Schezwan Paneer Paratha recipe

Schezwan paneer paratha, paneer cooked in schezwan sauce stuffed inside paratha. Recently i tasted Schezwan paneer in a restaurant here in Singapore and wanted to try that at home. But always making of Schezwan sauce is a lazy thing for me, yes the garlic chopping part is the laziest one for me. Finally few days back i overcome my laziness and made this Schezwan sauce in a bulk quantity. Yes my kids love the flavour of schezwan sauce so i made little extra so that i can make fried rice nd noodles for them. I first wanted to post Schezwan paneer tikka but then later felt, stuffed paratha will be more flavourful and kids also will enjoy it after they come back from school. So tried Schezwan paneer paratha and it turned out so well and being a ardent fan of parathas i just finished one paratha immediately after clicking the pictures. Do try this Schezwan paneer paratha at home and let me know it turned out.

The smell of the chutney takes me back to those childhood days.

Thengai milagai podi recipe , How to make coconut milagai podi

Thengai Milagai podi, a perfect pair for idli dosa, made with the addition of coconut to the usual Idli milagai podi. I still remember my childhood days when amma used to make this in bulk and we used to eat it like how kids eat sugar from the box. I have posted Thengai podi recipe but Thengai molagapodi is different. Thengai podi we generally mix with hot rice and ghee and eat. Thengai milgai podi we generally smear on Idli, Dosa. This doesn't stay too long like usual milagai podi due to the addition of coconut but still perfect for travel. It has been ages since i made or tasted this thenga molagapodi. Infact, i haven't tried it in my 18 years of cooking. Recently remembered of this while talking with my sister. As amma is holidaying in US now, i couldn't call her at my convenience but somehow spoke to her and got the recipe. She also recollected our madness for thengai milgai podi, including my patti  who is crazy lover of this podi. If you are a molagapodi lover, do try this at home and i am sure you will love it. The first bite of it with idli took me to my childhood days. Can you relate to that feelings 😃

I adapted this recipe from my athai and my friend's mother law too. This angaya podi can be consumed not only by newly delivered moms but also by anyone in the family. This healthy podi aids in digestion and also a  very good remedy for amebiasis as it has neem flower, sundakkai and manathakkali.

Even after i delivered my 2 kids i refused to eat this for more than a week. After making this i started liking it very much and now i am including a tsp of thsi angaya podi in my food daily.I have been receiving reader requests for this angaya podi but somehow i avoid due to the lack of availability of all the ingredients here in Singapore.
    Recently found all the ingredients here in Sri Murugan stores Singapore and ordered them and made this angaya podi. Sri Murugan stores has their mobile app and you can download in your Android or iOs phone to order your grocery. They have varieties  of Indian groceries and fresh Indian vegetables too available at reasonable price. The recently opened Sri Murugan Plus is my one stop shop for my monthly Grocery.

Spicy Bhakri recipe, Masala mamas cook book review

Bhakri is a popular Indian flat bread made using Jowar flour. This is generally made like a soft roti or like a khakra type crispy snack too. This recipe i got from the Masala Mamas cook book. I received a copy of the cookbook 2 months back for review. Generally i don't write review for cookbooks, but the cause for the cookbook inspired me a lot. I immediately agreed for that and the book reached from UK to my mail box. The cover page of the book itself gives a very positive feel, with the beautiful women of Kalwa slum in Mumbai with all good smiles. This book is edited by Dr. Elana Sztokman who is an award winning author, anthropologist and an educator too. This book carries the traditional Vegetarian recipe of Maharastrian cuisine and explained very well about the spices and other condiments used in Indian cooking. These beautiful ladies of Kalwa slum in Thane Mumbai came together for a cause and the proceeds from this book will go for a social enterprise promoting nutrition, literacy, health, women empowerment and community development of that slum. This is the only reason for which, i agreed the book review. The book not only has recipes but also covers the stories of the ladies in the Kalwa slum and also a Visual guidance of the spices, lentils and leaves used in Indian cuisine, Kitchen essentials and many more. So those who do not anything about Mahatrastian cuisine can able to connect and cook a delicious meal from this book.
   The Masala mamas cook book covers a wide range of recipes under many categories. They have Drinks, Breads, Breakfast foods, dips, Snacks, Mains, Sweets and also fasting foods too.
I have chosen the Tikhi Bhakri recipe from the cookbook and tired yesterday. It turned out well and we all liked it.
 It is available from Amazon in many different countries and can be shipped anywhere. Prices for paperback are US$28.99, UK25.99, and 1800 INR. You can also order directly from the women in Kalwa at www.masalamamas.org. 
  The book is super colorful and the expressions of the beautiful women who come forward to cook for this common cause, are showcased so well in the pictures. Thank you team for this book and i will try some more of my favorite recipes soon.  Scroll down to see the picture of the cover page of the cook book.
