Raw banana / Vazhakkai is our family favorite vegetable. So I keep trying varieties of curry/fry recipes with it.

Kashmiri Rajma Gravy – Red Kidney Beans Gravy Without Onion, Garlic For Rice,Chapathi

 

Recently I bought a pack of Rajma ( Red kidney beans in English,Karamani or Karamani Payir in Tamil , Rajma in Punjabi,Hindi , Capparadavare in Kannada, Chikkuduginjalu / Nallachikkudu in Telugu ) to try some gravy/masala for rice. I have heard a lot about Rajma Chawal, a popular North Indian Dish. So I wanted to try that but then I found the pack had Kashmiri Rajma which was smaller in size than the usual rajma. So I browsed for some Kashmiri rajma masala gravy that can pair with rice and chapathi as well. I found one in Divine taste using freshly ground garam masala powder. It is a no onion no garlic Jain recipe too. I became double happy and tried it for our lunch with slight modifications in the original recipe. It came out very well. We had the same for our dinner as a side dish for Chapathi/Roti. It tasted yum and we were happy to have a healthy, protein rich gravy for our lunch & dinner. Ok lets see how to make Kashmiri Rajma masala for rice and chapathi.

Cold Coffee Recipe – How To Make Cold Coffee Without Icecream

Basically I love to experiment different types of coffee at home. Long back I had tried and shared homemade Espresso coffee without machine. After that I tried to make Cappuccino at home but it was not upto the mark. My recent crush is to try Cold Coffee at home. I have not tasted cold coffee in Cafe Coffee Day(CCD). But I have heard a lot from my friends. So I got tempted to give a try on my own & thought Valentine’s day would be a good choice because Sendhil likes to have cold coffee more than our South Indian filter coffee. 

This morning I made it for the first time following this recipe. I have never thought its so easy to make at home. Its just a mix and blend of instant coffee powder,cocoa powder, milk and ice cubes. With a mild bitterness, it was awesome. Being a coffee lover,i enjoyed every sip thoroughly. I tried to decorate the glass with hershey choco syrup. But it wasn't perfect :( Cold coffee can be made with & without ice cream. Today I made it without icecream and used Bru instant coffee powder. But I read using Nescafe and ice cream makes it tastier, creamy and rich like Cafe Coffee Day. 

So try to use them if you have in hand. Soon I must try Frappe, mocha and other variants of coffee. Ok, now lets see how to make cold coffee recipe at home. Try it for your loved ones on this Valentine’s day. Enjoy one coffee with two straw.

Cold coffee recipe without ice cream

How to make cold coffee without ice cream at home

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Beverages

Serves: 2

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 5 Minutes

Total time: 10 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 250ml Instant coffee powder - 2 tbsp ( I used Bru, Nescafe would be better) Unsweetened cocoa powder - 1/2 tbsp Water – 3 tbsp Sugar - 3-4 tbsp Boiled milk - 2 cups ( use full fat milk for best taste) Ice cream - 1 scoop ( optional, Vanilla or chocolate) Ice cubes - few ( I used 3 nos)

HOW TO MAKE COLD COFFEE WITHOUT ICE CREAM - METHOD

Heat 3 tbsp of water in a pan and mix coffee powder, cocoa powder along with sugar. Boil the mixture in slow flame till sugar dissolves completely. Keep stirring. Mixture will becomes a thick solution. Switch off the flame and let it cool. Take a big mixie jar and add 2 cups of milk ( Preferrably boiled milk at room temperature or chilled), 3 tbsp of coffee solution, ice cubes and blend well for few seconds till the coffee becomes frothy. ( Store the remaining coffee solution in a refrigerator and use it the next day itself). Check for taste and add more coffee solution, sugar as per your taste. Transfer it to a glass along with froth and serve it with a scoop of icecream on top. If you are not using ice cream, just decorate it with a sprinkle of coffee powder or cocoa powder. You can also add colorful sprinklers or even choco chips. Enjoy !

Note

Adjust the quantity of sugar as per your taste. Add more cocoa powder if you like chocolate flavor in your coffee. Full fat milk gives more creamy,frothy coffee. But I used low fat milk here. Store the remaining coffee solution in refrigerator and use it the next day. Do not keep it for long.

Enjoy this cold coffee with your loved ones and have a lovely day !

Fresh Fruit Cream Recipe – Dessert Ideas For Party

Fresh fruit cream is an easy and yummy Indian dessert recipe that can be prepared for potluck and birthday party. Last Saturday I watched Chef Venkatesh Bhat’s sweet special episode in Samayal Samyal Programme,Vijay TV. Among the recipes he showed, this fresh fruit cream dessert attracted me very much.The recipe was so easy & simple. It looked so rich, creamy, colorful and appealing to eyes.I thought it would be the best recipe for Valentine’s day celebration and tried it for our Sunday lunch along with  Veg biryani. 

When I browsed for more details, I found most of the recipes call for Whipping cream and condensed milk. But whipping cream is not widely available in India. So I tried it with Amul fresh cream instead of whipped cream. Its result din’t disappoint me. It came out really fantastic & lip smacking. We loved it very much. Usually I make fruit custard using vanilla custard powder for my guests and birthday parties. After tasting this fruit cream dessert, I felt this would be even more special to try for guests and party celebrations. 

Friends, if you are looking for an yummy dessert recipe to impress your husband on this Valentine’s day, Do try it. I am sure your will be showered with praises. But one thing I should warn you here, this is a high calories dessert. So work out more :) Ok, Lets see how to make fruit cream at home with simple steps.

Fruit cream recipe

Fruit cream recipe using Amul fresh cream,fruits and nuts

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Dessert

Serves: Serves 2-3

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 20 Minutes

Total time: 30 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Amul fresh cream - 200 ml  ( U can use whipping cream too) Fruits - 1/2 cup ( I used 1/2 apple, 4 strawberries, some tutti frutti) Nuts - 2 tbsp of chopped cashewnuts Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Powdered sugar or icing sugar – 1/3 cup ( add 1/4 cup and increase based on ur taste)

HOW TO MAKE FRESH FRUIT CREAM - METHOD

Take the Amul fresh cream from the refrigerator. DO NOT SHAKE IT. Take the thick cream in a wide bowl leaving the water content. Make sure there is no water in the cream because thin cream may take more time to become thick and stiff. Now take an electric beater and beat the thick cream in low speed for 1 minute. Now increase the speed and beat it until the cream becomes stiff and forms a soft peak. It takes 5 to 7 minutes approx ( Electric beater can do a better job than hand whisk. You can try in mixie but i am not sure how it turns out) Add 1/4 cup of powdered sugar or icing sugar, vanilla essence. Beat it again till sugar mixes well with the cream. Check for sweetness and add more sugar if needed. Keep the beaten cream in the freezer for 10 minutes. In the mean time,chop the fruits and nuts. Add it to the frozen cream and mix well. Serve immediately ! Enjoy ! This recipe stays good for 2 days when refrigerated. So you can make it for parties well in advance. Fruits releases water. So mix well before use.

Note

You can use fruits like Pomegranate, chopped Kiwi and even banana if you like. You can also add saffron threads. Use whipping cream instead of fresh cream if you have in hand. This recipe stays good for 2 days when refrigerated. So you can make it for parties well in advance .

Try this easy, quick and rich dessert recipe for parties and other special occasions. Enjoy !!

Bengali Lunch Menu Recipe – Vegetarian Thali List

Its been a year since I shared a North Indian lunch menu here. After I had tried & posted my Punjabi & Gujarati Lunch Thali, I was looking forward to try Rajasthani and Bengali Lunch platters. Based on the suggestions I received from Facebook’s Chef at large group ( one of my favorite groups in facebook ) foodies, I tried this menu list for a Sunday lunch.Thanks everyone for flooding your ideas. Most of them are everyday Bengali recipes. Being a vegetarian, I tried some typical, authentic recipes to make an yummy lunch menu.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe – Valentine’s Day Recipes

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. Many of you might have started thinking about gifting ideas and to make some special recipes on Valentine’s day. Before 10 years,when our marriage date was fixed, 2005 Valentine’s day was very special to us. He gifted me ruby stone gold stud with a chocolate box and I gave him a T Shirt. From then, every year on Valentines day, he gives me some special gifts like Camera, mobile phones, dress, jewelleries, handbags etc whereas me as a wife shower all my love by making some interesting, new dishes for him as he loves to eat varieties of food. 

This year, when I was thinking about Valentines day recipes, my friend Shalini told me about this Chocolate covered strawberries ( Strawberries dipped in chocolate sauce). I browsed for this yummy dessert recipe & found it is a traditional gift for Valentine's Day in the United States. I became double happy & tried it this morning to start off Valentines day special recipes in my blog.

For this recipe,i referred few youtube videos for tips and tricks. I won’t say I made it perfect but still as a first timer,Iam happy with the outcome.Here i have showed you how to melt chocolate using microwave but i’ve discussed the other methods of melting as well. I used dark sweetened compound chocolate for melting.You can use white compund chocolate too. Even though the preparation is easy,there are few points you should keep in mind. 

Please refer “Notes” section for tips before you start. For variations,you can make homemade chocolate covered banana and other fruits like blueberries, prune, chocolate covered almond and even chocolate covered oreos. I decorated them with sprinklers,rice crisps. Run your imagination and play with it. Lets see how to make chocolate covered strawberries at home easily. 

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Recipe

How to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries at home using microwave 

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Sweet

Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 Minutes

Cook time: 5 Minutes

Total time: 15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Compound Chocolate - 100 gms ( I used Vanleer brand, sweetened) Fresh Strawberries - 10 nos Sprinklers,rice crisps - for decoration **Please refer”Notes”section before you start..

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES - METHOD

Wash & pat dry the strawberries completely. Make sure strawberries are completely dry because chocolate will not be coated over wet strawberries. Break the compund chocolate into small pieces. Take them in a clean, dry, microwave safe bowl ( make sure there is not even a single droplet of water). Heat in medium power ( I kept 450W) for 30 seconds. Remove the bowl and stir it with a clean, dry spoon. Again microwave in medium power for 1 minute. Remove and stir well. Repeat this process until the chocolate is melted. No issues if there are minute pieces of chocolate. It will melt in the residual heat. Remove the bowl and keep mixing to melt completely. It took approximately 2.5 minutes to melt in my microwave. But this time may vary. So keep an eye. Over doing may stiffen the chocolate.Take care !! Now take the dry strawberries and insert a toothpick in the head part. Hold the toothpick and dip 3/4th or whole strawberry ( as per your wish) in the melted chocolate. Swipe it in the rim of bowl or pat it to remove the excess chocolate. Arrange the strawberries on a plate. Do this process quickly before the chocolate hardens. Suppose if the chocolate is hardened before you finish the work, microwave them in medium power for 30 seconds to melt them. If you are not able to bring the correct consistency for chocolate, add 1 tbsp of odourless cooking oil  for 100gms of chocolate and then melt in microwave. Chocolate will melt properly. Serve after few minutes once the chocolate sets.Enjoy ! Other methods of melting chocolate Direct heat: This method is easy and convenient. Place the chocolate in a heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly till the chocolate begins to melt. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and stir the chocolate until it is smooth. Be careful while using this method because there are many chances for the chocolate to scorch. To avoid this,do the process in very low flame with constant stirring. Double boiler: This method takes a little longer than the direct-heat method but eliminates the possibility of scorching the chocolate. Place water in the bottom of the bowl  and chocolate pieces in another bowl that fits the water bowl.The top of the water should be 1/2 inch below the upper pan. Then place the double boiler over low heat. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is melted. The water in the bottom of the double boiler should not come to boiling while the chocolate is melting.Stir chocolate occasionally as it softens. When you have just a few small unmelted chunks, remove bowl from heat (residual heat will melt the rest).

Note

Points you should keep in mind 1. There should be no water in strawberries or chocolate. So pat the strawberries and dry them completely before you dip them in the chocolate. Make sure all equipment is completely dry. Any moisture on the utensils or in the container may cause the chocolate to seize/stiffen. If this happens, stir in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon shorteningor odourless cooking oil (not butter) for every 30 gms of chocolate. Be careful to keep water from splashing into the chocolate. A single drop will cause the chocolate to seize. Keep heat low to avoid scorching if using double boiler method. Always stir chocolate during melting. 2.Melt the chocolate very carefully. Be patient and stir the chocolate every 30 seconds for best results. If the chocolate becomes rock hard before completing the dipping process,add a tbsp of cooking oil  for 100gms of chocolate and melt to bring it to the right consistency.

Enjoy this easy, yummy deseert for your special day ! Have a fun filled celebration !!

Puffed Rice Dosa – Pori Dosa - Soft, Sponge Dosa Recipe Without Urad dal

I must thank my reader Suchi Vasan for sharing this super soft, spongy puffed rice dosa recipe ( Arisi pori dosai). When she told me about the ingredients of this dosa, I just couldn’t believe it. Its just a two ingredient recipe and that too a dosa without urad dal. Puffed rice ( Arisi pori in Tamil, Mandakki in Kannada, Murmura/bhel in Hindi, Borugula in Telugu) is the star ingredient for this recipe. As I haven’t tried any puffed rice recipes other than Kara pori, I got tempted to try this dosa & tried it on the same day. This dosa is not an instant version.Its batter needs to be fermented really well to enjoy its best taste. As Suchi said dosas came out very well, ultra soft and spongy with lots of holes in it. I usually make sponge dosa adding poha/aval & methi seeds. But this recipe does magic just with the puffed rice. You can grind the batter easily in a mixie.With garlic chutney as side dish, it tasted great!! Now lets see how to make this soft, sponge dosa using puffed rice/arisi pori.

Check out my other puffed rice recipes below.

Cook time: 3 Minutes

Total time: 20H3Minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 cup = 200 ml Puffed rice - 2 cups Raw rice - 1 cup ( Use good quality sona masoori rice) Salt & water - as needed

Wash the rice and soak in a bowl.Wash the puffed rice and soak in another bowl.(You can soak both together too).Let the rice soak for 2 hours. After 2 hours,take the soaked puffed rice,squeeze it well and take in a big mixie jar.Grind it to a smooth paste adding less water.No need to remove the batter.Now drain the soaked rice and add to the same mixie jar. Grind to a smooth paste adding required water and salt. Transfer the batter to a vessel and mix with your hands to aid fermentation.Allow the batter to ferment for minimum 15 hours and maximum a day.The next morning batter would be raised slightly.Mix the batter well.Proper fermentation of  batter is very important for this dosa. Heat a dosa pan and pour a ladleful of batter. Do not spread the dosa.It will spread automatically.Make it like thick uthappam.Drizzle a tsp of oil around the dosa and cover the dosa with a lid.Let it cook in medium flame for 2 minutes.Open the lid and remove the dosa.You will see the dosa with full of holes and it looks spongy.Serve hot with chutney.I made this spicy Garlic chutney as suggested by Suchi.Serve & eat hot to know its best taste !!

Note

You should use good quality raw rice for making this dosa Batter should be fermented well.So see to it. You can either cover n cook the dosa without flipping OR cook like utappam by flipping it. You can also soak and grind 2 tbsp urad dal along with rice for variations.
