Paneer (Indian cottage cheese) is my absolute favourite. I can have paneer in any shape or form. But paneer curry is my fav, and I keep trying to reinvent it all the time.

Spaghetti with garlic & peanuts aka Spaghetti Aglio e Olio

This is one of the easiest & tastiest comfort food recipes that I am so happy to have in my repertoire. I wasn't sure if I should share this recipe as it’s too easy & not really curry based, however a lot of you liked my earlier spaghetti recipe, so I thought I should share this one. Now you might not enjoy the combination of garlic & peanuts drenched in olive oil, but if you are like me you will fall in love with this combination. Ingredients: 8-10 Garlic cloves- sliced ¼ Cup Olive oil Spaghetti ( as much as you like, I use a big handful for two people) ¾ Cup roasted peanuts or ground peanut powder 2-3 tsp. Chill flakes (Adjust to your taste) Salt & water to cook the pasta Black pepper & Cheese (optional) for garnishing Method: In a large pot add about a liter of water, bring it to a boil, add 2-3 tbsp salt depending on the amount of pasta you want to make. Simultaneously, in a small pan ad...

Lasuni Methi or Fenugreek leaves cooked with garlic

Okay so a lot of people will scream at the thought of eating fenugreek leaves, but they are my absolute fav vegetable. My Mom makes the best methi sabji, I cannot recreate it although I have tried many times, so now I have my own version. Ingredients: 1 packet frozen methi leaves (I get these from my local Indian grocery store) 1 Bulb of Garlic, the more the better 1 Onion finely chopped 2 Dry Red Chillies 1.4 tsp. Turmeric powder 1 tbsp. Coriander powder 1 tbsp. Goda or Garam Masala 2 tbsp. Oil Water for cooking Salt to taste Method: Remove the methi packet from the freezer 15-20 mins before adding to the dish. I actually add the leaves to a pot and add boiling water and keep it aside till I work on the masala. I drain the water half way through. finely chop the onion. finely chop the garlic cloves. In a pan heat the oil. Add red chillies and onions and sautee for 5 mins, or unt...

Aloo Tikki or Potato Cutlets

On lazy rainy or cosy wintry days my heart desires spicy Indian street food. When it rains I religiously make some fried pakoras, but if I have more time and its nice and cold outside, like it is these days in Australia, I make some spicy Aloo Tikki's or Potato Patties. In India these are famous as ragda pattice , which is patties served with some yogurt and mint sauce, chopped onions and coriander. Try this simplified version that uses very little oil, as I promise you they will spice up your snack time. You can serve these with some Mint chutney or ketchup. I make a few extras and bring them to lunch. Stuff them in between burger rolls, lettuce and sliced tomatoes to make a healthy veggie burger. Do try and share all the good food from Nev's Kitchen!! Ingredients: Makes 8 Patties 3 Medium sized potatoes- Boiled and Mashed 3 Slices of soft white or brown bread 1½ tbsps. Ginger paste 1-2 tsps. each of...

Poor man's Tiramisu

So here is my take and may I say a healthy take on everyone's favourite "lift me up" dessert Tiramisu. It was one of those days when I needed kitchen therapy to relax. I whipped up this recipe and I love the way it's turned out. Coffee, cream and chocolate is my fav combination of all times, so what's there not to like about a tiramisu. Not everyone has all the ingredients for a Tiramisu at home so I used what I had on hand and it turned out great! So here goes: (Adjust all the ingredients as per your liking and depends on how may glasses you are making) 1/2 Cup Greek yogurt 2-3 tsp. Vanilla essence 2 tbsp. Cocoa powder 6 Chocolate or Vanilla Cream wafer biscuits 2 tbsp Instant coffee Hot water 2 glasses Strawberries to garnish (optional) Whipped cream (optional) Method: ...

Slice Cake from My Childhood

Do you guys remember the Monginis slice cake that was available back in India? It was one of the most delicious little thing that I used to love, as I never liked the frosting or icing on cakes. I still don't have a sweet tooth, unlike Mr. N, so for me cakes like these are perfect treats. I was having coffee one day at home, and I wanted something with it. Of course if you live or have been to Australia, you will know Tim Tam's work perfectly with a cuppa, but I wasn't looking for anything chocolaty. That's when my taste buds went back to the Monginis Slice Cake....Yellow with Brown borders, nicely sealed in small packets, ready to go. So I Googled and found a few recipes, experimented with a couple & I think I am ready to share it with all you foodies. Once I made it I was so happy & smug that I know I will be making this for my kids and it will be my signature cake, the same way I associate time spen...

Fat Labrador Cafe - A unique find in a bustling city like Pune!

It’s been six months since I relocated from Melbourne to Pune, and as I am slowly getting a hang of things in India, getting my confidence back, being fearless while crossing the road, having all my senses on high alert at all times, the one thing that I have been on the lookout for is GOOD COFFEE. Now everyone’s definition of good coffee varies, but since I am a self-proclaimed coffee snob , good coffee for me means the name of the coffee should match the actual drink served. So, if it’s a cappuccino it can’t be a latte, an espresso can’t be a long black, you catch the drift. Now India is predominantly a Chai or Tea loving country, so there are chai lounges, tapri’s (around the corner shops), tea cafes everywhere, that serve all varieties of tea. Coffee is still just an item on the menu, at most of the restaurants and cafes, to tick the box. So, if you see Coffee on the menu, it means a packet of instant coffee, mixed with hot milk and served with or without sugar, as...

Ho Chi Minh Vietnam Food Journey

Ho Chi Minh or Saigon hits you with a scattering of mopeds, taxis, small shops, eateries, and simple people, with a huge language barrier. You would think that English would be their first language, however apart from being left hand drive, and a coffee drinking nation: there are no traces of being ruled by an English speaking country, or they have consciously eliminated any traces of ghoulish American invasion. However, despite the chaos, and communication barrier, the city makes you feel at home! My food journey in this capital city of Vietnam, left my taste buds ever so refreshed, and wanting more. Here's a very quick tour of where we ate and what we ate. But before we begin let me tell you that Ban Minh, and the Bun are not the only things this country has to offer. Before I went I read a lot of blogs, and all they mentioned were the buns. To tell you the truth, we didn't even have the Bun as our first meal, as there are loads of other better, healthier, opti...

Chocolate fudge with Jaggery or Chocolate Chikki

I often wondered how easy or difficult it would be to make home made fudge, or what is popularly know as Chikki in India. Well I googled a few things and experimented a few times,failed the first time, but this one is a winner. Now traditionally, chikki is a crisp coating of jaggery, which is a raw and healthier form of sugar, that coats nuts of different kinds. Chikki literally means sticky, which is how it is at room temperature. My favorite is Cashew nut Chikki. Chikki is orginally a delicay from Lonavala, which is a valley town, that during monsoons is covered in mist and fog that is just; oh so romantic. Anyways I will tell you all about it some other time. So as I was making treats for Ganesh festival, I thought why should adults have all the fun, why dont I make something that is visually appealing and tasty to eat for kids. So here's presenting heart shaped chocolate chikki fudge. Ingredients: 1cup Jaggery or Gud 1cup mixed nu...
