Veg Recipes for Lent
Lent is a solemn religious observance for Christians, a period that lasts approximately 6 weeks between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday. During this period one is urged to give up vices or temptations of any kind. Most Christians go on a pure vegetarian diet (one that includes no meat, fish or eggs) or a semi vegetarian diet (one that includes fish, seafood & eggs) I have tried to compile a list of almost all vegetarian recipes on my blog that cover a wide range of categories like breakfast, snacks, soups, salads, starters, mains & sides that will help you plan your menu this Lent. This compilation pretty much sums up the veg recipes on my blog excluding sweets, desserts and festive foods as Lent is a time of penance and self denial. If I find that I have missed some…
Crispy Fried Chicken Burger
What’s better than a store bought burger? A homemade one! One that is made fresh and crispy! Here’s presenting Crispy Fried Chicken Burger because this is not your regular, run of the mill, store bought patty kinda burger. This one is made using a chunky slice of boneless chicken marinated in buttermilk, coated in flour and fried to perfection before being placed on layers of fresh lettuce, onion rings, tomatoes and mayo and covered between two halves of a burger bun. We paired it with homemade lettuce salad with croutons and some homemade fries. So delish! This was our first try, during the pandemic. The recipe has surfaced only now 🙂 And oh, yes, this was my son’s work. Our not so little anymore chef loves to try out a lot of recipes and create his own magic in the…
Achari Chicken Kadai
What is Achari Chicken Kadai? Achari Chicken Kadai is a simple and quick dish wrapped up in hot-tangy-spicy flavours that are sure to tantalize your tastebuds! This dish is made with boneless chicken, some basic spices and yogurt. The unique flavours are brought in by the bell peppers and ofcourse ‘achar’, the Indian pickle that is prepared with a whole variety of ingredients dunked in a spicy-tangy masala/gravy base. What type of pickle can be used? You can use any kind of Indian pickle to make this dish. In the West, pickles is a term synonymous with raw veggies in brine. However, in the Indian subcontinent, we go a step ahead and add a whole lot of spices – whether ground to paste or simply powdered, to the vegetables. Sometimes we even temper this gravy to give it a unique…
Chikkad Chole
What is Chikkad Chole and why is it named so? Chikkad Chole – a Punjabi style chickpea curry made with basic spices is named so because of the texture and consistency and colour of the gravy which resemble thick and sticky murky waters. Chikkad is synonymous with kichad (muck) and perhaps that is why it also tastes best when turned into a semi mushy consistency and served with roti, naan or bature. I first came across this recipe on Chavvi Mittal’s tele series ‘Maid in Heaven’ on Facebook where the character she plays asks for the recipe from her aunt. The dish intrigued me and I wanted to make it. The actress eventually shared the recipe on her blog. I tried this recipe a couple of years ago, during the pandemic to be precise, when most of the world was…
