Baked Brie And Bread Wreath
Over the holidays, I prepared this brie and bread wreath. Although it’s perfect to serve for Christmas or New Year, it’s an elegant dish for any occasion and serves as an excellent appetizer for any crowd. The bread is incredibly soft and delicious (and would be great with butter or other cheeses as well) – your guests won’t be able to resist!
Paan Ice Cream
This refreshing paan ice cream is great to beat the heat this summer (or to enjoy in any other weather too!). This ice cream has all the flavors of meetha paan and is sure to be your new favorite. It’s easy to make too – sometimes the best recipe starts with a short cut, and here I started with vanilla ice cream. It is a super yummy recipe!
Paneer Afghani Tikka (Spicy Grilled Indian Cottage Cheese)
Paneer Tikka is a North Indian appetizer where chunks of paneer are marinated in yogurt and spices and then grilled in tandoor (Clay oven). This recipe is for Afghan Paneer Tikka and is from the kitchen of mughals, known for their culinary skills. Instead of a clay oven, I grilled paneer/ vegetables in a pan. Alternatively, an electric/ gas oven can be used.
Use fresh paneer and serve it hot with green chutney and lemon.
Potato Pinwheel Bites (Bite Size Samosa Alternate)
Samosas are a popular Indian snack. Sometimes we crave eating homemade samosa but do not feel like putting in all the effort to make it. Potato pinwheel bite is an alternative that tastes like samosas and fairly easy to make at home with little preparation.
Guar Beans (Cluster Beans) Curry
Guar (Cluster) beans have low carb and high fiber content and are extremely good for weight reduction and for diabetic patients. It also contains protein and calcium. This curry is not only healthy, but also very simple and easy to make.
If the beans are not tender, it may take a little bit of work to remove the thread from both sides but the effort is worth the end result.
Serve with dal (lentil) curry and chapati.
