Inspired cooking: July 2009

Wednesday, July 8, 2009. A simple cake was all I wanted to bake for a long time. The one I remember eating from my Mom's kitchen long long ago. Neither she remembers what the cake is called nor does she remember the recipe. So, I gave up all hope of baking the simplest of simple cakes. This was until Lakshmi blogged her plain cake. Recipe. So, this was it. "Plain cake" - so simple a name, yet I never knew about it. A zillion thanks to dear Lakshmi. Both me and my husband love it. I also added some raisin...

Wednesday, March 18, 2009. Looks like the blogging fever is not going to leave me anytime soon. When I first wanted to start a blog, an year ago, I just pushed off an idea of a food blog. Me and food blog - pleaaassseeee. So, back then, I started to post some piano notations for hindi songs. About 1600 unique visitors have visited that blog. Where I get to review stuff. Hmm. I have to admit, I haven't scribbled much there, so its visitors can hardly be counted on fingers. So, have fun! Of an inspired coo...

Thursday, June 25, 2009. This is one sweet that I never get bored of eating. Gajar ka halwa with vanilla icecream is the coolest combo ever. Sugar - slightly less that half cup. Ghee - 4 tbsp. Milk - about 3/4th cup. Nuts and raisins to garnish. Keep the grated carrot ready - either using a mixer or the hand tool. Heat 3 tbsp ghee in a wide bottomed pan. Add the grated carrot and fry till the carrot turns from bright orange to paler yellowish orange. Friday, June 5, 2009. Surfing the Internet you acciden...

Friday, September 25, 2009. Pudina Pulao with Mix Vegetable Curry. Looks like a time-taking recipe, but trust me, the combo can be cooked in just about half hour. Pudina/mint pulao's been inspired from Mahanandi. Coming to veggy curry, I got a chance to taste this at a friend's house. She's this terrific cook and a sweet talker who I'm sure would rock the food-blog-world if she starts blogging on a serious note. Here's the curry recipe:. Trader Joes "Masala Simmer Sauce" - 1/3 tin. Potato - 1 medium size.

Half-and-half milk - 1 cup. Elachi pods - about 7,8. Pista and badam - handful. Saffron strands - a pinch. Boil the 2% milk in a non-stick pan on a low flame with 2 spoons sugar added. Make sure you stir the milk now and then in between so that it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan and burn. Take some pista, badam and gr...

Inspired cooking: Pineapple Sheera
http://kitchen-clicks.blogspot.com/2009/10/pineapple-sheera.html
Friday, October 9, 2009. A typical Maharastrian sweet served for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Until I started working in Pune, I did not know that sweet can be had at breakfast time too. Back in the lunch room at our office, the caterer would make pineapple sheera for breakfast. I loved it so much that I would usually skip lunch that day by eating 3-4 rounds of this sweet alone. Boil the pineapple chunks either on stove-top or in microwave. Dont let them get mushy. Few things to note are:. I trashed away...

Monday, March 30, 2009. I knead and set aside the dough atleast an hour before preparing the parathas. Doing so imparts a soft texture to the dough. For the paratha dough,. Add sufficient salt to the atta (wheat flour). Using a little amount of milk and water, knead the atta to a fine dough. There should not be any lumps, and the dough should not be hard. The softer it is, the softer your parathas. It should be soft *not* sticky, so don't add too much of milk/water. Taste the stuffing, and add more salt/...

Friday, May 29, 2009. Samosa sure qualifies as the most popular and most likeable Indian snack item. Garam garam samosas on a cool wintry afternoon is the best treat you can give yourself. Again, I'm posting this now (after weeks of clicking the pic) since I so much want to eat it right away (its 15degrees where I stay), but laziness is what is holding me back from cooking. Bah! Its too cold outside, who'll go and cook. So, satisfying my appetite by drooling at this picture below:. Tuesday, May 26, 2009.
