Poori Bhaji is a very popular north Indian combo. South Indians would vote for Poori Masala. This is also a very yummy combo since both are potato based recipes. Potato is an all rounder veggie. I have been wanting to post this recipe here since a long time. This Aloo Poori Bhaji is Chotu`s favourite. He once tried in this in a restaurant and became a fan of it. It is simple to make. Try this combo next time u make pooris. Check HERE for Poori recipe.

Bread Bajji is an easy tea time snack that can be made in a jiffy. I mostly end up making this recipe when I have extra/leftover bread. With no fancy ingredients this can be made at anytime as it calls for some very basic ingredients that’s normally available in your pantry. If u are bored of eating the normal vegetable bajji’s (RECIPE HERE) try this bread bajji for a change. Am sure kids would grab this immediately!! Post updated with video..

Paneer Bhurji Gravy is the most easiest paneer recipe to make. Well if u want to know what “Bhurji” means, its nothing but “scrambled”. We are using scrambled/grated paneer or I would rather say fresh paneer (without being set) in this recipe. Hence the name Paneer Bhurji. Do try this Capsicum Paneer Sabji if u prefer the dry version. This Paneer Bhurji Gravy is more of a street style gravy. Tastes yumm with roti, naan or even toasted bread/pav. Check out the video..

Making pizza perfectly at home has always been a dream. Personally I dont prefer using yeast. This is a No Yeast Paneer Pizza with 2 options – with and without oven. Do check out the video below for all the details you need to know for both the options. I really love the Indianised version of Pizza with the addition of Paneer. We miss that here. So finally made it YAY! Trust me this is a No fail recipe. I tried both ways – baking it in the oven and cooking it on the tawa. Both came out well. Pizza Sauce recipe HERE.

Cabbage Vada is a simple yet tasty tea time snack. Stays crispy even after it cools down. All u need to plan ahead is the soaking time of chana dal. Other than that this can be made in less than 30 mins. This is similar to Masal Vadai. It is much crispier than Masal Vadai due to the addition of cabbage. Perfect for fussy kids who refuse to eat cabbage as is as a vegetable. Do check out the video, I sould say VIDEO WITH A NEW LOOK & with DESCRIPTIONS IN TAMIL & HINDI 🙂  All your comments and feedback are welcome!

Pineapple Kesari has been on my to-do list since a long time. Made it finally. I actually admire the simplicity of this sweet, which always tops the list among “n” number of sweets. Not much ghee required, not time consuming, yet a super hit all the time. The addition of pineapple creates the magic here. Love the flavour and aroma of pineapple. I have a variety of kesari recipes here. Click HERE to see.. If you do not have food colour do not worry, I have made it with a pinch of turmeric powder which worked out well. Check out the quick video.

Egg Curry Recipe in My Magic Pan! Yes you read it right! We are still vegetarians, in fact we have always been eating eggs. If u have been following my baking recipes, I would have included eggs. It is just that, it did not strike me to add an exclusive recipe with egg here. So here u go with my version of Egg Curry. It is a simple & straight forward recipe, not much fancy ingredients. Most of the times we prefer this gravy or curry kind of boiled egg recipe. I do make a few more which I shall share soon. This Egg Masala Curry goes well with Biryani, Phulkas or rice.

Hope you all are keeping well. What to cook has become a brain rattling question everyday, especially lunch menus. The moment my family members are up in the morning, the first question would be what’s for lunch? One such day, when I had nothing in mind, made this humble Thengai Thogayal for rice and paired it with some Vadai. Truly divine. Its an easy meal to cook & not the usual menu to satisfy the family 🙂  And if u ask me why this Coconut Thuvayal, I had nothing else handy to grind. HAHA

Well ther...
