This Quinoa & Vegetable Biryani is a lighter, nutritious version of the traditional rice biryani. It replaces rice with fluffy quinoa for extra protein and quicker cooking while keeping all the spice, aroma, and colour of classic biryani. Great for meal prep, this dish packs balanced nutrition and bold Indian flavours in every bowl.

Black Gajar Halwa is a luxurious Indian dessert celebrated for its deep colour, rich aroma, and velvety texture. This halwa blends grated black carrots with ghee, milk, and sugar, then is enriched with mawa for added creaminess. A mix of nuts and silver varq adds a festive touch, making it perfect for winter evenings or special celebrations, offering both traditional flavour and visual appeal.

Winter = Parathas, and for Aashirvaad, that means getting creative. To kick off the Aashirvaad Paratha Challenge, Chef Neha Deepak Shah has created a fun and innovative 4-in-1 Paratha which packs four different fillings inside one single paratha—Gobi, Methi Paneer, Palak Corn, and Masala Mutter—each occupying one quadrant. It’s colourful, wholesome, and offers a unique bite in every corner. Ideal for breakfast, tiffin boxes, or quick weekday meals.
