Carrot Raita

I don’t have much to write about this recipe except that it’s an easy to go raita for any night of the week. It takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. Most importantly, it’s full of incredibly fresh and clean flavour; it tastes indulgent, and is bursting with nutrients.




Ingredients

Shredded carrots 1 cup
Low fat yogurt 1 cup
Ground black pepper ½ tea spoon
Chopped green chilli peppers 2
Salt as per taste
Coriander leaves handful
Oregano herb ½ teaspoon


Directions

Boil shredded carrots so that it becomes tender.

Beat the yogurt to get smooth consistency. Add salt, black pepper, Chopped green chillies, and oregano. Mix well.

Add carrots. Mix well again.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves. Serve chill.

Punjabi Karela Sabzi

Here’s this bitterly sweet recipe that I've been dying to share with you. As a kid there was this one veggie that I have always found super intimidating was – Bitter Gourd. As years have grown by, I have started liking mom’s Punjabi style karela recipe. Mom was behind me to use it on a regular basis as it helps in controlling blood sugar levels. Did I ever mention that she made me drink bitter gourd juice every morning on an empty stomach to control my blood sugars? Actually it helps. It has plant insulin which brings down your sugar levels. Back to the recipe…I saw it…I grabbed it....and then I got home, and didn't really know what to do with it. I have always eaten at my Delhi home but never made it myself. Googled but wasn’t very sure.

Smoked Vegetable Biryani

I have to admit that when I’m cooking something new, I aim to post the recipe here. But luck doesn’t always favor. Either the picture is not satisfactory or we are too impatient to wait for the photo session to get over or the dish itself disappoints me. I have to admire the food bloggers, who are so regular in posting new recipes with beautiful looking pictures. Anyway, I’m glad to post a new recipe here after getting convinced that this biryani is the best that I have ever made.  The biryani features many of the same ingredients that I have used all these years but the end result is entirely different. I thought it would be fun to show that with the simple addition of charcoal, you can take the recipe to an entirely new direction. This recipe is my aunt’s, who learnt it ages ago while doing her home science course. She then passed the recipe to all her sisters and that’s how I got to learn how to cook vegetable biryani. The only change/ addition that I made was th

Diabetic Friendly Eggless Chocolate Cake

After visiting a sugar free chocolate studio, I was really inspired to bake something on my own. Chocolate cake seemed to be the best way to start. Ditching the traditional way of making sweets and savories for Vijaya Dashmi, I baked a cake for hubby and a small group of Indian friends.   Ingredients All purpose flour 1 cup Salt ½ teaspoon Baking powder 1 teaspoon Baking soda 2 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder ½ cup Sugar substitute – 6 teaspoons Vegetable Oil – 1 cup (I used sunflower oil) Milk – ½ cup Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon White sugar free chocolate 1 slab Method Preheat the oven to 160C Sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and sugar substitute into a large mixing bowl. Add vanilla extract, oil and milk. With an electric mixer, beat at medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes. Grease the baking pan with oil and flour. Pour the batter evenly into the baking pans. Place the pan on the middle shelf and bake for 20 to 2
