Cottage cheese vegetable Chili


Any of my friends & family familiar with this dish? Why I am asking so because I came to know such a dish exists in such a name very recently; exactly 1 week ago. They are called CHILIS 😱


I was thinking very high of myself that I would be knowing the world cuisines at least by their name, but no I have way to go!
So chilia per the youtuber is a comfort food for the fall time, when weather gets colder. So it’s not fall in Bangalore but atleast the weather is getting colder here too which made me decide to make my first chili during this time. Of course what else is comforting on these cold days than a bowl of heart warming spicy curry soup 🍲 
So chilly resembles a Indian curry marries with a soup. It’s so versatile that you can make spicy red colored ones or white ones which gets the hotness from pepper or green chillies.

A classic chili masala has paprika powder, cumin , turmeric as common: but I made my chili a little Indianish by adding coriander powder, pepper crushed and Kashmiri chili powder.
This is a vegetarian version replacing ground meat with paneer cubes, mixed beans of broad beans and red kidney beans and lot of veggies. Usually chili’s would end up with an addition of greens 🥬. I used Bok Choy, a typical Chinese cabbage as my chili green. 
For the sauce I used Worstershire and added some red pickled paprika for that extra flavor. Base veggies is so easy, which is just chopped onion, garlic , ginger garlic paste , spring  onions and leeks, green bell peppers 🌶 carrots 🥕 
As I said this is my version of veggies ; you can add what ever is your preferred ones. Also The cottage cheese can be replaced with Tofu or Ground meat or even fish . I am dreaming out a clams and prawns 🍤 chili now; may be next among my chilis 😋

Also I want to mention the YouTube channel I git this recipe from. It is the domestic geek channel and I just love the chef. Sarah Lincoln if you are seeing this post anyhow, I want to tell you that you are just awesome 👏 

Ingredients 




Method:

In a heavy bottomed pan add butter, then onion and garlic. Cook till onion is soft. Add other veggies and cook for 2 mins. Add ginger garlic paste and chili Masala. Add cooked beans and remaining water from bean cooking or veggie stock. Bring everything to a boil and add worstershire sauce and jalapeños. Add Bok Choy at the end and cook for a min. Check for salt and you are done 😋

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds. I dont think anyone can go wrong with this recipe.  So diving into the recipe, without more story telling.  Ingredients: All purpose flour/Whole wheat flour - 1 cup Oats flakes - rolled oats - 1/4 cup Cocoa powder - 1/4 cup Butter-1/4 cup Sugar brown - 1/2 cup packed Salt -1/4 tsp Baking powder- 1 tsp Egg - 1  Vanilla essence - 1 tsp Milk - 1 to 2 tbsp or to make a cookie dough  Method: Whisk together dry ingredients and keep aside  Whip butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add egg and vanilla essence and mix.

Inji curry - Ginger curry pickle

Inji curry is one among the dish in any Kerala Sadya spread and it is called with a name " nooru kootan" in malayalam to give the impression of impact of this dish. It means equivalent to 100 curries. You can see this man in every sadya holding the first place in the plantain leaf and is served first in the leaf based on some belief I guess. I m a big fan of Kerala sadya, of course a foodie like me loves every food and how can I miss our own Sadya, which is supposed to be the biggest spread in terms of number of side dishes and rounds it carries. A few things to make you understand about the rounds of sadya; I m from the south part of Kerala, Trivandrum which is the most famous place for veggie sadya in plantain leaf. The Sadya here consists of at least 20 side dishes in on side of leaf with Pappad, chips, fried chilly, and one side is reserved for the rounds of rice. First round of rice starts with moong dal curry and ghee. Yet another specialty of Trivandrum is this ...

Introducing me, as a food blogger!

Hello ... I am taking this opportunity to introduce myself as a food blogger. I am not new to this place; most of my friends know me as a random blogger and I am pretty much active here. This time, I am starting on a blog focussed on food. I am a passionate cook who loves to experiment a lot in food, and I appreciate and embrace almost all cuisines world wide. I am already representing a food site with my tested recipes in Facebook, but because there is no option to search for my recipes, I am sharing it here. I want all my readers to have easy access and my recipes handy 😊 As you can see, I am passionate about many things other than cooking, but cooking is something which always gives me pleasure. Cooking is my stress reliever, as one of my friend used to advice me, "Go bake a cake, you will be Alright"! I am not yet sure to call myself as a food blogger, as I think there are ton of things yet to be learned and experienced as a cook and each day is a new learning...
