A Hearty Breakfast of pancakes and more

I had a hard time getting my toddler eat oatmeal. He used to like it as a baby, but now that his taste buds have matured, he dislikes the slimy texture of a classic oatmeal recipe. I tried adding some yummy things to it like butter, golden and black raisins, maple syrup, nuts, honey, brown sugar; tried changing the consistency too...but still a big NO. Maybe M&Ms??? oh no..that wont work .It wnt be breakfast than.

Pancakes have always proven to be a food in disguise. Enjoy them sweet or savoury. Ground oats, All purpose flour (we love it with whole wheat flour as well), egg, buttermilk, baking soda, baking powder and a dash of vanilla essence (if sweet). And voila. They literally melt in the mouth. So is the story with savory pancakes. Potatoes, Zucchini, Sweet Potatoes, Pumpkins, you name it and they can be added to a pancake.

At Lemons and Rinds, I am offering this Breakfast or Brunch Party Menu. It is simple food, to be enjoyed at the earliest.








Pancakes - Blueberry, oats, bananas, apple;  or Potato, Zucchini
Eggs of choice or spicy egg Bhurjee with Pav
Four kind of Cheeses
Hash Browns or Indian Potato Tikkis with chutney
Savoury scones or biscuits with berry jam
Muffins - Blueberry, Banana, Chocolate Chips or any berry in season
Tutty Frutty Buns with loads of butter and jam, the Irani Hotel style
Deli style sandwiches
Beverages

Do not fail to contact me for more ideas and details.

Happy Eating

Chicken Parmesan - can never wrong

Image
While in India, eating chicken at home on Sundays would mean Chicken Curry. My mother and the rest of the extended family on both sides (meaning Maternal and Paternal), would make blind folded Chicken curries on Sundays. It was such a routine for years and years, that the new generation has reached its saturation point. I have a terrible nausea of chicken curries now in my 30s. (My mother still makes chicken curry on sundays, with the same masala, and refuses to abandon it at ay cost). So, thanks to my life a little away from my beloved families, and above all our little toddler who loves Chicken, Parmesan Chicken was the solution to my boredom. It is something I can never ever go wrong with and I can make plenty and plenty of servings of it. I guess a dish that the cook herself loves (no no darling, I am not a feminist!!!), always comes out the best. Crispy, golden brown crust on the outside and moist chicken on the inside, is what makes it so delectable. Time and...

The Begining

It all begins today April 06th 2011, after putting down my little toddler for a late afternoon nap, that I have posted my first ad on an online website. Its all about offering food and satisfying the individual palate. I believe its high time I get into the market and put myself down for a foody test. Currently I am doing it from my very own homely kitchen and offering everyday individual and family meals to all those tired of eating out of their own cook houses. I call out to those lazy, busy and tired moms to order meals from my food gallery. I invite all those bachelors who are bored of eating Maggis, pastas and ready to eat meals out of steamed boxes. By the way, eating fancy restaurant food will only reduce your lifespan and you dnt know how long those gravies have been sitting in the freezer, I know it! Call me atleast 24 hrs in advance for a meal, no matter lunch or dinner and I will be happy to get the homely food boxes ready for ...

Summer 2011 begins - Watermelon Salad

Image
 I seriously do not understand the underestimation of fruits. Why are they so proudly eaten only for desserts. Why not for appetizers or in a side dish? When a tomato claims its place in all soups and gravies, what about other fruits. I am putting myself on a mission to make it possible for everyone to use fruits as a part of our everyday lives, as in the main dinner plate. Watermelon being watery, is a fruit, I believe all Chefs (do Chefs really cook? maybe I rephrase it to all 'Cooks'!) are scarred of because of its watery properties and almost negligible flavour. However, the truth is that when watermelon is paired with spices and herbs, it enhances the natural tastes of the melon. So, having said that I was on the look for a watermelon salad pairing, when I came across this amazing salad. The outside temperatures already soaring to the mid 80's, nobody really craves for hot curries and Nan for meals. Crunchy and soothing salads are the ...
