Paneer stuffed Cauliflower Kofta Curry | Side dish for Chapathi. I love koftas based gravies, and whenever we dine out I make it a point to order it as a side dish. As hubby is not fond of it I dont order it often, now the fact that my lil one loves it and I've a company and have been ordering it often. The one I tasted recently in Annapurna Gowrishankar was a different white based gravy(with milk, cashew paste and cream) and I totally luved it, I will surely try to recreate it and post it. From the day I saw the cauliflower kofta curry in Raks Kitchen I wanted to try it. She has well explainatory stepwise pictures but still my queries were endless as usual. Though everything is self explained, when the chef is ur friend why not take advantage of it ;) Ha ha hope she doesnt kick me. Even before she posted, when she mentioned about this gravy with broccoli I was way too tempted as its my fav veggie. Ingredients: For Kofta: Makes 10-12 kofta balls For Gravy Serves 3 Method: For the koftas : For the gravy: My Notes:

Oven Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Tempeh | Wishful Chef. We didn’t eat Brussels sprouts growing up, but after moving back to the East Coast they quickly became one of my favorite seasonal vegetables. I typically roast them in the oven which makes the outside crispy and brown, while the inside stays nice and tender. This time, I cooked the Brussels sprouts with tempeh (a soy product made from whole soybeans) and added a few cloves of garlic. Tempeh is a good source of protein and fiber and can be prepared in many ways. You can find it at most health food stores or grocery stores like Whole Foods.

I used a three grain variety but any type of tempeh would work just as fine. If you don’t have tempeh, you can easily use potatoes as a substitute. Wash, then cut Brussels sprouts in half and tempeh into cubes. Evenly toss all ingredients together and bake for about 30 minutes. Brussels Sprouts and Tempeh Recipe.

Carrots. Alchemy in The Kitchen - Simple Ingredients, Magical Food: Sweetcorn and Feta Pies – Accidentally Vegetarian. I am becoming an accidental vegetarian. While I cannot see myself giving up steak or bacon completely, there are so many meatless meals to be discovered. For me, a successful vegetarian dish is when I eat something that is so delicious that I don’t notice the absence of meat. My beloved doesn’t believe a meal is complete without some form of animal on the plate, so finding meatless meals that satisfy a carnivorous household is a challenge. With the garden in full production at the moment, there are herbs aplenty and a forest of salad leaves, helping me to meet the meatless task half-way. Delicious hot or cold, they are a great way of sneaking vegetables past the kids, or making a chic, recession-proof office lunch. For 4 pies you will need... ... to pre-heat the oven to 190°C 2 sheets of all butter ready-rolled puff pastry, thawed 100g tinned sweetcorn kernels 100g feta cheese, roughly mashed 50g fresh spinach, washed, dried and finely shredded 4 spring onions, finely chopped 1 egg, beaten.

Baked Green Bean Fries with Roasted Garlic Dipping Sauce. Do you ever find yourself in one of those moments where you just have no idea what to do next and you find yourself unable to do anything at all? That is exactly what happens to me when I am trying to plan meals for the week. Especially when I don’t have a lot of time and I need to go to the grocery store. That was the scenario a few weeks ago. It was Sunday afternoon, and I was sitting on the couch with my hubby (He was watching baseball… I was not.) trying to come up with a meal plan so that I could run to the grocery store and get the shopping for the week out of the way.

It was a good idea in theory. But, I stared at a blank piece of paper for about an hour and a half. Since it was close to dinnertime, I finally came to terms with the fact that I wouldn’t be getting my grocery shopping done. That “light bulb” moment was all that I needed… I immediately got to work blanching the green beans, setting up breading stations, and roasting garlic for a dipping sauce. For the fries: Sweet Chili Green Beans. Happy Friday everybody! I'm so ready for the weekend (I've got to work Saturday morning, but it ain't no thang!). We've got a couples bridal shower to go to, so that should be fun. And then some major relaxation is in the works for Sunday and Monday! Now I used to think I had a favorite green bean recipe. I mean, it's all the rage on Food52, too. But my friends, I think there's a new contender in town.

This was so good I ate it with my hands. Ingredients: 1 lb. green beans, trimmed 4 strips of bacon, chopped 1 onion, thinly sliced 1-inch piece of ginger, peeled and minced 3 thai chiles, minced 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce 1 teaspoon fish sauce 1/4 c. water sesame oil, optionaltoasted black sesame seeds, optional Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

Zucchini. Potatoes. Mixed. Beguni- Batter Fried Eggplants. Featured in the Delicious Links in The Kitchn. Here we are waiting and praying for a few drop of rain. The earth is cracking in deep veins, dry and thirsty.The cool summer green has given way to patches of yellow and brown and an inexplicable stillness in the air. The scorching sun at 100 degrees and above, has been beating down on Texas for the past two months without mercy. But the monsoons had arrived in India while we were there, the rain and the clouds bringing in relief and transforming the heat into a soothing, calming green - The rains also made our trip comfortable, Chittorgarh Fort, Rajasthan India and less tiring. Hotel Udai Kothi – Udaipur, Rajasthan India and Begunis are inseparable from the monsoon lyrics in Bengal.

The thunder marched in like a drum roll, followed by the drizzle which soon turned into a steady downpour satiating the thirsty earth. We had the entire day to spend together doing nothing but severe mischief. The rain at home feels quiet different. Related Posts: How to love Brussel Sprouts. I never grew up with brussel sprouts, I never had to endure a miserable soggy boiled sprout that was forced upon me, just so I could leave the table. My sprout memories are good, in fact I have great sprout stories of crunchy, flavoursome, good looking sprouts that I can't get enough of. And for this reason, our sixth food fight was decided. I wanted other people to experience sprout fever, which is happening in my house at the moment. Vanessa actually introduced me to this super fast and simple dish and during sprout season, this is my 'go to' for when I need to whip up dinner in a hurry.

Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups. I should really rename this post “Baked Eggs in Tomato Cups and Sometimes Being Spontaneous Is Not A Good Idea”. For some of you who may know, about a month ago I moved to the New England area to begin a new one-year fellowship. And, while I absolutely loved the material I was working with and learning about from 6:45 am to 5 pm at night, going home was not fun.

Because, as I soon found out, my little 400 square-foot-ish apartment had a few unwelcome visitors…I had a mouse infestation. My two cats, Cosmo and Jinxie, quickly became mouse-killing machines, even taking up their “posts” diligently each night (Cosmo took the couch area, and Jinxie took the area near the stove). There were also several other major issues with this apartment as well, concerns about my safety (having people barge into your apartment unannounced can be a little unnerving to someone who lives alone) were at the top of the list.

But, as I went home everyday, I realized I wasn’t happy. Which is why I love you. 1. 2.
