Bringing the Irani cafe home
Why not bake it at home? Just whisk up the ingredients and use the baking tin for cooking the buns. You can always use a cooling rack to get it ready to serve on time. Placing all the buns on a bread basket and serving it with a dish of yummy butter can get everyone on the table drooling.

Creating the perfect aloo paratha
Aloo paratha is one dish that gets every Mumbaikar licking their lips. Preparing these tasty parathas is now made easy. The potato press does a better job of creating a creamy mash than your spoon or spatula. And the mortar and pestle are just the things to give your parathas their flavour. Now you can grind your own spices to get that perfect taste. Using a rolling pin, you can flesh out your parathas into the ideal round shape before you put them on the tava.
Although we can’t guarantee that the taste of the dal you’re making will turn out as good as moms, we can tell you that making it becomes so much easier. The handy colander helps you strain the dal after cooking, and the whisker comes handy to mash it all up. A tadka of ghee and spices is the final thing your dal needs to taste delicious. This small pan comes handy to cook that tadka on your stove.
Bombay sandwich at home
What can reflect the spirit of Mumbai better than the Bombay sandwich? The city is a part of its name. The yummy snack is made with a mixture of potatoes, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and chutney sandwiched between two bread slices. If you’re planning to prepare this dish at home, it’s good to have a reliable chopping board handy. Once you’ve assembled the filling and added in the cheese and chutney, it’s time to grill the Bombay sandwich to get that trademark taste. Don’t forget a dollop of butter to enhance the flavour.
