As I mentioned before that I am a mentor at one of the most live and happening group on Facebook, founded by Inaaya Anjali Irfan Shaikh . It entails different aspects of life and is always bubbling with enthusiasm and creativity. I always find something inspiring on the group, be it fitness, music, parenting, gardening, jokes, of course food and good friendships. I am amazed how this gorgeous lady has worked hard and build this community, bringing people, cultures, regions and boundaries together. The forum is called Chai pe milte hain (let’s meet over a cup of chai). Check out the group here.

Coming back to the recipe, as a mentor on the group, I offered to pick 2 recipes from the navratri collection from the forum. I dived to pick 2 and came back with 3 instead. Yesterday I blogged Sabudana Kheer by Aayushi and today I published Rajgira ke Wade by Monal and now I am in the home stretch of my 3 recipe blogathon, with last but not the least gorgeous post, recipe courtesy- Vishal Amin. I promise that you would want to be a regular visitor at Chai Lounge, after these posts.

Vishal Amin – Recipe Contributor

Vishal Amin, resident of Ahmedabad, Gujarat is no ordinary man. He is a passionate soul, be it his business, travel or cooking. When people compliment him saying, ‘You make money’ he replies,’I make time’. He is an alchemist with food, who turns everything into gold. A dreamer and sure knows how to pursue them. Good Food, Techno Music, Riding his Motorcycle & See the Beautiful World are the things that he lives for. Vishal loves to use different ingredients in an unusual way, innovating recipes and he says that he does not like to play with the original flavors of the dish. He looks forward to be a called as A-Home Chef one day. IMHO, he is already an accomplished home chef and if he sets his entreprenuering magic to it, he soon can be a known chef. I have to admit one thing here that Vishal and I share another thing common between us, besides food is, the love and magic of our iPhones. We both love clicking pictures with our super duper iPhones and turning them into nothing less than a magic. His travel pictures are so real and beautiful, it is just beyond words.

I did not tweak Vishal’s recipe at all, besides using buck wheat flour instead of water chestnut flour, since I did not have it. The only change I made is that I have halved the measurements. Do try this recipe to see what this holds for your taste buds. As Vishal mentioned, it is good carbs loaded and can otherwise be used by the people who are looking to gain weight. Yes there are people who struggle with lesser weight too.

Similarly, the dough can not be kept for later.
