Spicy And Tangy Methi / Fenugreek Leaves - Vendiya Keerai Thokku

          I am a big fan of Fenugreek Leaves/Methi/Vendiya Keerai, love its slight bitter taste and awesome flavor. Whenever I get them, even if I don't use them up immediately, I clean, wash, chop and store them in the freezer, it keeps well for at least 2 weeks. It tastes great in sambars, dals, curries and especially pairs very well with potatoes and paneer. I also make this Thokku with it, the bitterness of the leaves is balanced with the tangy tomatoes and the spicy chilly powder. Can have this as a side dish for rotis, mix it with rice or even as a sandwich spread, tastes simply divine..

Jeera Aloo / Potato with Cumin

          As I had mentioned in my previous posts, we love baby potatoes so much, especially my daughter, so whenever I see it, I grab a bag, they are so cute and irresistible. Though I've made many dishes with it, this Jeera Aloo is the most easiest one, if you have the potatoes boiled and peeled, then the dish can be done in under 10 minutes. Jeera/Cumin pairs so well with potatoes, the dish is so delicious, so simple to make, yet looks so rich, a great combo with both rice and bread..

Bhindi Do Pyaza / Okra And Onion Stir Fry

 
         By now, everybody who has been following my blog, knows, how much my family loves okra. They can have this slimy vegetable in any form, in sambars, kurmas, raitas, curries, name it, they can have it. Personally  my first choice was in sambars, that is, until I tasted this curry, Bhindi Do Pyaza. Bhindi is another name for okra/vendikkai, and the dish literally translates to, 'okra cooked with double the amount of onions'. Even while making the curry I never had an idea that this dish was going to be so tasty, the flavors from the onion seeds, ginger and yogurt was simply superb, an awesome side dish for rotis or naans..

Cauliflower Fritters

          Will you believe me, if I tell you, that after moving to India, for the past six months I haven't done any deep frying at home, that too being a food blogger. Something kept me away from doing deep frying, I didn't do anything even during the festivals, but of course, occasionally I did snack on some deep fried foods. But last weekend I finally did it, I made these Cauliflower Fritters. They are so simple to make and yet so tempting and delicious, my daughter simply loves them. You can serve them as appetizers, or even have it as a side dish with some rice dish, you'll definitely love it..
