Meethe Chawal / Sweet Saffron Rice
Hello everyone, Happy New year!!!
It is after 5 months that I am logging in to my blog. Yes, I am all well.
I have been really busy with various responsibilities. We sold our house after living in it for 12 years and moved into a new one that we built ourselves. We knew nothing about building and even though we hired tradesmen to do all the jobs it was a lot of work managing the whole design and construction process. Days were long, stressful and exhausting, and I was overwhelmed in the beginning but supported my husband fully in carrying the project through from start to finish. The result is a home we love and one that reflects our tastes and preferences.
I am starting the year with a seductive recipe that I have grown up eating and love it.
Jhatpat Masala Noodles
The quick and easy masala noodles recipe is super addicting. It will bring back some childhood memories.
Mango Mascarpone Cheesecake with a hint of Cardamom
This mango cheesecake with blueberries is a delicious dessert to enjoy with company or family. No eggs, no baking, no gelatin but still delightful.
Baghare Baingan / Tempered Eggplant, hyderabadi style
In honor of National Heart awareness month I am sharing a heart healthy recipe today which your family will enjoy and your heart will love. When I say heart healthy, the ingredients you use, the way you cook and the portion size make a big difference. Baghare baingan or tempered eggplants is a classic dish from the city of Hyderabad that contains healthful nutrients from seeds and nuts. It is made with baby eggplants and is cooked twice, first shallow fried and then later cooked in fragrant and delicious gravy. I didn’t fry the eggplants prior as recommended but simmered them directly in the gravy, creating a healthier version of the traditional dish.
Dark Chocolate Lava Cake with Cape Velvet Ganache
Sometimes you get the urge to make a dessert again and again with in the span of few days even when it is extremely rich and there is no special occasion. This was one of those times. A friend brought us a liqueur gift basket and, in there was a small bottle of cape velvet. My husband told me it was a brandy based cream liqueur. I had never heard of this brand before but it was very tasty, smooth and creamy. We don’t buy and keep cream liqueur in the house so the idea hit me to use it in chocolate lava cakes. A little liqueur always spices up a decadent dessert. And now, that we are all adults in the house I don’t have to think twice to make alcohol based desserts. When I was about to make these cakes for the third time I realized I barely had enough liqueur for one try. So I made the Sunday evening Super bowl and Valentine special!
Healthy Homemade Chikki / Brittle – three types
Chikki is Indian version of brittle made with jaggery, nuts and seeds. Jaggery is a type of unrefined sugar consumed in the Indian subcontinent and South east Asia. If you can not source jaggery where you live i also have a chikki recipe made with coconut palm sugar and maple syrup.
