About Paneer Cutlet This recipe of paneer cutlet is similar to the Veg Cutlet Recipe which was one of my earlier posts way back in 2009. The addition of paneer makes these cutlets have a soft texture and yet they are crisp from outside. These cutlets have some veggies added to them – carrots, green peas and potatoes. For a healthier option, you can even bake these paneer cutlet. I have pan-fried them....
I plan to add some quick and easy sweets for the upcoming festive season. The paneer kheer is one such recipe that can be made in a jiffy and will be done in less than 25 minutes. All you need is paneer and milk along with some nuts. While making any paneer based dish, I suggest using fresh homemade paneer. You can make the paneer a day ahead and refrigerate it....
About Paneer Makhanwala Recipe This recipe of Paneer Makhanwala is a variation of Paneer Butter Masala, Paneer Lababdar and Paneer Makhani – where the makhani gravy is the hero element in these dishes. Wondering what is a Makhani gravy? It is tangy and mildly sweet tasting gravy that features butter (or makhan in Hindi language), tomatoes (usually pureed), spices, cashew paste and cream. Some people say that paneer makhani and paneer makhanwala are the same dishes with different names and some say paneer makhani and paneer butter masala are the same....
With another one of my USE THE DRESSING AS A MARINADE type of deal, grilled chicken fillets sit on top of this loaded salad, filled with cucumber pieces, sweet and juicy grape tomatoes, red onion slices, and crumbled up feta cheese! Plus added avocados — because WHO doesn’t love avocados? Especially in this Pesto Grilled Chicken Avocado Salad! People, let me tell you about my week. Not only have I had paper work coming out of my ears and have had to count figures and numbers on my fingers more than I’d like to care to admit; throw in one panic attack (okay, so a few), along with moments I forget to BREATHE (because breathing is an oversight when you start a company, am I right?...
Whenever we go to restaurants, I always end up ordering pudina paratha. First I like the fresh minty flavor of pudina and as an accompaniment, it goes very with a dal tadka or a veg gravy. Usually I make simple pudina paratha at home for breakfast or lunch. Since they taste so good you can consider making them for special occasions or guests also. In this recipe post, I am sharing the restaurant-style version....
About Ragda Patties Recipe I am a big fan of Indian street food recipes, like Sev Puri, Bhel Puri and Pani Puri. However, Ragda Pattice is by far my favorite chaat. They are commonly enjoyed as snacks in Mumbai, but are so delicious, it’s well worth a bit of effort to make them from scratch at home. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside fried potato patties are set on a plate with homemade ragda – which is a savory curry made from dried peas and spices....

In addition to the coconut, another typical ingredient that I add in this Kerala special Red Coconut Chutney recipe are pearl onion or sambar onions....
Easy and quick recipe for Semiya Payasam. Semiya Payasam is a popular dessert for lunch made by south Indians for all festivals like Tamil new year and Onam. No south indian meal is complete without a sweet ending of Payasam. I am a Payasam girl. I love it all.

These are so simple…I didn’t want them on my blog. BUT! My son insisted they go up. Because they’re his favourite snack. Okay. So they’re my favourite snack passed down to him. That counts, right? It’s kind of a crime to post something with only two ingredients and possibly the quickest cooking time ever. But it’s so worth it! If you don’t want to use the store bought Nutella, try making the Refined Sugar-Free Nutella Spread and use it to spread all over everything!...
About Spring Roll Sheets Spring rolls are a favorite for many of us. So, why not make the Spring Roll Wrappers too at home and enjoy this popular snack, made from the scratch. The procedure that I have chosen to make these Spring Roll Sheets is by following the batter method. I referred to my cooking school notes for both the recipe of the wrappers as well as the spring rolls....
I didn’t know fruit salads could be so delicious. This fruit salad recipe features ripe summer peaches, strawberries, blueberries and basil. To take it to the next level, I added a dash of maple syrup, plus lemon juice and balsamic vinegar for contrast. This salad is a thousand times tastier than any fruit salad I encountered as a kid, and it’s practically exploding with vitamins and antioxidants. You won’t find any funny business here—no Jell-o, no Cool Whip, no canned ingredients, and no sad, mushy bananas....
Eep! I’m so excited about this recipe that I want to hit publish and share it with you right this minute. I know how much you enjoy spicy sweet potatoes, black beans and avocado together—you all have such good taste—and I’ve already been keeping this one under wraps for a few weeks now. I should probably tell you the story behind these tostadas. A few months ago, I went on a fun girls’ weekend trip to Nashville with a couple of friends....
Here is the video of Tamilnadu Style Vendakkai puli kuzhambu – Kulambu – Ladies Finger in tamarind curry This Vendakkai puli kuzhambu curry is for the love of tamarind. Every Tamilian house would have a version of this curry. Its really hard to qualify a recipe as authentic. To me, if the recipe was passed on from a grand mother, its as authentic as it can get. This curry paired with rice makes a very satisfying meal....
What is Tom Yum Soup Tum Yum Soup, alternatively known as Tom Yam is one of the most popular soups from the Thai food culture. It is absolutely yummy. I mean a dish has to be tasty if the name itself has the word ‘yum’ in it. Right? Well, jokes apart, here’s the literal meaning of the name of this dish: Tom – This Thai word means ‘a process of boiling’ Yum or Yam – This Thai word means ‘mixed’ So, quite obvious, when put together, the name explains why this dish is a soup....
A rich and rustic sauce filled with fall apart chunks of beef coats soft pillows of tortellini. There’s nothing like a bowl of warm pasta! Tortellini Rich with flavour, you would be forgiven for standing at the stove and eat it straight out of the pot. Adding tender pieces of beef through the sauce is a smart way to fill up on protein and-not-to-many-tortellinis. Meat Sauce The sauce gets simmered with the beef in such a way that when you’re ready to eat, the beef is so soft and tender and full of tomato sauce flavours that you kinda don’t want this to end....

Updated Jun 21, 2023 How To Make A Great Smoothie When it comes to making a smoothie, don’t overthink it. The best ones are often made from improvising with what you have on hand. Toss in your slightly browned banana, sprinkle in a handful of spinach that’s about to go bad, or use up that half can of coconut milk. Just a little bit of each can go far in a delicious blended drink....
Updated Dec 04, 2017 I realize that the topic of exercise is probably the last thing you want to think about while on vacation. Instead, visions of sugarplums (in the form of umbrella drinks and swim-up bars) most likely dance through your head! But take it from this well-traveled gal – a vacation is not the time to throw all your healthy eating and exercise habits out the window. Not only will you feel sloth-like on your return (which is never pretty), it’ll be that much harder to pick up where you left off....
About Aloo Puri Aloo puri is a hearty, satisfying vegan breakfast that is a favorite weekend treat at our house. Aloo (Hindi for “potato”) refers to the curry portion of the meal, while Puri (or poori) refers to the the crisp fried breads the curry is served with. This recipe comes from my mother-in-law, and it is one of her most treasured family recipes. She considers it her best aloo sabzi recipe (sabzi means “cooked vegetables”), and the whole family simply adores it....
