You guys! I am in love with this orzo tomato spinach soup. My heart beats Tomatoes. Parmesan cheese. Itty-bitty, cutesy wittle orzo pasta. And my favorite power veggie, spinach! But first, I have had a few weeks of crazy that i’ve been dealing with. It started off with a cookie recipe that went terribly, horribly wrong. My thumbprint cookies, let’s just say they didn’t really have a thumbprint in them....
When I am thinking of what to make for lunch on dinner, especially on weekends, my mind always wanders toward food that is restaurant-style. I love eating out right from when I was a young kid and that has not changed a bit. Being a vegetarian has never been a problem for us and we always find something to eat in every place. Restaurant-style subzis are my weakness and I just love the texture of them....
DAMMICH! That’s what you call a damn tasty sandwich in the words of a two-year-old. Besties little one does describe it best. Although, the kid has no idea what kind of prize-winning term he’s just coined. Or we can call it a naanwich or kofta pita sandwich. Or maybe you prefer to call it a kofta pita pocket? I say call it whatever you want as long as you’re stuffing these simple kofta kabobs into/onto a hunk of pillowy soft bread and then topping it with my homemade garlic tahini sauce and onions and cucumbers and tomatoes and essentially, anything else that you prefer on your sandwich....

Tips to make crunchy vadas Do not over-grind the chana dal - The tricky part of making paruppu vadas is knowing when the chickpeas (chana dal) are ground enough. If you over-grind the mixture, you will get dense masala vadas, and if you don’t grind it finely enough, then the vadas will fall apart in the oil. The test to know when the chickpeas are ground enough is that when you squeeze the vadas in your hands they form a patty without falling apart....
I am always on the lookout for some new subzi to make as we eat chapatti/roti for dinner often. Many times, it feels like I am repeating the same kind of subzi again and again even though they are different. When I saw the recipe for Methi Malai Mutter in Sowmya’s space, I really liked that it is made with milk/cream-based gravy instead of the usual onion-tomato gravy. I am a little scared to cook savory recipes with milk as there is always a chance of curdling the milk....

Best spring roll wrappers to buy These samosas are often called mini or cocktail samosas! Cocktail samosas use spring roll sheets to help get that crispy exterior. However, not all spring roll wrappers are made equally. When buying wrappers, I opt for the TYJ brand which yields the flakiest spring rolls whether baked or fried. Try to avoid wrappers that are labeled as egg roll wrappers as they tend to be thicker and don’t crisp as well....
