Cheese Garlic Papad

: A Crispy and Delicious Twist on Papad

Seyun patata is one of the traditional Sindhi recipes that tends to be a breakfast dish, combining two contrasting elements: one sweet – roasted vermicelli (seyun) – and one spiced – fried potatoes (patata). It is widely prepared in Sindhi households for everyday breakfasts as well as for festive and ceremonial occasions, and is especially popular for its lightness and for taking little time to prepare. The vermicelli is typically roasted in ghee and cooked with spices in milk, while the potatoes are deep-fried and seasoned separately. There is a custom associated with this dish: on the day after a couple’s wedding, the bride’s parents send a lavish meal to the bridegroom’s house. Among the various breakfast items, which tend to feature lovingly cooked aloo sabji recipes, there’s also this vermicelli dish. The Seyun Patata is sent in a decorative dish garnished with nuts and sent over. Sheer khurma shares a similar recipe to vermicelli. The dish also represents abundance and celebration, and its preparation is quite symbolic. What makes Seyun Patata distinctive is that, unlike many wet and dry dish combinations like misal pav or dahi vada, this is one of the few Sindhi recipes where the wet vermicelli is served separately with the ‘kurkure’ masaledar potatoes. They might be on the same plate, but they aren’t mixed together, making for a really unusual dish in terms of flavour, when you compare it with either mildly sweet breakfast dishes or the savoury ones Indians are used to.

Jamun butter is something you might not have heard of before, and if you are exploring jamun recipes, then you must try this one. It is a no-cook condiment that needs two fruits – jamun and mango – both of which peak in summer. If you like trying fusion recipes, and different varieties of butter like herb-based, onion-based, garlic-based and more, and don’t mind the sweetness, then try this recipe. It falls in the ‘swicy’ category, blending the sweetness of fruits with the spiciness from chillies and other spices. Jamun recipe ideas usually fall into the dessert and beverage category, but this one hovers around the condiment aisle, featuring contrasting ingredients like mango, chilli, and spices to soften jamun’s astringency while retaining its trademark sweet and tangy flavour. In this jamun butter recipe, that balance is achieved by blending jamun purée with mango, then adding browned butter towards the end until it has a creamy, glossy texture. Buy jamuns in bulk and make this spreadable butter. Refrigerate after use and consume within a month. Preferably, make it in small amounts because the fruit in it reduces its shelf life. Add more flavour to your usual toast, rotis, roasted bhuttas, or popcorn with this delicious sweet-and-spicy spread.

Khapli Wheat Baati carries the earthy comfort of traditional Rajasthani cooking while bringing in the goodness of an ancient grain. These baked dough rounds turn crisp outside and stay slightly dense inside, making them ideal with hot dal and melted ghee. The recipe uses Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta, prepared from heritage Khapli wheat known for its naturally rich fibre and protein content. Aashirvaad Chakki Khapli Atta is made using ancient emmer wheat that has been valued in Indian kitchens for generations. It contains 30% more protein than regular wheat and passes through 40+ quality checks for consistency. The flour also contains lower sugar content and higher dietary fibre, making it suitable for slow, hearty meals that keep you satisfied longer. This baked version works especially well during cooler evenings or festive family lunches when heavy fried dishes feel too much. The dough stays simple with ajwain, semolina, and ghee, allowing the nutty flavour of the flour to stand out naturally. Once baked, the baatis develop a deep golden shell that cracks beautifully when pressed with warm ghee before serving.
