Brought over from China, the plant has been around for 800 years in Japan. Buddhist monks drank this earthy green tea to center themselves during meditation. Over time, it became part of traditional Japanese tea ceremony. Matcha is also an ingredient in Wagashi (和菓子, traditional Japanese sweets), baked goods, pancakes, and ice cream....

For those of you familiar with New York this is a copycat of the Halal Cart Style Chicken and Rice that is found at the corner of 53rd and 6th. Friends of mine introduced me to it on one of my NYC trips and can I just say that it was love at first bite? The very reasonable price tag (6 bucks) and sizeable portion also went a long way to making this a must have for my college-student-poor self....

REAL LEMONS: I use real lemons, and not just one part, the juice OR zest I use both....

Do you agree that anything fried and crispy can easily be transformed into a good, hearty sandwich? Take examples, Korokke, ebi katsu, chicken katsu, tonkatsu and ham katsu. All these deep-fried goodness are hard to beat when they are tucked into bread. So does menchi katsu – the crunchy panko-breaded, juicy meat cutlet that I’ve just shared last week. You could have it with steamed rice and a side of soup, or in a sandwich form like today’s recipe for a fuss-free preparation....

Ingredients needed 🧾 How to make it 🔪 Recipe 📖 It’s believed that misal pav recipe originated in Nashik some 100 years ago.

Since it was so good, the word spread, and everyone created their own versions. Many street food vendors around Bombay serve delicious misal pav, and I have been fortunate to try many of these places....
