My journey of life...

Well this is something which I just imagined and made today after I went berserk shopping at Reliance Fresh and Reliance Delight stores for ingredients. What you need: Chicken Cut into cubes (or on the bone whatever you prefer) Vinegar(I used Chilli Vinegar which I like more) Ginger Garlic Paste Whole garam masala Cummin(Jeera) Powder Coriander(Dhania) Powder Chilli and Turmeric Salt and Pepper for seasoning Oil for frying Onions Tomato Puree Garam Masala powder Lots of fresh coriander. For starters chop the onions finely as you would for a curry. In a bowl add the chicken, vinegar, salt, pepper, ginger garlic paste,dhania jeera powder and finely chopped coriander (sounds weird right? Believe me tastes good). Mix well and let it marinate for at least 10-15 mins. Make sure you do not over power the marinade with Vinegar or else the taste of the fresh coriander will be lost. Alternatively you could make a green paste in the blender if you have one and apply it to the chicken. Heat the oi...

Now this one's the most simple of them all! I come home late from office and I find that I have a lot of veggies lying at home some rice n dal. So I decided to make something with rice but was too lazy to cook a separate vegetable and dal to go along with it. So time I experimented. :) Here's what you'll need Rice soaked in water for around 20 mins Your favorite veggies ( Paneer, cauliflower, carrots etc...) A few onions vertically chopped 2 green chillies Some cloves of garlic and some ginger (you can use ginger garlic paste if you want) oil Water Some jeera Seasonings(Chilli Powder, Turmeric, Garam Masala Pwd, Dhania Jeera Pwd) A Pressure cooker! Fry the onions till light brown in the pressure cooker. Add the jeera, ginger, garlic, green chillies. Saute till you get the jeera's aroma. Add in the vegetables and cook till they are glazed. Add the rice and some water to cook the rice. Add in the seasonings and salt. Pressure cook for max two whistles. Now it might not co...

This isn't as easy as the others. I was watching Hell's Kitchen and some other shows where these guys make some lovely pasta. I just felt the need for cooking non-veg pasta. All these years Mum n I have only tried vegetarian Pasta. So here it goes. Disclaimer: This is a Bachelor's Kitchen and the pasta was cooked out of sheer desire. The pasta presented here is an 'desi' version. I highly recommend using fresh herbs, celery and parsley along with some oregano seasoning to get the best out. Firstly choose your favorite pasta. Mine's Penne but I didn't have it at home so I used fuscili instead. Mind you don't try Spaghetti I have a gut feeling that won't go well. Read the instructions on the pasta packet and cook the pasta. Here's what you need for the sauce Two Large tomatoes Half a packet of tomato puree Chilli Powder A pinch of garam masala (use some other seasoning please- I didn't have anything else) fresh herbs here would be the best salt...
