Shahi Desi - Restaurant Style by Lalita

May 29, 2009
 

I love to entertain and since I migrated to this country, weekends are spent in meeting friends and family. What better way to show off your cooking skills than to churn out restaurant style favorite recipes at your next gathering.

I grew up surrounded by impeccable cooks, most of my extended family are into the restaurant and hospitality business. I picked up tips and tricks on the way and learnt to experiment based on what I eat at my favourite restaurants. What turned out is more delicious than some of the fares served at some of the North American desi restaurants and definitely healthier since you can control the portions and ingredients that go into the recipes.

Try some of these recipes and have a blast.
