Baked Beans Grilled Sandwiches

Being a Punjabi, I have eaten kidney beans, aka rajma, a lot, but never got bored eating them, in fact, I can eat them everyday!! Beans are not only look beautiful but also have many health benefits. They provide energy, fibers, antioxidants, folate and magnesium. They are also a good source of protein and iron. So happily add them in soups, stews, salads and more. I've had baked beans quite a lot time but this recipe is so delicious, buttery and flavorful and that's what I wanted!!! I tried many vegetables but found capsicum the best. Baking the vegetables with beans actually intensifies all the flavours together. So try it and cook the natural way!!! Hope you like it!!!!

I spend my holidays doing nothing. I enjoy every bit of free time that I get, just being easy on myself, but then hunger doesn't go on holidays :( and to top that people expect you to cook something special, for it's your holiday, hmm what an irony! Anyways today's recipe is my "to the rescue" recipe ..lol!!! It's very easy and so delicious, problem fixed!!! So whether you have unexpected guests or to make your family happy and not in a mood to spend more time in the kitchen, this recipe is the answer! You can use store-bought cottage cheese, but it is so easy to prepare at home. I would suggest you to give it a try, the link on how to make paneer is given in the ingredients list. So while you prepare the paneer cheese, your gravy would get ready by then. So enjoy and cook the natural way. Hope you like it

Basic Tomato Pasta

The moment you have tasted pasta, I'm sure you must have fallen in love with it !!! Before this recipe, I tried tomato pasta many times but never found it satisfactory, then finally it hit me and since then I am happy with it. This recipe is really good and very close to the classic one. It is the basic tomato pasta sauce, once you make it , you can add any vegetable or meat. Of course, it tastes great with cheese and cream but if you are on a dairy-free diet, you can skip adding them. It will taste good without them. But if you are not, I will recommend adding them. So next time craving for tomato pasta, don't buy the store-bought pasta sauce, just try this recipe and cook the natural way!!!Hope you like it!

Four Herbs Rice

Hey I am back with this easy but tasty rice recipe. I don't eat rice much, but when I do, I love them. Rice are so flavour-friendly and versatile, you can do a lot with them! This recipe has a blend of four herbs and coconut which goes well with any gravy dish. I have put two herbs direct into the oil to get intense flavour and used other two herbs later for a mild touch. So instead of cooking plain rice, try this recipe. Hope you like it!!

Chocolate Brownies

Valentine's day is incomplete without chocolate, agree? I know you are!! So here is my favorite brownie recipe, which is so divine! I made it twice this week (on demand) , the first one was fudgy , chewy and the second batch was a little fluffy and cakey  , with only a slight difference in both of them, that  I will tell you later. I 've used  cocoa powder (I always run out of   chocolates no matter how much I stock, hehe) and used cream instead of butter ( for even softer brownies). So now you don't need to rush out and buy ingredients ( generally we have cocoa powder and cream at home)  to  have a stress-free valentine's special cooking!!! Have a wonderful valentine's day!! This recipe ends my valentine's day special week. Hope you like all the recipes, which were so easy yet delicious!!!

Heart"beet" Cutlets

Beetroot, I don't know why its taste confuses me, do I like it or not?:) Still for health sake I do eat beetroots happily! Beetroot is another wonder food on earth that is loaded with vitamins and minerals. And the colour, so dramatic, so royal and when it is added to white, the pink, is just the perfect romantic colour and this is what I needed!!! These cutlets are very easy to make. BTW, I really love the name I've given them "heart -beet" Cutlets!!. Hope you like it!!

Sweetheart Carrots ( valentine's day special)

I am really happy to share this post!! Lately I came across a picture showing how to cut carrots into heart shape, so I tried to do that. It was fun, though mine were not so neat, but I really like to use this idea for my valentine's special week. If you are not as crazy as me, cut the carrots the regular way. This recipe is actually not a recipe, it is just cooking carrots with sugar.  I was lucky to have fresh coconut at hand but you can use store-bought grated coconut. A super easy dessert, perfect for "less time in kitchen, more time for togetherness" Valentine's day! Hope you like it!!!
