Easy Garlic Spaghetti Recipe – Indian Vegetarian Spaghetti Recipes

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.

Easy, garlicky Indian Veg spaghetti recipe

Cuisine: Indian

Category: Pasta recipes

Serves: 2

Prep time: 15 Minutes

Cook time: 10 Minutes

Total time: 25 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Spaghetti - 200gms  Water - 10 cups Big onion - 2 nos ( sliced thinly) Olive oil or cooking oil - 2 tbsp Spring onion - 2 sprig ( finely chopped) Red chilli flakes - 1.5 tsp Pepper powder - 1 tsp Soy sauce - 1/4 tsp ( optional) Garlic - 10 cloves (finely chopped & crushed) Salt - as needed

METHOD

In a wide bowl, boil 10 cups of water adding some salt and few drops of oil. Put the spaghetti as such (Do not break it) and let it cook in high flame for 15 minutes. Initially, spaghetti won’t be completely immersed.  As It starts to cook, It will get immerse into the water completely and becomes soft like noodles. You can even cover and cook the spaghetti for sometime but water may spill while cooking. So stay nearby and adjust the flame whenever needed. Spaghetti takes more time to cook than our regular noodles.So take care while cooking. Take out one string of spaghetti and check if it breaks and soft to touch. If so, switch off the flame and transfer the cooked spaghetti to a colander(steel sieve) Drain the excess water completely and leave it aside. Chop the onion thinly into slices. Finely chop the garlic cloves and crush it slightly using a mortar & pestle. Chop the spring onions finely. Heat olive oil in a kadai. Saute the crushed garlic cloves for few seconds. Add sliced onions and salt. Saute till onion turns transparent. Now add the red chilli flakes. Mix it well. Lastly add the cooked spaghetti, pepper powder and soy sauce if adding. Mix well using a fork. Toss it well. Make sure spaghetti doesn’t break. Check for taste and add more pepper powder & salt. Garnish with finely chopped spring onions. Serve hot immediately. Enjoy with tomato ketchup or sauce ! You can add some grated cheese on top before serving kids. Enjoy !

Note

Adjust the quantity of chilli flakes and pepper powder as per your taste. If you like tomato flavor in spaghetti, you can add a tbsp of tomato sauce while mixing. For variations, you can try adding thinly sliced capsicum, carrot, mushroom and potato while sauting onions. You can add some grated cheese on top before serving.

Fruit And Yogurt Parfait Recipe – Parfait Recipes

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 !

Serves:  2

Prep time: 5 Minutes

Cook time: 5 Minutes

Total time: 10 Minutes

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 !

Enjoy this quick and easy International breakfast at home !

Eggless Pancakes Recipe With Wheat Flour

Its been years since i shared an international recipe in my blog.I badly wanted to post a recipe this week.After searching so many recipes,i settled down with this eggless pancakes.I have never thought making pancakes at home is so easy and simple.As i have not tasted pancakes so far,i din’t have any idea about its softness & texture.My friends in abroad had told me,its like our South Indian thick dosa/Uttapam.But after i made this eggless pancakes on my own following this recipe,i was amazed to see my golden,fluffy & soft pancakes.I was very happy and proud that i made a popular(American) international breakfast recipe at home perfectly and that too in my first attempt.Basically pancakes are done using plain flour/Maida.Here i have used our regular chapathi atta/wheat flour and made small changes in the actual recipe to suit our taste.And I am completely happy with the results.Actually I halved the original recipe & tried it.So this quantity serves only one person.Just follow this recipe & once u get it right,u can double the same.
Friends,do try this not so sweet,soft,fluffy n healthy eggless pancakes recipe with wheat flour for your breakfast.Enjoy topping it with any pancake syrup like maple syrup,caramel sauce,honey or just choco chips.Tastes yummmm..!! Very soon i will share my favourite savoury pancakes recipe.

Eggless wheat flour pancakes recipe

Eggless pancake recipe using wheat flour - Easy,simply,fluffy and soft !

Cuisine: International

Category: Breakfast

Yields: 3 nos

Prep time: 12 Minutes

Cook time: 3 Minutes

Total time: 15 Minutes

INGREDIENTS

Wheat flour/Atta - 1/2 cup ( I used aashirvaad) Baking powder -1 tsp ( use fresh powders for best result) Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp Salt - a pinch Sugar - 1/2 tbsp Water - 1 tbsp Milk - 1/2 cup ( boiled, at room temp) Cooking oil - 1/2 tbsp ( use odourless oil) Melted Butter - 1 tbsp Vanilla essence - 1/2 tsp

METHOD

Take a bowl and mix all the dry ingredients( wheat flour,cinnamon powder,baking powder,salt & sugar)Now add the wet ingredients namely oil,water,melted butter,vanilla essence and milk. 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. 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.

Try this American breakfast at home.Kids would love it !
