Dahi ke baingan | Eggplant in yogurt based curry Recipe | Beginner

9/3/2019

0 Comments

 
It's been ages since I've posted any recipe on my blog. Not because I stopped trying new recipes, (that's partly true since i keep my cooking to basic and simple dishes nowadays) but because I need to get back to blogging after a big break. I do share my recipes and everyday cooking on my Instagram page. I've decided to post more this month, let's see how I fare at it.

Now today's recipe is a simple one and easy for beginners too. I had Baingan or big eggplant variety lying in my refrigerator for a week. Everytime I was postponing to cook with it. I wanted to try something totally new. I saw this recipe on Youtube and compared many recipes to finalise my dish and it came out pretty well. It's a yogurt based curry but also spicy, based on how spicy you want to make it. It is a great option when you run out of onion and tomato at home. I added a potato to make it appealing for my husband, you can also try that to make kids eat it. It goes well with Roti, chapati, pulao and even rice too. I did not click any good pics before we finished it off today. So here is a short snippet from my instagram story of the dish. Lets move on the actual recipe.

Exploring world cuisines - Irish eggless soda bread, quick & no yeast or fermentation

3/28/2017

0 Comments

 
One day in this month (March), I suddenly felt like exploring world cuisines at home. I don't quite know how I got the thought, but i wanted to randomly pick a world cuisine, read all i can about it, pick some famous dishes, and try out the recipes for you guys right from my kitchen. The idea was awesome and I was so excited! I picked Irish cuisine randomly to start with... I read a lot about their way of cooking, eating and ingredients. 

As soon as I say Irish, what are the things that come to your mind?
St. Patrick's day?
Irish coffee? Baileys? 
May be more... after researching a bit about Ireland, I came to know that its the birthplace of good music. Heard about Trinity college which certifies Music learners, thats in Ireland. Even folk music is famous, their landscapes, not to mention their beer & whiskey, etc. Their cuisine uses a lot of potato in their dishes after 16th century. It was the cheapest vegetable they could get in times of war and draught. It's a simple, hearty, seasonal and comfort cuisine. So let's have a look at some of their famous dishes, so next time you go to Ireland or a restaurant, you could give these a try.

Quick and easy eggless Tiramisu - no bake cake for a romantic dinner date at home

8/27/2016

0 Comments

 
Tiramisu has been the most exquisite dessert for us, because of its rich coffee flavour and creamy texture. It was in my to-do list for a very long time, and I was so lazy to make it from scratch. In India it is difficult to get the ready made savoiardi or sponge finger biscuits. And mascarpone cheese availability is also an expensive and rare ingredient here. But you can make them at home if you have some patience. I was lucky that I had been to Europe last year and got a chance to get these biscuits to India. Since then I was planning to make this recipe for a special day, we are cutting calories otherwise you see :)

Tiramisu is a famous coffee-flavoured Italian dessert. It is generally made by dipping the ladyfinger biscuits in freshly brewed coffee, and layering it with a whipped custard mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, flavoured with cocoa. The original recipe might be a bit tedious with beating egg yolks and we generally do not like to eat raw eggs in our cakes/desserts. So I wanted to go eggless and keep things simple and quick. Like me, you can choose to buy readymade ladyfinger biscuits (now its available online) from Nature's basket or Amazon. Or you can make do with vanilla sponge cake slices - bake them for 10 mins until they are crisp.

How to make Methi thepla / Methina thepla (Fenugreek leaves flat bread)

2/10/2016

0 Comments

 
Some dishes tend to stay in your mind even if you have not had it often. May be you haven't even heard of them and suddenly you become a fan of it. Yes, thepla is one of the dishes which stays as a sweet memory bringing back my days in US. We used to buy Frozen theplas, reheat them and have everyday with some hot masala tea/ chai in the morning.
We started the WTC (What to cook) group and again I was reminded to try making theplas at home. This is a group where we inspire each other to cook everyday and help out with deciding the menu. Recipe shares too is obvious.
Thepla is a flat bread or paratha types, originally from Gujarati cuisine. This Methina or Methi theplas made out of fresh fenugreek leaves. You must make it or taste it to understand why I crave for these flavoursome rotis. You actually don't need any side dish to have it. It is a wholesome food by itself and nutritious too.

Simple flavourful Jeera rice Recipe - Karnataka special

1/3/2016

0 Comments

 
If you had been to a local restaurant or food joint in Katanataka, you would have definitely not missed to see or taste this wonderful rice item on the menu. Initially I too thought what's Jeera rice?? Is cumin a major ingredient? I don't like their taste.. Reminds me especially of the super beneficial jeera water my mom gives me during childhood times. But I got acquainted to this item and it's really flavorful. If you like variety rices for your lunch, you must add this to your menu.

Quick Mushroom/Aalu mutter gravy - Simple North Indian Side dish

1/3/2016

0 Comments

 
We love splurging ourselves into rich gravies for any rice or rotis.. But when it comes to making them at home, we run out of ideas or feel lazy to make them.
This is quite a simple recipe, without much back breaking work. And it's in fact healthy too since we are not adding cream. You can add any vegetable or paneer, since this is a basic gravy base recipe. I made this gravy for as an accompaniment with jeera rice, and it turned out well. It even tasted great with dosas too, no doubt with rotis. Let's get to it then...

I know it's been long since I posted a recipe on my site. But I did try a lot of recipes meanwhile and i hope I bombarded you with loads of pictures of mouthwatering food in Instagram and facebook :P I hope there will be a software in future soon, which does the writing for you when you cook... that would be my one last wish :)

Now to my favorite recipe of Cream of Pumpkin soup, this is a sure hit among my guests, kids and sandy. It's the best comfort food for this winter and quite easy to make once you know the trick. I have tried this recipe with and without white sauce as detailed below. Depends on how much time you have to make this and if you are worried about the calories :) So hold on and try any of these versions. But if you are making it for the kids, do try with white sauce. They love it!!
This is a basic cream soup recipe which you can modify for any vegetable.

Freshly made Veg pizza

10/5/2014

0 Comments

 
After having these pizzas at home, I don't crave for the cheese burst Domino or Pizza Hut pizzas. After we started working out, we are very conscious in choosing what we eat. We started avoiding too much of fried foodsoutside, my hubby's favorite manchurians too. We look for grilled, pan fried options and salads.



Ok, back to the pizza... I did not try my hands on making the pizza base at home. I'm sure it would take a long time. I just use store bought pizza base - tried both white and wheat base. And this takes only 10 mins.
