Apricot oats bar

I had been watching giada's shows and this caught my attention. Wanted to give it a try and it turned out delicious(with slight changes)! Thanks Giada :).
Recipe ingredients 
7 oz apricot jam and 6 oz mixed fruit jam(kissan)
8 dried apricots
1 3/4 th cup all purpose flour

In a small bowl, mix the 2 jams and chopped apricots.
In a large bowl, whisk egg; add flour, sugar, cinnamon and baking soda.
Add butter, walnuts, oats, vanilla extract stir the whole dough until well mixed - this will be ur crust mixture.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (based on ur oven make).
Spread half of the crust mixture in a 11x9 in pan.
With a spatula, spread the jam on the crust leaving 1/2 inch border around the edge of the crust.
Cover the filling with the remaining crust mixture and spread evenly; slightly press to flatten.

Chocolate dipped strawberries - Bananas

After a long time, i tried this party hit dessert :). Here i want to share the simple and damn easy process.
Fresh strawberries  - 12
Half ripen banana   -  1
Semi sweet chocolate chips - 1.5 cups (i used nestle chocolate chips)
Almonds  - 1/2 cup minced



1. Clean and dry strawberries. Preserve the crowns. Chop the banana into round slices.
2. Freeze banana slices in freezer for atleast an hour.
3. Add 1 tbsp of oil/butter to chocolate chips and microwave for 2 mins(little less or more based on power of ur microwave). 
4. Now, dip each of the strawberry in chocolate and then in nuts and let it set on a wide tray. Repeat the process for frozen banana slices as well.
5. Refrigerate all dipped strawberries and bananas for an hour or until chilled. 
Thats it, yummy choco dip strawberries and bananas are ready.

PS : if microwave is not available, you can use traditional method for melting chocolate. For this, take about a cup of water in a sauce pan. Place another vessel on top of it, make sure the top bowl does not touch water in the sauce pan. Pour chocolate chips in the top bowl, switch on the flame and keep stirring until the chips melts.

Almond - Wheat Cookies

Hi All, today i came up with zero-butter yet healthy/tasty recipe! Try it and enjoy the taste.


Prep Time : 8 mins
Bake Time : 25 mins (or until done)
Count :  22 cookies (based on the size of patty you make)

Here are the ingredients :

Wheat flour   -  1 1/2 cups

And here are the quick steps for prep and bake :

--> Set the oven temperature to 360 degrees F.

This colorful munching dessert(lets say ;) ), attracts everyone and mostly kids just love it ;)  Very easy to prepare. Summarizing briefly, the procedure i followed :

--> Prepare jello as per the packet instructions and let it be in a bowl.
--> Cut each orange into 2 halves.

--> Arrange these empty shells in a tray that can sit in your refrigerator.
--> Now pour jello liquid (prepared in first step) into each of the cut halves.
 --> Refrigerate jello oranges atleast for 5 hours.
--> Take out jello oranges and cut into desirable size.

Rainbow Jello Oranges

Instead of single color, i used different colors (which means different flavours) :
Color                        Jello Flavour
Blue                          Berry Blue
Green                        Lime
Red                           Strawberry

Tip : Ice-cream scoop can be used to scrape out the insides of oranges.
You can use as many colors as you want.

Vegetable Frittata

Made this as breakfast. It includes lot many healthy options. Easy to prepare, healthy to eat. I won second prize for this recipe as part of Savory Baking Competition held by an online group. I named so since i have used wide range of vegetables along with egg. If you don't like egg, you can use egg replacements (haven't tried it though with egg replacement :) ).
Ingredients :
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 small cucumbet [i used persian cucumber; zuccini can also be used]
2 green chillies finely chopped
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms [fresh or dried]
few beans, finely chopped
1/2 carrot thinly sliced
6 bok choy florets  nicely chopped
1 tablespoon butter
8 eggs (i used 6 egg whites and just 2 full eggs)
1/2 cup milk
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
small amount of Maggi Hot and Sweet sauce
Vegetable Frittata
Preparation
Pre-heat oven for 400 degrees F.

Spread butter inside [all around] 8 inch pan.

Place onion, green chillies,cucumber, mushrooms, beans, carrots, bok choy in 8 inch pan. [Arrange one by one as shown in the pics]
Cook the vegetables in oven for 3-5 mins or until they become half crunchy, half baked.
Step-by-step process of vegetable frittata

Now, in a bowl, beat eggs, pour milk, add salt, pepper, hot & sweet sauce, whist altogether until the mixture is little bit fluffy with bubbles.
Pour the mixture on to the vegetables evenly.
Let it cook for 25 to 35 minutes.
For checking, poke with a fork in the middle and see if the fork come out clearly without food sticking to it. That is the right consistency of baking.
Once it is well cooked, take out of oven and let it cool down for couple of minutes, slice it into pieces, and serve it hot with oranges on the side :)   [don't forget to switch off the oven ;) ]

    Paneer Tikka Masala

    My most awaiting dish. I always wanted to try these kind of special recipes from Paneer but keep on postponing thinking that would be a long process. When i made it yesterday, i tried to make it as easy as possible as i am lazy ;)  and it turned out delicious. My husband loved it very much :) I will be happy when he loves my recipes :)
    Here, i would like to share the recipe for my wonderful audience...
    Ingredients for this recipe :
    Paneer  -   8 oz
    2 medium onions
    5 medium tomatoes
    1 green bell pepper [capsicum]
    Cumin seeds
    few bay leaves
    1 tbsp kasoori methi
    3 green thai chillies
    1 tsp Corn startch
    Oil to saute
    Handful of chopped cilantro
    Salt to taste
    Masala powders:
    3/4 tsp red chilli powder
    1 tsp corriander powder
    1/4 tsp cardamom powder
    3/4 tsp garam masala powder
    1 tsp homemade peanut powder [optional]


    Paneer Tikka Masala [Crown shape with napkin at the back]

    Paneer Marination :
    Cut paneer into small cubes.
    Mix all these with paneer :
    1 tbsp of yogurt
    1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste [u can make from fresh ginger garlic or can use store product]
    1/2 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp red chilli powder
    1/2 tsp corriander powder
    1/2 tsp homemade peanut powder [optional]
    Mix all the above marination ingredients with paneer, close the lid and let it marinate for an hour and half. you can refrigerate it.

    Marinated Paneer. I marinated for 2 hours. but min 1 hour shld be fine.

    Make tomato puree out of 5 medium tomatoes and set it aside. Mix little water to corn starch and make it as liquid without lumps, keep it aside.

    Cooking Procedure :
    Take a pan with oil to saute. Add the marinated paneer pieces to heated oil and let the paneer saute until golden brown on both the sides, take them into a bowl and set them aside.
    In the same pan again take oil enough to saute.
    Once the oil heat up, add the ingredients in the following order :
    cumin seeds; bay leaves; kasoori methi;
    add chopped bell pepper;  salt; close the lid and let the bell pepper cook for atleast 5 mins on medium flame.
    Now, add thinly chopped onions, green chillies, ginger-garlic paste. Stir altogether and let it cook for 5 to 7 mins.
    Once the onions become tender, add tomato puree, mix altogether, and let it cook until the tomato puree is almost done.
    Itz time to add "Masala Powders [mentioned above along with other ingredients]". Stir altogether, cook for another couple of minutes.
    Now, add the sauteed paneer pieces to the gravy, let it cook for 2 mins. Add Corn starch liquid, let the entire gravy get thick.
    Finally, add cilantro and serve it hot with Rotis.
    Tastes yumm with rotis

    Tweaks of the day : 
    1) Bell pepper takes time to cook. So, i cook bell pepper first and when it is almost done, then i will add onions to saute. If we add the onions first and then bell peppers, then by the time bell pepper is done, onions get burnt! so, to avoid that, i cook bell pepper first.
    2) Kasoori methi gives nice flavour to gravy recipes like this.
    3) Never add corn starch directly to any curry. Dilute it with little water and then add that liquid to curry.
