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 👏

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out. The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Bionico - Mexican Fruit Dessert

I was looking for a dessert which is simple and healthy for today and what came to my mind was Parfait. But the day was Mexican themed and I didn't want to deviate for the dessert part and spoil my theme plan ;) I was looking for similar desserts of Mexican origin, coz I wanted an easy healthy option and has base ingredients which I already have at home. My search for the recipe ended in this great dessert from Mexico, The Fruit Bionico, which resembles parfait in many ingredients, just some difference in some of them. And I found an interesting factor in it and that strengthened my decision to go on with this. Yes, that is nothing but, our own freshly grated coconut :P Bionico is on sweeter side when compared to Parfait because of its sweetner condensed milk. I had my jars saved from Frozen bottle ice cream cakes, and that helped me to give my Bionico that ramp ready look. After the layers were set up, I was going crazy with the photos, as the beauty was looking so pr...

Soya halwa

Soya halwa or Soyabean halwa, the name itself sounds so healthy and of course whoever would like to have a healthy version of halwa can give a try to this great dessert. I came across this guy very accidently, and if you guys remember my earlier post on Soya milk, this is where the secret talked about in that post getting uncovered. So anyone have any hunch? Ok let me reveal the truth. It was when I was about to throw away the remains of soya milk preparation, I noticed that what I am going to throw away isn't a waste, but having as much as nutrients in soya bean. What if I can preserve it for something, or is there any way I can make a recipe out of it. If you see recently I am doing lots of research on North Indian halwas. So when I say North Indian , it is very much different from Kerala style. What I feel is North Indian halwas are easy to make and doesn't have to be so much conscious about the 2 thread consistency and all, which we have to be very much careful in...
