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!!!

Grilled Baby Aubergines

This is a healthy side dish or can be a quick lunch on its own.. the colours and flavours are pleasing to the eyes and palate.




Ingredients

6-8 baby aubergines, slit in half
2-3 garlic pods, grated
1 red onion , cut in quarters
6-8 tender stem broccoli
6-8 baby corn, slit in half
Cherry tomatoes, I used different coloured varieties
1 red pepper, sliced
Olive oil
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
Mixed herbs
Salt and pepper


Method:

1.  In a bowl mix all the ingredients, season well.

2. In a preheated oven cook for 15-20 mins. You might need to keep an eye and remove the tomatoes and vegetables that are cooked before the aubergines.

3. If you like feta cheese you can add this as well a few mins before removing from the oven.

Serve warm.


I served this along with kebabs and roast potatoes , the girls really enjoyed it.
