Cooking with My Baby

                               Chicken stuffed with mushrooms flavored with Indian spices without a drop of oil. What more can you ask for!!!              This delectable dish can be served with a side of rice to make a complete meal. Chicken breast is stuffed spiced mushrooms and covered in a saran wrap and foil and boiled in pot of hot water till the chicken is thoroughly cooked. In this method, chicken absorbs all the juices of mushrooms while cooking and remains tender and moist without addition of any fat.  Next time, I would prefer to make the chicken breast thinner. If you want the rolls to be thinner, wait for the chicken to cool off a bit and then cu. I was too hungry impatient , so cut the roll as soon as it was out and enjoyed my scrumptious lunch. Ingredients: 1 boneless chicken breast 1 tsp olive oil 5 white mushrooms (chopped) 2 garlic cloves( chopped) ½ chopped onion ½ tsp chilli powder ¼ tsp garam masala powder ¼ tsp cumin powder salt n

                       My mamma loves to cook recipes which she sees in television. If she likes some recipe, she is very prompt to make it immediately for dinner. She has had her quota of failures and successes. Me and my dad used to still do tease her a lot, if her recipe didnt turn out great. Poor mamma.. She's one adorable cute lady who is always smiling. She never scolded me or was angry at me EXCEPT during studies.. She was very strict when it came to education. I was a tomboy as a kid, always wanted to play, climb trees and bruise my knees. I wasn't interested in studies   but then who is. ... Mamma made sure I studied regularly and I used to read novels inside my books....Did I mention, I am completely crazy about books. I stay up late at nights till 3am just go to sleep without knowing the end of the story and if I am forced to sleep leaving my book incomplete, I lay tossing and turning throughout the night. Then I get up early in the morning and finish the book and

                        During college days, it used to be very very tight schedule in the morning, getting ready and running to catch the train. If we used to miss first train it would be late for the second connecting train.If you have traveled frequently in Mumbai by local trains you will know what I am talking about. Its a big accomplishment, starting from climbing in the completely jammed packed first class compartment of fast train. cross over to the other side to get down at Kurla.. Start running on the overbridge to reach the harbor line. Catch the train to nerul.. Again run to catch the autorickshaw. Reach the college elevator to realise that there are 20 people before you in queue to board the elevator.. run across the four floors and reach the classroom...              You tell me, wont you be hungry after so much of adventure early in the morning. so we used to eat dabbas (lunch boxes) right after or in our first lecture. We were group of 7-8 friends  and 3-4 dabbas were

                     The holy month of Shravan is coming up and its the time when most of Indians abstain from eating non vegetarian food. Its during this month, when you start craving for forbidden stuff, cakes being one of them. So here's the eggless chocochip muffins for taking care of your cravings in Shravan and for my lots of friends who dont eat egg..                      We are waiting for couple of friends who are coming over,, Yuppie, ya thats the reaction I have when I learn guests are dropping in. I am super thrilled, as I will be able to cook something special for special people as well as I don't have to worry about the calories, they get shared ;).                         And the second most important reason is we love having people around... Right from childhood, I am used to a house filled sometimes overfilled with people... Whenever I visit Mumbai, I am so glad to meet loads of friends and family. Me and Neil make up our quota of family n friends fun

    Ahan, finally I made tarts. I have been planning to make them since so long but was always afraid of the tart pastry not being flaky and being undercooked or multiple of things that can go wrong. I was very very apprehensive of trying them. But I did it, made my first ever tarts filled with spinach and paneer. They turned out pretty good for the first attempt. The crust was nice flaky and crumbly. But I have tough time rolling out pastry in afternoon heat. So next time, evening is going to be my tart time. I remember me and Abhi sharing fruit filled tartlets in farmer's market in Sunnyvale. They were so crisp and just melted in mouths with fresh fruits topped on them. I so wanna make them, but with due respect to my ever increasing waistline, have decided to cut down fats n sugars from our diet..... So healthy food coming up..... I hope I will be able to stick to my new year's resolution atleast this year,,Getting back in shape.....             The classic combination
