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!!!

Egg 65

 I keep seeing similar recipes on my insta feed so decided to try my version. It was tasty and definitely smelled and tasted like the non veg version.



Ingredients:

5 boiled eggs
1 tsp chopped ginger
1tsp chopped garlic 
1 green chilli chopped finely 
1/2 onion chopped finely
4-5 curry leaves chopped finely 
Handful freshly chopped coriander
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
1/2 tsp garam masala 
1/2 coarse pepper powder
2-3 tbsp gram flour/besan

For the sauce

1 onion chopped into thin slices
2 cloves chopped garlic 
2-3 green chillies slit
5-6 curry leaves
1/2 chilli powder
1-2 tbsp tomato ketchup 
Salt and pepper for seasoning

Method:

1. Remove the yolks from the boiled eggs and chop the white into tiny cubes. Discard the yolks as we won’t use them in this recipe. My kids enjoy eating these so no wastage :) 
2. Mix the whites in a bowl along with the main ingredients. It should turn into a nice batter consistency.
3. Heat oil in a kadai and fry the egg pakoras/fritters , you can use a spoon to dip the batter into the oil. Cook until golden brown. Keep aside.
4. In a wide wok, heat little oil and add the curry leaves onions, garlic and green chillies . Toss until it starts to give a lovely aroma. Add in the chilli powder and season well.
5. Add the egg fritters mix in tomato ketchup . Toss and sprinkle some freshly chopped coriander and  serve hot.

If you like it tangy sprinkle some lemon juice. This dish needs to be enjoyed whilst hot.
