<br />
My son who turned 19 this month is a <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/chickpea-chocolate-truffles-vegan-and.html" target="_blank">chocoholic</a> and loves ferrero rocher chocolate too. This birthday I surprised him by making a ferrero rocher cake. Two of his favourite things in one cake!:D<br />
<br />
The best thing about this ferrero rocher cake is that you don't need to be a professional baker to make it. The icing is fairly simple, you just ice the cake and decorated it with ferrero rocher chocolate. The sides of the cake can be decorated with crushed almonds, ferrero rocher or hazel nuts whatever you have at hand.<br />
<br />
The cake itself not only tastes uberlicious but also looks quite impressive too. The ferrero chocolate has done all the work but the credit goes to you. I would call this sweetly evil! The frosting is also really interesting you just mix some nutella along with butter cream icing spread it on the cake and that's basically your ferrero rocher cake proudy displayed on your tea trolley.<br />
<br />
This cake not only adds spark to a birthday party but works great for any occasion. Try it on a high tea party and your guests will surley be impressed.<br />
<br />
So follow the step by step photo tutorial and learn how to make easy and delicious ferrero rocher cake at home.<br />

<br />
<br />
Gniocchi are Italian dumplings made with potatoes, flour and eggs. No fancy schmancy ingredients just three vegetables and basic pasta components come together to create these delectable tricoloured gniocchi.<br />
<br />
Instead of plain flour gniocchi may also be made with farina 00 (Italian flour) wholewheat flour, stale bread or semolina. Potato Gniocchi are the most popular but other vegetables like pumpkin, tomatoes and spinach may also be used. That's why I have made these tricoloured gniochi using spinach, potatoes and tomarto paste.There are different ways of serving the gniocchi. These can be served over a tomato based sauce or a sauce made with butter and herbs. Sage is the most popular herb used for this purpose. I mostly like to serve mine over a tomato based sauce.<br />
<br />
<br />
There are some secrets for making fluffy and melt in the mouth gniocchi. Firstly mash the potatoes while still warm. Proper proportion of flour is also crucial in making a good gniocchi. Adding more flour results in a chewy texture rather than a soft delicate one. Kneading the gniocchi too much can result in the flour releasing gluten, the product is again a chewy gniocchi. Last but not the least don't over cook the gniocchi or it will turn into a mush. A good gniocchi should still have a good bite to it. For making professional looking gniocchi you can use a gniocchi making board. I haven't used the board so my tricoloured gniocchi has a homemade look to it.<br />

<i><b>Biryani </b>needs no introduction- it's a time honoured dish prepared throughout the year regardless of season or occasion. It's a sunday staple in my house. Sometimes I make <b>chicken biryani</b> and on some other sundays it's <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/chicken-biryani.html" target="_blank">Chicken Biryani</a> either the <b>sindhi or bombay</b> type.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Recently I have developed a secret love for this</i> <i>nawabi or royal <b>biryan</b>i. This is my go to biryani since I first tried out the recipe and now it's my favourite sunday dish, the best one pot meal ever! Nawabi biryani is a combination of aromatic spices saffron infused milk and nuts. </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Blanched <b>almonds</b>, <b>cashews</b> and <b>sesame seeds</b> are ground into a coarse powder and then made into a paste. which in turn enriches the <b>biryani</b> to give it a touch of royality. The nut paste can either be mixed in yogurt or added to the chicken when it's just about done. I however like to add the nuts half way through the cooking process.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I have made <b>Nawabi Biryani </b>both with mutton and chicken and I find both flavours equally tempting. So what are you waiting for folllow the step by step photo tutorial given below and introduce your taste buds to the new and enriched sensational flavour of <b>Nawabi Biryani.</b></i><br />

<br />
<br />
I was alarmed by the agonizing look on DD'S face when she returned from university today. What is it? I asked her is every thing ok? Yes, I just have an extremely sore throat and blocked sinuses.<br />
So my worst fear has come to life, autumn has started to show its effects in the form of sore throats and colds. I headed right into the kitchen to make some turmeric and ginger tea for her. By the time she sipped her ginger tea she already started to feel better. An hour passed by and she was back to the starting point.<br />
<br />
So I started making the second cup of ginger tea. My daughter has actually suffered from severe asthma until she was 14 years of age. Thank God we both defeated this horrible desease, actually we are both warriors. With my day and night research on a natural cure and her taking my advice with reluctance and some optimism asthma was gone for ever. So whenever she has a sore throat I am worried that her asthma might return if I don't take care for her properly. There is always a hidden fear at the back of my mind.<br />
<br />
While making the second cup of tea an idea struck my mind. Why not make some homemade turmeric and ginger lozenges for her so that I don't have to make the ginger and turmeric tea for her again and again. Yes, I could have made a big pot but I prefer making fresh tea evey time. So with a recipe for turmeric and ginger lozenges in mind along with making use of my rusted knowledge of herbal science I succeeded in making a batch of these homemade DIY throat lozenges.<br />
<br />
These turmeric and ginger throat lozenges are made from all natural ingredients and help keep the throat moist thus easing a sore throat and may help in the expulsion of mucous from the throat. I have used rock candy to make these sore throat lozenges but you can replace it with an equal amount of sugar in the recipe. Apart from using turmeric and ginger I have also used licorice tea to execute this recipe. All three ingredients have benefits which are described below.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Turmeric</h2>
<div>
The herb turmeric is composed of a substance called curcumin that is basicaly responsible for the anti-inflammatory, anti viral and anti bacterial properties associated with turmeric. Curcumin also relieves congestion caused by cough and cold.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Ginger</h2>
<div>
Gingerol is the substance responsible for the medicinal properties of ginger. Ginger not only helps in boosting the immune system but also aids the removal of accumalted toxins from the body. Ginger is also a natural decongestent, helping fight throat and respiratory tract infections. It is also the best treatment for expelling phelgm out of the body.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h2>
Licorice</h2>
<div>
Licorice helps to thin the mucous thus helping it's elimination from the body. Licorice root has anti-inflamatory and decongestant properties. It helps to dilate the air passages so that the oxygen can flow freely. </div>

<br />
Mix the rock candy along with water, ginger juice and turmeric powder. Also add the licorice tea if using.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Meanwhile sprinke a generous amount of icing sugar on a plate or tray. Make impressions with the knob of a tea pot lid. This will form moulds for the candy. (got this idea while surfing online)<br />

Drop the candy into the round moulds with the help of a spoon. The candy will be transparent but will become opaque after being coated with icing sugar.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>Eaton Mess is a traditional English dessert made with meringues, strawberries and fresh cream. I have been making this delicious dessert on and off for quite a while until recently when I thought of switching things up a bit and transmuting Eaton Mess Simple Dessert into Eaton Mess Cheesecake.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>This heavenly combination of strawberries and meringues is really easy to assemble. The no bake base consists of a buttery layer of digestive biscuits and butter crowning a luscious filling of chopped strawberries, light as a cloud crushed meringuess along with a cream cheese filling. To make things even more tempting the crown of the cheesecake is topped off with gems of fresh strawberries and more crushed meringues. Mmm... what else do you want?</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>You can also use blue berries or raspberries incase you don't fancy strawberries. Infact it's nice to try out different flavours each time you make Eaton Mess Cheesecake. This cheese cake is really perfect as a make ahead dessert or next time take it to a high tea party and I'm sure </i><i>you </i><i>will be invited again.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Note: The cheesecake will get somewhat soggy when you add the fresh strawberries and meringues. Meaning that it will not set as firmly as a normal cheesecake would.</i><br />

Do you need a side dish that is ready in a snap and a perfect show stopper to complete any meal?<br />
Well, Bombay Aloo aka Bombay Potatoes is one of the best vegetarian/vegan side dishes that never fails to impress. Displaying a dazzling array of flavours this vegetarian side dish can outshine any entree. Serve flanked along side a salad with chapati, paratha or naan and Bombay Aloo turns into a complete vegetarian/vegan meal.<br />
<br />
Bombay Aloo is an Indian curry side dish very popular in the UK. I recently discovered it on my whim to eat out on a Friday night. What I loved about the dish was it's simplicity as well as taste. When I recreated Bombay Aloo in my kitchen, I discovered that it was an optimum recipe for 30 minute dishes provided you have boiled potatoes at hand.<br />
<br />
Basically the Bombay Aloo recipe involves boiling the potatoes until almost done. I have used new jersey potatoes but you can use any potatoes with a lesser starch content. The densely packed starch cells in high starch potatoes tend to swell and break when cooked resulting in a dry crumbly texture. So it is always better to use potatoes that are less starchy for this recipe.<br />
<br />
So you boil the potatoes, prepare masala separately and then toss the quartered potatoes into the cooked masala paste. Simple as that!The masala paste is also pretty straightforward, it consists of basic Pakistani, Indian spices so you don't have to rush to the supermarket to buy a list of complex ingredients.<br />
<br />

<i>A <b>gallete</b> is a rustic free form tart made with a pastry crust or bread dough. The term free form means that you don't need any pie tin or pan for baking this tart. The gallete crust sheet is simply placed on a baking tray with a moist filling on top and the edges are folded up and around the filling.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><b>Galletes</b> can be either sweet or savoury, the filling options for both varients are endless. I am making this <b>savoury zucchini gallete recipe </b>as a segue to end of <b>summer recipes</b>. This rustic and stylish <b>zucchini and ricotta gallete</b> can be <b>served as an appetiser, entree or side dish. </b>I bet you haven't tried my <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/no-fry-low-carb-zuchini-chips.html" target="_blank">Zucchini Chips </a><b> recipe</b> yet. So check it out before you move on.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>For the filling I am making use of zucchinis and ricotta cheeese along with mixed dried herbs for an extra spark of flavour to the savoury gallete recipe. The filling is up to your choice you can use any preferred vegetable instead of zucchini. <b>Vegetable pies</b> and tarts are always healthy but you can make them even healthier by using whole wheat pastry crust. The pastry sheet is everything but flaky so incase you fancy a flakier pastry I suggest repalcing the olive oil with cold butter.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i>You an even use 50 % white flour and 50% whole wheat if you don't like 100% whole wheat flour.</i><br />
<i>I hope you will make this recipe someday but first you must learn how to make this delicious <b>ricotta and zucchini gallete</b>. So follow the step by step photo guide given below and <b>making zucchini and</b> <b>ricotta gallete</b> will be easy peasy from today.</i><br />

<i><b>Samosa</b> is a popular Pakistan/Indian tea time snack, or apetiser. Basically its a triangular savoury pastry filled with potatoes or other vegetables. The non vegetarian variety of <b>samosas</b> consists of lamb mince or a chicken filling.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The<b> samosas</b> are usually fried but these days baked samosas are also quite popular with the diet conscious world. I am quite naughty when it comes to dieting so no diet stuff for me and hence I stick with the real stuff i.e fried samosa.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I have tried all sorts of fillings for my <b>samosa recipe</b>, vegetarian and non vegetarian but recently my all time favourite is the <b>mushroom samosa</b>. I love mushrooms they have a mild earthy taste which easily blends with other <b>ingredients</b>. In this mushroom <b>samosa recipe</b> I have used sauteed champignon mushrooms with boiled potatoes all spiked up with basic curry spices like red chilli powder, coriandr, cumin and garam masala.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The key to <b>crispy samosas</b> lies in the pastry dough, which should not be too soft or too firm. The dough should be nice and pliable. One thing I love about<b> homemade samosas</b> is that you can turn any left over vegetable dry curry <b>to make the samosas</b>. Even minced meat cooked in Pakistani style mince makes a nice<b> filling for the samosas.</b></i><br />

<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Caprese Pasta Salad </b>is a light and easy and refreshing Italian pasta dish made with fresh spring/summer ingredients like basil and cherry tomatoes. This cold pasta salad is perfect as a side dish or on it's own when you want something light for dinner or lunch on any hot summer day.<br />
<br />
The basic wallop of flavour comes from the vinaigrette which consists of balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, olive oil and some basic seasoning. I prefer using mini mozzarella balls because of ease of use, meaning no use of knife or chopping board and hence no cleaning afterwards. Feel free to use any type of mozzarella cheese available to you.<br />
<br />
The mozzarella not only adds complexity but also balances out the flavour of balsamic vinegar and tomatoes. I have used halved cherry tomatoes for this <b>Caprese Pasta Salad recipe</b> but you can use any type of fresh salad tomatoes. Also make sure to use freshly cracked black pepper for seasoning. Pre ground pepper is less peppery because of the loss of volatile compounds. So use freshly ground black pepper whenever possible.<br />

<br />
Yippee!! I eventually tried out the recipe! <b>Basanti Sonnat</b>i, Yes, this <b>Persian ice cream</b> is an electic mix of taste and flavour. Two ingredients reflect the basic flavour of this ice cream: saffron and rose water. <b>Saffron</b> lends complexity, while <b>rose water</b> imparts a floral taste to this Iranian ice cream recipe.<br />
<br />
So you can say that <b>Basanti Sonnati</b> is a combination of complex floral flavours. The <b>recipe</b> in addition to salep (a starch like substance made from the tubers of wild orchids) calls for basic ice cream ingredients i.e. milk, cream etc. The ingredient salep is what gives the persian safron and rose water ice cream it's chracteristic texture. I searched online and in store to find salep but to no avail. However after minutes, hours and finally days of contemplative musings I finally came up with an ingredient that could replace salep to a certain extent. I found out that using corn flour in the ice cream recipe gave me a texture more or less similsr to Bastani Sonnati.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img alt="no-churn-persian-ice-cream-Iran-food-dessert-saffron-rose-water--condam-cold-dessertensed-milk-double-cre" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinz1HZrY-zXGkxsgxOd9EBKETvZrI1cbuKF956-wB-Z1dISCV5GEvPrFw6OByukHPYfCO7Gm-AArv8TDA_B46roUUDs89kwlG_uuyawY-0xdqF_KoZxWrz-xwcRBamR9hedwb0ZzL2zQU/s640/persian+ice+cream+edit+2+name.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The process of making the <b>Persian Ice cream</b> is intiated with a custard base. Salep is used to thicken the custard but as already mentioned I have used corn flour instead. After flavouring the custard with saffron and rose water frozen double cream is added to the cooled custard. The mixture is then blended along with condenesed milk and frozen. This is my version of <b>Persian Ice cream or Bastani Sonnati</b>. In order to prevent the ice cream mixture from forming crystals you have to take it out from the freezer and whisk with the help of a fork. Keep whisking after every hour or so untill you have a smooth crystal free ice cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
Now that you have had a complete dose of <b>Persian Ice cream </b>intro and basic method for its preparation, follow the instructions given below to learn how to make <b>Persian Ice cream </b>from start to finish.<br />

Don't let the milk boil. Now take out about 2-3 tbsps of milk from the 1 1/2 cup and dissolve the corn flour. Add it to the saffron milk mixture. Stir continously while cooking on low heat. Cook the milk until it is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon.<br />

It's been ages since I cooked my last Chinese recipe, in fact my last Chinese dish was a delicious one pot meal named <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/prawn-stir-fried-rice.html" target="_blank">Prawn Stir Fried Rice</a>. So since my latest Chinese cooking venture was a hit, I planned on making another Chinese recipe that would fire up my family's taste buds.<br />
<br />
Yes! <b>Firecracker chicken</b> meets all the parameters of such a great tasting recipe that is not only fiery but also sweet at the same time. <b>Firecracker chicken </b>is not only rich in umami taste but is pretty straightforward and easy to make.<br />
<br />
While searching for <b>Firecracker chicken recipe</b>. I found out that all the recipes called for a lot of sugar ranging form 3/4 cups to 1/4 cup. Personally, I am against the idea of consuming sugar for my main meal. I mean why did we ever create such a wide variety of desserts if they were meant to be incorporated into our savoury recipes. It's like adding chilli powder into cake! That's my personal opinion and you don't have to agree with me. A dessert is a desert so let it be where it should be!<br />
<br />
So for the simple reason stated above I am not adding any sugar and I mean precisely no sugar in this recipe. I hope my Chinese buddies will forgive me for making this change. Any one can add sugar to this recipe if they like to, but you won't find it in the ingredient list.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Instead of sugar I have used ketchup because it already contains some sugar so you will still get the to die for sweet and savoury taste characteristic of the <b>Firecracker chicken</b>. The ketchup adds some thickness as well as sweetness and taste to the<b> Firecracker chicken recipe</b>. For the zing I have used some buffalo sauce. People who don't like a lot of spice in this dish can adjust the amount of chillies according to their personal liking.<br />
<br />
I am sure you will like my recipe for <b>Firecracker Chicken</b> so gather the ingredients and follow the steps given below to prepare this Chinese dish.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<i><b>Tandoori chicken </b>is a chicken usually roasted in a tandoor. A tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven used for cooking and baking. This recipe is dry, unlike a chicken curry. Chicken cooked in a clay oven is soft and succulent.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I have prepared my T<b>andoori Chicken Without The Tandoor</b> in a normal oven but even though cooked in an oven my baked chicken can compete with any <b>tandoor</b> made chicken. The reason for this claim being the use of whole strained yogurt and oil for the marinade.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>I have found out with trial and error that if I use skimmed yogurt in the marinade it gives out a lot of water and the chicken is not as juicy as it is if I use skimmed yogurt. This <b>Resaurant Style Tandoori </b></i><i><b>Chicken Without The Tandoor</b></i><i> recipe calls for marinating the chicken twice. The washed and dried chicken pieces are marinated with a mixture of salt, lemon juice and red chilli powder. The chicken is then left to marinate for about 30 minutes to 1 hour in the fridge allowing the chicken to imbibe the seasoning and lemon juice.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Once the first marination time is over the second marination is applied which consists of red chilli powder garam masala powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, strained yogurt and of course garlic/ginger paste. You may add a pinch of red food colour If you want your <b>Tandoori Chicken</b> to look like the R<b>estaurant Style Tandoori Chicken </b>recipe. The time of second marination is important. The longer the marination time the better will be the results. It is however, best to leave the marinated chicken in the fridge overnight. This gives the chance for all the spice flavours to penetrate deep into the chicken meat. This chicken is best served with naan and mint dip.</i><br />

<span id="goog_460955925"></span><span id="goog_460955926"></span>Chia Fresca or iskiate is a healthy Mexican drink made with chia seeds, lemon juice and water. For those who are unfamiliar with chia seeds, they are tiny black and white seeds that were valued for their energy boosting properties by the ancient Aztecs and Mayans.<br />
<br />
<br />
Chia seeds have become the super food of today due to their health promoting properties. These are high in fibre which helps with digestion. In addition to fibre they are rich in omega 3 fatty acids,Vitamins A, B, E and D along with important minerals like sulphur iron, magnesium, manganese and niacin.<br />
<br />
<br />
I usually make Chia Fresca for my son as a pre workout drink. The protein in the chia seeds is an energy enhancer, no wonder these seeds were used by the world's greatest distant runners. I add my personal twist to this drink by using coconut water. The coconut water apart from transmuting it to Coconut Chia Fresca doubles the hydrating properties in addition to providing essential electrolytes to the body which are lost during sweat and exercise.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also add a splash of lemon for extra freshness and Vitamin C. The zing from the lemon juice goes very well with the sweetness of the coconut water. The coconut water contains considerable amount of sweetness but you can still add some honey or sweetener if you like.<br />
<br />
<br />
Coconut Chia Fresca can be used as an energy drink before a workout, a sport or at any time of the day to perk you up. Try it and I am sure you will like it.<br />

<i>Palak Paneer or saag paneeer is a very tasty and healthy vegetarian side dish made with spinach and paneer/cottage cheese. The addition of paneer cubes to spinach takes it to another level of not only taste but also nutrition. This dish is high in both protein and iron, making it a healthy addition to any vegetarian menu.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<i> The paneer cubes are smothered in a silky smooth palak (spinach) gravy which is made by blanching and then blending the spinach until it is smooth and velvety. Some people like the crisp texture of paneer and they fry the cubes before adding it to the gravy. I haven't fried the paneer in this recipe so basically it's up to you whether you like it fried or otherwise. Although mildly spiced, this spinach and paneer side dish still packs a punch full of flavour. Adding cream is also an option which I tend to exclude in my savoury dishes because I like to save the calories for the dessert.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<i> Apart from basic spices like cumin and coriander the addition of fresh green chillies adds a spark and depth of flavour to the otherwise bland tasting spinach. The paneer cubes lend not only texture but also flavour to this palak paneer recipe making it a family favourite in my home. In fact palak paneer and <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/low-fat-paneer-lababdar.html" target="_blank">Paneer Lababdar</a> are the recipes that are a part of the weekly vegetarian menu on my dinner table.</i><br />

<i>Blanching the spinach ensures it retains it's colour and nutritional value. Here's how to blanch spinach: Boil water to a rolling boil, throw in the washed spinach and blanch for 1 minute. Put the blanched spinach in iced water. Once the spinach is cooled remove from the ice water. Squeeze out as much water as you can from the spinach and pat dry. Set aside to use later.</i><br />

<i>I think Spring and Summer are the times of the year when one should enjoy the weather instead of slaving in the kitchen for hours. I make it a point to cook easy and quick recipes for the whole of the the nicer weather. Chicken Gyros is one such recipe that ticks all my boxes during the warm months of the year. Gyros is a meat dish cooked in a vertical rotisserie stuffed inside a pita and served as a street food along with a salad consisting of tomatoes, onions and cucumbers with french fries on the side.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>When making Chicken Gyros at home you have the option of omitting the french fries making it healthier. Serving it with whole-grain pita provides you with additional fiber. The taztziki is made with low fat Greek yogurt again a healthier option.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>To make Chicken Gyros you need to marinate the boneless chicken with Greek yogurt along with garlic, lemon juice, oregano olive oil and spices either half an hour or for 3-4 hours. This allows the divine flavours of the Greek herbs and spices to permeate into the chicken. The marinated chicken is then grilled, baked or pan cooked to create a juicy and succulent filling for the pita bread. Gyro is served with a salad of tomatoes, onions and lettuce. Top with homemade tzatziki and french fries on the side to complete the opera and you have the best lunch or dinner ready in no more than 30 minutes </i></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>Gyros is quick-easy to make and ultra delicious too plus it's easily transportable and hence a great picnic option. Perfect for Potluck, light family dinner or lunch, work lunch and I am sure that the kids will love it in their lunch box too. You can serve the Chicken Gyros either with pita bread or flat bread. I usually serve mine with homemade whole-grain flat bread due to easy accessibility and nutritional value. </i></div>

<i>It all started on a nice winter day when</i><i> I had a chance to dig into the ethnic food scene of London. After exploring an array of stalls displaying mouth watering food. We stopped to order from a Pakistani food stall. The food was fine but my main point of interest was the dessert. While scrolling down the menu list my eyes stopped at a particularly interesting flavour of burfi/barfi.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It was mango burfi! How ignorant of me I had never heard or tasted mango barfi before. I was super excited because mango is my favourite fruit and I never seem to have enough of it. So the mango burfi was served to us and upon taking the first bite I was smitten by an overpowering taste of ghee and too much sugar. It was at that first bite that I thought I would make my very own homemade barfi.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>On the way back home my mind was racing with different recipe ideas for burfi. Same evening I made my first batch. I made it with condensed milk and left it to set thinking that I will cut it into squares the following morning. Night passed while I was tossing and turning my head thinking how the burfi would come out, would the recipe be a success or a failure.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Finally sleep overcame me and I closed my eyes. In the morning I woke up very excited thinking about the power packed day that lay ahead of me. I rushed straight into the kitchen after dealing with my morning rituals. I uncovered the burfi and was shocked to discover some crumbs here and there instead of the barfi itself.</i><br />
<br />
<i>As you might have guessed, some one had sneaked into the kitchen at night finishing off the entire batch leaving only a few crumbs. I had no option but to taste the crumbs because I have to taste the recipe before posting. I personally didn't like the texture very much so made another batch on the same day. This one was saved from the burfi thief by making additional precautions! Another long story!!!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The texture was nice and it seemed lighter on the palate as compared to the stodgy mango burfi that I had tasted in Manchester. It also tasted much better than the batch I had previously prepared. The mango imparts a nice flavour and fruity fragrance to the otherwise hum drum barfi that I had always eaten.</i><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><i>The ubiquitous Guacamole is a Mexican dip that makes a healthy appetizer or party nibble to go along with grilled vegetables, tortilla chips and even perfect for scooping over <a href="http://homemaker-diary.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/no-fry-low-carb-zuchini-chips.html" target="_blank">Zucchini Chips</a>. I go somewhat off piste when making guacamole because I think it shouldn't be paste like as a pesto. I like to feel the textures of all the ingredients that go into making guacamole and so I stick to the chunkier version. </i></span></span></span><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">Deviating from the typical ho hum guacamole recipe I am making mine like a salad with bell peppers. Bell peppers are not only rich in vitamin c and beta carotene but also add a mildly sweet taste along with a crunch to the guacamole. I think the sweetness and crunch from the bell peppers complements the creaminess of the avocados. Guacamole is slightly zingy and for that I am using some lemon juice.</span></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">I have used red onions rich in vitamin B6 for this recipe but you can use golden onions that are sweeter in taste. I like to use a little black pepper for the kick but you can add red pepper flakes if you like more heat. For making the Chunky Guacamole Salad use avocados that are ripe but not too soft to touch. I often buy under ripe avocados which can be ripened by wrapping them in a paper bag along with a granny smith apple or a banana. The bag is used to trap the ethylene gas which ripens the avocado.</span></span></span></span></i><br />
<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span></span></i>
<i><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 18px;">This Chunky Bell Pepper Guacamole Salad is super healthy full of vitamins from the vegetables along with healthy fats from the avocados. This zingy, chunky and at the same time creamy salad is perfect for a summer backyard cookout or as an ideal starter for a dinner party.</span></span></span></span></i><br />
