Cottage Cheese-stuffed Baked Portobello Mushroomswhen i started making these mushrooms, i was a bit nervous. you see, this was not exactly my first attempt at making stuffed mushrooms. past attempts, which involved white button mushrooms, usually ended up in a soggy mess that didn’t really measure up to taste as well. so i got frustrated and shelved the thought of stuffed mushrooms… |

Pancakesmention the word “pancakes” and the image that comes to my mind is of breakfast on a beautiful weekend morning with hot pancakes and maple syrup, freshly brewed coffee and a leisurely flick through the day’s paper. i think pancakes were invented so that people could have leisurely weekend breakfasts. i haven’t had pancakes in a while,… |

Home-made Paneer (Cottage Cheese)i love paneer. frankly, i cant imagine what the world would be like if paneer had never been invented - no more paneer butter masala, paneer tikka or even good old palak paneer! oh man, thats a scary thought! anyways, coming back to the present, i usually use Amul’s paneer, but i haven’t been able to get my hands on it for the past… |
