Made without icing sugar / powdered sugar, this is actually an old fashioned frosting called “Ermine Frosting”. If you’ve never heard of it before, the ingredients and method will intrigue you! My secret Fluffy Vanilla Frosting I call this my “secret” Vanilla Frosting because it’s not a widely known type of frosting and people are always flabbergasted when I tell them how it’s made using butter, milk, flour and sugar....

Plus, most of the ingredients are probably already in your pantry. These no bake cookies are quick, easy, and deliciously addictive. Easy No Bake Cookies These no bake cookies are one of the very first cookies I made growing up and they’re still one of my all-time favorites. The peanut butter and cocoa powder make for a deliciously fudgy combo. And let’s face it… who can resist peanut butter and chocolate!...

FavoritePinShare Amazing ooey gooey s’mores bars that have a layer of nutella. They are easy to make and they don’t require a campfire! I like to think that I can make the ultimate s’more. My secret is to have the chocolate sitting on the edge of the fire getting all nice and melty. Then you have to toast the marshmallow nice and slow while the chocolate is melting. The perfect marshmallow has a crisp brown edge and is ooey gooey and perfectly melted on the inside....

There are many kinds of vegetarian biryani made. Most of them use vegetables & are one pot dishes. Since this paneer biryani is dum cooked, it turns out to be extremely flavorful & delicious. Paneer turns out super flavorful and remains soft as it is dum cooked. Vegetable biryani is one of the most made in my home as it is super quick to make. Sometimes I also add some paneer to the veggie biryani....

Like most other kids, mine too love anything with cheese. These cheese balls, cheese sandwich, pizza & Garlic cheese toast were their all-time favorites. Ever since they tasted this paneer cheese toast they are much in love with these and is their new super favorite. These not only make a great evening snack but also go so well in a meal with some warm comforting soup & veggie salad. Here are some soups you may pair if making these for a meal....

About Paneer Lababdar Paneer is the Indian name for non-melting Indian cheese and lababdar means a strong desire for something and surrender to it. Probably here it means a desire to indulge in the dish. So Paneer lababdar is a dish that you will desire to indulge in! A little research helped me figure out this. There are numerous popular Paneer recipes made in the households and restaurants. Paneer butter masala, paneer makhani, malai kofta are some of them....

In India we make halwa with a lot of things like vegetables, fruits, flour and even with nuts. Carrot halwa, atta halwa, suji halwa, moong dal halwa and badam halwa are some of the most popular varieties. Papaya halwa is not so common but you will get to see this made in many South Indian homes, especially those growing papaya in their backyard. My mom would make this on occasions with both ripe and raw papaya....

It’s certainly not an everyday mash, so save it for special occasions to serve alongside grand centrepieces! Paris Mash was made famous in Australia by Guillaume Brahimi, one of our country’s top French chefs. His Paris Mash is 25% butter, and it’s so rich, I could only get through a few spoonfuls… And that’s saying something for this Potato Monster!! What is Paris Mash? Just as Prime Rib is the king of all roasts, and Carnitas rule all tacos, Paris Mash is the mother of all mashed potatoes!...

FavoritePinShare Pico de Gallo is a made from scratch salsa that is loaded with bold flavors from jalapeño, lime, cilantro, and juicy chunks of tomato and onion. One dip will certainly not be enough and you will be scraping the bottom of the bowl in no time! For a more traditional salsa recipes try Best Blender Salsa, Slow Cooker Restaurant Style Garden Salsa or Restaurant style salsa. Pico de Gallo Do you ever get so full from an appetizer that you aren’t even hungry when it comes time for the meal?...

When you taste a bite of this potato leek soup, first you’ll be struck by how rich and thick it is (like my favorite Vegan Potato Soup). Then, however, something will change. Flavors of dill, capers, and chives hit your taste buds and convince you that this soup must be pure bright sunshine served in a bowl. Another curve ball: this decadently textured potato leek soup recipe contains no heavy cream or milk and is vegan (!...

And if you want ultra ultra crispy, make small thin ones instead – they are literally potato crisp crispy! Potato Rosti She who was labelled Potato Girl by her family when she was a mere teenager cannot comprehend how she’s made it through 6 years with a recipe website and not shared a rosti recipe. At least, not “properly”. A variation of it is buried in this old Smoked Salmon Rosti Stack breakfast recipe....

Prawn dipping sauces It’s really worth making your own dipping sauces when you’ve invested in fresh juicy prawns. The jarred stuff lacks the fresh flavour of homemade seafood sauces and just doesn’t do prawns justice! A couple of weeks ago, we catered my mother’s annual Christmas party for 30 of her friends. I’ve noticed that we get approached to do this every 2nd year. I think that the organisers assume that we’re scarred by the experience (something to do with our bedraggled appearance at the end?...

About Mint Rice This South Indian style mint rice is always a winner for its simplicity, taste and refreshing aroma. Both these recipes are a great way to use up any fresh mint leaves left behind in your refrigerator. Since mint leaves are the star in this pudina rice recipe, I have not used any other veggies. But if you prefer, you can add some mixed vegetables like potatoes, peas, carrots and beans....

It’s a universal fact that anything pizza related is a winner, so it’s no wonder these Puff Pastry Pizza Pinwheels are a crowd favourite whenever they are on offer. These fully loaded cheesy puff pastry pizza scrolls are full of flavour and truly effortless to prepare. Pinwheels are fun to make and fun to eat. Plus we all love bite sized food! Feel free to play around with your favourite pizza toppings!...

Super economical, makes loads, freezes 100% perfectly and insanely moreish. Make sliders or a big Southern BBQ dinner plate complete with classic sides like Mac and Cheese, Cornbread and Coleslaw! Pulled Pork No self respecting BBQ Shack would cook pulled pork in a slow cooker. They do an overnight smoke, with a pork babysitter on duty all through the night to stoke the coals, monitor and maintain the temperature, and occasionally give the pork a good spray with their secret-formula spritzer....

I made these similar to this Nankhatai and they taste very delicious. These are not 100% healthy as there is sugar used in it. If making them for toddlers or kids, do use organic sugar or jaggery. There is about 1 tsp sugar and 1.25 tsp ghee in each biscuit. I have used ghee and it can be replaced with unsalted butter. More Ragi RecipesRagi ladooEggless ragi cakeRagi coconut cookies...

FavoritePinShare A quick and easy guacamole that has creamy and delicious homemade ranch inside! The flavor is amazing and will definitely be a hit! Holy Guacamole! Ok I totally had to say it… get it! Ha It’s pretty late right now as I am writing this post so everything is seeming hilarious to me. But this ranch guacamole is no joke my friends. It is awesome. I love a good guac recipe and that is probably because I love avocados....
