I’VE BEEN TAGGED…Kiwi Cake & ‘Meme’ in My 100th POST!!
‘Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!’ Seuss KIWI FRUIT in a Sponge with Fresh Cream, Almonds & Marmalade I can’t believe that its time for my 100th post. Phew…it’s been a long journey by my meagre standards when I entered the world of bloggers a few months ago, with thoughts if I would last it out. Can say I’m having a great time & am still in awe of bloggers who’ve been around for years. It’s a wonderful world out here in the blogosphere which goes by the mantra “THE MORE, THE MERRIER”!! My…

GINGER IN MANY AVATARS…Diversity is the ‘Spice of Life’!
“Had I but a penny in the world, thou shouldst have it for gingerbread.” William Shakespeare (1564-1616) GINGER GINGER EVERYWHERE…& a pile of it here!Time again for the monthly ‘Think Spice’ at Sunita’s World & it’s GINGER this time. Known for its great digestive properties & medicinal value, ginger is widely used in cooking in this part of the world. I love the warm, earthy flavour it imparts to dishes it’s added to. I use ginger quite extensively, and thanks to Sunita’s spicy thoughts, have been given an opportunity to post a few recipes. With diversity being the spice of life…here goes! GINGER LEMONGRASS COOLER…I found the idea while browsing…

ESPRESSO CAKE…Can you smell the coffee??
““Everybody should believe in something. I believe I’ll have another coffee.” Author Unknown My ESPRESSO CAKE….Mmmmmmm Here starts a brand new week of coffee opportunities. This happens to me every November, when coffee is my favourite ingredient in my month of the ‘Scorpio’! In my words, there are very few things that I would attach an ‘automatic-droolamatic’ quotient to. This cake is just of those..bittersweet & just the right dessert with a cuppa coffee! This is a must for serious coffee lovers, and recommended for those who would like a change from chocolate.The cake has been put together and is waiting to be cut later this evening. It’s a basic…

SMOKED BUTTER PANEER…Paneer-e-Dhungaar is what I like to call it!
“Raising children is presented at first as a true-false test, then becomes multiple choice, until finally, far along, you realize that it is an endless essay. No one knows anything.”Anna Quindlen SMOKED BUTTER PANEER CURRY…‘Paneer-e-Dhungaar’ is what I like to call it! This recipe is the result of trying to keep the dinner table smiling with eager kids. Here’s a nice change to the regular Indian style cottage cheese/paneer curry. It combines the best of paneer tikka (which has a smoked flavor) & butter paneer. I made this up one day when the kids were losing interest at the dinner table, and I had paneer on hand which I wanted…

EASY YOGURT DIP…Serve with Chips/Crudites.Always a hit at any gathering!
“Food is so primal, so essential a part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends. That’s why I love this community.” Jasmine Heiler, about recipezaar.com HUNG CURD (YOGURT) DIP A really simple, extremely addictive, & tangy dip which is a great add-on to any menu. Its one of those ‘quick to put together’, ‘nothing can go wrong’ sorta recipes, which is a great hit and good for finger food. For kids I serve it with chips, and always add veggies like steamed broccoli, cucumber sticks,baby carrots, baby corn etc on the side. Every single time I have served this, I have…
