Garlic and Herbs Infused Focaccia breadwith Cherry Tomatoes, Jalapeno and red bell pepper

Focaccia is a flat oven baked Italian  bread and it’s texture is similar to Pizza. You can have it s a side dish with any soup or as a sand-which  bread.

I wan to have a pizza as I write about this fabulous focaccia bread. I’ve been making this bread from a long time but nowadays kinda so occupied with my 1 year old that I hardly get time to bake or cook something special. So, the other day my husband wanted to eat some soup and bread for dinner. So first thing thing came to my mind was to bake some good focaccia bread.

Stuffed Mango Rabri

Mangoes what even more should I say? The king of fruits and my love for mangoes….Mangoes are in season and especially alphonso. In India my uncle used to send us boxes of alphonso mangoes from Bombay which taste amazing and the fragrance…Oh! boy what should I even say i still remember the fragrant of those mangoes. It gets difficult to get good alphonso here in US, this time I made sure to search beforehand from where I can get good alphonso mangoes. So finally I ordered boxes of mangoes and when the boxes arrived  I couldn’t resist myself from digging into them.

Paneer Tikka

As you guys know how obsessed I am with Panner (Indian Cottage Cheese). I just love paneer. Paneer Tikka is one of my family’s favorite snack to order whenever we go out to eat. They all love it so much and so does me…:-D

Panner Tikka is basically paneer cubes marinated in a yogurt based spicy mixture with onions and bell peppers than arranged on skewers and grill or bake in oven. Traditionally in restaurants they are made in tandoor but you can make it in oven or stove top.

Onion & Tomato Rava Uttapam.

Uttapam is a popular South Indian breakfast dish, it is traditionally made from rice and lentil(dal) batter which requires preparation like soaking the grains and grinding them, but this Rava uttapam is an instant one. It does not require much preparation. I like to prepare Rava uttapam for breakfast as it is a hassle free dish which prepares in no time and it is really a good and wholesome breakfast too. This recipe requires yogurt, sooji / Rava or semolina and vegetables of your choice, here I have used onion, tomato and coriander. You can use capsicum, spring onion, corn anything you have in your refrigerator.
