Vegan Fish Fry Recipe / Indian Style Fried Tofu / Crispy Masala Fried Tofu
Vegan Fish Fry/Tofish Fry Recipe is a healthy and tasty Appetizer prepared using Tofu. This is almost similar to our South Indian Fish Fry recipe with Ginger, Garlic and other Spice powders. We include Tofu regularly in our meal and often make this simple Vegan Fish Fry/Crispy Fried Tofu and have it for lunch or Dinner along with some salad. Unlike Paneer, Tofu doesn't have great taste and flavor, so we prefer to add up spices and fry just like Fish Fry and hence I named as Vegan Fish Fry. Here I am sharing two ways of making Vegan Fish Fry, one is shallow fried with dry flours coating and other one is just roasted with less oil and no flours coating. Now off to the recipe..

Sambar Vadai Recipe | Hotel Sambar Vadai Recipe | Hotel Style Tiffin Sambar Recipe
Today's recipe is an interesting and delicious South Indian appetizer recipe, Sambar Vadai. Sambar Vadai is nothing but a Soft Medhu Vada served with lots of Tiffin Ghee flavored Sambar. For Sambar Vadai you can use any tiffin Sambar recipe but the freshly roasted and ground sambar spices aka Arachivitta Sambar gives lots of flavor, perfect texture and taste to Sambar Vadai. This Arachivitta Sambar recipe was shared by my friend's Mom. I have tried this sambar a number of times with and without vegetables and every time it turned out finger licking good and flavorful. That too with a extra spoon of ghee on top ghee lovely flavor and taste.

Hyderabadi Chicken 65 Recipe | Andhra Style Chicken 65 | Spicy Chicken Appetizer Recipe
Andhra style Chicken 65 / Hyderabadi chicken 65 recipe with step by step photos. Chicken 65 is an popular appetizer chicken recipe, that is prepared using boneless chicken with nice spices blend. Hyderabadi Chicken 65 is little different from the regular version, where the deep fried chicken is sauteed with spicy yogurt sauce. Few weeks ago I happened to watch this recipe video on you tube in telugu language by a popular restaurant's chef and impressed with it. Then I remember about the chicken 65 which we had in one of the restaurant near my place, it was really different from regular chicken 65 and the chicken pieces were nicely coated with spice powders. I thought they used to saute in spices after deep frying the chicken and tried it that way as per my guess. But the result was not good and chicken pieces turned dry and the masala did not coated with the chicken. Then after seeing that video I came to know that they use yogurt. At first I hesitated to try with yogurt, then first time tried with small amount for chicken and to my surprise it turned out good and it tasted almost same like the one we had in restaurant. Then decided to share it on my blog too. If you haven't tried chicken 65 this way, please give it a try this weekend, I am sure you will love this spicy, juicy and flavorful chicken 65.

Homemade Vegetable Stock Recipe | Basic Vegetable Stock or Broth Recipe | How To Make Veg Broth for Soup!
Homemade Vegetable Stock or Broth Recipe with Step wise pictures. From this weekend I am going to share Kitchen Basics/DIY/How To's post on Saturdays. Just framed a theme by myself to be active on weekends. Lets see how it goes :) So for this Saturday, I am sharing Homemade Vegetable Stock under Kitchen Basics Theme. I usually prefer Homemade stock for soups and I never bought from stores. But for me making stock is a big task, though it is a simple process somehow I am lazy to do it. When I decided to share Kitchen Basics, the first thing came to my mind was Vegetable Stock. So that I can make try my bookmarked recipes.
I mostly prefer light and clear soup and milk based or cheesy creamy soups are not my kind. For most of the soup recipes you need stock or Broth. Stock or Broth is nothing but a water simmered with lots of vegetable or meat for an hour or more. Instead of adding plain water to soup adding broth gives good taste, flavor and healthy too. Basic Stock can also be flavored with some herbs and spices.
I am sharing the basic vegetable stock recipe without much herbs and spices. Here I used 5-6 vegetables but you can use any available vegetables and spices.

Manchurian is an Indo-Chinese Starte. It can also be served as a Side for Fried Rice. Manchurian can be Vegetarian like Vegetable, Gobi, Paneer, Baby corn, Mushroom or even with idly/ Idly Manchurian. And Non-Vegetarian like Chicken, Fish, Egg, shrimp and more. Of all the Manchurian recipes, chicken Manchurian is my favorite. Even my kids love this Chicken Manchurian more than the Gobi Manchurian. There are tons of method to prepare this Chicken Manchrian, Today I am sharing the simple and easy to make version. This is a Chicken Manchurian Dry Version. Like my Chilli Chicken recipe, here also I did not use Vinegar, Chinese Salt, artificial food colour and for colour i used kashmiri red chilli powder. And for the manchurian sauce i used corn flour and water instead chicken stock. Chicken stock sure gives you nice flavor and taste that too if you making a manchurian gravy. Now off to the recipe.

Tofu Tikka - Easy Tofu Recipes
Usually i make curry, stir fry or fried rice with Tofu but this time wanted to make some easy appetizer or snack with Tofu. My first choice was any Chinese Starter but due to lack of few ingredients i finally ended up with this Tofu Tikka. Tikka is a popular Indian appetizer mostly made using meat/chicken with the marinade of Yogurt & Indian spices combo. For a vegetarian option Paneer is commonly used in tikka preparations. Here, i used Extra Firm Tofu to make it healthy & Yummy. It can be grilled or baked in oven or u can cook in stove top also. I toasted them in an iron skillet, the tikka came out so perfect and tofu tasted so good with spices blend. This is one of the easy & simple appetizer for any get together/Potluck/any party. Sure a crowd pleaser , give it a try and u will like it.

I started cooking broccoli for the past 3 years only, initially I hesitate to cook mushroom, broccoli, dunno the exact reason but strong hesitation was there...I pick the mushroom packets n broccoli crowns but at the end of shopping my mind will change n will keep it in their respective places. This is what happening in the initial days here. One fine day V bought this Broccoli in hot garlic sauce n veg fried rice from Chinese Restaurant, after tasting the broccoli I started loving it and from that time started using it in my regular cooking.

Pinwheel Pizzas
Its time for The Gourmet Seven recipes and this month we have to cook from BBC Good Food under the theme "Picnic Food". I don't have the habit of packing foods while we go out for a picnic or long trip except some snacks and fruits. With the same thought, when the group members decided to cook under Picnic Food theme, I started searching for a snack/appetizer recipe. And my search ended after seeing this Pinwheel Pizzas @ bbcgoodfood.com

Chicken 65 / Indian Style Fried Chicken ~ Spicy n Juicy!
After a very long time I am posting a non-vegetarian recipe, and this is V's favorite chicken recipe. I started cooking/eating non-veg recipes only after my marriage and mostly I make Chicken Biryani or Chicken Curry and sometimes this chicken 65 for him. Initially I was not good at making chicken 65 & later learned myself to make a perfect crispy, spicy n juicy fried chicken from my faults.
