It’s the 3rd day of Jan’2015, the climate is super cold and raining too…Never ever imagined that winters can be this chilling here in Raipur. Now as God is being so kind to me, i just thought to enjoy the freezing climate with some crunchy munchy snack that can go perfect with evening Tea. Something hot and cheesy…. just the way i like. Evening snacks are a quite challenging in my home. It should neither be too light nor too heavy. Should be tasty, something new always….phewww! Still i love to take up the challenge and try to create something…

I have been always looking for a good whole wheat cake recipe. After a long search i came across a simple and no fuss recipe of whole wheat egg less orange cake. The cake has the orange flavor with a light orange color. The orange juice and the zest indeed give the cake a sweet and a fruity punch.

In my family celebration is all about having Biryani. In any occasion, a good Biryani is always the show stopper. Usually i make varieties of Biryani following my mom’s and grandmom’s recipes but today again for a change i tried making by following the recipe of master chef Sanjeev Kapoor.

Nothing can be more blissful than a freezing winter morning, a lazzzyy Sunday and having your favorite Pasta with lots of Tomatoes, Corns and Cream Cheese Sauce…. Bliss! A complete bliss!!!

Cornmeal is a kind of flour or meal that is made from ground sweet corn. It comes in yellow, white, blue or red varieties, depending on the type of corn used. Since cornmeal is gluten-free, fine and medium cornmeal is usually mixed with wheat flour to create a crumbly texture in baked goods like cornbread or corn muffins.Today i used white corn meal in making rawa dosa. Surprisingly the dosa came out to be much more tastier than those regular ones.

Here falls a holiday again…! My cooking took a fancy turn again to please my son amd make his holiday worth. Presenting Paneer Malai Tikka with Cream Dip , Sauce , lil salad and accompanied by Jeweled Dark Chocolate Cake and Hot Chocolate Drink. Normally the Paneer Tikka is grilled in microwave but sometime i found that after grilling the tikkas use to get tight. So this time i opted to shallow roast them in a non stick tawa. The outer crust became crisp and the softness of the paneer inside kept intact.

Corn Marbles are one of the most wanted snack in my home. My son often nags for some hotel type snack which he can enjoy at home. Like any other kid even he is fond of all fried stuff. So i chose to make one at home instead of getting something ready made. Corn Marbles are tasty , crunchy oval shaped potato balls filled with corns, peas and pea nuts. The sewai coating makes it scrumptious and i make kids fall in love with the marbles. The corn marbles are again an easy option for kid’s tiffin boxes.

Today i tried my hands on the famous Galouti Kebabs of Lucknow. ‘Galouti’ or ‘Galawati’ means melt in the mouth. And definitely these kebabs melt in your mouth.Their is an interesting history of these Galouti kebabs. This kebab was especially created for the ageing Nawab Wajid Ali Shah of Lucknow. The Nawab had lost all his teeth. But his passion for meat remained intact. So, this melt in the mouth kebab was prepared in his royal kitchens to satisfy the Nawab’s love for meat. The Galouti kebabs are traditionally prepared by marinating the finely ground goat meat with raw papaya…

Gobhi / Cauliflower is the alone vegetable that makes my meal complete. Today as i skipped my lunch and was hungry late evening, i just thought to spice up my high tea with Chilli Gobhi. Cauliflower florets cooked with an oriental tang. Though it goes best with Noodles or Fried rice, i decided to have it as a snack….lol

Cheers to a healthy morning again. Honestly, today i had nothing planned for breakfast. Yes, wanted to have something healthy n nutritious for sure. Few days back i made Chill-o-Melt Bonanza n Pan cakes for my son. Just revised both the recipes again n innovated The Whole Wheat Spinacho-Egg Pan Cake. Though pan cakes are made with all purpose flour but to make it more healthier i chose to opt wheat flour. Easy n a quick fix recipe again to make ur breakkie tasty, healthy and completely filling. Lets proceed with the recipe…..
