Coconut ice cream

Equal amount of condensed milk, evaporated milk and coconut milk with a pinch of ground nutmeg is mixed together to make this delectable coconut ice cream. This is an old reliable recipe which needs 5 minutes to make + time to freeze.

Simply Palak

Image
Mummy thought about feeding us good food that was packed with good nutrition. One time when I was little anemic, she advised me to add more palak (spinach) in my diet. 'Adding other ingredients like paneer or potatoes (as in usual spinach dishes like palak paneer and spinach with potatoes) will prevent you from eating lot of spinach' she insisted. She gave me this spinach recipe with just 3 ingredients (not counting salt and oil) that allowed me to add more spinach to my diet and hence add more iron. I did not think much of the recipe when she described it to me but once I started to make it, I got hooked. I usually ate this with roti or paratha and plain yogurt. This recipe has also become a staple for me every time I have worried about my iron intake like during my pregnancies. Ingredients 1 tbsp oil or ghee 4 cloves of garlic crushed 1 lb spinach 2-3 red chillies broken in pieces or hot green chillies sliced salt Method 1. Wash the spinach and cut it in small pieces 2.

Baigun Bharta - smoked spicy eggplant

Image
Roasted eggplants & preparation Baigun bharta is my 'go to' vegetable dish for all sorts of occasions. It is a great accompaniment in any Indian meal and can also be served as a dip/topping with crackers, bread. I prepare it for parties, picnics, potlucks and camping trips. Here I am preparing it as part of a vegetarian dinner meal I offered as an auction item to support my neighborhood school.  Eggplant is first roasted, usually directly on top of the gas flame, and then cooked with garlic, onion, ginger, tomatoes and spices. Since I don't have gas stove at home, i end up roasting the eggplant in the oven. Overall flavors are not as smoky but still very good. Eggplant pulp and juices after removing the skin Final dish prepared and ready to go in a takeout container Recipe Heat the oven in broil position. Cut couple of 1 to 2 inch slits in the eggplants and broil till skin burns on all sides. This usually takes...

Spring cleaning of my pantry & refrigerator

Image
My pantry is usually very well stocked with different types of grains, flours, beans, legumes, nuts, spices, noodles, pastas, sauces, oils etc. I keep a running shopping list on my phone for items that run out or running low as a reminder to buy it when I am at the store next time. I don't like to waste food so I am on the lookout for things that might go stale or bad. But periodically or sometimes a month or two before a long vacation, I go through a more formal cleaning approach where I stop buying ingredients for stocking and start planning meals with the intention of clearing out ingredients in my pantry and freezer. Since ingredients that linger longer in the pantry are typically the ones I don't use a lot of to start with, it takes some effort to plan meals around it. For this spring cleaning, I have moved all items that need to be consumed completely to an eye level shelf in the pantry. Having these items in front of me will serve as a reminder and my goal i...
