Spring onion bhaji with besan, side dish for roti

Besan based Maharastrian style spring onion curry 

Spring onion bhaji| spring onion zunka,recipe with step by step pictures and video, a simple yet tasty dry curry made using spring onions and gram flour as the main ingredient. When i heard this recipe from a friend, i was so curious to try it out at home. It turned out so well and no one could make out that it is spring onion. Generally i don't buy spring onion much, as for indo chinese recipes, we use only a small portion and rest of them will get wasted. This besan based Spring onion bhaji can be made using capsicum, onion too.

PANEER METHI MAKHANI|SIDE DISH FOR ROTI

     Paneer Recipes are always a super hit at my place. When i saw this Paneer methi makhani recipe in Aipi’s space i tried it on the same day. I can say it is one of the best side dish for roti and i enjoyed the creamy texture of the gravy with the addition of evaporated milk in that. You can add fresh cream or full cream milk instead of evaporated milk. But if your get evaporated milk in your place, do try this with that. I have posted Paneer butter masala but this recipe is using paneer and fresh methi leaves. This gravy tastes well with roti but personally we prefer to have this with Kulcha.  Please check other paneer recipes from Jeyashri's kitchen.

SAVORY BUNS RECIPE | GARLIC BUNS

    After the successful attempt of baking Eggless choc chip muffin in my new oven i wanted to try something snack to pair with the evening tea. Without any second thought i attempted Savoury buns, which i got inspired from Bharathy of Spicy Chilly. When i saw them in Rak's space with the replacement of olive oil in the place of butter i tried it out from there with a small alteration. It turned out so well and i used only the all purpose flour ,you can replace half portion with wheat flour too.

Easy to make Semiya upma

  semiya-upma After a long time i am sitting and writing a post. Still feeling very lazy to come back to routine after a wonderful holiday for a week in  Thailand. I must thank all my friends who visited my blog and posted their encouraging comments , even when i miss their  wonderful posts.

Somehow that incident came to my mind yesterday while i was making this for my breakfast. Since blogging was in the back of my mind ,as to what to post, i clicked while making the upma  and here comes the recipe.

Kurkuri bhindi recipe, Ladies finger fry

Kurkuri bhindi recipe

Deep fried Bhindi recipe with step by step picture, made using ladies finger, gram flour and spices, served as a starter. 
        Normally we don’t order starters when we go out to eat. But 2 weeks back when we went out for lunch on a rainy day afternoon we ordered for  kurkuri bhendi in a popular restaurant here.  The entire family was so impressed with the taste and kids  wanted to make it again at home. I tried it on the very next day. It turned out so crispy, and the crispiness stayed for few hours too.
Usually the ladies finger are thinly sliced like sticks but i just followed the style which they served in restaurant. If you are looking for how to cook ladies finger perfectly, do check out this post on how to make Vendakkai curry. 
This kurkuri bhindi can be served as a tea time snack or can be had along with a meal as an accompaniment too.
