My recipe is Chocolate Squares which is inspired by a recipe from the book Baker’s Fiesta by Sangeeta Khanna. I saw this recipe a long time ago and decided it would be perfect for this month’s contest. I hope you will like it too.
Add to favoritesCoconut Cookies
This is one of my Mom’s recipes. This is a very easy recipe to make. My brothers and I used to make this when we were little elementary schoolers. If I were to rename this cookie I would call it a quick cookie or something like that. It would take around 3 minutes to prepare this and 15 minutes to bake. And another nice thing about this cookie is that its an egg-less cookie. This cookie is for those of you who wants something quick & egg-less.
Add to favoritesSteamed Delight
When I saw that the ingredient was rice for the contest, I remembered one of my childhood favorites (Ila Ada and Kozhukatta). Both have the same dough and the same filling, but that they are in different shapes. Ila ada is made by spreading the dough thinly onto banana leaves and has a sweet filling in the center, while kozhukkatta is just the rice dough shaped like a ball with the same sweet filling stuffed in the center. Both are steamed, hence making both very healthy and light.

Pal Kozhukattai is a popular chettinad sweet dumpling made from rice flour. It’s typically prepared on special occasions on Ganesh chaturti. It is also known as milk modak. It can be prepared in many ways. Some recipes use jaggery instead of sugar & normal milk instead of coconut milk. Either way, it tastes delicious.
Add to favoritesCaramel-Pineapple Phirni
I love phirnis, but this time I wanted to make them with a twist using fresh pineapple chunks. I had some leftover fresh pineapple chunks and also home made caramel syrup, so I decided to combine both together to create this beautiful looking phirni, which is a rich and wonderful dessert. If you are a bit lazy or don’t prefer to make your own caramel syrup, you can definitely get a store bought one. This fruity rice phirni tastes amazing when they served chilled, but you can also enjoy them warm. Adding cream is completely optional.

Add to favoritesPotato Pizza
This recipe inspiration came from me visiting manjula’s website because she has a recipe contest for the month of September 2010 and in this contest we need to come up with a recipe using potato. Thought I might participate in this recipe if at all I get a new recipe idea with potatoes. It kept me thinking as to what new recipe I can make with potato other than the usual curry/sabji etc., out of potatoes. It made me scratch my head all through this week thinking about this potato recipe. So I did search in and out of Google for some new recipes. I saw this recipe in a blog …wondered as “pizza with potato?”…hmm …then said to myself “why not?”… So trying this recipe with some changes to the original recipe…
Add to favoritesSpinach and Broccoli Kofta
In this Spinach and Broccoli Kofta, I have used Broccoli and Spinach as a variation which makes it more healthy especially for kids. As my kids do not eat broccoli and spinach on their own I often try to mix and match different vegetables to make it more tempting for them. The crunchiness of peanuts gives it a unique taste. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Add to favoritesSpinach and Tofu Stuffed Potato Rolls
These Spinach and Tofu Stuffed potato rolls have been our lunch today and we still have leftover! I hope you find it interesting and creative. I used Indian spices to appeal to my hubby’s palate as well.
Add to favoritesDelightful Bread Swirls
These bread swirls are a healthy delightful appetizer. In most of my parties when kids are invited they need something that is easy to hold and filling too. Kids don’t like to carry their food on plate so I got this idea for them but it became a party hit with adults too!
Potato is a versatile veggie that can be eaten in different forms. These bread swirls are crispy on the outside with a soft and cheesy potato stuffing.
