Soups And Salads Event - Creamy Baby Potato Salad With Dill

By
There are countless versions of a potato salad: mustardy, sweet, mayonnaise, olive oil, jalapenos, yogurt and the list goes on. However, I like it with sour cream. I love sour cream. Also you could use a variety of herbs to perk up the recipe - mint, coriander or a combination of both. I decided to use dill this time. You can get experimental with the herbs of your choice as anything will taste as good as this one with dill does.

Must mention about the wine. Its delicious. A slight bitterness just at the end of very bite, makes it so drool worthy.


Serves 4

Ingredients:
200 gms baby potatoes, boiled in salted water, peeled,
1/2 cup sour cream,
6-8 cloves of garlic, diced,
1 tbsp olive oil,
2-3 tbsp white wine or vodka (optional)
1 tbsp chopped dill,


Method:
  1. In a pan, heat olive oil. Add the chopped garlic and saute.
  2. Add the potatoes and saute for some time.
  3. Remove from fire and add the wine or vodka and mix well.
  4. Put it back on low flame. Be careful, the spirit in the alcohol might catch flame. Dont worry, it will go off in a few seconds.
  5. Once the liquid gets absorbed turn off the heat and all the pan to cool down completely.
  6. Once cooled, add the sour cream and mix well.
  7. Add the dill and salt as per taste
  8. Serve warm on a bed of lettuce.

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...
