Romesco sauce is an unforgettable sauce. It’s bold, zippy and full of roasted tomato and pepper flavor. You know how much I love sauces, and romesco is a great one. Romesco originated in a city called Tarragona in Catalonia, the northeastern-most region of Spain that touches France. Tarragona is a port city, and the fishermen there made romesco sauce to liven up the day’s catches. I enjoy romesco sauce on roasted and grilled vegetables, and much more....
Olive lovers, tapenade is for you! Tapenade is an olive spread or dip hailing from the Provence region in France. It’s bold, zippy, briny and salty, though we’ll be sure to keep the salt level in check. Served with crostini or crackers, tapenade is a wonderful appetizer with drinks. It offers some welcome contrast when served with creamy dips, like hummus or spinach artichoke dip. You can also spread it onto sandwiches, dollop it onto salads, and more....

Adapted from my Eggless Pancakes Recipe, these waffles are both quick and easy to make. Best of all, this eggless waffle recipe is very easy to customize. To make sweet waffles, you can always add more sugar....
About Avocado Salad Recipe Friends, I have a feeling you’re going to fall head over heels for this delicious Avocado Salad recipe. First, let’s talk taste. The subtly sweet, smooth, and creamy flavor of the avocado gives a sharp contrast to the crisp spiciness of the onions, the juicy acidity of the tomatoes, and the tart lemon dressing. The herbs and spices give a warm, earthy flavor that’s reminiscent of Guacamole....
Pan seared Garlic Mushrooms are a staple side in any restaurant, bistro, pub or steakhouse, and a huge favourite in homes all over the world. BUT, over the years I have made a few changes and added a couple of extra ingredients to regular garlic mushrooms to get the BEST flavour! You will love this easy and delicious 10-minute side dish that pairs with anything! Low carb and Keto approved!...
What is Gobi Manchurian In Hindi ‘Gobi’ means Cauliflower. ‘Manchurian’ refers to the Manchurian sauce which is made with sautéed spring onions (scallions), capsicum (bell pepper), green chillies, ginger and garlic in a mix of soy sauce, tomato ketchup and chilli sauce. In simple words, the classic Gobi Manchurian is made with batter coated, fried, crispy cauliflower florets tossed in this spicy, sweet, hot and umami manchurian sauce. The addition of tomato ketchup gives the manchurian sauce sweet notes and makes it different from the chilli sauce which we make for Chilli Gobi or Chilli Paneer....
I thought I had this zucchini muffin recipe in the bag. Make my favorite zucchini bread batter, divide into muffin cups, bake for less time—nope. The increased surface area produced slightly dense and dry muffins, which were fine for “healthy” muffins. However, I wanted fluffy, moist and thoroughly delightful muffins that just-so-happened to be healthier. So, I cross-referenced the zucchini bread recipe with my all-time favorite blueberry muffins in my cookbook....
I’m writing this post from a couch in my light-filled second floor apartment, which overlooks green trees covered in fledgling leaves and the rooftops of cozy college homes in Norman, Oklahoma. I live here with a silly black-and-white spotted dog named Cookie. Cookie is an ornery little dog who wouldn’t get away with everything if it weren’t for her floppy, mismatched ears, big brown eyes and funny raccoon-striped tail, which is going thump-thump-thump against the cushions....
Use these tried and tested tips to soften a whole block or paneer cubes and use them in your favorite paneer recipes. Paneer has been a staple in my home for as long as I can remember. It is slightly sweet and creamy and makes a wonderful high-protein dish when I want to keep the meal vegetarian. That being said, to keep the integrity of the paneer’s milky-soft texture, it must be softened prior to cooking unless it is freshly made....
About Manga Achar I really love this pickle as it can be made real quick, without any hassle. Here’s an interesting breakdown of the know-how of the Nurukku Manga Achar or the Kerala Style Instant Mango Pickle: Name: In Malayalam language, ‘Nurukku‘ is chopped small or cut pieces ‘Manga‘ is a mango ‘Achar‘ is a pickle Name: In Malayalam language,‘Kadugu’ means mustard seeds ‘Manga‘ is a mango ‘Achar‘ is a pickle Ingredients: This Instant Mango Pickle uses unripe mangoes, mustard seeds, curry leaves and some spices in its preparation....
Basically in this version, the chopped and cooked vegetables are kept intact and chunky. The veggies are not mashed. That’s it. The recipe for making khada pav bhaji, is same as the regular one. I have had khada pav bhaji umpteen times in Mumbai along with Paneer Pav Bhaji. Since it is a favorite dish, I do make it often. This time I decided to make khada pav bhaji, instead of mashed version....
About Lauki ka Halwa There are a few halwa variants made with vegetables in North Indian cuisine. I make halwa with three veggies – carrots, beetroot and bottle gourd on occasions. But to tell you a fact, I have also learned to make potato halwa in my cooking school decades back. Most of the halwa made from vegetables need them to be grated first and then slow cooked in milk. This recipe of Lauki halwa also follows the same technique of cooking where grated bottle gourd is initially sauteed in ghee and then simmered in milk till you get a thick consistency....
Lauki is a cooling veggie to have during the summers. You can make various dishes with lauki from savory to sweet. I had some lauki left after making sambhar recipe, so thought of making kheer with it. To make lauki kheer, I use the same method through which I make carrot kheer. I have not yet posted the carrot kheer recipe. The recipe is very simple and even a beginner in cooking can make this kheer....
The easiest part about this recipe is not having to worry about making your own dough and have Mini Caprese Deep Dish Pizzas ready to eat in less time than it takes to order a pizza. The best part is the deep dish part, meaning generous amounts of filling in (not to be confused with ‘on’) pizza dough, almost like a pizza pie! Mini Pizzas These could very well be passed off as a Margherita flavoured pizza, BUT, drizzled with a balsamic glaze (homemade or store bought), the Caprese flavours aren’t lacking at all....
With a beautifully sweetened Cream Cheese Glaze! We not only drizzled them with it…we dunked them in. Isn’t that normal anyway? Gee. That sounded like an informercial. Here’s the reality kick. Scones. Okay. I have a love/hate relationship with scones, because usually they’re so dry and chalky and can cause severe ‘dust storm,’ choking mid Oesophagus. But! When I make them, I make sure they’re nice and moist inside, while still keeping the ‘scone’ flavour and texture....
Since first publishing these cocktail meatballs in 2016, readers all over the world have been writing in to tell us how much they love this cocktail meatball recipe! MONGOLIAN MEATBALLS Well, I couldn’t leave you without a fire cracker of an appetiser, AND these Mongolian Glazed Meatballs are everything! This is my second last post for 2016, and it can’t get any better than THIS! When I first shared our recipe for Mongolian Beef And Broccoli, so many of you guys wrote in to tell me all about how much you loved the flavours of the sauce; so this recipe happening was a no brainer....
Story goes….I was minding my own business baking some cookies. Turning your favourite Chocolate Chip Cookie Sticks into…well…normal looking cookies. I noticed the Nutella staring down at me…giving me this look of abandonment. Now…I had it in my head and on good authority to make you guys a cheesecake. But…running after 3 sick kids last week meant no ‘me’ time. Which also meant no cheesecake time. So, I had to improvise....
The taste of the noodle soup is faintly sour with an umami flavor. The recipe of this Indo Chinese style soup is simple and easy to make. For a light dinner, you can just have this soup without any accompaniment. You can even serve it as a starter before a south asian meal. In this veg noodle soup you can add various types of mix veggies like – mushrooms, broccoli, bok choy, green beans, snap beans, carrots, cabbage, zucchini, peas, corn, baby corn....
Buttery and gooey on the inside, crispy and golden on the outside! This Nutella Stuffed Deep Dish Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie had all of us weak at the knees begging for more, desperately scraping each and every crumb directly out of the pan like we’d been starving for weeks! Nutella Stuffed Skillet Cookie I accidentally on purpose made this THREE TIMES while testing, and then 50 million times since then....
Um. So I did it again. The gooey-est deep dish cookie that exists on my blog. And there are a few. Why? Because it’s a way to get a cookie fix..without scooping cookies into small balls and squishing them down with a fork. This is just throw in a skillet. Done. Plus, the added gooey bonus it…well, a bonus! Combining two recipes together to make this, this one sits right up there on top of my list of favourites....
