Indoor/Outdoor Grill Review and Grilled Vegetables Flatbread sandwich
CSNStores had asked me if I would be willing to do a product review and I gladly agreed. They have more than 200 online stores and choosing one product was no easy task. But then we had plans of buying a grill and we used …
Indian Spiced Potato Fry/ Aloo Curry
Is the weekend here yet? Somebody please say, yes 🙂 I had a crazy hectic week at work and could not wait for it to get over. We had two of our out-of-town directors at our office and that meant more work, running from one meeting to another, extra tasks, production issues and apart from that finishing our regular work. Phew! I am so glad that is over with. As if that is not enough I have developed cold and that means constant sneezing, sniffling and headaches. Who gets a cold smack right in the middle of blazing hot summer?
As a result cooking is taking a back seat and nothing interesting is happening in our kitchen. Luckily DH ventured into the kitchen and offered to cook something spicy and interesting. He had seen this Spiced Potato Curry on Manjula’s Kitchen and decided to give it a try.
Not only is this easy to make, the taste is delicious too. Since it has spices like coriander and fennel it is aromatic too. We had this along with rice and rasam and we had a wonderful, comforting meal. This reminded me so much of the baked Potato cubes that I make.

Eggless Cinnamon Coffee Cake
Â
So what is a Coffee Cake? Turns out it is a class of cake intended to be served with coffee or during breaks. They do not need to contain coffee in them. Coffee cakes are typically flavored with cinnamon, nuts, and fruits. These cakes sometimes have a crumbly topping called as Streusel.Â
It has been a while since I posted recipe for cakes/muffins; not because I have not been baking, but because the baking experiments were not successful and not worthy of posting them here on the blog. The baking that I do is all eggless and I am on look for recipes that are egg free.Â
I recently purchased Ener-G egg replacer and wanted to experiment something with it.  This is used as a substitute for egg. I chose this Cinnamon Coffee Cake as it was simple and not laden with calories. So I finally baked it and below are some positives and negatives as I found them.
Black Bean Cornbread Bake/ Casserole
I had this dish almost 10 years ago at the company cafeteria I used to work for way back then. (Aww shucks, that was a decade ago, I cannot believe how time flies!) That was during the height of dot com boom and everything in …
