Easy Garlic Spaghetti Recipe – Indian Vegetarian Spaghetti Recipes

Spaghetti recipe Indian vegetarian
Food blogging has made me try and taste varieties of recipes from various cuisines which I have not even imagined in my life. Being a South Indian, my whole food world was just revolving around Idli, dosa, poori and chapathi . But after I became a food blogger, my eating habits and cooking have changed completely. I am really proud and happy to be a passionate food blogger. 

Pasta, Hakka Noodles, Tacos, Spaghetti, Quesadilla, Tortilla – All these terms were very new to me until I saw them in our fellow bloggers blog. I did not even know how to cook them perfectly. Slowly I am learning everything and blogging the same to help beginners like me. I am happy that I am trying out various international recipes in my kitchen. My recent crush was to try spaghetti at home. 


Spaghetti is basically a type of noodles made from durum wheat semolina. Spaghetti is the plural form of the Italian word spaghetto, which is a diminutive of spago, meaning "thin string" or "twine". It is a staple food of traditional Italian cuisine ( Source: Wiki). Cooking spaghetti is not so difficult as I thought. Its procedure is more like cooking noodles. 

As a beginner, I wanted to make an easy and simple Indian style Vegetarian spaghetti recipe. I found this easy stir fried, garlicky spaghetti recipe HERE as I din’t have any vegetables in hand. I made some modifications as per my family’s taste buds and tried it for a Sunday breakfast. It came out really well with an awesome flavor of roasted onion and garlic in olive oil.  

This is just a basic spaghetti recipe. For variations ansd make it more rich, you can add sliced, sauteed vegetables and grated cheese on top before serving. Sendhil & Raksha gave a big thumbs up after eating. We relished it with tomato sauce. Its a quick breakfast recipe for bachelors and working women as there is very less chopping works. Kids would love this for sure. Do try it out for a change and share your feedback here. Lets see how to cook spaghetti and make this Indian style, vegetarian garlic spaghetti recipe with step by step pictures.

Fruit And Yogurt Parfait Recipe – Parfait Recipes

Fruit parfait recipe
Parfait Recipe – When my friend Shalini told me about this recipe,I had no clue of What is parfait,how it is made, how it tastes. Immediately I browsed for the recipe & images.I found in Wikipedia that Parfait is a type of food that is eaten as a dessert or breakfast in United States. It is a French word that means perfect.

In the United States, parfait refers to either the traditional French-style dessert or to a popular variant, the American parfait, made by layering parfait cream, ice cream, and/or flavored gelatins in a tall, clear parfait glass, and topping the creation with whipped cream, fresh or canned fruit. In Canada and the United States, parfaits may also be made by using greek yogurt layered with granola, nuts or fresh fruits, such as peaches, strawberries or blueberries. 

I loved the simplicity of this recipe and tried it for our Sunday breakfast using strawberry flavored yoghurt layered with muesli & fresh fruits. It came out very colorful and we loved its taste too. So I thought of sharing this easy dessert and breakfast recipe for you to try if you are bored with our usual Cereals with milk combo. Its so healthy &a tummy filling recipe. After tasting this strawberry yogurt parfait, I wish to try all the variants of parfait recipe and taste it. Ok, Lets see how to make this easy and healthy fruit yogurt parfait recipe.

Vegans, please replace yogurt with non-dairy yogurt. Actual recipe calls for granola, but I used muesli here. It was super crunchy to taste !

INGREDIENTS

  • Granola Or Muesli - 4 tbsp
  • Flavored yoghurt - 2 cups ( I used DANONE Strawberry yogurt – 80gms)
  • Fresh fruits ( Blueberry , Strawberry,Apple and Cherries) - as needed
HOW TO MAKE FRUIT AND YOGURT PARFAIT - METHOD
  • Refrigerate or freeze the yoghurt for an hour and let it be cold and thick. I bought Danone & Nestle yogurt. But used Danone. Take all the required ingredients and keep it ready.
 

  • In a clear glass/Parfait glass, put 2 tbsp of muesli as the first layer. Then add half of the yogurt from 80gms cup. Again layer it with muesli and then add the remaining yoghurt. Lastly layer it with chopped fresh fruits. Garnish with a fresh mint leaf and serve immediately. Healthy and tasty fruit yogurt parfait is ready. Enjoy ! Doesn't it sound easy ?? ;)
( If you use greek yogurt, you can mix sugar with fresh fruits and then layer it to give a sweet taste. I used sweetened Strawberry flavored yoghurt. So I din’t use any extra sugar. For variations, you can use chopped banana pieces, cranberry, raspberry etc)
If you don't have flavored yogurt in hand, just blend the strawberry adding some sugar, Mix with homemade thick curd & hang it for an hour by tieing them in a cloth or freexe it for an hour to make it thick. Excess water content would be removed. Then you can use this thick curd for making parfait !

  • Mix with a whisk gently.Do not over beat it.The consistency of batter would be thick at the same time it should be pourable as shown in the picture.Adjust the quantity of milk based on the flour u use.But add 1-2 tbsp extra and definitely not more than that.
  • After mixing the batter,rest it for 10 minutes which is very important. The baking powder will react with other ingredients and gives you a fluffy pancake.
Eggless pancakes recipe
  • Heat a dosa pan. I used non-stick pan here.Iron griddle works the best.Make sure the pan is not over heated.To check the right temperature of the pan,just sprinkle few drops of water & if the water sizzles slightly,pan is just right.
    • Never let the pan smoke.Heat of the pan is very very important to get nice colored,uniformly cooked pancakes.If your pan is over heated,u will not be able to make round pancakes.Shape won’t be proper.Also the color of pancakes turn dark brown. 
    • In case if the pan is over heated,switch off the flame for sometime & then make pancakes.It will come out well.Also u should cook the pancakes only in low to medium flame.
  • Grease the pan with butter and simmer the flame completely.Then pour the batter.Spread the batter lightly with a back of ladle but the pancake should be thick enough.So do it carefully.
  • Keep the flame low & cook one side till u see bubbles all over the pancake.Now flip it.U will see the golden colored top.Cook the other side for few seconds and remove in a plate.
  • Serve it with butter & syrup/Honey !

Enjoy !


Note

  • Adjust the quantity of milk based on the atta u use.I used aashirvaad here.
  • You can replace atta with maida/all purpose flour.But i guess u won’t do,hehe..
  • Do not use baking powder more than the mentioned quantity.If u use more baking powder,pancake may taste bitter.
  • Do not get confused with baking powder & baking soda.Use only baking powder.
  • If u have frozen butter,first melt it in a pan and then add to the batter.
  • Do not make the batter thin or spread it well.Pancakes are supposed to be thick.So spread the batter lightly and cook in low flame for best results.
  • Adding cinnamon powder & vanilla essence is for flavor.So don’t avoid it.Add more sugar for sweet tasting pancakes.

Veg Burger Recipe | Mc Donald’s Style Veggie Burger Patty Recipe

Veg burger recipe

Don’t you get tempted to try if you come across a recipe titled “Mc Donald’s style Veg Burger Recipe” ??. I know many of your answers would be YES!. Yeah, I too tried Veg burger for the first time in my kitchen after getting very much tempted by watching this video. In that video, he had shared the recipe of Mc Donald’s style McVeggie burger patty recipe with easily available ingredients in all our pantries and moreover it was Eggless! I just made few changes in the ingredients & method as per my convenience.

I replaced corn meal with powdered corn flakes just like my KFC style Veg Strips and I used crushed garlic instead of garlic powder. The result was awesome!! The Patty was super crispy outside and soft inside. I also tried grilling in my convection oven instead of deep frying and it came out pretty well. You can also opt for shallow frying if you are calorie conscious.What ever be the method of cooking, patties taste great.

This recipe is really a keeper and I am planning to make it for my daughter’s birthday party too. Sendhil loved it a lot and I guess he won’t take me to Mc Donald’s anymore as I started making it at home regularly. Soon I will try to share my daughter’s most favourite KFC Potato krisper/Aloo burger recipe which would be more of our Indian style. 

Friends, do try this easy burger recipe using store bought burger buns and mayonnaise & let me know how it turned out for you. Procedure may seem a bit lengthy as I made bread crumbs and corn meal on my own. If you have them readymade in hand, making this burger would be really easy !!

  • In a kadai, heat oil and saute onions, crushed garlic cloves till onion turns transparent. Now add the carrot and saute till its soft. Add some salt to quicken the cooking process. Lastly add the mashed potato and cooked peas. Add little water & let the carrot cook for some time. After carrots are cooked & water is absorbed, add the spice powder mix. Adjust salt. Mix well & Mash it with the back of ladle. 
  • Finally add the soaked & squeezed poha and maida. Mix well. Poha & maida acts as a binding agent here. So mash it really well and make the entire mixture to a thick dough. Switch off the flame & let it cool.
Veg burger recipe-4
Veg burger recipe-5
  • After the mixture is cooled down, wrap it in a polythene sheet like a cylinder as shown in the picture. Cover the edges using a rubber band. Refrigerate it for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
    • After 30 minutes, remove the patty dough and roll it tightly. Cut it into roundels. Refer picture below. The size of the patty should be the size of burger. Roll the patty on the kitchen counter or a plate to bring uniform thickness and to make a perfect round.
Veg burger recipe-6
  • In the mean time, prepare the batter & bread crumbs. To prepare bread crumbs, remove the corners i.e brown part of the bread and powder it in a mixie. Set aside in  a plate. Homemade instant bread crumbs is ready. For the batter, mix all the ingredients given under “ for batter” and add little water to make a thick dosa batter consistency. Keep it ready.

  • Now heat oil to deep fry and check the temperature by dropping a pinch of batter. If it comes up, simmer the flame completely and drop the patty. If the heat of the oil is high, patty will burn. So take care. Cook only in low flame till they turn golden brown in both the sides. Flip it whenever needed. Deep fry, remove & drain in a tissue. Repeat the same procedure and keep all the patties ready.

Veg burger recipe-12
Serve immediately with ketchup !! Enjoy it to the core !!



Note


  • Use fresh burger buns for best taste.
  • As per the actual recipe,u have to refrigerate the boiled potatoes for 6 hours. But I skipped that step.
  • I have used corn flakes powder instead of corn meal here. U can add corn meal if u have in hand.
  • I coated the patty twice in the batter & bread crumbs to make a crispy exterior. But make sure oil is in right temperature else patty will get burnt.
  • You can make the patties instantly instead of refrigerating it for 30 minutes. In that case,take a ball of dough and pat it to bring the shape and proceed as given above.
  • If you are planning to make this for parties, you can make the dough very well in advance and refrigerate it by tightly wrapping in sheet & keep it covered. This dough stays good for 2 days in refrigerator if  properly stored.
