Spinach, Tomato & Cottage Cheese Salad

By
Don’t you love it when you pin something, and click on the photo, expecting to be taken to the link that will provide the recipe, then- nothing? Dud. A while back, I pinned a photo of a salad that I thought looked perfect for a summer salad. When I tried to see the link to the photo, it was a dead end. No recipe link. Oh well. I looked at the photo again, and discovered this: You don’t need to be Martha to figure this one out. All you need are: spinach, tomato, cottage cheese and about 5 minutes.


This salad can be made year 'round, but is best in the summer months for a casual brunch. That said, it is also best made with tomatoes that are NOT juicy. I like to make it with cherry or grape tomatoes (simple to slice them in half, or leave them whole in the salad) so there is not an issue with the tomatoes giving off too much water and making the salad runny.

Ingredients:
1 cup baby spinach,
1 medium tomato,
50 gms cottage cheese,
1/4 th cup pomegranates,

Dressing:
1/2 lemon juice,
1 tsp olive oil,
1 tsp honey,
Crushed pepper & salt to taste


Method:
1. Mix the dressing in a small cup and mix it well.
2. Add all the fresh ingredients in a bowl.
3. Pour the dressing over the ingredients and mix well.
4. Serve chilled.

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.

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 ...
