundup
And so after a extremely hectic month ...here is the roundup for the 2 part event - Flavored Rice - Indian and International varieties. Looks like this time everyone were very busy to try new dishes, so while I received multiple entries for the Indian section... the numbers for the International varieties have gone down... but this month I am also not complaining as I too have been very busy. I will be taking a break from blogging ...other than hosting the COT event for at least 2 months. I have a new addition to my family now. Maya is my first little one and she is taking most of my time; and as you can see the roundup got delayed by a couple of days. So without further delay here are the entries for the month of April.

Saturday Special: Recipe Video Of the Week : Barvan Dum Aloo - Sanjay Thumma
I realized that lot of the times when I search for recipes in blogs to try out,I invariable end up checking recipe videos. There are so many talented cook/chefs who offer their recipe secrets via videos out there that you just want to try each and every recipe they offer. There are times when sometimes it is just a pleasure watching them, even though you might never cook the recipes, sometimes I feel that when I watch the Food network chefs...I am not sure what they are cooking or how it will taste, but boy, they sure look good, and make you feel good...Sometimes these videos/shows mesmerize you with their presentation skills, spread of dishes, table scape, the gadgets, or just their passion for cooking....So I have decided that every week I will post one inspiring video recipe that not only looks and feels good but actually tastes good too....one that I have tried, tested and would love to share. And when you go through one recipe I am sure you will stumble upon many more delicious recipes of that person..because if you are like me you just can't watch one video and not click next! Many a times I would have landed on a video to make one recipe but end up making another recipe just because I was curious what else that person made....
So one such chef, who I look up often to check out various recipes is the ever popular, thoroughly humorous and extremely talented Vahrehvah Chef Sanjay Thumma. There isn't one favorite recipe I have of his. His explanations are simple and the recipes look all too simple to make, but they end up tasting great.. So here is one of his recipe video that you might want to try if you have not already -

Colors of Taste - Powders: Flavored Rice
So now that we are in a groove I thought we can jazz up the event a little bit ... so here's how it goes for the month of April - we will be spitting the event into two 15 days fast track events with a gap of one week in between.
So you guys get to submit a flavored rice recipe for the first fifteen days with emphasis on the spices and masala that went into making it a wonderfully
delicious, aromatic dish - can be a simple tamarind rice or an exotic Biryani ... then you get to take a break and whip up a recipe you have been thinking of making but have always held back , or maybe you make regularly that everyone at home just loves.... which as long as it comes from shores far away and emphasizes that special blend of spices other than just salt and pepper, you are good to go... maybe Thai, or Moroccan or Lebanese...well you have the world to choose from... :)
So ladies and gents ... get started ... I am so looking forward to all the recipes that I hope flood in :), and I hope you won't limit yourself to just one kind of recipe but would explore and submit for both parts of the event; which I think is the spirit with which we all participate in these events!!
Only recipes that are sent within the time frame of the sub theme will be accepted for that part of the event. Roundups will be at the month end for the theme "Flavored Rice".
The first 15 days we will keep with the theme but limit your options to only recipes from India and the next 15 days we will still stick to our theme but with with an International twist. Only recipes that are not from India will be accepted for this part.
The theme for this month's event is .....
Flavored Rice

Colors of Taste - Powders: Podi's as an Accompaniment - RoundUp
Drum roll Please!!! here are the entries for the march. This month's theme bought out a flurry of responses as much loved spices and blends made their way over to the event. What bought the most smiles was that almost all were nostalgic representations of what tasted best when mom made them...recipes that were handed down from mother to daughter that have now become an integral part of the next generation...
It is with pleasure I present the roundup for the month of march.
