Bhindi Masala | Lady's Finger Masala

By
Simple food on some days are the best. Its comforting and reassuring. Cooking lady's finger can be quite tricky. They really get gooey if not cooked properly. There are so many variations to cooking lady's finger, but this one is loved the most at home. 


Serves: 4
Ingredients:
300 gms lady's finger, washed, dried, cut into 1 inch pieces,
1 large onion, chopped finely,
1 large tomato, chopped finely,
1 tsp ginger garlic paste,
1 tsp mustard seeds,
1 tsp cumin seeds,
1 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tsp red chilli powder,
1 tsp amchoor or dry mango powder,
1 tsp garam masala powder,
2 tbsp oil,
Salt as per taste


Method:

  1. Heat oil in a non-stick pan. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and allow it to crackle. Add the onions and fry until golden brown in color.
  2. Add the tomatoes and ginger garlic paste and fry well. Add the turmeric and red chilli powder and mix well. 
  3. Once the oil separates, add the cut lady's finger pieces and mix well. Add salt and mix well.
  4. Do not cover the pan. Allow the lady's finger to cook on its own for some time. 
  5. Once cooked to satisfaction, add the dry mango powder and garam masala and mix well.
  6. Garnish with green coriander and serve hot.


Serve this with hot steamed rice or roti's. They taste delicious.

Enjoy :-)

Authentic Bhajani Chakli | Chakli Recipe | Maharashtrian Chakli Recipe

By
 Chakli is a delightfully scrumptious snack that is often made in India during Diwali festival. Also known as Chakri, these spiral shaped crunchy snacks are made using the perfect blend of lentils and spices. Deep fried to a golden brown perfection, chaklis are lightly spiced with turmeric and chili packing in an explosion of flavors in every bite. Different parts of India have variations of this recipe. For example, in South India, Murukku(Chakli) is made using rice flour and a mild seasoning of salt and asafoetida. In Gujarat, Chakri is made with whole wheat flour or rice flour. In Maharashtra it is made with Bhajani, a special homemade flour. Chakli is easily one of the most popular Indian Diwali snack AKA faral and is best enjoyed with a piping hot cup of tea. What is Bhajani? Traditional Maharashtrian Chakli is made with a special homemade flour of rice and lentils called Bhajani. Rice and lentils are washed, air dried and then dry roasted over slow heat along with cu...

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...

Sesame Seed Pellets - Til Ke Laddu

By
Happy Makar Sankranti & Pongal to all!!! Makar Sankranti is perhaps the only Indian festival whose date always falls on the same day every year i.e. the 14th of January. Can you guess why? This is because the festival of Sankranti is based on the solar calendar unlike the rest of Indian festivals, which are based on the lunar calendar. Makar literally means "Capricorn" and Sankranti is the day when the Sun changes it's position from one sign of the Zodiac to the other. Even though Sankranti comes every month, in the month of Magha (January) it is considered especially auspicious as it coincides with the harvest season and marks the end of the winter season. (Info: Google) Being a South Indian, I've relived the happiness and joy of Pongal every year... Though I did make chakara pongal which is customary in our house, I also decided to make Til Ke Laddu or tilgul . The sesame seed or til is given a lot of importance because in this season it is considered ...
