Couscous Salad

This is one of my favorite recipes; it is absolutely delightful and incredibly healthy at the same time. I love to add lots of vegetables and make it colorful – feel free to do the same.

Moong Daal Kachori With Aloo And Chole Curry

Moong dal kachori is a very tasty and filling snack, very popular in North India. It is very delicious served as standalone but yum factor will increase when served with aloo sabji and choley along with chutney. Main ingredients are whole wheat flour and moong dal.
It is a bit of work to prepare but you will forget all the work when you enjoy the taste.

Roasted Tomato Crostini

This is a very elegant appetizer and perfect for serving to guests with some wine! It’s not too much work to make and relatively healthy as well, but looks and tastes amazing!

Breads

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.
