So I thought, why not make a version even vegetarians can enjoy? So I tried it out a few times with some tweaks and changes, and this one time really took it home so I am posting it for you guys. Seekh kebabs are usually made with meat, but I promise you this one will make you fall in love with it! I am a huge fan of paneer starters, but my parents like kebabs so we usually end up ordering both when we go out to eat. But I really like it wrapped in butter kulcha along with some mint chutney and yoghurt. Several sites have recipes where they completely grind the veggies and make it into a paste. I personally didn't like it because it just tasted like paste. So I tried a different approach. I cooked the vegetables till they became tender and added them to my chickpea/potato mash. Using a cast iron pan ...

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Ads: 631975293 --> Potatoes are such a versatile vegetable. They pair well with a ton of dishes, make a perfect main or side. They are creamy, delicious and amazing with just about anything! When I make baked potatoes, I personally use baby potatoes as they have a slightly sweet flavour and are creamier(they even look cute😁). I first had baked potatoes in barbeque nation, and I CANNOT get over them. they are just so tasteful and delicious that I knew I had to recreate this at home. After 7-8 tries with the sauce trying various proportions out, I finally struck gold with this one. Trust me, you gonna love this one. In case you don't have baby potatoes available near you, you can also use large russet potatoes. Cut them in slices 3/4 of the way and add the sauce to elevate the experience.(like the picture below) Ingredients: 10 baby potatoes or 1 large potato per person For the sauce: 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1/3 cup hu...

And they are so easy to customize! blueberries, bananas, chocolate chips, strawberries, name it and you can top a pancake off with it. trendy pancakes in some places even add cereal to their pancakes!

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Ads: 631975293 --> Aromatic, flavourful and spicy, vegetable biryani is a vegetarian's paradise. I know, I know. Non-vegetarians are gonna come at me and say that if it doesn't have meat, it isn't biryani. But trust me, this vegetable biryani is as good as any other biryani. And you will LOVE it. My memory of a biryani(veg and non-veg) goes back to my childhood when I was a lover of spicy food and rice(I STILL AM). I won't brag about my mother making the "best biryani in the world", but she was pretty good at it. I remember the smell of caramelized onions wafting from the kitchen and I would run to my mother and beg her for some of the onion and gulkand she put aside for garnishing. I would steal a few cubes of cooked paneer on my way out, making sure mum never knew. But she knew. And when the biryani was finaalyy served( the moment I wait for since waking up), everything about it seemed heavenly. The ...
