Paneer Bhurji Gravy – Paneer Recipes

June 9, 2020 Paneer Dishes  No comments

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..

June 5, 2020 Kids Bay, Pasta / Pizza Recipes  No comments

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 | Cabbage Vadai | Cabbage Dal Vada

June 2, 2020 Cabbage, Snacks / Starters  No comments

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!

May 28, 2020 Sweets/Desserts  One comment

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.

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

Gobi 65 is Chotu’s favourite. Anytime we go to a restaurant he would ask for this. Have tried making this at home many times but could not convince him. He loved the restaurant style ones.. Then I realised that he was attracted by the red colour and here is the recipe – WITHOUT any artificial colors though. He loved it!!  Am sure your kids would like this too… This Onion Pakoda is always a hit at home too.

Sweet Corn Gravy – Sweet Corn Curry

April 24, 2020 Dals/Gravies, Sweet Corn  No comments

While we are all still staying at home, am trying to make food more interesting with the limited ingredients available in the pantry or at the stores. This Sweet Corn Gravy is one such recipe. I have never tried a gravy with sweet corn. Well before that I am not a big fan of sweet corn so I seldom buy it. I had grabbed a bag of frozen sweet corn before the lockdown, just because frozen peas was not available. So now it justifies why I am here with this Sweet Corn Gravy recipe. It turned out really well, sweet corn in spicy gravy. We liked the sweet-spicy combo. Do try my Peas Masala or Methi Matar Malai recipes if you want to use Peas instead.
