I have been resisting the temptation to make these Pakodas for a long time now. Monsoon brings with it cravings for hot,spicy,fried food. I am not a great fan of fried foods, but during the rainy season it is difficult for me too,to resist the temptation of these delicious minty Paneer Pudina Pakodas- PPP J (Cottage cheese-Mint fritters). This Friday for the Monsoon Magic seriesI have a recipe for spicy Paneer Pudina Pakoda. This is one of the recipes I would list under my ‘Culinary Accidents’. This accident sure was rewarding. See if you like it.

Friday Monsoon Magic -Dabeli
Incessant rains and frequent power cuts have kept me off blogging for the past week. Getting to work and back seemed like a big ordeal when rain Gods decided to visit us for 3-4 days continuously. The only positive aspect was the lovely rainy weather (which makes you creep under a blanket with a book in hand, music and some thing to nibble) encouraged me to try some spicy hot recipes. Today, for my Friday -Monsoon Magicseries I have a recipe for Kutchi Dabeli or Double Roti. As the name suggests this recipe finds its origin in the Kutch region…
Friday Monsoon Magic-Corn Chat
Rains and Corn (especially ‘Bhutta’-Corn on the Cob) go hand in hand. The fresh smell of the mud when it rains urges you to eat something steaming hot with a hot cup of Chai (tea). Steaming Corn Chat is another favourite ‘Corn-Monsoon’ recipe. Corn Chaat with a glass of garam garam (hot) chai _________________________________________________________Corn Chat recipe
Nutri-Sandwich
I love sandwiches for breakfast -They are very quick to make, you can sandwich almost anything between two slices of bread (sometimes even leftover curries), and very easy to carry. Usually I have my breakfast on my way to work so I usually end up making sandwiches for breakfast. This is a spicy but healthy Sandwich.I make it quite often especially,when I am in a hurry with the available veggies. I am sending my Nutri-Sandwich all the way to Newfoundland & Labradorfor Trupti’s WBB#12 –Spice it Up. Nutri-Sandwich for Trupti’s WBB#12 -Spice it Up
Pudina Tofu stir fry (Minty Tofu stir fry)
I happened to ‘accidentally’ discover this recipe. I happened to dip a piece of Tofu in green chutney (made for Bhel / Sev Puri) and it tasted quite good! And thus was born ‘Pudina Tofu stir fry’ :). Now it has become a common recipe in our house since it is quite easy to make. Proteinaceous tofu is marinated with herby Pudina-coriander chutney to make this nutritious, healthy, flavourful and tasty recipe. Another advantage from health point of view is that this recipe requires very little oil! It is called ‘Pudina Tofu stir fry’ for the sole reason that I…
