Strawberry Lemonade

 
 

 So rainy season is almost gone here and it's hot again, so the perfect time for a lemonade. I am in love with lemonade since my childhood. It's refreshing taste makes me forget everything about hot days plus it has health benefits too. This drink has a nice hint of strawberries and I love its colour. You can also add vodka (I recommend vanilla flavoured) if u want an alcoholic version of it. So enjoy the drink whether it is hot or not :) Hope you like it! Get the recipe here!

Pomegranate Rice


I don't eat rice much but I love them. Rice goes well with any kind of flavour. It is for me a comfort food. Whenever I'm not in a mood of cooking, I try my rice recipes and it always save the day. Brown rice are considered to be the healthiest rice but that doesn't mean white rice are bad for your health. This recipe is easy but a good balance of sweet n sour taste, makes it special. I had some pomegranate quietly lying in my refrigerator, waiting for their turn :), I wanted to use them differently and that's how this recipe came up. Honestly , I won't say this is my best rice recipe, but it tasted very good  and I would like try it again. Hope you like it too! Get the recipe here!

MATAR PANEER in SPICED WHITE SAUCE

Weather these days is very confusing here, at one time it is raining and the other, the sun is shining. Whenever I decide to cook something "rain special", it's dry and warm...lol! Well, this time I'm here with this smooth and creamy recipe. I usually use white sauce in pasta recipes or baked recipes, but this time I tried white sauce with an Indian touch, by adding spices. This recipe is a good change, try it someday! Hope you like it!! Get the recipe here

Honey-Mint Chicken



Another weekend gone and we are all back to our routines. phew!!! Life is like that sometimes new, sometimes phew :D, but still it's beautiful. Anyways, enjoyed this chicken recipe last night and it was a big hit. The sourness of buttermilk, the sweetness of honey and the hint of mint, give this dish a very nice fresh taste. Hope you like it!! Get the recipe here!!

Homemade Coconut Milk

Hey there!!! I am here after a 2 weeks, been very busy and had a great time with family! Anyways, here is an easy homemade ingredient " the coconut milk". I love this magical ingredient  -why magical??- it changes the texture and the taste of any dish to put it into. It's coconutty taste makes any dish richer and it has health benefits too. And it is a good substitute for a dairy-free diet. With a little effort, you can extract coconut milk very easily at home. Here's how I did it!!!

Corn Week Day 7-- Corns-Oat Grilled Sandwich

 So, this is my last post of the corn week. Hope you all like them. It was great experimenting with these golden beads (this is what I call them). Well, these sandwiches are my comfort food. I usually have them in breakfast. The recipe is very easy and simple. I 've used Oats for the creaminess (a healthier option). There is a local baker's shop near my place, who bakes very good breads, I never miss a chance to buy their breads, it makes my sandwiches even tastier. Go, give them a try, they are very tasty. Hope you like it! Get the recipe here!!

Corn Week Day 6-- Corn-Semolina Patties



Happy Sunday to all of you!!! Today is the sixth day of my corn week. This time I've come up with these patties. I always use a vegetable as a base for patties, but this time I recalled a recipe which I tried long ago, I took semolina (suji) as a binding base instead. You can add vegetables of choice but since it's a corn week here, corns were must for these patties. The recipe is easy, and very fulfilling (I couldn't have anything for dinner after having them...:D). Hope you like it!!! Get the recipe here!
