Broccoli & Egg Whites Stir Fry December 7, 2010

Broccoli is a very nutritional vegetable. Until few years ago, I did not like the vegetable and seldom cooked it at home. Once I acquired it’s taste, I like it very much and don’t mind making it at home once in a while. I usually steam it or just saute it in some oil with salt, pepper and some garlic. Lately, I have been making quick stir fry with basic Indian spices and some tomato, to make broccoli  more  flavorful. To make this stir fry even more healthier, I add some boiled egg whites to the fry. Egg whites are mostly for U, who loves eggs & meats, and is trying to eat healthy. Broccoli and egg whites stir fry is certainly a one healthy side dish to go with plain rice!

Soya Nuggets Curry October 9, 2010

I am not a big fan of soya nuggets and these nuggets are strangers in my kitchen. However, I like soya granules and cook it once in a while. The reason I don’t particular like soya nuggets is, no matter how much spice I add to it, it always tastes bland and I also do not like the texture of nuggets. I have eaten soya nuggets at my relatives places and it tasted fine. I tried following their recipe but cooking good soya nuggets just wasn’t my cup of tea! I normally soak the nuggets in boiling water, squeeze out all the water from the nuggets and cook it along with a vegetable such as spinach or beans.  No matter how I cooked, it never appealed to my taste buds.

Paneer Bhurji February 25, 2010

The last time I made some homemade panner, I used only half of it for my Paneer Tikka and the other half was sitting in the fridge, waiting helplessly to be consumed. I went ahead and made Paneer Bhurji with it. This Bhurji looks and tastes like scrambled egg, not quite but very close.  I used homemade paneer but one can use store bought paneer, which is readily available in almost all Indian groceries stores.

Asparagus Stir Fry January 15, 2010

I made this stir fry couple of days ago. I took some pictures while preparing it but was contemplating whether to blog it or not. There has been a two-week drought in my posts and could not resist to blog. Actually, I do have a post that is ready to publish but did not want to start the year with a cooking disaster post, therefore here I am with asparagus stir fry.

For a good asparagus stir fry, the key is how fresh and tender the asparagus is. The tender the vegetable, tastier the stir fry. I cut the vegetable into small pieces and stir fried it with basic some onion, green chilies, garlic, chili powder and some sesame seed powder. I thought the taste was fine and has a taste of cluster beans.

Total Time: 15 minutes

Preparation Time: 5 minutes

Cooking Time: 10 minutes

Serves: 2-3

Printable Recipe

Ingredients:

• Oil
• 1 Small Onion Chopped
• 3-4 Green Chilies cut
• 1 tsp Garlic Paste
• 1 tsp Chili Powder (adjust to taste)

• 2-3 tsp dry roasted Sesame Seed Powder

Preparation:

• Add turmeric, salt and stir. Add asparagus and stir.

• Cover the pan and cook for 3-5 minutes until asparagus is tender.
