Shortcrust method for making samosa dough The key to great samosas relies on a technique called the shortcrust method. This technique involves on working fat into the flour until the flour is coated in the fat. The shortcrust method is often used in American pastries to make desserts like pie. In pie, the pieces of butter create flaky layers. This is as a result of the large pockets of fat melting and releasing steam....
Cheesy Vegan Calzone Did you ever eat an Italian Calzone in a restaurant? I did (a couple of times) and absolutely loved it! Baked to perfection in a stone oven, stuffed with lots of cheese, and mushrooms! It’s probably my favorite pizza ever! I wasn’t vegan back then (only vegetarian), so the cheese wasn’t vegan (I was a cheese addict before going vegan)! My boyfriend actually introduced me to this Italian dish after he ate Calzones multiple times in Italy, where they often serve a huge Calzone over two plates!...

Smooth And Creamy, Dairy-Free Vanilla Pudding I have a confession to make – I love all creamy, pudding/custard-like desserts. I’ve already shared recipes for Vegan Chocolate Pudding and my favorite Vegan Banana Pudding; a combination of Vanilla Wafer Biscuits, bananas, vanilla pudding, and whipped cream. Suddenly it dawned on me that I’d yet to share the vegan vanilla pudding recipe on its own, though. This pudding recipe is super simple, containing just 5 ingredients (8 with my optional extras) and a quick and easy 2-step process (prepare the pudding and chill it!...

Idli and dosai is just incomplete without a chutney to go along with it. There are days when I am short on time and we just eat our idli’s with milagai podi, but on most days I need a chutney. It is me in the whole family who is a chutney fan. Even when eating out at restaurants, I love to sample the different chutney’s that they have to offer....
Lasagna in soup form? I’m the biggest fan. And there are several reasons why. It’s undoubtedly easier than making a meat sauce, filling it between layers of lasagna noodles and ricotta like the classic version. It comes together in one pot, and we’re definitely a fan of one-pot meals around here. It also means that lasagna soup is totally a doable dinner for midweek – unlike the traditional dish. And last but certainly not least, this soup is made with mostly pantry and refrigerator staple ingredients so other than the ricotta cheese, I’m willing to bet you’ve got most of the ingredients on hand already....
Forever in LOVE. ?? Slow simmered beef broth with aromatics, spices, like star anise and fennel, thick and chewy noodles, tender baby bok choy, and medallions beef that are cooked to the point where they just start falling apart. We’ll topping it all off with a generous sprinkle of scallions, a dollop of hot chili oil if you’re into that sort of thing, and slurp it all up with one of those large porcelain spoons that were invented for the sole purpose of slurping....
The last recipe I have under the theme ‘Making take-outs at home’, is this White Chocolate Macadamia nuts cookie made the Subway style. I have made the Fortune cookies that we look forward to from a Chinese restaurant and our ever-favorite Mexican pizza from Taco Bell. Subway is our go-to sandwich shop when traveling. Thankfully, my boys love their vegetables and do not mind eating a vegetable-loaded sandwich. The mother though loves the sandwich and also the white chocolate macadamia cookies that they serve at the Subway....
The recipe selection for the alphabet Y started with Yam and stayed with yam for a long time. I just had no idea what kind of snack or tiffin to make with yam and kept postponing the dish for too long. That is when in one of our chat sessions, Gayathri suggested using the word Yelumichampazham and that kept running In the back of my head. Until yesterday, I was still debating and finally came to the decision to make some lemon Sevai for dinner....

published Mar 26, 2021, updated Jun 24, 2024 Advieh is a warm and aromatic blend of Middle Eastern seasonings — we in North America might find them foreign, but they are exceedingly common in Southwestern Asia. Bitter on its own, the flavors of this blend truly bloom once they’re added to a dish. I’m often asked what is advieh? For me, advieh is a spice blend rich in floral notes that come from dried rose petals, sweetness from cinnamon and clove and warm flavors from cumin, black pepper and more....

Making burfis always gives me a jitter. Having said this, I make burfis very often as my kids love them. Yes, I have made blunders, but I have had many successes too. The best part about burfi (or how I see it) is, if the end part does not turn out the texture you want it to, it can be called halwa. Rarely have I gone beyond the cooking stage for burfi and made it crumbly, but many times I have cooked it under and made it as halwa....
While these baked potato topping ideas make for meals themselves, try these loaded potato skins with chorizo and bravas sauce for more of a party canapé vibe. So, here’s something we had to get used to: on this side of the Atlantic, the Brits eat baked potatoes, or jacket potatoes as they are known here, as a main meal. They are the meal. Yes, so hallowed is the bulbous spud, it is rarely- if ever, relegated to a side dish as we were accustomed to in North America....
Cheesecake + French Toast? Someone pinch me, am I in heaven? I’m excited to tell you all about my new favorite cheesecake french toast casserole today. We’re so close to the weekend and my hope is that you’ll grab all of these ingredients when you hit the store next and then prep this on either Friday or Saturday and share it with family or friends for brunch. It’s a lazy sort of casserole and I have no shame in saying that those are the best kind....
I am so happy that I watched this quick video that popped up on my Facebook feed. I usually skip through the videos and do not bother with them. But when the video of this crusty, dark, salt-speckled beautiful Bretzel Rolls came on my screen, I couldn’t resist watching it. After watching the whole video, I vaguely remembered making something similar. I had made Bagels (years back) using the same procedure of baking soda bath....
