Pithale, Bhakri & Peanut Chutney for Nupur's Tried & Tasted

Posts for MBP and Tried & Tasted kind of blog events are the easiest kinds to write. No worrying about the proportions, somebody else has already perfected that for you, no need to jot down the recipe, all you have to do is cook, click and eat!

Nupur's blog will always be extra special for me as she was my introduction to food blogging. I discovered her blog on googling vada pav, when I was homesick in Singapore and I could hardly believe what I found! What a treasure trove it was: Sukh Sagar's pav bhaji, Bombay sandwiches and lots popular vegetarian fare from regional Indian and International cuisines !

Even though Nupur's repertoire is extremely vast, with recipes ranging from easy to elaborate, I picked up one of her simplest recipes, as it is something I have been wanting to try for ages: Pithale.

Pithale is a bit like Kadhi without the yoghurt, with a very nice, earthy taste. I made jowar bhakris to go with it, and rounded off the meal with some onions, green chilli and readymade chilli garlic peanut chutney, for which Nupur has a great recipe too, if you want to make it at home.

Her recipe is meant to serve four, but I had it all by myself for lunch, so scrumptious it was.

I changed nothing, except skipping curry and coriander leaves, none of which were on hand. A truly delicious and satiating meal. Off this goes to Tried & Tasted hosted by Zlamushka. Thank you Nupur and Zlamushka!
