Veg Uttapam

I usually do not let out any opportunity to sneek in veggies in my toddlers meals. Here is another example.

Puran Poli - Happy Holi and I am back to blogging

Image
Happy Holi!!! Puran Poli Honestly, I was in a 'blogging boredom', maybe it was the weather...or..maybe not, not very certain. But atleast till next boredom season strikes, I do have plenty to write about, a resolution I have made to myself. Holi Haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!! Ok, so this year too as the tradition goes, I did make a few Puran Polis/Bobatloo..or whatever each one calls it in their region. However, just a day before I realised that we dnt have much Chana Dal (just a couple of table spoons). So I did some research on mixing it with Tuar Dal. I found out that people make it with either of the dals, no mix and match. This all the more gave me some motivation to trying mixing them both and see what happens (yeah, watch too many Curious George with my son). The Puran Poli results were the same like every year. I did not find much difference in taste, ultimately it tasted the same with a stuffing of cooked dal, jaggery, nutmeg powder and cardomom powder stuffed i...

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...

Designer Kitchens and Baking Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Image
Around 10 years ago, my dad and I bought a Samsung Convention Microwave oven for casual baking and roasting. I personally did try making a few pizzas and roasting chicken, but never a cake or cookie. The enthusiasm slowly died down. Than, my mum used it only for warming food (of course that too made her life easy, but that's it). I am talking about finding baking ingredients in Mumbai (India) 10 years ago. In fact, buying a whole cake was much cheaper than the resources to bake one, including electricity. However, that's not the case anymore. With a spurt of multinationals and supermarkets, its easy to find baking powder even at the local grocery store. We surely can afford melting cheese at 500 deg F too. The last time I heard, my mum had a guest who baked some delicious brownies in the same oven. Voila!!! I am appalled with the passion at which people are building designer kitchens especially those that hardly cook or bake anything in the...
