Garlic Mashed Potatoes

-
Mashed potatoes goes great with grilled chicken, fish or veggies. I and love to replace or rice with mashed potatoes if there is an option in the restaurants menu. 
So every time I bake fish I always serve in on a bed of mashed potatoes and with a side of veggies, trying to get a balanced meal here :)
So here is another recipe for mashed potato.
This is my 4th entry for the 4th of july.


Ingredients
  1. Potatoes: 2-3 pounds peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  2. garlic: 4 cloves peeled
  3. water
  4. Salt: 1 teaspoon 
  5. unsalted butter: 3 tablespoons (42 g) 
  6. plain yogur: 1 cup (240 ml) 
  7. Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup (25 g) grated 
  8. fresh thyme:1 sprig leaves removed
  9. fresh parsley:2 sprigs chopped
  10. sage:3 leaves fresh chopped
  11. paprika: 1/4 teaspoon 
Procedure:


Preheat the oven to 350° F/175° C.
In the 3-quart pot, cover the potatoes and garlic with water, add salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook until potatoes are fork tender. Drain.
Stir the butter into the drained potatoes, then add the yogurt and Parmesan cheese. Whip with the hand mixer, then stir in the thyme, parsley, and sage.
Spread in the prepared baking dish, then sprinkle on the paprika. Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve hot.
I served it with my mini chicken pot pies with a chilled glass of lemonade as 4th of July  lunch and it was a great hit with Tanmaya.


Enjoy this yummy dish and do let me know.
Till then happy blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps.

You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
