About Coffee Milkshake When it comes to the hot and sticky Indian summers, there are plenty of cold treats that we turn to in order to cool off: Falooda, Watermelon Juice, Mango Shake, Lassi, and Banana Shakes are among my favorites. But what all these tasty treats are missing is the sweet, sweet buzz of eye-opening caffeine. While I’m generally more of a Tea drinker, there are times when only coffee will do the trick....

Chai is nostalgic as during my college days as well as office days, I would go out during the breaks to have some chai with snacks. Earlier with my college friends and then later with office colleagues, we used to visit the chai stall (also called as Tapri) and have chai with some biscuits or khari biscuits. Sometimes we would have vada pav or bhajiya pav with chai. I also used to visit Irani restaurants (the Irani cafe near Andheri station which has closed now and one in fort) and have chai there with bun maska....

About Fettuccine Alfredo First, a bit of back story: It’s interesting to know that Fettuccine Alfredo was originally invented by Alfredo Di Lelio in his mother’s restaurant in Italy in the mid-1900s. The original recipe was very simple and only included butter and cheese, and it wasn’t until much later than cream was added. Nowadays you can find this classic dish on nearly every Italian menu and in every pasta cookbook....

More on French Fries Recipe I have had multiple recipe requests for homemade French Fries recipe. We love french fries in this house, so I was happy to oblige! I got myself into the kitchen and started doing test runs in the quest for the perfect homemade french fry. When I used to make french fries at home, I just chopped the potatoes, rubbed them with some salt and directly fried them....

These refreshing, fruity margaritas have been my drink of choice lately. I highly recommend them. A word of warning, though—do not overfill your blender with melon. I learned that the hard way today. Honeydew melon went everywhere! Honeydew on the window. Honeydew on the rug. Honeydew on my camera. Honeydew on the walls. Honeydew on the dog. Honeydew in my hair. Does anyone know how to clean honeydew juice off velvet curtains?...

Making your own tortilla chips might seem a little intimating, but I promise – it’s easier than it looks. Salty, crunchy, deep fried chips the kids and the adults will love. Especially when paired with classic Authentic Mexican Salsa or our creamy Guacamole. TORTILLA CHIPS While other tortilla chip recipes use an oven-bake method, our recipe was created with convenience and flavour in mind. This recipe is great when you need something salty, crunchy and FAST....

About Goda Masala Goda masala is a special spice blend unique to Maharashtrian cuisine. The spices used here are aromatic, and lend a subtle sweet aroma without hints of pungency or heat. I usually make a small batch at a time (about 100 grams) and then add to my everyday cooking. Goda or god (pronounced “goad-AH”) means “sweet” in marathi. As such, this is sometimes referred to as sweet masala. However, it should be noted that goda masala is sweet in aroma, not in taste....

About Green Chilli Pickle You won’t believe how easy it is to make these delicious green chilli pickle! I tend to use an Indian variety of chillies that are medium-hot but feel free to use mild or hot chilies to suit your preference. Bear in mind that once the chilies have been pickled they do lose some heat. This Hari Mirch ka Achar is always enjoyed so much by my family....

Ok. I think this is the mother of all grilled cheese recipes I have on Cafe Delites. Pizza grilled cheese. Pizza Panini. Whatever you want to call this…it’s made with pizza bases instead of bread and it’s one of the best things you will probably ever put in your mouth. Smothered in tomato pizza paste AND red capsicum (or red pepper paste) for an added incredible flavour…it’s like eating a pizza inside out....

Raise your hands if you’re excited about fall! I’m looking forward to pumpkin treats, cooler weather and dusting off my favorite boots. The leaves on the trees outside look tired, so I think we’re in for a show soon. I’m satisfying my pumpkin cravings with my favorite pumpkin bread while we wait for those magnificent red and orange trees. This recipe is a simplified and perfected version of my old honey-sweetened pumpkin bread....

We caught our first cool fall breeze this week. Do you know what that means? It’s pumpkin muffin time. I snapped some new photos of my favorite pumpkin muffin recipe as I satisfied my pumpkin craving. These pumpkin muffins are perfect for chilly fall mornings and afternoon snacks. They’re healthier than most, since they’re made with whole wheat flour and oats, sweetened with real maple syrup or honey, and call for coconut oil or olive oil instead of butter....

I’m never going back to store-bought salsa verde! This salsa verde is fresh, bright, and not too salty like those store-bought versions. Sometimes I have to remind myself that simple is best. This salsa was originally a component in a seven-layer dip concept, but the salsa blew the dip out of the water. One part, on its own, was so much better than the other six combined. This salsa verde is so fresh and irresistible....

Updated Sep 19, 2023 Homemade almond butter (or any nut butter for that matter) is a staple do-it-yourself recipe. Just like homemade nut milks. But I still remember the first time I made almond butter in a food processor and thinking, “sheesh, this is taking a really long time.” 20-minutes to be exact. Because everything I’d found on the internet said that the best way to make almond butter was in a food processor....

Ground coriander, or coriander powder, is a must-have in my kitchen! I use it extensively in a variety of dishes across cuisines. I highly recommend using homemade ground spices since they taste fresher, are of superior quality, and elevate the taste of any dish you make. And just like my homemade cumin powder, this coriander powder also takes just 5-10 minutes to make. Let’s take a look at this citrusy seed and its ground form....

It’s ready in under ten minutes, and I promise, it’s so tasty you won’t want to go back to the store-bought kind again....
