Breaded Chicken Parmesan

Can we address the elephant in the room? So many  things have happened in the last couple of days! If I had a dollar for every time someone mentioned election, politics and India banning currency notes I would be rich enough to buy myself an unlimited supply of cupcakes! To top it all , “Game…

Broccoli Fritters

I have a food theory. Any vegetable that can be shredded, or finely chopped, can be tucked into a savory batter with cheese and lightly fried to perfection. “Broccoli fritters” is one such dish that comes together beautifully with five simple ingredients.

Homemade Chilli Chicken or Paneer

For the most part “positivity” and “news” are not seen together. Too much negativity early in the morning makes one feeling hopeless and helpless. It feels as if our efforts of making world a better place do not matter! Hence, it was refreshing to read about the story of an honest journalist who made sure…

Spicy Schezwan Anyone?

Hint Schezwan sauce!   Ask me why?   The reason, it requires only mixing the readymade Schezwan sauces with minimum efforts!   Making anything Schezwan is not at all…
