Cabbage and Spinach Rolls

Holidays are all about spending quality time with friends and family. It’s also about food…cooking and eating comfort food. For me it’s a good time to experiment in my kitchen and try some new recipes.

I love serving starters. It gives me some time to chit chat with friends and to reheat the food as well.
Most of the times starters are store bought… you just can’t beat the convenience of store bought starters. But when time permits then I do make my own starters. Cabbage and spinach rolls are perfect for starters. These are easy to make, no exact measurements are required and you can fill anything that you wish to.

I usually make the cabbage and spinach rolls night before and just the time before my guests arrive, I pan fry them.



Ingredients

Cabbage and wild spinach leaves (Washed and wiped)

Cottage cheese (crumbled) 1 cup

Onion (finely chopped) 1 medium sized

Spring onion shoots (chopped) 2-3 shoots

Garlic (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves

Red chili powder 2 teaspoons

Tomato ketchup 1 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Chili oil

Toothpicks


Filling

Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a pan. To this add chopped onions and garlic. Fry till brown.
Add ketchup, red chili powder, salt and spring onion shoots. Add cottage cheese to this and give a good stir. Keep the filling aside to let it cool.



Making Rolls

Roll the cottage cheese stuffing up into each cabbage leaf. Secure the rolls with a toothpick. Watch your fingers while you do so. Same is to be done for the spinach rolls. Spinach leaves are little tender so roll them carefully. Trim the hanging edges.


Sizzling Time

Heat oil on a non stick flat pan. Once the oil starts smoking, place these rolls on the pan. Cook the rolls two minutes on each side.  Serve these rolls either with some chutney or just like that…compliments will surely roll in.

  9. Awesome recipe for a starter. Most starters are deep fried in oil. A nice recipe which is not fried yet makes up for a great starter!

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. One international call, jotted the recipe on back of the grocery bill and decided to make it instantly. --> Ingredients Bitter Gourd/ Karela 2 Chopped onions (1 medium size) Chopped tomatoes (2 medium size) Crus

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

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
