Meal plates are the ideas that we bring to you to time and again since there are innumerable combinations of recipes that can happen and we handpick those popular and favourite ones which make it a best pairing for main course. Bihari cuisine is known for its delicious recipes with use of panch phoron masala and whole spices that are featured in many side dishes that make everyday meals.
This time, we have brought to you the lotus seeds and peas sabzi, cooked in Bihari Style and a popular Kadhi bari, which is again from the Bihari cuisine that is made with yogurt as base, to pair with the main meal of paratha and rice. We have simple Indian vegetable salad to complete the meal plate.
1.Bihari Makhana Aur Matar Sabzi Recipe
Snow white makhana and green and fresh peas come together to create this flavourful dish. Spices like garam masala powder, red chilli powder, pounded cloves, coriander powder and a bit of kalonji give a nice taste to the recipe. This is a dry sabzi recipe and goes along well with phulkas or tawa parathas.

2. Kadhi Bari Recipe
Kadhi Bari Recipe is popular dish from the state of Bihar. Kadhi is a yogurt based stew made with mixing yogurt and gram flour and tempered with few aromatic spices. Bari's are the pakoda's or fritters added into this Kadhi while boiling. The bari's are traditionally fried, however we have made a healthier version by preparing it in a paniyaram pan, which soaks less oil.
