<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Up until now I have never baked any sort of bread at home ...I always thought of it as something requiring a great deal of skill and long hours of kneading and proofing ......It just seemed so much simpler to walk into a store and pick up what you need!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Well all that changed after my first attempt at making pizza crust at home from scratch ....this is a fool proof recipe and it is so easy ......and I realized that nothing ...yes nothing compares to a pizza crust made at home from scratch .....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I am a convert ....I will never buy buy any store bought pizza crust ever again!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The cast of characters.......simple enough ingredients that create magic!!</div>

<br />
A little extra flour to dust work surface<br />
<br />
Some parchment paper to line baking tray ( I dint have any :( )<br />
<br />
Directions :<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients ...stir till it all comes together to form a very sticky dough ...should look like the picture below.<br />
<br />
Leave to rise in a dark warm place covered with a soft cloth or cling film for 18 hours....yes 18 hours :)<br />

<br />
After rising and proofing for 18 hours this is what your dough should look like....all bubbly and springy and it does double n triple in size so make sure u start with a large enough container ....<br />

I have recently become obsessed with Middle Eastern & Persian food ......Lebanese, Turkish( ok I know Turkey is not a middle eastern but a European country ), Morrocan food!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Juicy kebabs moist and tender served on beds of aromatic rice with fragrant mint and cool slices of cucumber and tomatoes ....</div>

For years Iv walked past vegetable vendors selling this queer looking vegetable and wondered what it could be!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkUafPLpk8rRaUcRmFddSeYsXF_SDNeD44U5Uj4GIdsqt9WnOdXlOdOrNG44f3xA3ZuyCe1A9YgJmpbSovbkIFB-bbsppH2gj-92woE8Gegxyx-Oc4G5VXiKzRpR20GJFo0F2uYgmKJ0/s1600/2950676045_4b44c9a125_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGkUafPLpk8rRaUcRmFddSeYsXF_SDNeD44U5Uj4GIdsqt9WnOdXlOdOrNG44f3xA3ZuyCe1A9YgJmpbSovbkIFB-bbsppH2gj-92woE8Gegxyx-Oc4G5VXiKzRpR20GJFo0F2uYgmKJ0/s640/2950676045_4b44c9a125_z.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally this year I stopped and asked the gentleman what he was selling and how its cooked! He told me its called sagar methi and that it grows inside the <i>samundar</i> ...under the sea ( I highly doubt that) ....and that its very popular all along coastal Maharashtra & Goa specially during the winter months ...and that it tastes amazing...and has several health benefits<br />
<br />
So ofcourse the adventurous eater that I am I bought some and was I glad I did!!! This is like a mini power packed version of methi.....its sprouted baby methi and it has a very strong bitter methi taste which is amazing it goes so well with the fresh coconut and lemon juice that this recipe calls for......<br />
<br />
Heres what you need to do:<br />
<br />
<br />
Its not really a recipe you just need to trust your instincts....<br />
<br />
Wash the bundles really well....<br />
<br />

<br />
When everything is a little brown and cooked add the washed and cut sagar methi.<br />
<br />

<br />
Then add fresh grated coconut. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes.<br />

<br />
In the end add a generous squeeze of lemon juice ....this cuts out the bitterness of the methi.<br />
<br />
Serve hot!<br />

<div>
But chocolate fudge holds a very special place in my heart.....it always reminds me of Lonavla ....I remember so many drives to Lonavla where my only motivation to go was the box of chocolate fudge Id get back from Lonavla....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I remember buying only one box since in my head im always on a diet and thinking okay ill eat one piece the rest ill share with my sister , parents and friends back home ....and I have ALWAYS finished everything on the drive back and thrown the empty box out of the car window .....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I decided Id rather make this at home and that way atleast everyone around will get to sample some!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was my first attempt at making any sort of fudge! I was very pleased with the results and this took just 5 minutes to put together .....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Thats fabulous and also very dangerous for a sugar-addict like me!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway to the recipe now</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Add everything except the walnuts to a microwave safe bowl . Put inside the microwave for 2-3 minutes .....bring out the bowl after every minute and stir ...this ensures uniform melting and temperature rise!</div>
<div>

At the end of 2-3 minutes you should have a homogeneous chocolate like mixture ....</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Stir in the walnuts. </div>

Ramzan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and is observed as a month of fasting .......fasting is endured from dawn to sunset ......according to Islam there are rewards to be reaped from fasting but in the holy month of ramadan rewards are believed to be multiplied!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Close to sunset at around 4 pm the fun begins as people start coming to make shift food bazars to pick up food to take home to break their fasts!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

Entire streets get converted into floodlit buffet markets...buzzing with people , smoke from the tandoor as kebabs sizzle and crackle on open charcoal flames.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One such street is Kausar Baug , near NIBM . From the outside it all looks a little too crowded and gastronomically risky....but the adventurous eater that I am I couldnt resist!</div>

<br />
<br />
By the end of the evening I ended up being good friends with Salim Bhai because the whole time we were there I just kept going<br />
back for more and more. The halwa is a regular sooji ka halwa but it tastes fantastic ...I normally stay away from anything that is such a bright shade of orange .....he obviously uses artificial food color but its so fantastic when eaten with this ginormously huuugeee paratha thats flaky with so many layers. The halwa is kept warm by coals that burn under the lovely silver tray and decorated with tuti-fruity and makhane and dessicated coconut and overly sweetened cherries :))<br />
<br />
So Salim Bhai is an absoulte pro when it comes to halwa paratha ...hes been doing this for around 30 years he couldnt really remeber exactly how many years when I asked him and this is all he does after Ramzan he will take a break for 10-15 days n then set up his stall in Bombay and from there to other cities in India! Thats a pretty cool job and lots of good karma what with selling such insanely good food!<br />
<br />
So this is how the parathas made ....</td></tr>

I love cupcakes and for the longest time I have been looking for a good enough reason to make some at home!<br />
<br />
Last week I had 2 very special people come over and what better than to bake and serve some cupcakes?<br />
<br />
I was pretty happy with how they turned out considering this was my first attempt at making cupcakes at home!<br />
<br />
So here they are ..........<br />

<br />
<b><i><u>Vanilla Bean cupcakes ( Makes around 12-14 )</u></i></b><br />
<br />
85 g plain flour + 1 1/4 tsp baking powder<br />
<br />
70 g plain flour<br />
<br />
110 g softened butter<br />
<br />
120 g caster sugar ( I ground some regular sugar)<br />
<br />
2 eggs at room temperature<br />
<br />
1/2 cup milk<br />
<br />
Scraped insides of half a vanilla bean / 1/2 tsp vanilla essence<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Mix the first two ingredients ...both the dry flours and keep aside.<br />
<br />
2. Cream butter and sugar till fluffy and smooth around 3-5 minutes.<br />
<br />
3. Add eggs and vanilla.<br />
<br />
4. Add dry flours , in batches of 3 alternating with milk.<br />
<br />
5. Beat till everything is well combined.<br />
<br />
6. Line cupcake moulds with cupcake liners and fill only half way up else when they rise and bake they tend to spill over.<br />
<br />
7. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 170 C or until done.<br />
<br />
8. Cool on wire rack completely before you frost.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><u>Chocolate frosting </u></i></b><br />
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b><br />
160 g caster sugar (again I just used ground regular sugar)<br />
<br />
55 g butter ( I used salted Amul butter )<br />
<br />
45- 50 g dark chocolate<br />
<br />
20 ml milk<br />
<br />
5ml vanilla essence<br />
<br />
<br />
Melt chocolate in a double boiler.<br />
<br />
Mix butter and sugar till light and fluffy....... add melted chocolate , milk and vanilla beating till well blended.<br />
<br />
<br />
Frost cupcakes just an hour before serving. Store in refrigerator once frosted and remember to bring them out 20 minutes before serving as the frosting tends to harden in the refrigerator so keep it outside for a bit for the right texture!<br />
<br />
<br />
Hold your breath and take a bite! :)))<br />

Some pairs are made in heaven strawberries - cream, wine - cheese , Champagne - caviar and one that I've known about for a while but tried for the first time yesterday and loved Prawns and Okra<br />
<br />
This is a great smooth curry .....full bodied and so flavorful and somehow the okra stays crunchy despite being cooked in the curry for a while!<br />
<br />
This recipe is something I picked up from the sweet cook at the home-stay we lived in during our last visit to Goa ......<br />
<br />
So here goes!<br />

Ruby red , crunchy , sweet and sour all at once these pickled onions were a standard accompaniment to all Indian /Punjabi meals that you ate in restaurants in the 90s .<br />

For some reason I dont see them so much these days but I love them so I decided to make them . A little bit of trial and error this recipe worked the best just like the sirke walle pyaaz at Kumar Sweets in Dehradoon.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The first time I tried making these I just put onions in vinegar but that resulted in only a very slight pink color and not such a great taste! I guess thats how American pickled onions are made ......since thats all I could find on the internet .<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But this recipe is perfect....the secret to getting a nice full bodied color is the beetroot! :)<br />
<br />
<i><b><u>Sirke walle pyaaz</u></b></i><br />
<b><i><u><br /></u></i></b><br />
Onions (the tiny kind ) : 100 grams cleaned ...I used sambar onions<br />
Regular White Vinegar : 1/2 cup<br />
Peppercorn : 7<br />
Bay leaf : 1<br />
Sugar : 2 teaspoons<br />
Salt: to taste<br />
Beetroot : 1/2 of one small beetroot<br />
<br />
Boil vinegar along with sugar , peppercorns , bay leaf , sugar and salt for around 5 minutes .<br />
Add thinly sliced beetroot.<br />
As soon as you add the beetroot vinegar will change color to a ruby red . Boil for another 2-3 minutes.<br />
<br />
Put clean dry onions in a clean dry glass bottle . Strain the red vinegar solution into the glass bottle . Add a few pieces of the beetroot that you strained out into the bottle as well.<br />
<br />
Keep in the fridge . Eat after 24 hours , gets better with time as onions loose their sharpness .Keeps well for 2-3 weeks as long as it dosent come in contact with water!</div>Aditihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11317171200689717559noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7387599972325053640.post-57784587211617083412012-05-17T09:37:00.003-07:002012-05-17T09:37:55.156-07:00Julia Child<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

I think every foodie, food blogger should watch it! Of course I wish it had more about the life of Julia Child but it was a great watch none the less. In fact this movie has inspired so many people to start writing their own food blogs.</div>
