Upit/Upma

I just cannot think why I have not posted this simple recipe for so long. I had made this version when onions were expensive! Ha Ha so long! You have forgotten all about the onion prices haven’t you?

What reminded me of this recipe? Well, it reminded me about itself every time I went to see my pictures but I was sure no one will be interested then as onion prices had normalised.

So how are you interested now? Elementary my dear Watson, if “Upit”/Upma can make or break a cookery contest winner everyone is interested in the different versions of it!!

Yes I am referring to the Contest where Floyd Cardoz, a celebrated Chef   made this simple dish and went to win the contest!!  

Spring Onion Stir Fry or Kanda Path Bhaji

I am finding it difficult to post anything! Is this the writer’s block or that I still have to read 200 posts that are lying in my reader?

  One break and so many posts I just cannot seem to catch-up.

Should remind myself next time I take a break.

Anyway here is a simple stir fry that I make out of spring onions often. Not only is it tasty it is also ready in a jiffy.  J

Bhindi Aur Paneer Masala a/s Lady Finger and Paneer

Surprised at the heading? Well I have attended a Hindi Karyashala i.e. Hindi Workshop today. And this name just sprang to my mind and since it is apt I decided to let it stay.

I have always loved had bhindi/lady finger  as a kid but Amma was allowed to make them fried only and they had to be cut in circles and fried crisp till they were crisp.

 I make that often but my elder daughter wants me to try different ways of making this veggie. So I do make bhindi/lady finger masala often.

But no matter how I made them I ended up with a sticky lady finger veggie. To solve the problem I used to add rava but I always wondered how Amma made her bhindi/lady finger so crisp without much oil and non sticky at that.

Egg-less Chocolate Cake

+

When I saw this egg-less chocolate cake I knew I had to make it. The only question was when. I have made it exactly as Priya has said here. 

Abit contrary to my reputation isn't it? But I did not melt the chocolate pieces. Since I had scraped it with the vegetable peeler it was easy to mix it in the batter. Also since my chocolate was milk chocolate I did not get the rich colour that Priya's cake has. But taste superlative!!Thanks Priya!! 

Sending this to the other Priya and Aipi's bookmarked recipes event.
