T his is a  lip smacking Indian street snack which is available almost in all the stalls and restaurants in India. In this recipe, boiled and mashed potatoes are spiced, coated in gram flour batter and then deep fried. The fritter is served inside a butter toasted buns along with dry garlic chutney/ coriander chutney/ tamarind chutney. Every day by evening, my mind will be thinking of making something healthy for my husband and daughter. With the craving for a spicy and a tangy chaat, I ended up with this not so healthy chaat as it’s not possible to find any chaat here. I love the dry garlic chutney a lot. And once when I learned how to make it, I made a lot and stored in refrigerator, and that is what I am using as a spread on bread and rotis… Ingredients: Pav- 8 nos For the filling: Boiled Potatoes- wnos Green Chillies- 3 nos Ginger and Garlic Paste- 1 tbsp Oil- 1 tbsp Mustard Seeds- 1 tsp Asafoetida- ½  tsp Turmeric Powder- 1 tsp Salt- as required Besan- ½ Cup Turmeric Powder- 1 tsp

Nutella Cookies

T hose who love chocolate will definitely love Nutella. Me and my daughter are huge fans of Nutella. Anything made out of Nutella is to die for. Since past few days, my daughter has been asking for cookies and as I bought two big bottles of Nutella recently, I thought of baking cookies using them. I have many different varieties of cookie recipes using Nutella, but this recipe got my attention as it required only 4 ingredients which were easily available in kitchen. These cookies were made within minutes and they have a chewy texture. These spread very well so give a nice gap between the cookies while baking. I have baked exactly for 8 minutes and they all vanished the next day. Kids will love this amazing cookies. Just try this out and see the magic.

W ho doesn’t like a hot steaming cup of soup on a cold evening. After coming to this new place, our hunger pangs have increased and so we are munching on something or the other all the time. Junk, unhealthy, healthy,... anything goes :-) So to reduce the junk intake, I thought of preparing some delicious healthy dishes and one among them is this amazingly lovely smooth silky soup made out of garlic. We all know that garlic has so many medicinal benefits and is a very good immune booster.I thought this would be a perfect soup for my husband who is a big garlic fan and so I googled many recipes and got this method, which is very simple and which requires noodles, that is a perfect for my daughter who is crazy about noodles in any form. Just try this out and I bet nothing feels as warm and comforting like a hot bowl of garlic soup.
