RAJASTHANI BADI HARI MIRCH KI SABZI

Hari Mirch ki sabzi

 

My husband is so fond of spice and green chilli that he often gets this big green chilli and likes it as a sabzi for roti and doesn’t take it like achar / pickle.  Sometimes, I wonder how one can have so many green chillies at one go.  I took this recipe from Nisha Mudhulika’s webside and didn’t make much changes since the ingredients and spices used by her were simple and minimal.  So, without altering the ingredients, I made this sabzi and my hubby liked it so much that he finished about 12 chillies at one go.

CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH TRUFFLE ICING

Chocolate CakeChocolate Cake 1

 

During my daughter’s vacation she kept nagging me to make some cake and choose this one from the Nita Mehta’s cook book.  A very simple and chocolaty cake with oodles of chocolate icing that no kid would be able to resist it.  I used canola oil for this cake.

OATS DOSA

Oats Rava Dosa

 

A quick dosa recipe with oats which does not require any fermentation.  This dosa can be made in a jiffy with a very few ingredients and tastes really good.  My daughter love this dosa and hence I make it quite often. 

KATRIKAI GOTSU

Gotsu is a simple condiment / accompaniment that goes well with arisi upma (broken rice upma) or ven pongal.  The smoky, spicy and tangy flavour of gotsu is so right for pain ven pongal which doesn’t have too much of flavour except pepper and cumin.

GREEN CHUTNEY

Green Chutney

 

Green chutney, also called as mint-coriander or hari chutney is a very simple condiment which goes well with almost everything… paranthas, puris, salads, pulao, chaats and the list can go on and on.   My daughter can have anything with this chutney and most of the time I make this especially for her, with subtle variation.  Sometimes, I make it using onion at times with garlic or just coriander and coconut with chilli, amchur powder and black salt.
