Kitchen Encounters Delicious and "Cook with what you have" kind of attitude with health in mind is what I do. A twist to the regular and thinking a bit beyond the ordinary.

I found some really tender zucchini at the supermarket. I picked them up and instinctively knew I needed to make stuffed with Indian spices. Today I decided to give it a shot in the airfryer where I can avoid the mushiness and make them just right. I stuffed them with some regular spices, a little oil and then some crushed peanuts. Brushes with oil, airfried them until just right. Tangy, spicy and cooked just right, they were delicious with rice and green mung dal. Would you ever try this?

Just a yummy experiment !! Can you guess what it is….?

Veggie extravaganza! To beat the summer heat today after putting the house in order, airfryer was put to good use. Delicious salad with honey, mustard herb dressing. Grilled pineapple and sweet potato with some nice dressing. Just the perfect meal!

This yoghurt based dish is one the most favorite of Indians. Yes pakoda kadhi! Who doesn’t love it?! I have started to air fry pakodas and enjoy the guilt free kadhi with lots of ghee flavored with garlic and spices. To add some good greens, I added greens that most discard. The green leaves form red radish and green tender leaves of cauliflower! They are so dull of goodness and taste! Delicately flavoured with garlic and nigella seeds, it is a perfect match with rice and kadhi. A good afternoon siesta had to be part of the day after this! What do you think about this combination?!

Certain memories never go away! This childhood memory of mathris with cold karela takes me back to delcious afternoon snack at granny’s! Shared over stories with cousins, it’s still lives on in my mind! Tangy and fresh raw Mango salsa is a memory a few decades old! Back then my little son would look forward to it when he returned from school during summers which helped beat the heat. Pakhal a rice preparation from college times when a dear student friend dished out to this gem to beat the summer heat in Odisha! I added a little carrot beans sauté with South Indian flavours of podi. Certain memories just live on….helps us to keep our younger self alive!

Airfryer is such a saviour after a long day! Since lunch was a lot of work, for dinner it was a yummy and healthy quick baked dish that just had no plans yet turns out to be a close cousin of ratatouille! Half baked rolls were cut and smeared with oil I’ve oil and some spieces! Airfried and they were scrumptious and ready to be relished with the aubergine and feta bake!

Raw mangoes and karela are a match made in heaven. One butter and other sour come together for a perfect dish that’s great in taste and is also the best way to beat the heat! These were fresh and hence made stuffed Karela with grated mango, onions and spieces and paired them with spinach kadhi! A good siesta was unavoidable! Happy belly! Sinful hot day!

It’s really hot these days. Hence cooking is short and something that helps cool. Lunch was a delicious aubergine potatoes with spinach made in Bengali style and served with kasundhi. Finishing it off with mint chaas. Really delicious and light of a warm day. Dinner was a bowl of salad with raw mango pieces that help fight the heat. Served with thaalipeeth made with home grown methi leaves, a little radish and zucchini. Smeared with ghee and a little garlic chutney made the dinner delicious.

Summer coolers! Fans at full power, cold water and showers…everything possible to cool done from 36° heat these days. It’s been over a week of sun blazing and hot days and nights. To cool down food can be helpful. With lack of hunger I am trying to make cool meals. Today’s dinner was melon cooler made with the pulp and seeds of the melon with mint, rock salt and bubbly water! Yes the pulp we throw is filled with flavor and seeds are so nutritious. No waste! Made modified chaat with tortilla chips, tamarind potatoes, zucchini-potato-tomato yoghurt, boiled peas and chutneys! Just out of the world! Polished it all off with berry yoghurt icecream! One more day done! Next week it’s cooler! Can’t wait!
