Beetroot Crisps

10 May

Helloo friends,

It’s been a while and feels good to be back .. I have an interesting recipe today. To be really honest, this was sort of an experiement. The other day, when I came back home after an evening walk, I got an idea to make something different out of what I bought that previous morning – beetroots. Now, normally I would make beetroot halwa (a dessert) anytime I buy these, but this time I thought why not make a snack out of these – and a spicy one at that πŸ˜‰ .. Put a few things together, mixed and fried and the result is a yummy crispy snack. Hope you check it out and give it a try!

Mint rice

18 Mar

Hey friends!

How is it going?

Have you ever wondered what to make when all you had was a bunch of mint at home?! .. Well, you can make a full meal with fresh mint and some basic indian cooking ingredients .. Mint rice, Mint Pulao, Green rice however you wanna call it, you gotta taste it to believe it πŸ˜‰

I make this all the time and it’s perfect for lunch boxes or for dinner..

And I must mention, the pictures do not do good justice to the taste. One has to taste it to enjoy the deliciousness, trust me! πŸ™‚

Black bean and Corn dip

23 Feb

Heyy all !!!

I am soo excited today to present you with a very, very easy and delicious recipe of a light evening meal or a perfect snack – a mexican inspired dip recipe (again!) .. you can easily say I love mexican πŸ™‚ .. especially dips and chips!!

I came across the idea of this recipe online when I was searching for dips when I had bell peppers, corn and black beans at home (and was not in the mood to make something exhausting). An awesome replacement for the spices was from the ladies at ‘showmethecurry’ who used taco seasoning .. so I stole that idea from them πŸ˜‰

Now let’s get into how it turns out to be, so you can decide for yourself if you want to go ahead check out the recipe πŸ™‚
