Cucumber Sandwhich and Paneer Cutlets

Posted by Raje on Friday, June 9, 2006 at 10:00 am. 0 Comments.

For today’s lunch I packed cucumber sandwiches. Shilpi’s sandwiches have tomatoes in them, but I omitted those for Aditya. He is allergic to raw tomatoes. Also the sandwiches have a sour cream spread in them instead of mayo. Again Aditya is allergic to raw eggs. The paneer cutlets are nothing but slices of paneer coated [...]

Simple Focaccia

Posted by Raje on Thursday, May 11, 2006 at 12:10 pm. 0 Comments.

Focassia is an Italian flat bread. It also has toppings like the pizza, but lacks the sauce that usually goes over it. Also it is generally thicker than the pizza crust and is also used to make sandwiches. This recipe is similar to the Pizza recipe. So the Ingredients and quantities stay the same. For [...]

I love to make yoghurt at home and prefer it any day to the store bought one. I had lost my culture during the winter and had been depending on the store brand all winter. I did try to begin my own batch during the winter, but without success. Two days ago I gave it [...]

Last night my son decided he wanted pizza at 11:30 pm. I think I still need to figure out how to make him eat a proper meal before sleeping. Most days he eats reasonably well, but occasionally he refuses to eat anything I suggest. This had been one of those days. Anyway, here he is [...]

This is a dish I used to make even as a kid in India. When I was growing up pizza was not as easily available in India as it is now. To satisfy my pizza cravings I would pile up some toppings on a slice of bread; sprinkle with cheese and bake in the oven [...]

My son loves bread and jam (or jelly as he calls it) for breakfast or a snack. Strawberries are in season right now and there is nothing like fresh homemade jam. I really don’t like the store bought variety as I find them too sweet for my taste. Those who like their jam a little [...]

I came across the marinade in another recipe and decided to personalize it a little. The garlic is my addition and increased the cumin used. I did not use the spicy Indian chili powder I usually use. Instead used the one which came in my spice rack. It was delicious and even my two year [...]
