Yummy sesame garlic chilli chicken

Hello Friends,

Here I am with another recipe. This is one of my husband's favourite. Every now and then he comes up with the demand of this chilli chicken and enjoys having it with egg fried rice.

This recipe is called Indo-Chinese because it is a Chinese recipe but we make it spicy like any other Indian curry.

Hope you guys will enjoy this one.

Yummy Virgin Sangria

Hello Friends,

After complaining a lot about this summer, I am about to praise it. It made me make some summer special recipes which I wouldn't have made before.

I remember I went to Spain last summer and in that heat I loved having their summer drink called Sangria.  There are different versions of it, depending upon the taste and area you go to.

Today I am going to share with you very simple recipe of Virgin Sangria. Virgin because I am a breastfeeding mum and can't afford to get my lil one drunk so early in life :D

You can add some white rum or some gin to it at the end to make it alcoholic.
I hope you will like it as did my family and guests.

Here's for you and remember Keep Eating, Keep Reading and Keep Watching

Chatpata Bombay Sandwich!

Hello my dear friends,

Its strange how I keep addressing you, sometimes as friends, sometimes as readers, sometimes as foodies but I have no idea who you guys are. Which part of the world you live in and what your interests are. This is how small internet has made our world these days. I love writing about the food I cook and sharing it with people hence I keep posting my recipes in the hope that at least some of you might find it helpful:)
I will be glad if anyone of you can post me their interests, hobbies or just introduce themselves to me, I will have new friends that way.

Coming to the food topic, a few days ago there was festive season in India which means no non vegetarian cooking for a few days :P I was perfectly fine with it but my husband finds it really difficult. But this time, he also didn't realise where all that time flew away. This is because there are 1000's of varieties of vegetarian dishes you can make. As my favourite chef  Rick Stein says, "I am mesmerized to see the variety of vegetarian options Indian cooking offers, its a country where being non-vegetarian is being an exception " and I completely agree, infact I was a vegetarian until my early 20's and never realised I was missing out on anything.. and then I discovered KFC :P

Jokes apart, the recipe I am writing today is most popular in Mumbai, Pune and rest of Maharashtra.
You can find them being sold at every snack shop and are a popular choice among people.
I had my first encounter with it whenI was in Pune and I loved it from the very first bite. Its called Bombay Masala Sandwich. Vegetarian sandwich  but I bet it can beat any non-veg sandwich in the world.

Lets get started with it.

1	White Bread	7-8 loafs

11	Green chillies	1
12	Salt	to taste
13	Garlic cloves	1
14	Ginger	tiny piece
15	Lemon juice	1tbsp
16	Water	4-5 tbsp
For Masala
17	Chat Masala	1tsp
18	Cumin powder	1tsp
19	Garam Masala	1/2 tsp
20	Dry Mango powder (Amchoor)	1/2 tsp

Method:

For chutney, take a blender and blend all the ingredients together to form a smooth runny chutney.

Mix the ingredients of Masala together to make a chatpata dressing.

To Prepare the sandwiches:

1. Chop the vegetables as shown in picture
   
   
2. Take two slices of bread and apply butter on top
   
3. Then apply chutney
   
4. Put the boiled potatoes on top
   
   
   
5. Dress with the masala
6. Put cucumber and dress with masala

10. Put lots of cheese and cover with another slice of bread
