Ok, so you’ve made your ricotta or cottage cheese. At times, say when serving as a light snack [diced], it would be nice to flavor it, right? Thats what I thought and tried this out. You’ll need to look up the previous recipe post on making Ricotta at home if you want the same look [...]

Ok, so I love potatoes. Who doesn’t? You can stuff pies, bread, paranthas [a kind of indian roti bread], mash it, fry, boil it, steam it and oh, you can even eat it.
This one builds on a previously published recipe - Stuffed Potatoes. If you haven’t seen it, do take a quick look first.

1 Medium size onion
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 tsp freshly grated black pepper
1 tbsp [optional] [...]

My mother in law spent the week end with us. Ignoring the traditionally spouted disadvantages of having MIL in the house, the most obvious advantage is her cooking. Good, old fashioned, hearty Punjabi / North Indian food at its best. She took on the job of making breakfast and she made what she calls ‘Makki [...]
