A Healthy Salad...

To call this a Salad Recipe would be an insult to your intelligence. Lets just say this is how I like my salads.. :-) A little corn, some onions, capsicum, tomatoes (a MUST!) and a dash of...

Caramelized Onion & Garlic Buns

Cold Pasta Salad

Disclaimer: The idea of a cold pasta is still weird for me. And even weirder is the dressing I used for this. I dont guarantee the taste because I didnt eat this. However, my brother, who...

Cheesy Vegetable Sandwich

One of the reasons why I get to experiment a lot with food is because I am not responsible for ensuring that everybody at home is fed on time. Thats Mas job. So, I dont mind spending an hour or...

How to make Khoya (or Mawa) at home

Grissini (Italian Breadsticks)

I think yeast is starting to love me. ;-) How else would you explain every yeast experiment succeeding? (touch wood!!!) In fact, Ive already made them thrice, in varying sizes. Homemade...

Chinese Vegetable Noodle Soup

I have said it before. I am not a soup person. But then, my idea of soup has always been blitzing the hell out of beautiful tomatoes and then further slaughtering by squeezing out the liquid from...

Double Chocolate Brownies

It didn’t seem like I was baking Brownies for the first time. The entire process of getting everything together took less than 5 minutes! Honest truth. Straight Face. From my Heart! It would be...

I mastered the Caramel Sauce a while back. Remember this exceptionally fancy birthday cake? I gave the regular old chocolate ganache a twist by adding caramel sauce. And believe you me, it was......

Mixed Vegetable Curry

I know I’ve been MIA for quite sometime. I’ve been vacationing down south. Well, more like sweating truckloads & doing absolutely nothing! Since there was no scope for baking, (which I consider......
