-
Last week we celebrated our 4th anniversary. I decided to make a yummy dinner for Tanmaya but he loves when I prepare something new and I was running out of ideas so I decided to give a try to coriander rice. It goes great with raita and any masaledar curry.

Ingredients:
  1. Basmati Rice: 1 cup
  2. Onion: 1 small thinly sliced
  3. Cardamom : 2
  4. Javitri : 1
  5. Cumin Seeds: 1/2 tsp
  6. Green Chillies: 2-3 ( adjust as per your taste)
  7. Coriander Leave: 1 bunch
  8. Cumin Seeds: 1 tsp
  9. Ginger: 1/2 a inch
  10. Coriandre Powder: 1 tbsp
  11. Cumin Powder: 1 tsp
  12. Salt as per taste.
  13. Fried Onion: 1/2 cup
  14. Oil: 2 tbsp

Procedure:
Make a fine paste of with coriander leaves, green chillis and ginger.
Cook the rice with 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker or any way you prefer.
In a kadhai heat the oil, add the Cumin seeds, cardamom and javitri.
As the cumin stops spluttering add the sliced onions with a pinch of salt and cook till onions are translucent.
Add the coriander, green chili and ginger paster, along with salt to taste, coriander powder, cumin powder and cook till the raw smell is gone and oil slits oozing out.
Add the cooked rice little at a time and keep tossing carefully not to mash up the rice.
Once all the rice is added fry for another 2 mins.
turn of the heat and add the fried onions and mix well.
Serve it hot with raita and curry and enjoy.
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. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. 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
