The word Satay is a modern Indonesian and Malay spelling of Sate , a dish of seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce.

Highway on my plate tonight!!!! Who doesn’t gets fascinated by Dhaba foods… No matter where we go and eat, a 5star or a 7star, nothing can beat the rustic flavor that a dhaba provides our palate. I am not much of an aristocratic person…i loved to stick to my roots, the roots of India that defines my taste, my culture and my food. The Dhaba moves wherever a highway goes.” The first Dhaba was probably established soon after the linking of the cities of India by highways (national, state and village roads). Food served in Dhabas is wholesome and full…

9 months of blogging and my 100th post…feels great. The journey so far has been a learning experience that allowed me to explore and nurture my culinary skills. Initially baking was one of my weakest point, but gradually it became my strength. What can be a better way to express my happiness on my 100th post than baking a cake. Zebra-striped cake made with patterns of vanilla batter and cocoa batter is one of the impressive looking cakes. It looks complicated to make but in fact its very easy to get the patterns.

Nothing says Italy like its food, and nothing says Italian food like pasta. Wherever Italians immigrated they have brought their pasta along, so much so today it can be considered a staple of international cuisine. Unlike other ubiquitous Italian products like pizza and tomato sauce, which have a fairly recent history, pasta may have a much older pedigree, going back hundreds -if not thousands- of years. Spaghetti is an Italian word that literally means “little twines.” Spaghetti is a very popular form of Italian pasta. Spaghetti, then, is pasta that is shaped into long, thin, round strands—that look kind of…

It’s Christmas time and lots of baking going around which inspired me baking a cake too. After lots of online searches i found my friend Nidhi S Raj’s recipe of Tooti Fruity Cake as the best and worth trying. I followed the original recipe from http://soulandspicebox.com/eggless-tooti-fruity-loaf/. The recipe was precise and easy to follow. As i wanted to try my hands on an eggless version, hence this recipe came out to be the best. Though the original recipe doesn’t have dry fruits but i chose to add some to make it a lil more rich.

Mutton Keema slow cooked with freshly choppe fenugreek leaves and green pea is a typical winter delicacy that is cooked in my house almost every weekend. The mutton keema along with some fried potatoes and methi matar gives an amzing flavor and texture to the dish. It not just increases the volume but also gives a bite to the dish. Teamed up with hot chapatis/rumali rotis or just plain white rice, Keema Methi Aloo Matar is a must have in winters. If you liked this recipe, please drop in your feedback in comments below. Thanks for stopping by!
