BM #1 - AAE - Day 19 - Tawa Pulao | Mumbai Street Food

By
Tawa Pulao is an immensely tasty pulao recipe made with the rice, veggies and rich Indian spices. This is one of the most famous street food recipe and known as Mumbai’ s Special Tawa Pulao. This is the best delight or treat for the lovable Mumbaikar’s.

This dish is a great party dish. If you want to do something innovative, you could cook this right in front of your guests. The predominant ingredient in this dish is the tawa or the girdle.  If you have an iron girdle, then its great, however even a non stick one would do. If you don't have a girdle at home, then you can cook this dish in a regular kadhai or pan.


Serves 4
Ingredients:
4 cups cooked basmati rice, (I have used regular rice)
1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced,
1/2 cup carrot, cut lenght wise,
1/2 cup green beans, cut into inch pieces,
1/2 cup green peas,
1/2 cup capsicum, cut in cubes,
3-4 green chillies, finely chopped,
2-3 tbsp butter, (I have used Amul butter)
1-1/2 tbsp pav bhaji masala,
1 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste,
Salt as per taste,
Green coriander for garnishing,


Method:

  1. Take a girdle/pan and set it on the stove. Allow it to become completely hot. Keeping the flame high, add the butter. As it sizzles, add the onion and fry. As it turns golden brown, add the ginger garlic paste.
  2. Keep stirring and keeping the flame high, add the carrots and green beans and stir fry for 3-4 mins.
  3. Next add the capsicum and green peas and stir fry for another 3-4 mins.
  4. Remember you are not looking at cooking the vegetables. All the vegetables should be half cooked and retain the crunch.
  5. Add the turmeric powder, salt, and green chillies and mix well. 
  6. Reduce the flame and add the pav bhaji masala. 
  7. Now slowly add the rice and mix well ensuring you do it gently. Adjust the seasoning.
  8. Garnish with green coriander and serve hot immediately.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
