Sannas
This typically coastal Indian food is eaten with curries, stir-fries and even on its own. There's nothing like warm, soft and fluffy Sannas to go with a Pork Vindaloo or Sorpatel!

Yakhni Pulao
This tasty rice dish is a classic at North Indian meals. It gets its name from the Yakhni (meat stock) - pronounced as Akhni - it is cooked in. I like to serve Yakhni Pulao with just a simple vegetable raita but you can go all out and add a curry dish too.
