Ganga -Gomti is the title of my blog because my cooking is the reflection of the cuisine of eastern Uttar-Pradesh.My mom's journey from Ballia to Lucknow is reflected in her cooking and Ballia is a small city situated on the banks of holy river Ganga while Lucknow is the capital city of U.P. situated on the banks of river Gomti.Now I live in Chicago which is on the banks of mighty Lake Michigan,still the influence of Ganga-Gomti cuisine is predominant in my cooking even today!

This is a very aromatic dish and while I was preparing it, my whole house was overwhelmed by a nice aroma. I learnt it from Sailusfood .
Try it and enjoy. It is a mouthwatering appetizer or sampler for drinks.

Heat 2 tsp. of oil in a pan and add cumin seeds, coriander
seeds, cardamom, cloves, cinnamon, red chillis and cashew and stir
for a minute till a nice aroma emanates the whole kitchen. Be careful
not to burn the spices. Cool.
First grind the roasted
