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!!!

Ginger Garlic Pan Fried Salmon

 I love asian flavours so wanted to try mixing my favourite simple ingredients to create a delicious east recipe… the kids loved it and asked for seconds..



Ingredients

4 fillets of salmon
2 spring onions sliced
1/2 inch ginger thinly sliced
2 garlic pods thinly sliced
1 tbsp light soy sauce 
1/2 tsp white pepper 
2 tbsp Sesame oil

For the marinade

1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp red chilli flakes
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste
1 tbsp sesame oil 
1/2 tsp black pepper powder

Method:

1. Marinade the salmon and keep aside for atleast 30 mins.. the soy sauce should season the salmon but if needed add salt.

2. Heat sesame oil in a pan, once hot place the salmon skin down and fry till the skin in crisp. Turn lightly and cook salmon for 1 minute either side. Don’t overcook as salmon cooks quickly and if overcooked will start to flake. 

3. Remove the salmon. In the same pan add the chopped ginger garlic and toss. Add in the leftover marinade , stir in the white pepper and soy sauce. Taste and season if required. Turn heat off and mix in the spring onions. 

4. Pour the sauce over the salmon fillets. 

I served the salmon with egg noodles which were tossed on sesame oil and spring onions. I ask steamed pak Choi and tossed it in sesame oil, soy sauce and garlic powder.
