Sausages in Ketchup

I just had to put this recipe before I forget it, because this recipe is so easy that it will get lost amidst the other mighty dishes on the blog. I first learnt this recipe from Arun's mom. She used to make this dish when she had no mood of cooking & wanted to close the kitchen soon, to be with us in the living room for a game of cards. :) Last week, this recipe came handy when we wanted to watch a movie on the television & I had to quickly finish off the kitchen chores.

I have used "Lincolnshire Sausages", cos its the tastiest of all sausages what you get here in the UK. You can use any type of sausages or frankfurters. This can be had as a quick under 20 minute dinner or even as an appetizer. I suggest, you use the cocktail sausages when it is made as an appetizer. It will be a change from the usual "just roast the sausages" recipe. Take your notes and pen down this one fast. :)

Ingredients:
  • a pack of sausages (6-7 sausages approx)
  • 1 medium onion (thinly sliced lengthwise)
  • 4-5 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 tsp oil
  • salt & loads of pepper for seasoning
  • chopped coriander leaves (optional)
Method:
  1. Cut the sausages into 1/2 inch thick round slices. If you are using cocktail sausages, do not cut it.
  2. Heat a non stick frying pan and add the oil. We are using very little oil because sausages will ooze out oil while cooking. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions. Saute well till it is translucent.
  3. Now add the sausage slices & mix well. Let the sausages get cooked and slightly roasted. Stir frequently. Add salt at this stage & some pepper. (more the pepper, better the taste).
  4. When you think that the sausage is fully cooked and starting to get brownish on the outside, add in the ketchup. Mix well until the ketchup coats well with the sausages. Add some more pepper if you want. Keep it on the gas for few more minutes and switch it off.
  5. I used some generous amount of coriander leaves & mixed it at the end to give that "Desi" flavour. {My "Indianness" will never leave me and go ;) }

    Your sausage appetizer will be a big hit at my house! I like how you seasoned them -- the more pepper, the better. :) What kind of card games do you play?

3 Ingredients / 3 Minute Microwave PEDAS

It's Celebration time all the way!! Why? Because My FB fan page has just reached 150 "Likes" & am so thrilled. Also, the festivities will start from August in India. First coming up is "Raksha Bandhan", the festival which celebrates the relationship & bond of a Brother & Sister. So I thought of coming up with an easy to make Indian Sweet Dish, "Peda". A "Peda" is a North Indian Milk Sweet mainly consisting of Khoa (thickened whole milk), sugar & other Indian flavourings like saffron & cardamom seeds. Pedas are usually made during festivities or for offerings made in the temple for deities. This recipe is a simple process of the same "time consuming" Pedas where the Milk is kept on the heat for hours to make khoa & then goes to the next process. This is the first time for me as well & I have taken this recipe from "showmethecurry.com" the cookery website of Hetal & Anuja. And I must say...

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!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta...

Paneer Couscous Salad

Last two weeks were so hectic for me that I didn't find time to even open my blog page. Lots of friends coming home, cooking, eating junk, visiting places, our famous festival "Vishu" came up  & finally I ended up getting sick. I am still in bed but was so frustrated doing nothing that I thought let me post one of my healthy salad recipes which I had promised earlier. I saw this salad recipe in one of the BBC cookery shows & was quiet eager to make it. The original recipe suggests the use of Halloumi instead of Paneer. Halloumi is a type of Greek cheese made of mostly Goat's milk. It has the same texture of that as Paneer, hence I used Paneer. Must say, It was quite filling and delicious, perfect for a Summer afternoon. Ingredients: 200 gm couscous 200 ml hot vegetable stock / hot chicken stock 400 g can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 courgette/zucchini (sliced) 200 gm paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese), cut 1 inch length wise 2 medi...
