Ice cream in pastry shells
2007-11-02 06:12:00 Surprise guests dropped in for dinner recently. While I could rustle up an acceptable dinner quickly, I really didn’t know what to serve for desert - which isn’t my forte anyway. Using some crunchy pastry shells (bought from Goa on a recent trip), and some butterscotch ice cream, here’s what was served. Quite presentable, though ...

Harissa Twist
2007-11-01 05:05:00 Tragedy has struck. I’ve been asked, no - ordered, by my doctor to cease and desist from consuming any spicy or fried food. Looks like its cottage cheese cubes and celery for me from now… or thats what he thinks. <grin> Here’s a defiant recipe. 3 cups dried red chillies 1 cup whole garlic pods, peeled 1 cup ...

Flavor your Cheese
2007-10-30 05:46:00 Ok, so you’ve made your ricotta or cottage cheese. At times, say when serving as a light snack [diced], it would be nice to flavor it, right? Thats what I thought and tried this out. You’ll need to look up the previous recipe post on making Ricotta at home if you want the same look ... More About: Snacks , Cheese , Flavor

Stuffed Potato Rings
2007-10-29 18:37:00 Ok, so I love potatoes. Who doesn’t? You can stuff pies, bread, paranthas [a kind of indian roti bread], mash it, fry, boil it, steam it and oh, you can even eat it. This one builds on a previously published recipe - Stuffed Potato es. If you haven’t seen it, do take a quick look first. I used ... More About: Dinner , Lunch , Rings , French food

Homemade Ricotta Cheese
2007-10-28 17:21:00 Today, I wanted to try making some flavored cottage cheese, and ended up making some lovely Rico tta cheese.

Review: The Host
2007-10-27 20:04:00 An extended coffee in Connought Place, New Delhi led to dinner today - Saturday night. All decent places seemed full, so we decided to try ‘The Host ’. The experience started well, with a decadent, but pleasant enough ambiance and a polite waiter. It went well when we received our beer, which was just right [temperature]. Alas, ...

Wheat Porridge - Indian Style
2007-10-25 17:55:00 I came across an interesting site today. According to its sources, lemons contain more sugar than strawberries and in France people eat more than 500,000,000 snails a year. Interesting huh? Indu cooked breakfast today. She used wheat porridge seasoned with typical Indian spices. I’m sure it must be pretty common in many north Indian homes ...

Makki Ki Puri (Deep Fried Corn Fritters with Greens and Vegetables)
2007-10-20 06:37:00 My mother in law spent the week end with us. Ignoring the traditionally spouted disadvantages of having MIL in the house, the most obvious advantage is her cooking. Good, old fashioned, hearty Punjabi / North Indian food at its best. She took on the job of making breakfast and she made what she calls ‘Makki ...

Macaroni in Garlic and Coriander Sauce
2007-10-19 21:07:00 Found some great furniture today - burma teak hand polished to a glossy black shade, yet showing the grain. Instantly fell in love with the stuff. Winced at the cost, gritted my teeth and ordered the lot. I’ll probably live to regret it, but the nice part is that the furniture will probably outlive me. Came ...

Olive Oil with Bread
2007-10-14 20:47:00 We had Id lunch at Naheeds place… and what a lunch it was. I don’t think I have ever eaten better mutton curry (called Nihari, traditionally made with beef, made here with succulent cuts of tender lamb, the many spices tempered with yoghurt) or kebab (Pasanda kebab, with the flavor of woodsmoke still in it). ...

Fish with Garlic and Spring Onions
2007-10-13 13:14:00 Just saw Ram Gopal Varma Ki Aag. Amazingly pathetic. Dialogue delivery sucked. Song sequences were too pseudo new age. Sets and ambience were make-believe. Songs themselves, including the mehbooba remix failed to inspire. The only people who *looked* good were Ajay Devgan, Jr Bacchan and Ms. Matondkar. Big disappointment. Just goes to show, a mega ...
