I love having different types of soups for dinner. Many times we have some soup teamed up with sandwiches or a pizza or a burger for dinner- a welcome change from our regular Daal-Chawal . I am tempted to buy Fresh green spinach leaves (Palak) and fresh orange-red carrots every time I visit the market. This time I cooked the two together to make this scrumptious Spinach- Carrot soup- a treat for all the Popeye’s in the world We also had some very soft and fresh dinner rolls from our local bakery. I stuffed them with some potato-beetroot-mushroom filling (usually…

Watermelon Papaya Salad
I was bragging so much about the wet rainy weather here and how it makes me crave for PakodasJ The Monsoon seems to have taken offence to this and has suddenly disappeared. It’s almost as if summer is back here and 99 out of 100 people are suffering from Flu, including my little one L To pep our mood from the gloomy weather I made this Watermelon-PapayaSalad. Watermelons are not in season but thanks again to Reliance Fresh we get most of the things anytime of the year now. A simple Watermelon-PapayaSalad with Ginger-honey-lemon dressing goes straight to Boise, to…
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
Ambadichi Bhaji (Sour greens curry)
Ambadi greens (Gongura/Sour greens) are widely used in various preparations in many parts of India. What makes this quintessential Maharashtrian recipe so unique, is the use of Jowar ‘Kani’( broken Jowar grains or use Jowar Dalia).The tart leaves are cooked together with the broken Jowar, some Toovar/Arhar Dal, peanuts and then tempered with lots of garlic, to make this comforting Ambadichi bhaji. This bhaji can be served as a light meal on its own or you can serve this with Bhakri or Roti.
Weekend Chaating-From Chaat Street
[rockyou id=63368031&w=426&h=320] Chaat- just the mere mention of the word makes my mouth water. You can’t walk past a ‘Chaatwala’ without sensitizing your taste buds. The last thing on your mind when you enjoy Chaat on the roadside is Hygiene or Health food-That you remember the next day! I have been a ‘Chaat’ person as long as I can remember. When I was small I would argue with my Mom as to why we can’t offer ‘Prasad’(offering to God) of Pani Puri/Bhel Puri to God? Didn’t Gods love it too? J As I said in my last posts it getting…
