craving to create some Indian fusion dessert. Not the traditional desserts like<a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2017/10/chawal-ki-kheer.html" target="_blank">rice kheer</a>,<a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2015/03/low-fat-gajar-ka-halwa-no.html" target="_blank"> gajar halwa </a>or <a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2014/10/royal-gulab-jamuns-and-diwali-wishes.html" target="_blank">gulab jamun</a> but something new and exciting-
combination of Indian flavours with the hint of western taste. Soon after I
received dark chocolate range from Islands my thinking process became busier
because I knew I wanted to create an Indian inspired sweet from Islands
Chocolate. But to that we will get later, let me first introduce you to this
brand called Islands.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><a href="https://islandschocolate.com/" target="_blank">Islands</a></b> are on a mission to change people's understanding
of chocolate, championing a much more sustainable, long-term, 'seed-to-bar'
movement. Because although 'bean-to-bar' used to be enough (importing cocoa
beans and turning them into chocolate in the west), it was never transparent
enough for Wilf Marriott (the founder). After a lot of research and hard work,
Islands was born giving us much more than just a chocolate. They are offering a
completely different package; a better one- more complex flavours and greater
range of products. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX665Ekud_FXjG2T70dgIlcilTgJ2hl9HqdLZi5uhgtca3ueBzZ7-30fFVgnDWBOtjcHBM6dmWSWcDq-cOhfJhnw9HdT0ru_3UU8OjM7SgpvBIH_a4NviOSwARDqhdoYE6gV6YtGAtRIM/s800/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="763" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX665Ekud_FXjG2T70dgIlcilTgJ2hl9HqdLZi5uhgtca3ueBzZ7-30fFVgnDWBOtjcHBM6dmWSWcDq-cOhfJhnw9HdT0ru_3UU8OjM7SgpvBIH_a4NviOSwARDqhdoYE6gV6YtGAtRIM/s16000/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25285%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Islands have all my heart in terms of sustainability.
From the packaging, to inner wrapper everything is biodegradable and that is
such a huge factor to choose Islands as my favourite chocolatier. They promote
good farming practices that are profitable, environmentally sound and good for
communities. Unlike most, they know for a fact that their cocoa is sustainably
and ethically produced - because they grow it themselves!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And if you see the names of the chocolate bars, it is all
so creative and innovative too. But hey, that’s not enough, on the packaging
they have a barcode which if you scan on spoitfy you can listen to the music
related to that particular chocolate-interesting isn’t it? So, now you
understand why the names are related to music such as Smooth Operator, Midnight
Mover, Disco Dancer and Rhythm Of The Night. I am blown away with their
imagination and inspirational qualities in terms on design, environment friendliness
and taste. Didn’t I tell you- It’s not just a chocolate. The whole experience
is fun!!!</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-KMz9899rjn9ou5hN0Kia1zsRQrRFs13hRQ3UCJAk1ANKYtOV-djuN2QgMDeNi9c3Q-icicfbR72EYV2p-cXI2JGyD0dv4ZengXwOVHFEsq-9aXHGxK7YdevMCLHwWmsAEsKAh8gRSno/s1199/islands+chocolate+review.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1199" data-original-width="700" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-KMz9899rjn9ou5hN0Kia1zsRQrRFs13hRQ3UCJAk1ANKYtOV-djuN2QgMDeNi9c3Q-icicfbR72EYV2p-cXI2JGyD0dv4ZengXwOVHFEsq-9aXHGxK7YdevMCLHwWmsAEsKAh8gRSno/s16000/islands+chocolate+review.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I tried two of Islands chocolate so far- 55% and 100%
dark chocolate. I wanted to try two very contradictory chocolates, so one is on
the sweeter side while the other one is very extremely dark. As the name
suggest, the 55% Smooth Operator was silky, smooth and has a beautiful milk
dark chocolate shine to it. It melts in your mouth like a dream and leaves your
tongue asking for more.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I am not lying but this was the first time I tried 100%
dark chocolate. I have heard so many reaction stories about it that it is
extremely bitter and you will not be able to tolerate it. To my surprise, I
loved every bit of it. So rich and pure, smooth and loaded with cocoa flavours.
Yes its bitter, but it’s something that you will savour just like an espresso
shot. . I mean that’s what a good unadulterated 100% dark chocolate should
taste like.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi676iy_Ctnx0-SbKm4JQhR5ZNVaEHugQcxrPNV2HVnSI9-WRBlRivEjhZg2rHegpGbNbR8O8NermjJ92YjC8-Fgm06j2o7lpZrrMwFKjkAzwbt4pk38pjCdyD1Fe0gTdSA35oF9YYWO3c/s864/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25287%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi676iy_Ctnx0-SbKm4JQhR5ZNVaEHugQcxrPNV2HVnSI9-WRBlRivEjhZg2rHegpGbNbR8O8NermjJ92YjC8-Fgm06j2o7lpZrrMwFKjkAzwbt4pk38pjCdyD1Fe0gTdSA35oF9YYWO3c/s16000/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25287%2529.jpg" /></a></div><p></p>

chocolates and created this <b>Dates Chocolate Fudge</b>. The sweetness from the dates
balances the bitterness of the chocolate just so right and apt that you are
left with enticing dessert on your table. I let the part of each chocolate to
melt in with the warm dates and then also left some chocolate chunks with other
nuts to provide the missing crunch to otherwise plain fudge.</span><p></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>What is fudge? What is fudge called in Hindi? Is fudge
and chocolate same thing?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Fudge is a type of a sugar candy made by heating sugar,
butter and milk. No, chocolate and fudge is not the same thing. Chocolate is
also a kind of candy but made with cocoa. Fudge is called as barfi or burfi in Hindi in India.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>What does fudge or burfi tastes like? How many kinds of
fudge are there?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Big sugar crystals make the fudge taste and look grainy
just like our Indian dessert Kalakand where as tiny sugar crystals results in creamier
version just like peda. There are tons of flavours available for fudge-
caramel, plain, peanut butter, marshmallow, walnut, maple but chocolate remains
the most popular one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Dates Burfi</b> or <b>Khajur Ki Barfi</b> is so easy to make and you
can try many variations. I wanted to make it into roll shaped, like discs, the
ones we get in Indian mithaiwala (sweet) shops during festive season such as Diwali, Holi, Navratri or Dussehra.</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5eafjpCXf2E5evs7X8u4nqKoyszApH343zJXmTBsHTJ7xC_Aoteg1aicaOoxT5INCm2o7MywKS3fUBZUEKLnhCsBgacnDZDZCq2Wg7nGAR4Cfc9pGDy_yyZdS57I3Vx3UwDIjk2HiEVg/s1200/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5eafjpCXf2E5evs7X8u4nqKoyszApH343zJXmTBsHTJ7xC_Aoteg1aicaOoxT5INCm2o7MywKS3fUBZUEKLnhCsBgacnDZDZCq2Wg7nGAR4Cfc9pGDy_yyZdS57I3Vx3UwDIjk2HiEVg/s16000/khajur+barfi+burfi+kajur+dates+chocolate+fudge+sugar+free+indian+dessert+sweet+dish+diwali+karva+karwa+cauth+chauth+mithai+bina+shakkar+chini+cheeni+ke+k+chocolate+review+recipe+bina+ghee+without+milk+doodh+dry+fruits+nu+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">You can add as many kinds of nuts or seeds in this recipe
such as almonds (badam), cashews (kaju), walnuts (akroth), melon seeds (karbuje
ke beech), sunflower seeds or even sesame seeds (til). This recipe uses very
basic ingredients and I haven’t used any milk powder, condensed milk or sugar.
You can shape it whichever way you like. You can make into ladoo or peda, you
can use a cookie cutter to shape it into heart, diamond or triangle. Or you
serve it as halwa too. So if like me you have dates in your fridge and you are
wondering what to do with it then you have to try this <b>Sugar Free Dates Nutty
Chocolate Fudge Barfi</b>.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ingredients:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 cup dates</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">10 almonds</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">10 cashews</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">1 tablespoon white sesame seeds</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">6 pieces of dark chocolate (I used 100%, you can use 60%
to 80% too)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">6 pieces of milk chocolate (I used 55%)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">5 pistachios</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Method:<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Deseed the dates and chop finely. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Also chop almonds, cashews and pistachios in smaller
chunks.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chop three pieces of each milk chocolate and dark
chocolate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Heat pan on a medium heat and roast sesame seeds for 1
minute till you get the nutty aroma.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Add dates in the same pan and keep stirring it. You will
see that initially it is very difficult to stir dates but as dates starts
releasing moisture it will become easier. Around 1 minute</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Add chopped cashews and almonds and keep stirring. Also
add chocolate pieces that you did not chop and let it melt with the mixture.
Keep stirring for 1 minute till you feel mixture is mixed well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Let the mixture cool down a bit. When you are able to
tolerate the heat on your palms, mix chopped chocolate in it. Chocolate might
start melting but that’s okay, some chunks will remain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Divide the mixture into two parts and shape it into a
log. Roll the logs on the chopped pistachios.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Place the log on an aluminium foil. Wrap it tightly. And

Well, I certainly can and that means I will be looking for comfort in a cup. To
explain more, a hug in a cup means - good chai, good coffee or a good cup of
hot chocolate. And ever since Moma Foods have sent me their Oat Milk tetra
packs for taste, I have been sipping a lot of cups of Indian masala chai,
dalgona coffee and hot cocoa.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have tasted vegan milk range before, such as almond milk,
soya milk, cashew milk but never oats milk. So when I was approached to try
Oats Milk from Moma Food, I was so excited to give it a try. Every time you
google or ask someone –what’s the most healthy breakfast, -the answer is always
oats. Now imagine, even having your first drink of the day like coffee or tea
also made with oats milk-healthy and interesting isn’t it!!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkAk28WeM1IaWvYWDw9ZJ4C_JxZ4qzj6eykacEugP8IjohGV7TxzsNnjT_CM8iyPbnAmUDGPxDK4IT4ax1cuSVk5ZHFrGCS5P32REp_AAR-x0AzhIFmhHCFkKYzMwR-6plY_H-2VTa1pQ/s800/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkAk28WeM1IaWvYWDw9ZJ4C_JxZ4qzj6eykacEugP8IjohGV7TxzsNnjT_CM8iyPbnAmUDGPxDK4IT4ax1cuSVk5ZHFrGCS5P32REp_AAR-x0AzhIFmhHCFkKYzMwR-6plY_H-2VTa1pQ/s16000/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25285%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">At <a href="https://www.momafoods.co.uk/" target="_blank">Moma Foods </a>they milk an oat.

well and with lot of research they produced delicious, nutritious and
incredibly tasty milk from oats. </span><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">They
use wholegrain best quality oats, which are packed with good-for-you fibres
like beta-glucan. Oats milk helps to maintain cholesterol levels for a healthy
heart. Bonus, they then doubled the goodness by adding calcium and vitamins D,
B2 and B12. So this milk is as good as any dairy milk without hurting the
animals. How cool is that.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chai Tea is nothing but Indian Masala Chai. Tea made with
loose tea powder, milk, sugar, water and some spices such as cinnamon, star
anise, cardamom and or ginger.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Is Chai Tea and Chai Latte same?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Yes, I will say so. Chai Latte is just a fancy name used in
cafes. Aparently there is no difference between chai tea and chai latte, just
that chai latte is made using tea bags and is much milder on spices. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjczGlDcthALh4gpwD8bzqt9UkbtaOl1nLnZ3HyvjvrqQEzmrN13sASxvF-WIgYvsSO72erafrHe81YmOblD44EafqPREeKsGIr64qcPZ3PtD9IDX_mB0x2Gz0g6M1I28W7bqMlqrUj8/s1086/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%252811%2529.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="clear: left; float: left; font-family: georgia; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1086" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOjczGlDcthALh4gpwD8bzqt9UkbtaOl1nLnZ3HyvjvrqQEzmrN13sASxvF-WIgYvsSO72erafrHe81YmOblD44EafqPREeKsGIr64qcPZ3PtD9IDX_mB0x2Gz0g6M1I28W7bqMlqrUj8/s16000/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%252811%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What is Chai Latte tastes like?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It is sweet, and has a tint of spicy flavour due to nutmeg,
ginger, cinnamon and cardamom. A lot of versions are available for chai latte
too-such as using vanilla, pumpkin spice, mint and chocolate.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What is Dirty Chai? What is double Dirty Chai? </span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dirty Chai is Chai Latte with a shot of espresso in it. Yes,
combination of chai and coffee (who thought). Double Dirty Chai is double shots
of espresso in masala Chai Latte. To tell you a little secret, no cafes have
dirty chai on their menus, you need to ask for a chai latte with an added shot
of espresso. Starbucks does the best Dirty Chai.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Today’s recipe is about <b>Chocolate Chai Tea. </b>A beautiful
combination of chocolate and chai. If like me you love chocolate and chai both
to the core, this recipe is for you. Its sooooo good-I promise.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjns7hSWIm2EovaXjWjFVjrAi0ZW1_eP2C1o3u0s6L5fx0PBymenQW-kCBhyphenhyphen8ukjr_DmcZRLvAUQpFABhJCcrh0KBYhqxwyYAJfv6DBTcosu3dSTyoRL0o-WLf2fUOnQhFb1IgIX54z04Q/s1200/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjns7hSWIm2EovaXjWjFVjrAi0ZW1_eP2C1o3u0s6L5fx0PBymenQW-kCBhyphenhyphen8ukjr_DmcZRLvAUQpFABhJCcrh0KBYhqxwyYAJfv6DBTcosu3dSTyoRL0o-WLf2fUOnQhFb1IgIX54z04Q/s16000/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25282%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Do Chocolate and Chai go together?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Hell yeah! Sweetness from chai and creaminess of the milk, balances
the bitter strong taste of chocolate very well and it’s nothing but pure
indulgence. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">What chocolate to use in Chocolate Chai Tea?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">It depends on your preference. I used mix of unsweetened cocoa

white chocolate.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP01i6MChGz1btFh3sj3pswH1vm_1U3qtKgzcL3nqM47UH28ry_AZTo4tfkiqE2cISTO91RdFeJQ8hi0lNgR0YleYqyvXNqAo17O6jotY-TV-CMgkwC7L2RA2Spn1iY5fSnfuZM5MLzks/s1200/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP01i6MChGz1btFh3sj3pswH1vm_1U3qtKgzcL3nqM47UH28ry_AZTo4tfkiqE2cISTO91RdFeJQ8hi0lNgR0YleYqyvXNqAo17O6jotY-TV-CMgkwC7L2RA2Spn1iY5fSnfuZM5MLzks/s16000/chocolate+chai+tea+latte+indian+desi+massala+chai+masala+hot+chocolate+dark+milk+mint+starbucks+what+is+chai+latte+chocolate+chai+costa+coffee+cafe+hot+oats+milk+momas+foos+review+%25284%2529.jpg" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: georgia;">Is Chocolate Chai Tea healthy? What are the healthy variations?</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chocolate Chai Tea is not healthy and I would recommend
having it every day. It is a luxury treat; you must have it here and there,
when you need that ‘hug in a cup’. It has sugar, milk, chocolate-all rich in
fat and high calories, so what can be the healthy variations? First of all ditch
full fat dairy milk, opt for healthy alternatives such as skimmed milk, almond
milk, soya milk or oats milk. Try not to lather the chai with heavy whipped
cream or chocolate sauce or chocolate chips. Basically avoid adding more sugary
stuff.</span></p>

sharing with you all. To those of you who follow me on my social media platforms
would know how much I love and savour Pizza. I can eat a pizza almost every day,
yes yes and I am not exaggerating, I promise I can; but then I am reminded of Joey’s
dialogue from the television series Friends- once on lips, forever on
the hips. So if like me you also loooove pizza and there are days when you
crave for it really bad, but want to shut your mouth because of all the
calories-then this recipe is going to solve your problem.</span></p>

on the right page. Now imagine, you have that sudden urge to have a pizza, but
you are not hungry enough to have one whole pizza. Or you don’t want those
frozen pizza from the supermarket or a store bought dominos, pizza hut or papa john
pizza, you want to make your own, but again you don’t have so much time to
knead the dough and work with the yeast-in both the above cases this o<b>ne minute
pizza in a mug in a microwave</b> is your answer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There are tons of recipes on this concept and I tried so
many of them until this one worked really well for me. So this is my tried and
tested recipe after many failures and attempts.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How to make a good Microwavable Pizza in a mug/cup/bowl?
What are tips to make a good pizza in a cup? Here are my tips.</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Measure the ingredients. Do not eyeball the ingredients or
just use as per approximation. Correct measurements are very important.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Use a mug which is broad from the top, you want the
microwave waves to reach up till the bottom, so cup that has a broad opening
from the top, just like a bowl will do the trick.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Do not add too many toppings, just a handful. Remember it is
a very small pizza.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is an eggless recipe, without an egg and this is my
next tip-please do not use egg, it will ruin your pizza.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Do not try to use whole wheat flour, I tried and it failed miserably.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">You can use tomato ketchup or a mix of spicy sauce and
tomato sauce instead of pizza sauce-and it work just fine.</span></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Last but not the least, have it hot, eat it right when it’s
out from the microwave. This is instant pizza recipe so you cannot reheat it –it
will become rubbery, so have it instantly.</span></li></ul><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">If you follow the above tips, I promise you can just not go
wrong with this recipe. So, here is </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">You might need to microwave for 1 minute 10 or 20 seconds.
The timing is based on my 1200W microwave so your timing might vary.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Cooking time might also vary depending on the size of the
mug. The mug I used is around 1 and ¾ cup.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Always keep an eye, just in case you see that it is
overflowing. Pause for 2 seconds and start the microwave timer again.</span></p>Merry Tummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04692591908774768466noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802996344963439637.post-60921524777223215542020-09-15T06:01:00.003-07:002020-09-15T06:01:58.494-07:00Kale Chane Ke Kebab | Veg Shami Kabab | How To Make Melt-In-Mouth Kebab | Healthy-No Fry Method<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSPbt9sIOAxs30nfuBxi-MDCIFE33svsD9WNfN9GPN7DpnSF-TBhoqiy-zZ6-Q9akBOwURb2AEmuN-iJYkiTkFA6zvnTrurwgs1foLupPLCra-LfxE-MotWxI1BkBkhHWdgpzKjv8M7A/s1200/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSPbt9sIOAxs30nfuBxi-MDCIFE33svsD9WNfN9GPN7DpnSF-TBhoqiy-zZ6-Q9akBOwURb2AEmuN-iJYkiTkFA6zvnTrurwgs1foLupPLCra-LfxE-MotWxI1BkBkhHWdgpzKjv8M7A/s16000/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><p>For the days when you don’t want to make rotis and yet want to eat something healthy and fulfilling, Kebab is your answer. Previously, on my blog
I have posted <a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2013/09/lentils-seekh-kebabs.html" target="_blank">Lentil Seekh Kebab (Dal k kabab)</a> and <a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2014/05/mixed-vegetables-kebabs.html" target="_blank">Mixed Vegetable Kebab </a>recipes. Honestly, if not fried kebab can be very healthy and nutritious. Today
we will be talking about <b>Chane Ke Kebab.</b></p></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How many types of channa we have?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">We have four kinds of chana in our legume family.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-kabuli chana (chickpeas) also called as chole or white garbanzo
beans.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Kala Channa (brown/ black chickpeas).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Hare Chana, these are fresh and you don’t need to soak it
overnight and are green in colour.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Chana Dal, basically it is baby chickpeas that has been
split and polished and is a form of a lentil.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And you can make kebab with all the four kinds mentioned
above.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEVk_eXZhg8iu87jJiC0gAgotfxqlfZ2Inh4QQ1WiJmDjvN3FmZkn4rXuRzqlg0jYqR4F0b5wjfKjnohIfeLc8TDOU-LmnJJ2z29VDAMt_FBWJoWZ0OeD34RhRO6UyT5Lpw9LtO2Ez8c/s1200/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbEVk_eXZhg8iu87jJiC0gAgotfxqlfZ2Inh4QQ1WiJmDjvN3FmZkn4rXuRzqlg0jYqR4F0b5wjfKjnohIfeLc8TDOU-LmnJJ2z29VDAMt_FBWJoWZ0OeD34RhRO6UyT5Lpw9LtO2Ez8c/s16000/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Today it’s about </span><b style="font-family: georgia;">Kale Channe Ke Kebab</b><span style="font-family: georgia;"> which is also called
as</span><b style="font-family: georgia;"> Shami Kebab</b><span style="font-family: georgia;">. And this is a vegetarian version of it. You will see tons of
recipes on the internet from all the amazing chefs such as Sanjeev Kapoor, Tarla
Dalal, Hebbars Kicthen and many more. I honestly wanted to make a healthier
version of it-no deep frying and no paneer and potatoes. Just the protein rich
patties which, tastes just like shammi kebab.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Why do Shami Kebab break?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Ideally shami kabab is made with boneless meat and thus it
is easy to bind it. These ones are veg shami kebabs and so it might break
easily. To avoid breaking of kebabs while frying, make sure that kebabs are
binded properly and there is no water in the mixture. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How to make shami kebab thick?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">A lot of time this question is asked and yes it is an
important question, because if the kebabs are not thick enough you will be left
with crispy top and bottom layer which wont taste like kebab at all. Thick kebabs
means crispy layers and melt in the mouth consistency inside the kebab. So, how
to make kebab thick is also by paying attention to the mixture-it should have no water-period!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How is veg shami kebab made? What to use to make good veg
kebab?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">There are so many things that you can use to bind the veg
kebabs. You must use ingredient that helps to absorb water from the chana and
gives you a good texture. I have tried using boiled potato, grated/mashed
paneer, bread, bread crumbs and roasted chana powder/chickpeas flour (besan)
and all of them does the trick. Since I am talking about healthy shami kebab
without frying, I defiantly wanted to make the one without aloo. I used a slice
of a bread and that did the trick and also made the crust crispy.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoInrXyHqPHFciEVIkw2iL2aRkPHZY3qLA9UXgglp7woVkfsWgBoF7mLd-hnqEtWjvHaMHv3-degFQhAop6XSXaOvz2ZhACaELIdBiI-tZdkYQhoWmQSn9aJtuPsDwFF-Oo7hJlaqGkhU/s1017/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah+%25284%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1017" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoInrXyHqPHFciEVIkw2iL2aRkPHZY3qLA9UXgglp7woVkfsWgBoF7mLd-hnqEtWjvHaMHv3-degFQhAop6XSXaOvz2ZhACaELIdBiI-tZdkYQhoWmQSn9aJtuPsDwFF-Oo7hJlaqGkhU/s16000/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dah+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><b style="font-family: georgia;">How to make smooth shami kebab? How to make melt-in-mouth
shami kebab?</b><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Make sure that channa or chickpeas is boiled properly.
Over-boiled chana is easy to mash and will also give you that perfect non-veg kind
of velvety texture. </span><span style="font-family: georgia;">Secondly, remember everything you added in the kebab is already cooked, so all you need is a cooked crispy layers on both the sides so don’t overcook kebabs otherwise you won’t get that velvety taste.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Can you freeze shami kebab?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Yes, you can. These should do well in the freezer for
atleast two months. You can cook the kebab and then freeze it in a air tight
container or Ziploc bag. Defrost it in the fridge for atleast 8 hours and then
heat it again on the pan before serving.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How to make Shami Kebab healthy?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Do not use potato or paneer for binding; instead use roasted
besan or gram flour. You can use bread crumbs or a slice of brown or white
bread too.</span></li><li><span style="font-family: georgia;">Dont fry it. I just used little oil and roasted it on a non
stick tawa. Every ingredient is already cooked, so all you need is crispy coating and that can be done just by roasting the kebab too-why fry it!</span></li></ul><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How do you eat shami kebab? What do you eat shami kebab
with?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This is one amazing party starter or appetiser. It looks
great and your guests feel that you worked very hard on this. You can serve it
as a starter with any chutney or ketchup. Or you can make it into a main meal
item by serving it inside the wraps or pita bread with some salad, mayonnaise
or yogurt.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYni9vtvyi6XJ1pMVfnHhoGlzXSkXmdNPKn5oc-9HJfvs3AIw-9HML4qDubG38eq5dJfR6Ji27486-PLcTXKsnPlC0gmyb6EEh0hw4abekoYScYdzPaz4NnKEFDTjhxAa2rV1JcDJ39NI/s1002/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dahi+%25281%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1002" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYni9vtvyi6XJ1pMVfnHhoGlzXSkXmdNPKn5oc-9HJfvs3AIw-9HML4qDubG38eq5dJfR6Ji27486-PLcTXKsnPlC0gmyb6EEh0hw4abekoYScYdzPaz4NnKEFDTjhxAa2rV1JcDJ39NI/s16000/shami+kebab+kabab+sheekh+stick+starter+indian+party+snack+diwali+vegetarian+chane+ke+chana+dal+daal+lenthil+lentil+shammi+soft+restaurent+style+hotel+jaise+makhmali+velevaty+chickpeas+channa+ke+kababs+chole+mixed+veg+dahi+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;">Lets see how to make Veg Shami Kebab, Kale Chane Ke Kebab.</span><p></p>

tasted a yogurt enriched with kefir and it was a love at first sight for me. Beautifully
fermented and so authentic that my body immediately realised that I ate
something good. What is Kefir, if you ask? Kefir or kephir (ke-FEER),
is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt that is made from kefir
grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. If you want to know
more about the health benefits of kefir I highly recommend you read<a href="https://biotifuldairy.com/health-benefits/" target="_blank"> <b>this.</b></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Now, I am someone who takes probiotics supplements everyday
because my gut health is not that good. So when I was recently asked if I would
like to try products from the company called <a href="https://biotifuldairy.com/" target="_blank"><b>Biotiful Dairy</b></a>, I instantly said
yes and was so excited to give it all a try because their products are loaded
and enhanced with kefir. Their portfolio of products is so interesting and
attractive, from Original Kefir Drink to Kefir Cheeses. From Kefir+Protien deepened
Drinks and Yogurt to Kefir Ice-cream and Kids Friendly Kefir range-they have it
all covered.</span></p><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZP6GE4jgcvoRvsyT5vn0AAKvl5S9ibfFqHdzzvHcFseDAwNqmZqfk1Xuvp-mLF95Mnl2g-vlT1Q18yG4vHVMCCyNogyzaxJEN7plycCIbOL0YcBUahe_1GDeRicnILZfzSNcIwkbHGU/s800/yogurt+trifle+easy+dessert+no+bake+cheese+cake+healthy+in+a+glass+kaise+banaye+dahi+curd+digestive+biscuits+lotus+cream+custard+pudding+gut+probiotic+kefir+%252813%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="548" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZP6GE4jgcvoRvsyT5vn0AAKvl5S9ibfFqHdzzvHcFseDAwNqmZqfk1Xuvp-mLF95Mnl2g-vlT1Q18yG4vHVMCCyNogyzaxJEN7plycCIbOL0YcBUahe_1GDeRicnILZfzSNcIwkbHGU/s16000/yogurt+trifle+easy+dessert+no+bake+cheese+cake+healthy+in+a+glass+kaise+banaye+dahi+curd+digestive+biscuits+lotus+cream+custard+pudding+gut+probiotic+kefir+%252813%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b><a href="https://biotifuldairy.com/products/kefir/" target="_blank">Biotiful Cultured Dairy Milk</a> </b>is a great alternative to those
sugar loaded drinks. On a dull afternoon while we played chess we gulped on
Mango and Strawberry flavoured yogurt drink and were absolutely hooked. Nutritious
Dairy drinks that are light and fruity- smooth, luscious bursting with fresh
flavours.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I also tried my hands on <a href="https://biotifuldairy.com/products/kefir-cheese-original/" target="_blank"><b>Kefir Cheeses</b> </a>and I can bet they
are amazing alternative to cottage cheese, feta cheese or those cheese spread
you get in the market. There are so many ways you can use these cheeses in day
to day recipes such as in sandwiches, omelettes, on your salad, over crackers
with some tomatoes or just have them as a dip with crunchy cucumber and carrot

the gut-friendly benefit of Kefir with the high-protein creaminess of Quark. It
has a pure, natural taste and a delightfully thick and creamy texture. This is
a perfect after meal dessert idea or just to beat your hunger pangs during the
middle of the day. You can add in some chopped fruits or berries or even top up
it with handful nuts to make it even better and scrumptious. One day, when the temperature
went up, I skipped my lunch and had mango and blackcurrant flavoured from this series
and I was completely filled up and sufficed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">To tell you more about Biotiful Dairy; they produce cultured
Kefir Dairy drinks and snacks using British milk and the ancient method of
fermentation. The result? Cultured milk drinks and snacks that are naturally
lower in sugar, full of gut-friendly cultures and high in protein. Almost all

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This layered gorgeous looking dessert gets ready in a jiffy
and there are tons of variations you can do here. I used Lotus Biscoff biscuits
as my first layer but you can use any digestive biscuits, oreos, cream
biscuits, cookies or even granola or crushed cornflakes. For the second layer I
used Biotiful Dairy’s Kefir + Protien Starwberry tub but you can use any
flavoured yogurt, fresh cream or just plain yogurt too. For the final layer I chose
to use melted chocolate, but you can opt for caramel sauce, dark chocolate gauche,
melted white chocolate or even fresh fruits or nuts. There are so many ways you
can mould this recipe as per your choice and preference.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Melt the butter in the microwave for 10 seconds. When done
add in crushed biscuits and mix well. You should have crumbly biscuits.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Take a glass in which you want to serve the trifle and start
layering.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Add in around ¼ cup of crushed biscuits to the bottom of the
glass and press well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Beat the yogurt well so that it becomes creamy. Top the
yogurt on the biscuits layer. Around ½ a cup.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Add on biscuits layer on the yogurt now. Around ¼ cup of it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">And then top it off with the remaining biscuit mix.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Finally add the melted chocolate on the top. Keep it in the
fridge and serve cold.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIAfK483MECdBrvVyBxvuStj0HxcbLV7AdXu60GpZzgd8_Nsqkq77WrqfCDbJ7xYlSWHRRgdt-Vs3_5FVMdjMbKoxat6vHZ9x3VkWs4z7sknYlJbtjgPbhA1TLwU_fcjaWFrObvWjviFg/s1200/yogurt+trifle+easy+dessert+no+bake+cheese+cake+healthy+in+a+glass+kaise+banaye+dahi+curd+digestive+biscuits+lotus+cream+custard+pudding+gut+probiotic+kefir+biotiful+dairy+product+review%252819%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIAfK483MECdBrvVyBxvuStj0HxcbLV7AdXu60GpZzgd8_Nsqkq77WrqfCDbJ7xYlSWHRRgdt-Vs3_5FVMdjMbKoxat6vHZ9x3VkWs4z7sknYlJbtjgPbhA1TLwU_fcjaWFrObvWjviFg/s16000/yogurt+trifle+easy+dessert+no+bake+cheese+cake+healthy+in+a+glass+kaise+banaye+dahi+curd+digestive+biscuits+lotus+cream+custard+pudding+gut+probiotic+kefir+biotiful+dairy+product+review%252819%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Notes: </b><br /></span></p><span style="font-family: georgia;">The amount of ingredients you use is also dependent on the size of the glass you are serving.</span><br /><span style="font-family: georgia;">I like my desserts to be rightly sweet, so if you like extra sweet then you might need to add some honey or sugar in the yogurt.

around which are lives revolved such as shopping, eating out, meeting friends,
going for a movie is all temporary, its only our home and our family that is
our safe place. With all the extra time at home people have been baking,
reading, excising and catching up all the missed shows and movies on Netflix or
Prime. And with all this one habit that has become our partner is ‘snacking’.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">What is snacking? Snacking is eating a small portion of food
or drink or a light meal, especially one eaten between regular meals. I am
a big time snacker. A bowl of popcorn while watching a movie; or some chips
when we have karaoke night; or nibbling on some homemade things in the
evening-I need snacks. All these snacks we eat are not healthy but since it’s
easily available we tend to choose them.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYONDJ0HeloYdmktTs9_5y4y1D-ijhDq4NbZ85QogBs58nMRIr1M4F1FjCuwnpCUl3wfwrQcKeHiNG_qcxLii4D-Y0JJg0v2sVoNyDPvYtabQot1drdb_cZCzWpzE9SmGUUns0CJcwTG4/s1115/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%252810%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1115" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYONDJ0HeloYdmktTs9_5y4y1D-ijhDq4NbZ85QogBs58nMRIr1M4F1FjCuwnpCUl3wfwrQcKeHiNG_qcxLii4D-Y0JJg0v2sVoNyDPvYtabQot1drdb_cZCzWpzE9SmGUUns0CJcwTG4/d/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%252810%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0syitWFYtpgAJVDzVFUTXu9GM78CR4aF3eHADb4Shz9y_OCRH6PTWLN9TXaMDrQheE_I3JsWD8PyaOXK1gVnowir2ikXDAXXERjuervTgfinIARPa_VA4paxp_Qb3Ri7jWMGpL1t7z5w/s1097/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1097" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0syitWFYtpgAJVDzVFUTXu9GM78CR4aF3eHADb4Shz9y_OCRH6PTWLN9TXaMDrQheE_I3JsWD8PyaOXK1gVnowir2ikXDAXXERjuervTgfinIARPa_VA4paxp_Qb3Ri7jWMGpL1t7z5w/d/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>

it has become our most favourite one. Boundless Nuts & Seeds are activated
which means that nuts and seeds are soaked which activates germination. A good
soak also removes the bitter phytic acid and protecting enzymes which enables better
digestion. Then these nuts and seeds are baked with flavours and a lighter
crunch.</span></p>

unhealthy snacking options anymore. I am just hooked. They have four wonderful

of them has different types of seeds and nuts combination and it comes in a
sachet of 30 grams which makes it very handy and ideal for snacking.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span>Rose syrup or </span><span style="background-color: white;">Rooh Afza</span> is widely used in India and that’s

this recipe-whatever fancies your taste buds. If you don’t want to use alcohol
then simply add in some lemon juice and you are good to go.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-dPeze8PcMjFtMvn6sIoeTG9M9KvNJuoI3rxQoHojuR-9cZFxHvlKgUxh3Bn2IOMtJzEk6VimvbfbTYn5m05GTWBqOuzHwoi5HjecOg7DChPCI_OMAZa9fEFqo_XQBKdqDTBaLrmTJ4/s1252/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%25289%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1252" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC-dPeze8PcMjFtMvn6sIoeTG9M9KvNJuoI3rxQoHojuR-9cZFxHvlKgUxh3Bn2IOMtJzEk6VimvbfbTYn5m05GTWBqOuzHwoi5HjecOg7DChPCI_OMAZa9fEFqo_XQBKdqDTBaLrmTJ4/d/Rooh+Afza+roohafza+drink+with+tequila+coctail+mocktail+mohito+mojito+lemon+nimbu+virgin+rose+gulab+vodka+beer+whiskey+brandy+daru+alcohol+soda+lime+jaljeera+drink+mehman+guests+diwali+party+festival+%25289%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><font face="georgia">The choice of flour. These cookies are made with whole
wheat flour (chakki atta or chapatti ata) and thus it’s much healthier compared
to the ones made with all purpose flour (maida).</font></li><li><font face="georgia">I used oats as another main ingredient. Oatmeal cookies
provide a small amount of protein that is not present in other cookies. Oatmeal
cookies have a high fibre content compared to normal sugar cookies.</font></li><li><font face="georgia">Dark chocolate. I used 70% dark cocoa chocolate which is a
very healthy alternative compared to milk chocolate or white chocolate chips.</font></li><li><font face="georgia">Less sugar. Because you added chocolate you wouldn’t have
to add extra sugar to make your cookies sweet. The chunks of dark chocolate
will make the cookies sweet and will also make it gooey.</font></li><li><font face="georgia">You can also add a whole lot of nuts like cashews, almonds,
walnut or raisins to increase the health quotient of these cookies.</font></li></ul><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqCHS8zcoMi5F3f1yTRqpDebFBueO0RB0Hd8j_MD49lY5MnAR8ytS0qBZuTu48NoPaRGxrpx0s8kfM_MUhyphenhyphenRx97DjYtRzYl13ChWEVuES6SbNECt4m_a4-nE3aQ2ep-VONOM1etRLJ38/s1200/Whole+Wheat+Oats+Chocolate+Chunk+Cookies+healthy+indian+biscuit+how+to+make+cookies+healthy+aate+aata+ata+no+maida++%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGqCHS8zcoMi5F3f1yTRqpDebFBueO0RB0Hd8j_MD49lY5MnAR8ytS0qBZuTu48NoPaRGxrpx0s8kfM_MUhyphenhyphenRx97DjYtRzYl13ChWEVuES6SbNECt4m_a4-nE3aQ2ep-VONOM1etRLJ38/d/Whole+Wheat+Oats+Chocolate+Chunk+Cookies+healthy+indian+biscuit+how+to+make+cookies+healthy+aate+aata+ata+no+maida++%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: georgia;"><font>There is nothing called as healthiest cookie, but yes with
some changes and better</font> alternatives you can make cookies healthy. Use healthy
flour such as whole wheat, rye, ragi or sorghum (jowar) flour. You can check

flaxseeds, sesame seeds, nuts or oats. All these ingredients help to bind the
dough and give you those crunchy cookies without compromising health factor.</font></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><font face="georgia">Cut down on sugar; instead use honey, brown sugar, coconut
sugar, applesauce or chocolate. I love to use 70-80% dark chocolate in the
cookies-chocolate makes everything sweet and thus I have to add very little
sugar in the whole process.</font></li></ul><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><font face="georgia">Reduce the fat. Try to add less butter, oil or ghee in the
recipe. I would say chocolate plays a good role here too; it adds both
sweetness and buttery touch to cookies. I try to add in very less fat and add healthier
alternative such as milk or yogurt to recipes; it not only binds the dough, the
natural fat in milk and curd makes the cookies soft.</font></li></ul><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLnSYQo_T-cs6vaS9y3oW0_DJ_w2rBLan4gf8MtQ_JZu8_Iaq5X7dy7IZFjMJbeqLk4T0c7MwNMF95N-oQV8f1mdFCIL_tK2iJs8c10V9AOVXn6hYmHigqLlqyQ5UdHhwdymJW1IuQI7k/s1200/Whole+Wheat+Oats+Chocolate+Chunk+Cookies+healthy+indian+biscuit+how+to+make+cookies+healthy+aate+aata+ata+no+maida++%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLnSYQo_T-cs6vaS9y3oW0_DJ_w2rBLan4gf8MtQ_JZu8_Iaq5X7dy7IZFjMJbeqLk4T0c7MwNMF95N-oQV8f1mdFCIL_tK2iJs8c10V9AOVXn6hYmHigqLlqyQ5UdHhwdymJW1IuQI7k/d/Whole+Wheat+Oats+Chocolate+Chunk+Cookies+healthy+indian+biscuit+how+to+make+cookies+healthy+aate+aata+ata+no+maida++%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span></div><p></p>

open tub of fresh cream. Yes Paneer Butter Massala cannot be made without cream.
If you want authentic real restaurant style gravy I will say please don’t skip cream.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How Paneer Butter Masala does taste like?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Very lightly spiced, tomato based gravy; thickened with
cashews, cream and butter (ofcourse!). It is an indulgent dish, something in
which you shouldn’t count calories or fat. For same reason it is also called as
Paneer Makhani or Makhani Vale Paneer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How to make restaurant style Paneer Butter Massala at home?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Yes, it is very easy to make restaurant style Paneer Butter
Massala at home if you keep in mind the following tips. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Do not overboard the gravy with spices and masalas. It has
to be subtle. So if you use kitchen king masala power or any other spice powders,
then stop it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Use nuts to thicken the gravy. Cashews are the best choice.
You can use almonds too, but in that case soak the almonds and remove the skin.
Again, do not go crazy with nuts too; you do not want super thick gravy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Put the paneer in the hot water and let it sit there for 20
minutes. This will soften the paneer and you will have that melt in mouth
paneer cubes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Use butter and cream (full fat). There is no alternative
for these too if you want good true paneer butter massala.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-To get that beautiful colour, use Kashmiri red chilli
powder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">-Lastly use garlic, onion and tomatoes also in limited
quantity. You do not want any of this to overpower the whole gravy.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-hLdgPWIq9U-ANV1QIl_H98QIeZaIvpNupVRipG1TfwWry1X7RknoeI6R_GB9w4wLz2qx-8t9AuSIIDUXNSknvRZUX0tGX7MbieFHwE18tmlQ6qm0_BC6UQioam4eC-HCYx_RzLE97Y/s1142/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1142" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgU-hLdgPWIq9U-ANV1QIl_H98QIeZaIvpNupVRipG1TfwWry1X7RknoeI6R_GB9w4wLz2qx-8t9AuSIIDUXNSknvRZUX0tGX7MbieFHwE18tmlQ6qm0_BC6UQioam4eC-HCYx_RzLE97Y/d/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>How to make Dhabha style Paneer Butter Massala at home?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Okay, so those of you don’t know, dabha is a roadside restaurant
in India. You will see so many dabhas on the highways, serving local cuisine. They
are most commonly found next to petrol stations, and most are open 24 hours a
day.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">To make dabha style paneer butter masala you need to apply dhungar
method or coal method. Here basically you heat up a piece of a coal till its red
hot. Then place this charcoal in a steel bowl and place the bowl on the top of the
paneer gravy. Add around ½ teaspoon of ghee on the coal and you will see smoke
or fumes coming out it, immediately cover the pan with the lid and let it sit
there for 2 minutes. Then remove the bowl and discard the coal. This method
will give you that smokey paneer effect you get in the dhabha.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Is Paneer Butter Masala Healthy?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">No absolutely not. Unlike other paneer dishes such as palak
paneer or mutter paneer this paneer dish is loaded with calories and fat. It is
not everyday kind of a paneer subji either –it is a royal treat that you can
have once in a while.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL13QIJ27G4KvZb9_gyPgKk-O6VcVo6cxd1nDzhzhgPPkhndnx9SGGU4GGNbubTzSHKCAzPcwLCMBSOND32zlSclsejo4KJ4nGAsNQqqivDelayIZstcfZo96kK-pRan6IK7qrRFutOVQ/s1200/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL13QIJ27G4KvZb9_gyPgKk-O6VcVo6cxd1nDzhzhgPPkhndnx9SGGU4GGNbubTzSHKCAzPcwLCMBSOND32zlSclsejo4KJ4nGAsNQqqivDelayIZstcfZo96kK-pRan6IK7qrRFutOVQ/d/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>What are variations to Paneer Butter Masala?</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Over the years, trying paneer butter Massala at various
places in india, UK and many European countries I have learnt some variations and
I would like to share that with you all.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">You can add makhane (fox nuts) in the gravy and it tastes
good with paneer.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">I have seen restaurants even adding peas (matar) with paneer
gravy and it was a good twist too.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">But my most favourite combination has been chunks of bell
peppers in the paneer makhani gravy and in my recipe I have added it. (Feel
free not to, but I promise there is something so magical about this variation).</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiay4S6rXgjc8wpKS_lJaKtCXTpuQXOVXuZFu-C6HPsmSwet8r2t6OzLpVTgynZkn7uPoBAnCPuKgxMLloCgYu4Ipa38XL_c2nmxM9v18n868Stak3jwPgUA7Mvi7KFpWiFzKyqA4k8TyA/s1200/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiay4S6rXgjc8wpKS_lJaKtCXTpuQXOVXuZFu-C6HPsmSwet8r2t6OzLpVTgynZkn7uPoBAnCPuKgxMLloCgYu4Ipa38XL_c2nmxM9v18n868Stak3jwPgUA7Mvi7KFpWiFzKyqA4k8TyA/d/paneer+butter+masala+massala+indian+vegan+makhani+makani+makane+restaurent+dhabha+dabha+desi+kaise+banaye+hotel+jaise+with+without+cream+low+fat+jaisi+style+lababdar+lababdaar+soft+kaju+badam+cashews+almonds+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><b>Method:</b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Heat oil in a pan. Add bay leaf, green cardamom and cinnamon.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Add in chopped garlic, ginger and onion. Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon

bubbling up and leaving oil on the sides.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">After 5 minutes, slowly add in the cream and sugar. Mix and
let it cook covered for 7-8 minutes. You must see shiny creamy gravy. Have a
quick salt test to see if you need anything. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">In the meantime on a separate pan, heat ½ teaspoon butter
and sauté paneer cubes till you see some light golden colour on its skin (do
not over roast the paneer). In the same pan also roast bell pepper (capsicum)
till you see some cooked or burnt spots on its skin. Set both aside.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Throw in paneer and capsicum in the gravy. Add ¼ cup water.
Let it simmer covered on slow heat for 5 minutes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Finally add in kasturi methi and coriander leaves.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Serve with dollop of remaining butter on the top. And swirl

all over the internet and it must very confusing to decide which one to use.
Well, to be honest it all depends on what your needs are. To elaborate the
statement; do you want Naan to be without yeast or maida (all purpose flour).
OR you want the naan to be cooked in oven or stovetop (gas/hob). OR you don’t
have much time and you want an instant naan recipe. OR you want a healthy
version let’s say whole wheat (chakki atta) naan. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">So as mentioned, there are so many variations of naan
recipes from the ingredients used to the method of cooking. I have made all

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Just by using this simple and basic naan dough recipe you
can make so many variations of naan. Use chopped garlic to make garlic naan. Or
green chillies to make chilli naan. Or both chilli and garlic to make Garlic
Chilli Naan. You just need to brush some butter on the hot naan and there you
have Butter Naan. Sometimes I also like to use mint and coriander leaves to get
that restaurant style feel. Since naan is so widely popular all over the world
now, I have seen Italian twist also given to naan by adding pesto, fresh or
dried Italian herbs such as oregano, basil and chilli flakes.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">What to eat with naan? I would say any paneer dishes goes
really well with naan. But you can also pair it up with hummus and yogurt dips.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 tablespoon green chilli chopped<o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 teaspoon mix of sesame seeds and onion seeds (kalonji and

<p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><font face="georgia">Method:<o:p></o:p></font></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">In a mixing bowl mix; yogurt, salt, sugar, soda, whole wheat
flour and all purpose flour. Mix all the dry ingredients well.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Add yogurt and start forming the dough. Start adding water
little by little (you might not need to add all the water). The dough should be
stretchy and soft. Cover and keep it aside for at least 30 minutes.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Heat a flat non-stick pan or skillet or tawa.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Divide the dough into 4 equal parts and roll it to ball
shape of ball.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Start rolling the naan. Shape doesn’t matter; I rolled into
oval cylindrical shape. Sprinkle onion seeds, sesame seeds, chopped garlic and
green chilli on one side of the naan. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Place the naan with garlic side first on the tava. When you
see the bubbles turn it over and cook the other side. Naan needs to be cooked
on high heat. When the other side is also cooked properly; start roasting the
naan on an open heat/flame on the stovetop. If you have gas burner then reduce
the heat and cook the naan with the help of tong till you see brown spots. If
you have induction or electric hob, then use a iron grill to roast the naan. (You
must see the video above to understand what I mean).</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRiGBlNb7VdnVCSz-_fJfCbYkmIbjF5EyFkwP7Tc8CSzdCFyyTSl12Czgl16UwpZdkmQjO0uIzRkuoHiwQcXQ0JDflWoVeUuMDo6_1wV7RbYOrenuSlbklUo7Mqykjh5M19Ku9UwG5sM/s1200/CHILLI+GARLIC+NAAN+HOMEMADE+INSTANT+NO+YEAST+WHOLE+WHEAT+NO+MAIDA+AATE+SE+AATE+KA+AATA+ATA+CHAKKI+BINA+YOGURT+DAHI+CURD+BUTTER+PLAIN+CHEESE+MINT+PIZZA+TAWA+TAVA+OVEN+STOVE+GAS+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCRiGBlNb7VdnVCSz-_fJfCbYkmIbjF5EyFkwP7Tc8CSzdCFyyTSl12Czgl16UwpZdkmQjO0uIzRkuoHiwQcXQ0JDflWoVeUuMDo6_1wV7RbYOrenuSlbklUo7Mqykjh5M19Ku9UwG5sM/d/CHILLI+GARLIC+NAAN+HOMEMADE+INSTANT+NO+YEAST+WHOLE+WHEAT+NO+MAIDA+AATE+SE+AATE+KA+AATA+ATA+CHAKKI+BINA+YOGURT+DAHI+CURD+BUTTER+PLAIN+CHEESE+MINT+PIZZA+TAWA+TAVA+OVEN+STOVE+GAS+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia"><b>Tips:</b></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Rest the dough in the warm place.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>What is pav? Why is it called pav?</b></font></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Pav is bread, just like dinner rolls or mini loaf. It was
Portuguese who brought Pav to India and you used to get it in a set of four and
then you break off each as you eat. The Pav means one-fourth in many Indian language.
There is one crazier story that says that the bread is called pav because the
dough was kneaded using feet to speed up the work. (I hope to believe the first
one). Later on, when it started getting popular especially in Maharashtra, it
was called as Ladi Pav.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Can you make pav at home? Does pav contain eggs?</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Yes, you can make pav at home. In fact it is so easy and
satisfying that you will never buy pav from the market. Majority of the places
that sold pav in India contains no eggs. Almost all recipes that you will see
on internet for ladi pav weather Sanjeev Kapoor, Nishamadhulika,
CookingShooking –no one used eggs-so eggs are not needed to make pav.</font></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLyc_kGlT2T-quuvBpze-NVtGW6SicaLvQpWe_9szm-xgtbTWzxZ2Y7DUhvdYk5kHCUma3jYB-DF2UQ14yCOdyemTKOBdMIq8ASPGOM70FoZvhRH6OBhhYQpi1X8XVmL0mOQox7RsKSQ/s3264/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25284%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3264" data-original-width="900" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDLyc_kGlT2T-quuvBpze-NVtGW6SicaLvQpWe_9szm-xgtbTWzxZ2Y7DUhvdYk5kHCUma3jYB-DF2UQ14yCOdyemTKOBdMIq8ASPGOM70FoZvhRH6OBhhYQpi1X8XVmL0mOQox7RsKSQ/d/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25284%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>How is pav made? Is pav made with feet? Is pav made of
maida? </b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Pav is made with all purpose flour (maida), yeast, milk
and few more basic kitchen ingredients. Pav is made in the oven but there are
some recipes that use no yeast and are made in cooker or burner too. There was
a rumour is earlier days that pav was made with feet to speed up the kneading
process, but I don’t believe that it’s true now, thanks to all the machines. Also, with people getting health conscious, you can make pav without maida using whole wheat flour or chakki aata too but you wont get that amazing result.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Why the pav you made became hard? How to make soft pav?</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">When the pav comes of out the oven, it will be hard so
you need to rub some butter on it, the butter gets absorbed and you are then
left with soft bread. Honestly, making pav at home is simple, but you need to
knead the dough well-no compromise in that. So, if you have hand beater with
knead attachment or kitchen aid or stand beater then you are good to go;
otherwise you need to have good hand muscles and strength to do so!!</font></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDrzWVbsgdvkUgs6w0Wn-1hKP5rf5NG1cdyTCTNZuVQUf4Rt5_IHgzYm8j5Behf4tT8c4oWxYtY-G915ZW-qqXsSfFnFxzqe58FquP4nYoTxzAkB7LuFJQ9Df4zeNgqUTa5VydM5EXYg/s1195/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25285%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1195" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDrzWVbsgdvkUgs6w0Wn-1hKP5rf5NG1cdyTCTNZuVQUf4Rt5_IHgzYm8j5Behf4tT8c4oWxYtY-G915ZW-qqXsSfFnFxzqe58FquP4nYoTxzAkB7LuFJQ9Df4zeNgqUTa5VydM5EXYg/d/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25285%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>What do with Pav? What to eat with it?</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Just like, roti or chapatti or naan you can pair pav with
almost anything. From making into burger to serving as it is for breakfast or
evening snack. Or serve alongside any curry-pav is enough!!</font></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Ingredients:</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">7 grams yeast (which equals to 1 sachet) I used instant yeast</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">2 teaspoon sugar</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">3 cups all purpose flour/plain flour/maida</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">½ teaspoon salt</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">1 and ¼ cup milk (warm)</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">4 tablespoons butter.</font></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zuX-ktrI654" width="320" youtube-src-id="zuX-ktrI654"></iframe></div><font face="georgia"><div><font face="georgia"><br /></font></div><b><u>Check the video to see how it turned out to be.</u></b><br /></font><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Method:</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">In a large mixing bowl, activate the yeast with 2 tsp
sugar and 1 cup milk. Mix and leave it for 3 minutes.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Add 3 cups of flour and salt in it and start forming the
dough. You will see that the dough is tight, so add in ¼ cup milk and form the
dough. The dough should be sticky.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Start kneading the dough. Punch and knock. Do this for
5-8 minutes. The more you knead the dough, the stickiness will loosen and gluten will form.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Add 2 tablespoon butter and cover the dough with a cloth
or a plate and set it aside for 2 hours in a warm place. (I always leave it
inside the oven).</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Preheat the oven at 180 C for 10 minutes. In the
meantime, grease the tray with 1 tablespoon butter. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">The dough would have risen well. Knock out the air and
divide into 12 equal parts. Form clean balls out of each part and start lining
them on the greased tray. Cover the dough again and leave it to rise for 20
minutes. The dough should reach to the brim of the tray.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Then, bake the pav, at 180 C for 20 minutes, or until the pav turns
golden brown from top.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Once the pav is out of the oven, rub the remaining butter to get a
shiny look.<o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Let it cool down completely on a cooling rack and then serve.<o:p></o:p></font></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTL3g38wSuZ5g0dzGg-mxKMumdK3l2qLLL-oqezhZ1G-VrfWSav3WbJV9FbeUjSeuIm2c1IkiUP3tFZpQasM-FP9jVfCGpVpIZUTextaqQyuIhv1GbWvMCcJSpXDiPfJOAH5BCTZAKwpk/s1200/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25282%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTL3g38wSuZ5g0dzGg-mxKMumdK3l2qLLL-oqezhZ1G-VrfWSav3WbJV9FbeUjSeuIm2c1IkiUP3tFZpQasM-FP9jVfCGpVpIZUTextaqQyuIhv1GbWvMCcJSpXDiPfJOAH5BCTZAKwpk/d/ladi+pav+pav+recipe+no+yeast+egg+eggless+eggfree+whole+wheat+aata+chaki+ata+kaise+banaye+no+oven+soft+ghar+no+maida+ate+ki+bhaji+anda+dinner+rolls+hard+dabeli+vada+pav+%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Tips:<o:p></o:p></b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">You can brush some milk on the pav right before putting it in the
oven.<o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Some recipes I saw on internet asked for milk powder, but honestly
you don’t need-the result I got was perfect without it too.<o:p></o:p></font></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia">Oven timings can depend on oven to oven, so wait till the top is
golden and crusty.</font></p>Merry Tummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04692591908774768466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802996344963439637.post-52004774089865030112020-07-14T01:11:00.002-07:002020-07-14T01:39:24.732-07:00The Best Pineapple Cake | Fresh Cream Icing | Indian Bakery Style<p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMCvarZBFE0Z14YuOwvwhyoVMLFmBXypfP2qjtdBfUXBSD5cuU3BgLvw1lTta8okW7a4cQnnKCL334hUCbuvc8sgzkUVsZDnH0CENWAljXiJwY8nQbu0spqSyqWNDoC3RwztiThgobvA/s1200/pineapple+cake+indian+bakery+style+fresh+cream+forest+eggless+eggfree+no+eggs+no+cream+crushed+can+canned+best+old+simple+beginer+easy+upside+down+what+to+do+with+pineapple+%25283%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMCvarZBFE0Z14YuOwvwhyoVMLFmBXypfP2qjtdBfUXBSD5cuU3BgLvw1lTta8okW7a4cQnnKCL334hUCbuvc8sgzkUVsZDnH0CENWAljXiJwY8nQbu0spqSyqWNDoC3RwztiThgobvA/d/pineapple+cake+indian+bakery+style+fresh+cream+forest+eggless+eggfree+no+eggs+no+cream+crushed+can+canned+best+old+simple+beginer+easy+upside+down+what+to+do+with+pineapple+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia"><br /></font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Hey everyone, are you following me on Instagram or not?

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Pineapple Cake has to be soft, airy and fresh-otherwise it is
not pineapple cake-simple. So, if you ask, can you make this eggfree (eggless) I
would say yes you can (ofcourse) but I doubt you will get that soft supple sponge.
The next thing I recommend using is canned pineapple; fresh pineapple can be
sour which will ruin the whole balance of your cake. Also the leftover juice
from the canned pineapple is a great element that is used to soak the sponge
layers.

<p class="MsoNormal"><u><font face="georgia">For Cake<o:p></o:p></font></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Preheat the oven to 170 C for 10 minutes. Grease the pan
with butter really well.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">In a mixing bowl, add butter and sugar. Mix till it becomes light
and sugar has dissolved properly.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Now add eggs and beat again for 3 minutes. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Then add yogurt and vanilla essence. Beat again for 3
minutes. The whole mixture should turn smooth and creamy.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Sift plain flour, baking soda and baking powder into the
above mixture. Mix well. Slowly start adding milk and form a smooth batter. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">I used 8 inch round pan. Pour the batter in the greased pan
and bake for 30 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out
clean. Carefully transfer cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><font face="georgia">For Icing<o:p></o:p></font></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Start by whipping sugar and cream. Beat till cream holds the
shape of the peak.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u><font face="georgia">For Assembling<o:p></o:p></font></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Once the cake has cool down completely, divide the cake into
3 layers. I use thread to do so, and it gives me great result. You can check it<a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgiKO_lf2Z/" target="_blank">

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Start assembling the cake now. So on whichever plate you
want to serve, put in the first layer. Sprinkle around 2 tablespoons canned
sugar syrup on it. Spread 5 tablespoons on the first layer and spread on it.
Add pineapple pieces on it. Repeat the same step for second layer too.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">On the final layer, sprinkle the syrup and then cover the
whole cake with the whipped cream. I used the pineapple chunks on the top layer
and also did some whipped cream swirls on the side. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">I had some leftover glitter spray, that I used in the end for some dramatic touch.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn1OGG8F-SyG_GoTCPaed9T2jBEGL1PT-ITYtnx2KhOtSb97ycfgYsTdL_EqHOgZ7BYIRJNFHIIAkhSfJk9WIS1c58HZ9v1FJvhbLV9lcAT1Ouc4KfdOEB7HKrEkqKAFoCEuhFTuCgYI/s1024/pineapple+cake+indian+bakery+style+fresh+cream+forest+eggless+eggfree+no+eggs+no+cream+crushed+can+canned+best+old+simple+beginer+easy+upside+down+what+to+do+with+pineapple+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQn1OGG8F-SyG_GoTCPaed9T2jBEGL1PT-ITYtnx2KhOtSb97ycfgYsTdL_EqHOgZ7BYIRJNFHIIAkhSfJk9WIS1c58HZ9v1FJvhbLV9lcAT1Ouc4KfdOEB7HKrEkqKAFoCEuhFTuCgYI/d/pineapple+cake+indian+bakery+style+fresh+cream+forest+eggless+eggfree+no+eggs+no+cream+crushed+can+canned+best+old+simple+beginer+easy+upside+down+what+to+do+with+pineapple+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>

home. It’s just that in this lockdown phase I definitely went back to baking
bread, probably because the whole internet world was going crazy about
sourdough breads.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">The whole process of working with the yeast, punching and
knocking the dough, seeing the bread rise is such a therapeutic and satisfying
process that you should try it once, for sure. This whole wheat bread or loaf
happened because i had yeast in the pantry and all purpose flour (maida) was
nowhere to be found in the supermarkets. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">I did some Google research to find a good recipe for <b>Whole
Wheat (Atta) Bread</b> but wasn’t convinced with the recipes-some recipes called
for milk powder (i had none); some recipes wanted me to use a particular kind
of yeast (I had instant yeast only); some recipes were with eggs (I wanted to
make eggless one) - so eventually i crafted my own recipe with little bit of
this and little bit of that-Jugaad is the word I must say.</font></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_651PHq-J9uHvCdv-6azNJPxPz6qJxejWQCl11oSoWqzsYFZFzWa00P3SjwnLIet8BePNYBlyuGLqXJSLGBtXYI3XgrcXxBPvo3UWybHf_VHTOp9BE1dyV6K7Nbt5G_VE33xbERYszc/s1200/whole+wheat+chakki+aata+ataa+ata+gehu+ka+aata+bread+pav+ashirwad+pilsbury+eastend+elephant+multigrain+double+dabal+roti+chapati+flour+at+home+ghar+%25281%2529.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_651PHq-J9uHvCdv-6azNJPxPz6qJxejWQCl11oSoWqzsYFZFzWa00P3SjwnLIet8BePNYBlyuGLqXJSLGBtXYI3XgrcXxBPvo3UWybHf_VHTOp9BE1dyV6K7Nbt5G_VE33xbERYszc/d/whole+wheat+chakki+aata+ataa+ata+gehu+ka+aata+bread+pav+ashirwad+pilsbury+eastend+elephant+multigrain+double+dabal+roti+chapati+flour+at+home+ghar+%25281%2529.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">This recipe is for absolute beginners, you just can’t go

this bread-well worry not you can make it into round bread or even make buns
–just make this bread. It’s easy, healthy, simple and so uplifting</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia"><b>Ingredients:</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">3 cups whole wheat flour/ chapatti flour</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 and ¼ cups water</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 tablespoon instant yeast</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 teaspoon salt</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">1 teaspoon sugar</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">½ teaspoon baking soda</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">¼ teaspoon baking powder</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">3 tablespoon butter/ghee/oil + a little more for greasing
the pan</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">3 tablespoons yogurt/dahi</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia"><b>Method:</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">In a mixing bowl add wheat flour, baking soda, baking
powder, yeast, salt and sugar. Mix well.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Add in yogurt and water and start kneading the dough. Punch
and knock. You will feel that water is too much and dough is sticky, don’t
worry-just keep kneading for 5 minutes and the dough will start coming
together. Kneading helps to form gluten and that makes the bread soft.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Mix 2 tablespoons of butter and knead again for 2 minutes.
Cover and let it rise and rest for 1 hour. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">After 1 hour the dough must have risen double in size.
Grease the pan with some oil and form the dough in the log shape and put in the
greased pan. Cover and let it rise for 40 minutes.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Preheat the oven at 220 C for 8 minutes. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Bake the bread at 220 C for 25 minutes. The top part of the
bread must turn crusty and golden brown. Check by inserting the knife in
between, it should come out clean. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">When the bread is still warm, spread the remaining 1
tablespoon butter, this will give that shine of the bread. </font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Let the warm bread cool down before you take it out the
mould.

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia"><b>Tips:</b></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">The time taken to bake varies from oven to oven. So if you
see the top of the bread is getting dark but inside the bread is still raw then
cover the pan with aluminium foil and then bake.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">If you are not sure if the bread is done, then pat the
bottom of the pan-it should sound very hollow.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Cool the bread completely before slicing.</font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="georgia">Store the bread in container. It will stay good for around
10 days.</font></p>Merry Tummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04692591908774768466noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-802996344963439637.post-1411422953176933872020-06-22T05:58:00.000-07:002020-06-22T05:58:40.240-07:00Rajasthani Marwadi Gatte Ki Subji<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii1UIkr2Me_l8hcKKVSRZYQwStvf2TzLAnUUKIFk3j-pdv_5Cx6DGzf_Imqhyejz4PrsCestLigYiQzHnjfW4ibC9DklR51AFYIWI9w_4kVj-gRIDGio52oTJ_funBYwqlibQ1_4cSpx8/s1200/gatte+ki+subji+sabzi+subzi+marwari+marwadi+rajasthani+dahi+bina+without+yougurt+garlic+onion+sukhi+dry+sindhi+dhabha+desi+dabha+desi+authentic+soft+gatta+besan+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii1UIkr2Me_l8hcKKVSRZYQwStvf2TzLAnUUKIFk3j-pdv_5Cx6DGzf_Imqhyejz4PrsCestLigYiQzHnjfW4ibC9DklR51AFYIWI9w_4kVj-gRIDGio52oTJ_funBYwqlibQ1_4cSpx8/d/gatte+ki+subji+sabzi+subzi+marwari+marwadi+rajasthani+dahi+bina+without+yougurt+garlic+onion+sukhi+dry+sindhi+dhabha+desi+dabha+desi+authentic+soft+gatta+besan+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><font face="georgia">Very proudly I can say

if it is paired with Daal Baati or is made on a special day then, you will see
slight rich variation where it is uplifted by garlic, onion and even tomatoes.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p>

this curry has also changed its taste as it traveled from one part of India to
other. Now we see its dry variation (without gravy) , a sindhi variation

the recipe that is made with garlic, onion, tomatoes and yogurt (dahi/curd).
Also, I was once asked to share the recipes that is without curd. To be honest,
yes you can make this curry without curd but what it will lack is that yellowish
orange colour. To do so, just make a semi thick tomato gravy that you would do
for any curry and then just dunk in the gatte.<o:p></o:p></font></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghk2kvX8k2th-1Lhb2nIm0b-r8qX9EnLE_JukPrTGjIPaiccozJRmGkGsGR0dHfUoxOfceEsnqxGNTZRRcMzrR2TXaorfrvA6N9Ga-9VX7M4gQAUI3aYWj1t2U85nI3xs_K-9j4U6vzzc/s1200/gatte+ki+subji+sabzi+subzi+marwari+marwadi+rajasthani+dahi+bina+without+yougurt+garlic+onion+sukhi+dry+sindhi+dhabha+desi+dabha+desi+authentic+soft+gatta+besan+%25283%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghk2kvX8k2th-1Lhb2nIm0b-r8qX9EnLE_JukPrTGjIPaiccozJRmGkGsGR0dHfUoxOfceEsnqxGNTZRRcMzrR2TXaorfrvA6N9Ga-9VX7M4gQAUI3aYWj1t2U85nI3xs_K-9j4U6vzzc/d/gatte+ki+subji+sabzi+subzi+marwari+marwadi+rajasthani+dahi+bina+without+yougurt+garlic+onion+sukhi+dry+sindhi+dhabha+desi+dabha+desi+authentic+soft+gatta+besan+%25283%2529.jpg" /></a></div><font face="georgia"><br /></font><p></p>

style potatoes curry. A dry curry, kind of a side one, served generously on a
dosa or paired alongside puri or paratha. When we talk about south Indian cuisine,
picture the use of lentils, tamarind, curry leaves, mustard seeds and coconut.
Right from south Indian chutneys to daily curries to routine staple food such
as sambhar, idli, dosa, vada, appam-they use above mentioned ingredients a lot.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><span lang="">Even
though the use of potatoes aka aloo, is in abundance in other parts of India, </span><span>potatoes</span> are rarely used in

kinds of food, the taste and the way of preparing the meal is widely different.
That’s why same dosa in Chennai will be different to the one is Mysore or same

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><b>Potato Massala o</b>r <b>Aloo Massala </b>or <b>Aloo Bhaji</b> is made with
semi mashed potatoes. So if you ask, how to boil potatoes? You can pressure
cook potatoes in the pressure coo</font><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: small;">ker for 1-2 whistles. I generally use the microwave
method. To do so, make a slit on the potatoes with a knife. Keep it in a glass
bowl full of water and microwave for 12 minutes. You might need to reduce or increase
the time depending on the size of the potatoes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><font face="georgia"><span lang=""><span> </span></span>So,
once boiled potatoes are ready then you just need to sauté it with thinly
sliced onions and green chilies. I would say that if you don’t have curry
leaves, do not make this, because honestly curry leaves brings out such a good
aroma to otherwise plain aalo masala. <span> </span>It
is a such a simple dish that gets ready quickly, and you can serve as a
stuffing for dosa or pair along with fried poori such <a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2017/08/ajwain-massala-puri.html" target="_blank">ajwain puri</a> or <a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2014/10/palak-puri-spinach-poori-healthy-twist.html" target="_blank">palak poori. </a><span> </span>You can also use this as stuffing

jams need pectin. Pectin is a type of starch that occurs naturally when sugar
is mixed with fruits. Majority of ready made jams the one we get in store
contains artificial pectin (</span> heteropolysaccharide) that makes thick
jam. It is like gelatin that makes desserts thick but <span>P</span></span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">ectin</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;"> is a water-soluble fiber derived from non-animal

Puri is a very popular simple breakfast or brunch item that is served in almost
all Indian homes on the weekends. But it is also something royal that is served
to guests in weddings (shaadi), birthday parties or even house warming parties.
The fact is that -the combination of raswali (gravy) tari (a bit oily) aloo ki
sabji and puri is a synonym for celebration .Period!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">How to
make Alloo Ki Subji without Tomatoes/Curd? Infact this version tastes so good
that you will stop using tomatoes in your raswali (liquid) potatoes curry all together.
This kind of alu ki subji is very popular in Mathura and Banaras-also called as
Dubki Vale Aloo or Ghaat Ke Alu Or Banrasi Aloo. It is mainly served with<u><a href="https://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2017/10/urad-dal-kachori-up-vali-kachori-aloo.html" target="_blank"> urad or moong daal puri or kachori </a></u>with some green chillies on the side.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So if
you are stuck in the home with some potatoes and wondering what to do with
it-worry not, just make this version. Serve it along with<a href="https://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2017/08/ajwain-massala-puri.html" target="_blank"> ajwain puri</a> or <u><a href="https://merrytummy.blogspot.com/2014/10/palak-puri-spinach-poori-healthy-twist.html" target="_blank">palak puri </a></u>or just simple parathas. This aloo ki sabzi is cooked with basic Indian
spices, and is prominently flavoured with hing. You will need to boil potatoes
beforehand for this curry to get that good thick traditional dubki vali subji. This
type of rasile tari aloo ki subji is also satvik because it has no onion and is
also without garlic. Let's see how to make this.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">here is the
fact. I will claim it is a fact because that's how sure I am. The fact is that
give Indians few ingredients and they will make you something really good with
it. Not only that, they can indianised any dish so well that you will forget
the origin of the dish. We have indo-Chinese, indo-Mexican, indo-Italian-
basically all cuisines that we have adapted to Indian version.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

post is another example of such fusion cooking. It is Indian style spaghetti
noodles. I, to be honest do not know what to name this dish. It is both Italian
and Chinese, I guess. I have used ingredients such as soya sauce, schezwan
sauce from Chinese kitchen and then I have used Italian herbs, basil, tomato
sauce too like the way you would do in Italian arrabiata sauce.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

style means it has to be rich in colour, spicy and saucy. We don't like our
pasta to be dry-we like it where every stand of noodle is coated with massala

and all basic spices. Also you don't need to make any fancy sauce beforehand,

a popular north Indian dish made with cottage cheese, with spices (massala) and
with or without veggies. It is eaten with roti, paratha, naan, puri, kulcha,
bhatura, bread, pav or as a side dish. It is also used as a stuffing for

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Is paneer healthy? Can we eat paneer every day? Is
paneer good for weight loss? After a quick google search and speaking to a
friend who is a dietician and a nutritionist <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have come up to the conclusion that paneer
is a power house of protein, healthy fats and is very low on carbohydrates. It
is recommended for weight loss only if you make it in a healthy way that is not
by deep frying and also using lots of vegetables in the process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I initially started cooking paneer bhurji, I saw
so many recipes and videos of Sanjeev Kapoor, Ranveer Brar, Harpal Singh etc
but slowly I understood that you need to decide as an individual what you want
in your paneer bhurji. Paneer Bhurji is one such paneer dish that is super
healthy and can be altered in so many ways. You can use onions garlic or not.
You can use capsicum (I love to use) or not. Some people like it with gravy, I just
prefer it dry. You can add veggies like corn, peas, spinach etc to make it even
healthier.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

this recipe, I like to use store brought ones. In the market you will find two
types of paneer-one will be soft white paneer and other will be slight
yellowish paneer (bit hard, that looks like a block of cheddar cheese) -use
that hard one for paneer bhurji recipe. Reason, because hard paneer is easy to
grate and when it cooks it doesn't become a mushy mess. Also if you are using
frozen paneer, give a good boil in the pan full of water, when it cools
down-grate and use.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

using it. Feel free to add if you wish.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Sabudana Kichadi</b> is
my go-to meal whenever I am fasting. Yes, in India when we fast for navratri,
shivratri or janamasthmi we have to eat <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">falhar
</i>food and not eat any<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> anaaj or ann, </i>I
honestly don't know how to describe that in English because only an Indian will
understand what I mean. Many times I have to explain my non Indian friends here
in the UK that when I say I am fasting I am allowed to eat certain foods like
sabudana, kuttu, muriya (sama rice), rajgira, fruits, yogurt and some
vegetables like aloo, tomatoes and green chillies too. They mostly compare my
fasting with roza (Muslims' fast during Ramadan where they can't even drink
water before the sunsets), Hindus way of fasting is different and easy I will
say. There are tons of options you can eat while you fast.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So I started
making Sabudana Kichadi every Friday because that's when I fast. If you ask me <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What is Sabudana made of?</b> Well I have
been told that Sabudana is the starch (gluten free) that is extracted from
tapioca roots, which is later on processed to form pearls that may vary in
size. The pearls are produced by passing the moist starch through a sieve under
pressure and then dried to give us Sabudana grain. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">There is
always a question asked -if this <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">helps
you lose weight or gain weight?</b>, well it helps you in </span>weight
gain<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; float: none; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; orphans: 2; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"> - If you are

Since it is very starchy
it is very high in carbohydrates and calories. </span>So does that mean
that <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sabudana is good for health?</b> Well, Sabudana is loaded with good amount
of potassium that helps to keep your BP in check. It gives healthy blood
flow and lowers the strain on your heart. It is also low in cholesterol and
hence can be eaten guilt-free. Sabudana is a great source of protein,
which is required for the growth of muscles. But since it is high in
carbohydrates and calories, I will say eat it in moderation- like once a week
or once a while.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Making sabudana
is very easy but you need to master the art of soaking it well otherwise it
will become mushy, sticky and chewy<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. How
to make perfect non-sticky Sabudana Khichdi / tapioca pearls? </b>and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How long should Sabudana be soaked?</b></span>
So below are my instructions that will help you make good kichadi with every
grain separate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You need to
soak sabudana overnight for best results, however if you are short on time you
would still need 4-5 hours of soaking. Please don't use hot water to fast the
process, it won't work and your Kichadi will come out really sticky.</span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Take a sieve/colander/channi
and wash the sabudana with running water. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In big bowl
soak sabudana by adding just enough water to cover them. </span>The water level
can be 1 to 1.5 inches above the sabudana. <span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cover and let it soak for at
least 4-5 hours or preferably overnight.<o:p></o:p></span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sabudana
grains will fluff up and when you press a grain it should mash up easily.</span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just in
case if the water is extra, keep the sabudana in the sieve/strainer and drain
off all the excess water. Make sure there is no extra water. (this step is important).</span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Use enough
oil, do not use too much oil because when you cook sago on heat it release
water which when mixed with oil can spoil the taste giving it a sticky oily
feeling. So add just enough oil-not too much and not to less.</span></span></li>
<li><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you
add sabudana in the pan for cooking, do not overcook it-cook only it grain
becomes translucent and grains are not sticking to each other.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Even when
you are not fasting (vrat) you can make it for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It
is wholesome meal idea and you can add in lots of veggies to make it even
healthier like carrots, capsicum, spinach and peas. (remember if you are
fasting you will have to check what vegetables you can eat when you fast).
Sabudana Kichadi is a great alternative to poha. There is a gujratai way of
making it which sweeter and then there is Maharashtrian way of making it which
is tad bit spicy and has peanuts too. The best part of this is that you alter
and modify the recipe as per your choice-add whatever vegetables you want-with
potatoes or without-with peanuts or without-with curry leaves or without; so I am
sure you know what I mean now.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Aloo Paratha recipe on my blog, but then it is such a staple meal in almost
every Indian household that putting up a recipe of it on a blog would be
useless-isn't it? But then with years of experience and trying so many
variations from blogging world and various family members' advice I think I
should now make a post on alu paratha too.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Okay, so I won't say that these are the
most authentic way of making alu paratha (because, hey who knows where's the
authentic ones are from). Neither will I say that these are the best Punjabi
style aloo paratha (because I haven't eaten the one from Punjab so I dont know
what it tastes like). All I can claim is that these are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Simple Basic Homestyle Aloo Paratha</b>.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The dough should be soft and must have
rested for at least 15 minutes.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Potatoes should be mashed when it's cold.
Not grated (I repeat), but mashed. The lumps of potatoes filling found in
between is sooooo good.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Add the spices (massale) only when potatoes
when become cold. Do not add in extra massalas like pav bhaji massala, garam
massla-keep it simple.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Use ghee, please use ghee-can’t explain
this point enough. Ghee is your best friend for good aloo paratha. <b>If you are
vegan, please use any oil instead.</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Do not be afraid to add in extra filling,
hey who doesn't like oozing out alu stuffing? Its okay if its not perfectly
round.</span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Can you freeze Aloo Paratha?</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Yes you can. Initially I used to buy
Haldiram's, Ashoka's and Shana's stuffed paratha a lot but now I don't. I just
freeze my own homemade ones. Fill the parathas and roll it out as you would
normally do. When you cook it on the tava/pan donot cook it completely. Half
cook it or under-cook it-which means when you see some brown bubbles on the
paratha then take it off the tava and let it cool it completely. Put in clingfilm,
parchment paper (baking paper), aluminium foil in between each paratha. Put the
parathas in a container and freeze. They will be okay for a 2 months. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Whenever you want to eat them, just heat a
tava and put the frozen paratha on it. Pour in some ghee and cook it completely.
*Remember we left the parathas under-cooked before freezing because now is the
time you cook it completely.</span></span></div>

In Hindi zucchini is called as taroi, tori, turai or galka and if you are thinking about a modification on how to use those zucchini in the fridge, then this recipe is for you.</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Necessity is the mother of invention and this isolation time is proving this theory to be so right, well at least for me. So even though ingredients are available in the market, we obviously want to avoid unnecessary visit to the supermarkets. The other day, we both had an urge to eat something sweet and we did not wanted to use our atta (wheat flour that we survive on our daily roti needs) and that is when it strike me to use Jowar flour which otherwise was sitting abandoned in my kitchen pantry.</span></div>

Thus to be able to use this super grain flour in cookies was a great way to eliminate refined flour and be able to create something healthy. I also, wanted to use less sugar and that is when milk chocolate bar grabbed my attention, I chopped the milk chocolate bar into chunks which when melted slowly, gave that much needed sweet kick.</span></span></span></div>

is FREE. Oh yeah baby, a trip to Nice is wasted if you do not go to the Castle
Hill. Okay, so you won't find any castle here, just a hill and when you reach
there after 300 steps you get the incredible (read aww-strucking) view of
French Rivera, the busy town and small hills. Further ahead after 20 more
steps there is a beautiful waterfall which must not be missed at all.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2. <b>Old Town</b>: Yes,
even before the beach I must say old town must be on your list. It is the honeycomb
of small narrow streets offering you mix of everything-small boutiques, glamorous
to simple restaurants, wine tasting, handmade soaps, spices, bath salts, and
what not. Just get lost and enjoy. When you get tired visit Cathedral de
Ste-Réparate, sit near a fountain or stop and have some beer.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 16px;">Tip: Try to stay near old town as the night life is pretty exciting and the buses and trams run only till 9pm and getting a taxi back hotel is very expensive.</span><br />

whole stretch of the beach is called as Promenade des Anglais. Indeed,
it is one of the cities that has 300 days of sunshine and glamorous
weather, so the water is warm enough to dive in. We wanted to be like locals,
so we used public beach at Lenaval and the experience was good. We rolled out
our towels on pebbly beach and just relaxed in the sun and water. However there
are some private beaches as well, giving you beach chairs, lockers and changing
room for 16 Euros or more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

flip-flops as the beach is too pebbly and it might not work. If you suffer from
back pain, do consider taking beach chairs.</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12pt;">4.<b> Local Food</b>: Try to
binge on gelatos and crepes during lunch and for dinner enjoy a comforting meal
at the narrow streets of old town. We stopped at various small cafes for lunch
and ate varieties of cakes, macaroons and hot crêpes. They have a local snack
called Socca which is a savory pancake made with chickpea flour and is served
hot. Eat at a place that makes fresh one and not just reheat the old one. Also,
you can choose your toppings on Socca, we chose black olives and absolutely
loved it. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #222222;">We had our dinner at a very cozy Italian <o:p></o:p></span><span style="color: #222222;">restaurant and as it got darker, there were street artists on the street dancing and singing-entertaining you to the fullest.</span></span></div>

flavours like chocolate or vanilla instead try new flavors of gelatos like
jasmine, cactus or moringa. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">School time
is the best time of our lives, ofcourse we realise that once we are in college.
One of the fondest memories of school days-sharing tiffin boxes. We used to get
30 minutes recess and it was all about chit-chats and food. Tiffin box was
always a surprise, and my mother made sure that every time it was a happy one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We (my
brother and myself) never got bread butter or jam butter in our tiffin box, it
was always about paratha subji as mother believed that only paratha subji can
suffice our hunger and give all the good energy for school. It was mostly plain
paratha with any sukhi (dry) subji- <i><a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/aloo-ki-sabjidry-potato.html" target="_blank">aloo ki subji</a></i>, <i><u><a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/patta-gobi-mutter-subji-cabbage-and.html" target="_blank">pata gobi ki subji</a></u></i>, <i><u><a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/sukhi-gobi-mattardry-cauliflower-and.html" target="_blank">gobi matar </a></u></i>and <i><u><a href="http://merrytummy.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/beans-ki-subji-indian-style-beans-stir.html" target="_blank">beans subji.</a></u></i><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

did she put in it? She replied-<i>kuch bhi
nahi (</i>nothing). The simplicity of the subji makes it extraordinary. No
onion, no ginger, no garlic, no garam massala- just 3 spices and get ready in

important that you wash okra well. Make sure it is completely dry before you
chop it and cook it. If the okra is not dry it will become mushy.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">You can use
amchur powder (dry mango powder) or dahi (yogurt/curd) instead of lemon juice.</span></div>
