Welcome to My Kitchen

I started cooking 20 years ago, and every day has been a new experience. You might not believe it but i was a person who could not fry an egg...but 20 years on..i feel i can take on any challenge.

I'm constantly trying out new recipes and looking for innovative ways to improvise my dishes and make it more easier. The easier the cooking gets and the less time it takes the more time for me to relax with my loved one.
But easy and quick does not mean compromise on taste or the way a dish is presented. I take great pride in decorating my dishes as i am a firm believer of ' The first impression counts'.

I decided to start this blog to help others like me discover that cooking a feast does not require slogging for hours in the kitchen all it requires is the right ingredients, tools and a creative mind and voila! you will have your family and guests begging for second helpings....

My inspiration for cooking has always been my husband...he loves his food..and like the saying goes 'A way to a man's heart is through his stomach'..i can confidently say it's true and it works wonders for a happy relationship...but he is also my best critic and competition.

I've got two little girls both who love to eat, and my eldest always enjoys helping me in the kitchen. I will try to post more kid friendly recipes that can be fun to eat and make together.

Hope you enjoy this blog and find it useful...please do feel free to leave any feedback or comments...remember there's always room for improvement!!!

Alle Belle - Goan Coconut/Jaggery Pancakes

This sweet dish is very popular in Goan homes as a tea time delight.


Ingredients:

1 cup of flour
1 egg
Salt for seasoning
Water to make a paste

For the filling

1 coconut grated finely
1/2 cup jaggery

Method:

1. In a bowl mix the flour, egg in little water into a thin pancake batter. Season as required.

2. Mix the grated coconut and jaggery thoroughly.

3. Heat a frying pan and when really hot, apply oil all over the pan and drop in a spoonful of batter and spread all over the frying pan (like a pancake). When the underside is well-done, flip over.

4. When done on both the sides, remove and place on a plate. Place the filling in the centre and form rolls.

5. Serve with a nice cup of tea.
