First "Guest Recipe" on LAC of "Minced Meat Pasta with Rum & Cheese"

This recipe of "Minced Meat Pasta with Rum & Cheese" is brought to you by my very good friend Simran Wahan, who has tried & tasted herself at her home & recommended the same to be published on my blog. I was also super excited as this is the very first "Guest" Recipe & that too from a non blogger. So excuse the clarity of the photographs as she had no intention of sending this recipe to me but later changed her mind. Thank You Simran for your lovely recipe, and am sure your recipe will be seen world wide & will be tried out by some foodies at their respective kitchens, including me. ;)

  • 5-6 cloves of garlic (crushed)
  • 10 gm sugar
  • loads of grated cheese (preferably mozzarella or cheddar)

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!!

No matter how simple or elaborate, these tasty appetisers always hit the spot.  I am going to share the recipes of two of the many popular Mezze dishes that you can whip up in no time at home, for your quick and light dinner. One is the lusciously creamy “Hummus” that would beg you to be scooped up on to your warmed pitta breads (please don’t bother making  pitta!!) and the second dish is Baba Ganoush, a healthier option to Hummus. Baba Ghanoush is made of ro

Tandoori Chicken (Indian BBQ Chicken)

Hello Everyone! Its been a really long time sine I posted any dish on my blog. I was busy holidaying and lazying around for the past 3 weeks. I have umpteen number of dishes to post on the blog but was not getting time to put any of it.
