Mini Fajitas ~ One-Bite Appetizers for Parties

For the final day of BM#54, under One Bite Appetizers, I have a mini version of Fajitas. Well you might question me on how these would be termed as Fajitas. I could have called them Quesadilla, somehow Fajitas stuck and I was not ready to change. I was remembering the mini versions that were served during Vaishali's son reception that we went a year back. The starters were so many that we simply could not even taste all that was being served....

Paneer Croissants | How to make Paneer Croissant Sticks

For the second day of Bite size Appetizers, I have a Stuffed Paneer Croissants. These are not your flaky buttery croissants, rather yeasted rolls. However these warm rolls are just right to lighten your time, when you are enjoying time party. In spite of blending in the paneer into the dough, I also stuffed it spiced up, to ensure you get the spicy cheesy dig when you bite into it. Apart from paneer, I had ideas of stuffing cheese cubes. Then...

Tadka Dal | Dhaba Style Mix Dal Fry

For the second day of cooking Lentil in 3 different way, I have yet another Tadka dal. I know you must be wondering after having posted so many different dals, what more can I possible have! Even I thought so and was surprised that combining different dals, can get you such differently tasting and so delicious dals. Infact I had tough time deciding on what lentil recipe I could post. I had this teen dal recipe written in my dairy and seeing it...

Bikaneri Paratha | Dal Stuffed Bikaneri Paratha

We are starting the third week of BM#54. I will be cooking lentils in three different ways. Lentils provide all the protein to a vegetarian and one has to include all different dals in a meal, if one has to get the required protein intake. Though I have been a vegetarian for the best part of my life, I have never really given much importance to it. A year back I went on a severe exercise regime and ignored my diet. Result was ending up with bad...

Beerakaya Thokku Annam | Ridgegourd Peel Mixed Rice

I am getting back to Cooking with Cookbook Challenge after couple of weeks. Even with all plannings, we sometime face unexpected things and you are left with no choice but to stop doing something. I faced such a situation and even though I wanted to be prepared, I couldn't do it. So getting back to doing this after a gap and am glad I am getting back with a healthy, interesting rice dish. Interesting I say because one would not expect such...

No Bake Chocolate Lasagna ~ No Bake Dishes

For the second day of No Bake Dishes, I made a Chocolate Lasagna. The recipe was pretty long, however  I made over two days and I didn't find it so tough. The dessert ends up being very rich, so take caution on how you portion it.  Since I took them right off the fridge, the cups got misted and I couldn't clear it long enough for the kids to hold! Do check out the Nutella Chocolate Milkshake as well! No...
