Croissant Pudding
There is not much to write about a Bread and Butter Pudding since it is so popular and probably one of the simplest recipes that exist. I make it all the time for my kids with different fruits, nuts and accompaniments. It is one of those recipes that you make and eat without giving much thought to. … Read More
Curried Chicken Noodles
An easy and simple chicken noodle dish that is flavored with curry powder and made nutritious by adding vegetables. I am yet to find a kid who does not like noodles. In fact it would be easier to say that kids love oodles of noodles! And then there are endless varieties to choose from. Though I … Read More
Tuna Sesame Patties
A week from now, my twins will be turning 4. Watching them grow and turning into independent little boys has certainly been the most amazing part of motherhood for me. Not everything has been perfect though, and the challenges were numerous that came with twin motherhood. Having said that, if I had … Read More
Date Night Hot Chocolate with Chocolate Ice Cream
Whether you are about to crank up the heaters in the Northern Hemisphere or heading to the beaches (I know I am...our weather is just suited for that at the moment) in the Southern Hemisphere, I've got you covered in this post. Of course there are things that are neither bound by season or time and … Read More
Cauliflower and Broccoli Gratin
When I was a little girl, I did not even differentiate between a cauliflower and a broccoli and referred to the broccoli as 'a green cauliflower'. However, I did take a strong liking to both and whichever one was being served to me, I ate it with pleasure. And that remains unchanged as of today. Fast forward 30 years, roles have evolved and being a mother, I am curious to know about the nutrition value and benefits of each and every food group that is being fed to my children. While cauliflower and broccoli are no longer the same to me, they are both highly nutritious, rich in vitamin C and fiber. Whenever I find that I have both in my pantry, I tend to combine them in my dishes. This is a great way of eating them together where the vegetables are slightly crunchy, flavoured with herbs and covered in a delicious bechamel sauce and a caramelised cheesy crust. It makes for a nice side dish with meat or fish but can be enjoyed on its own with some crusty bread. I prefer to microwave the vegetables for a few minutes to soften them rather than parboiling them in water. It does help save time along with retaining the nutrition within the vegetables. It's a simple … Read More
Polka Dotted Chocolate Pecan Brownie Tart with Chocolate Ganache
Do you know what is the hardest part of photographing your favourite food? Protecting your lenses and camera from getting food stained. Because every other minute you are picking up the food and eating it. What a ridiculous thing to do but can I I tell you, its easier said than done! I am so in love with this brownie tart. Let me explain why! Unlike a tart, there is no shortcrust pastry or any other pastry involved in this. It's a brownie recipe that bakes beautifully inside a tart pan. The secret ingredient that makes it so luscious and fudgy is cream cheese. And the little polka dots you notice on the top are nothing but chocolate ganache. So basically after the brownie bakes, you make little pockets inside it with the back of a wooden spoon and fill it up with ganache. If that was not all, the brownie is studded with crunchy toasted pecans giving every mouthful a nutty sensation. Chocolate lovers, I highly recommend this recipe for you. Even though it looks fancy, the recipe is pretty much like any other brownie with the exception of the ganache. You can always leave that step and just make the brownie tart though I really wish you don't. It makes the whole thing … Read More
Easy and Healthy Pumpkin and Rosemary Bread
We were so busy with our Diwali celebrations this weekend that despite visits to the bakery and supermarket, we forgot to stock up on a few of our essentials. One of them was bread. That was just the perfect excuse I needed to make this pumpkin bread. The pumpkin puree was ready sitting in my refrigerator thanks to all the work I did the last week. So all that was required of me was to throw in the ingredients into a mixing bowl, mix and bake. The smell of rosemary wafted in the air as the baking progressed reminding me of the winter that was. Before the children woke up and I could put together the rest of breakfast, the bread was ready! Yes, a great looking and smelling, delicious, healthy loaf of bread. The best thing about this bread is that there is no waiting...proofing etc. No added fat..no eggs either...and a handful of ingredients. Who doesn't like a simple, one bowl recipe!. If you have been visiting this space regularly, you would know that I seldom replicate a recipe. I would always add my own personal touches and little twists to make it my own. But this time I haven't changed a thing except reducing the quantity of salt. The original recipe is just perfect … Read More
Kaju Peda. Indian Cashew Nut Fudge
The last quarter of the year is certainly my favourite. From one celebration or festival to another and all the excitement in between. And with celebrations come great food...get togethers...some nostalgia filled cooking and the most awaited traditional dishes of the year. I am also fortunate that our beautiful Spring is just so perfectly aligned with this time of the year. Celebration is in the air! Diwali, rightly called the Festival of Lights is moments away and I am in high spirits as I cook my way through the preparations for perhaps the most food-oriented Indian festival. I say that because, this is the time we splurge, we indulge, we over eat, we gorge on our favourite sweets. Could I be happier! That word you notice at the top of my blog title...yes, Sugar...I get to use it to my heart's content! And there's hardly a soul who would refuse at this time. Talking of sweets the most loved sweet during Diwali are cashew nut based. Nuts do form an integral part of Indian desserts and people spend a fortune buying boxes of cashew nut barfis and other sweets to gift or eat at home. This year, I had promised myself that I wouldn't buy a single one and make all of them at … Read More
