BM #1 - AAE - Day 12 - Hot Puri's With Potato Curry - Puri Aloo

By
What do you do when you are so caught up at work and other things that you forget to do your vegetable shopping? Run to your favorite vegetable, potato, and make something out of it. Simple :-) So if you have just potato, onion and tomato, the basic vegetables, you can churn out an awesome dish. To give a basic simple potato curry a twist and make everyone on the dinner table feel "wow", give it a twist. Serve it with puri rather than your regular roti or paratha. Everybody thinks its an elaborate and filling meal and will thank you for so much of effort :-)


Ingredients:
5 medium sized potatoes, boiled, peeled, cubed,
2 medium sized onions, grated,
2 medium sized tomatoes, grated,
1 tsp cumin seeds,
1 tsp onion seeds,
2 tbsp thick curd,
1-2 tsp red chilli powder,
1 tsp turmeric powder,
1 tsp cumin powder,
1 tsp garam masala powder,
2 tbsp oil,
Salt to taste,


Method:
  1. Heat oil in a pan. Add the cumin and onion seeds and allow it to crackle. Add the grated onions and fry until golden brown.
  2. Add grated tomatoes and fry until the oil separates. 
  3. Add the turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin powder, salt and mix well. Add about quarter cup of water and keep frying. 
  4. Add the curd and keep stirring. 
  5. Add the cubed potatoes and mix well. Ensure that the potatoes don't start to break.
  6. Adjust water, add garam masala powder, and salt as per taste. Bring it to a boil.
  7. Garnish with green coriander and serve hot.

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 ...
