    This is yet another creation of Biji ammai – simple, quick and yummy. What set it apart from the normal lentil preparation is the usage of Zucchini. If you don’t have Zucchini you can use pumpkin instead! Don’f forget to give me a feedback post you cook :)

    We got to taste the yummy Shrimp Pulao made by our vegetarian aunt at Haren a small town with 23k population located in Germany. Its amazing how despite being a pure vegetarian some one can prepare a non vegetarian dish with such ease and taste.

    This is quite an old trick and quick one too. One of the evenings at Scotland, Derek added to my newly found love for cheese. check out the crackers in the picture topped with cheese, fresh herbs (like cilantro, parsley,basil etc), tomatoes and cottage cheese*.

    Use you creativity by using olives, jalapenos, hummus etc

    Well, one thing both me and Q did all through our travel in Europe was to try out the local cuisine. Afterall food constitutes a major part to your whole travel experience. Derek a friend of our’s whom we met in Kerala made Scottish porridge for us when we visited him in Edinburgh – Scotland. It tastes different from the oatmeal porridge I am used to making. And I am definitely going to make this back home and why not??..variety only makes life interesting!

  • Potato Rosti Recipe

    Continental Recipes, Guest Kitchens, Quick | Easy Recipes 29.09.2009 No Comments

    roesti

    A snack or a side dish, you can have Rosti or Roesti as any one of the option. I learnt to prepare one from Maya whom I have already introduced to you in my last few recipe blogs. Things are fairly simple in the west as you get item semi cooked from the market. You put in rest half of the effort and you have delightful plate on your table. For example the potatoes that were used here in this receipe were picked ready made in packets from the super market. In India, to my knowledge it is not available hence we need to do things from scratch…but don’t worry you will like the end result :)

  • Raclette Recipe

    Continental Recipes, Contributions, Guest Kitchens, Quick | Easy Recipes 07.09.2009 No Comments

    raclette

    This recipe I picked up from my friends in stunning city of Nice in France. Thanks guys!

    The idea of using a Raclette machine might have originated to encourage or enjoy a single meal together with family and friends. Imagine the cheese getting melted on hot Raclette plates while you chit and chat sitting around it and in no time the cheese finds its way to your plate on top of the hot boiled vegetables in particular potatoes (Europeans love their potatoes!).
