Soups And Salads Event - Pan Tossed Chicken And Egg Salad

This simple chicken salad is the perfect salad for a lunch or dinner. The hard-cooked eggs give it nice flavor and texture, and the lemon juice and honey add the tang and sweetness to the salad.

This is a cold salad and tastes best when chilled. Make sure you have all the ingredients refrigerated before you start.

1 tsp soya sauce,

1 tsp olive oil,

For the dressing:
1 tbsp honey,
1 tbsp mustard sauce,
1 tbsp lemon juice,
1 tbsp olive oil,
Salt and pepper as per taste,


Method:
  1. Shred the chicken into small pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Add the shredded chicken and toss well. Add the soya sauce and worcestershire sauce and mix well. Allow it to chill.
  3. Mix all the ingredients for the dressing and set it aside to chill.
  4. Cut the boiled eggs and set it aside to chill.
  5. In a serving bowl or plate, add all the ingredients and mix well.

Authentic Bhajani Chakli | Chakli Recipe | Maharashtrian Chakli Recipe

 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.

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

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

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 ...
