The idea of mince served in lettuce bowls is pretty neat and can be expanded to all sorts of things being served in lettuce cups ... from scrambled tofu to legume stir-fries.

It was a great experience and the jam which was a result of several modified recipes, turned out quite nice; almost like a chutney with a spicy undertone. It wasn't very difficult reaching the dreaded 'gel point' either.

The typical Halwa like the one Mum makes, takes anywhere between 2-6 hours simmering away on the stove. Thanks to modern technology [microwave] and a lot of laziness [me], I have conjured up my own version of the "Microwave Gajar Ka Halwa". It takes 20 minutes to cook and if you practice it enough number of times, it tastes as good as the lengthy procedure version, I swear!!

This one was an experiment that was a huge success, took me just 8 minutes to make and was glorious, gratifying and delicious ... a perfect mithai/barfi for that special occasion. I made it last night for Raksha Bandhan and there is hardly any left.

The reds of the raspberry and greens of the pistachios looks like fresh red spring blossoms dotted with tiny green leaves. I made this truly visual treat over Father's Day Weekend and it was lapped up, crumbs and all only 20 minutes into our picnic. Its that good!

It is egg-free, buttery and oh so crumbly ... I like to cut it into neat square slices and store in an airtight box for a handy afternoon treat.

This recipe will have you making delightfully soft, fluffy and oh so delicious khaman dhoklas instantly. And since they are made of "Rawa" [Semolina], they are healthier than their Nylon Khaman counterparts which happen to be made up entirely of "Besan" [Gram/Chickpea Flour]. Make these dhoklas for your next potluck or picnic and watch them disappear.

There were heaps of fruits and toppings to choose from, we chose fresh strawberries with whipped cream and chocolate sauce and were instantly hooked. The snaking line at the stall was too long and we were running late, or else we would've surely returned for a second helping. We figured that something so good needed to be made everyday, so I got this beautiful, genuine cast-iron Poffertje pan off ebay and proceeded to wow my family with platefuls of puffed, golden goodness topped with chopped bananas and caramel sauce with nuts, fresh ice-cream, maple syrup, strawberries .... ahhh stop me someone, I am in love!

The recipe is simple and is easily made from staples in your fridge and pantry. I tweaked it a bit by adding daal masala and increasing the cooking time on low heat. The original recipe suggests pressure cooking, a process that I skipped.
