5 minute Chocolate MousseBy Meg's Kitchen5 minute mousse. Yes that’s what this recipe is!! Now in technical terms this is a whipped ganache that has not been whipped completely but only to soft peaks. A mousse is an egg based dessert and the eggless version is made with whipping cream and melted chocolate.
Gujarati PatraBy Meg's KitchenI was first introduced to this dish when I moved to Mumbai. It was a very new recipe for me, but I loved it, and hence became a part of my home cooking recipes. Interestingly it is made with arbi ke patte/ Colocasia leaves. Though we have here a Gujarati version, there are many other regional versions and name for this amazing healthy snack. It is called alu wadi in Maharashtra. When in season it’s a must try dish.
Dahi KebabBy Meg's KitchenDahi Kebab is considered a delicacy and all for the right reasons. It’s rich, creamy, melt in the mouth texture is unmatched by any other Indian vegetarian appetizer. There are also several recipes and techniques people follow to make these kebabs. I shall be sharing my version which is creamy and cheesy. If you have never given it a try, start with this recipe, its amazing and delicious.
Mango Panna Cotta with Coconut CrumbleBy Meg's KitchenPanna Cotta is a creamy, melt in your mouth Italian dessert which is beautiful and jiggly and has a very smooth mouth feel. Panna Cotta literally translates to ‘cooked cream’. The cream /+ milk mixture is cooked till slightly warm and then set using gelatine. The beauty of this dessert is it’s ease of making and versatility. There are soooo many gorgeous flvaour combinations once can make. That’s why, instead of making a simple panna cotta, I decided to share a Mango Panna Cotta made with coconut milk and served with a crunchy coconut crumble.
Pizza, Pasta, Lasagne SauceBy Meg's KitchenSharing with you today one of my most favourite sauces. I use it for almost any Italian recipe which requires a tomato-based sauce, marinara, pomodoro or arrabbiata. It’s been a favourite from our Dips, Sauces & Spreads workshop, and once you try it, it’ll be your home favourite too!! You will never ever again buy pizza sauce form the market, after tasting how delicious this is, I give you my word for it!
Instant Raw Mango PickleBy Meg's KitchenSome recipes have a special place in your heart! This is one such recipe, simply since it reminds me of my childhood. Raw mango pickle was an absolute necessary condiment along with ALL meals in the mango season. My mom used to get home tons of raw mango (read 50 kg plus) and prepare jars of various mango pickles to consume through the year as well gift to near and dear ones. Raw mango pickle, a favourite of mine, was taken for granted by me, now is a delicacy which I have to wait for to receive from Delhi (I am based in Mumbai and my parents live in Delhi).I was fortunate enough to have my mom pay us a visit for a couple of days last May and I decided to learn her secret recipe of the quickest, yummiest and easiest mango pickle you’ll ever taste. And so I did!! Ever since have been making a jar for home every week and it vanishes in no time (most of it into my tummy!). The wonderful part of this recipe is that it’s fresh, quick, easy with no preservatives and can be had almost immediately – Yes, no waiting unlike most pickles!Hey did I mention it has 2 versions – 1 sweet for sweet mango pickle lovers and another spicy and tangy for those like me who almost worship chillies!! Few readily available ingredients and literally 5 minutes cook time and it’s ready.If these aren’t reasons enough for you to be tempted to try out the recipe, here are some health benefits of eating raw mango:
  1. Rich source of vitamin A and C.
  2. Keeps the body cool in summer, prevents heat strokes.
  3. Aids in digestion hence the drinks like aam panna in summer.
  4. Maintains the electrolyte balance in the body, considered good for blood pressure and
    heart.
  5. Boosts your immune system and helps you fight against common flu and other diseases.
  6. Has astringent properties and antioxidants, both do wonders for your skin.
Red Chilli Garlic PasteBy Meg's KitchenYou must have come across 100’s of recipes where you require to use red chilli paste/sauce. Now of course there are versions available on the shelves of almost all grocery stores. However, very rarely would you find one that packs the punch and flavor you are looking for. So here I am sharing with you a recipe which will solve your miseries and give you the best and most versatile red chili paste which can be used in almost any recipe.For those who have attended our ‘Stir fry cooking workshop’ are already a fan of this recipe. Yes, I do use it during the workshop in a few recipes. And as promised to all my followers, I am finally sharing it today.

So cool, isn’t?
Chunky Crunchy GranolaBy Meg's KitchenThe markets are flooded with varieties of granola, muesli, and energy bars. Most of us are so confused of what the ingredients are, which is a better product, and a healthier one for our families!! All of these are definitely healthier alternatives than binge eating fried namkeens and snacks but that doesn’t make it 100% natural. There is one thing I strongly believe in – anything that is on store shelves for a long period and sold to consumers with a long shelf life, will always have preservatives and additives to extend the shelf life. It cannot be 100% natural. Even though all products have the required licensing and use only food grade, industry approved preservatives and additives it cannot be better than freshly bake homemade granola, using pure ingredients, can it?? So here I present to you an extremely flexible, versatile base recipe to make the yummiest crispy, crunchy granola that you will ever have! Use the ingredients you have available, use the ingredients you enjoy and create customised jar of granola for your family in flat 20 minutes! Try this recipe out and I promise you won’t buy another box of granola from the market again.
Dal BattiBy Meg's KitchenDal Batti is a traditional Rajasthani dish which is an absolute delight to have. It’s indulgent, yum and extremely comforting to have on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Accompanied with a glass of chaas it’s perfect before a rejuvenating siesta. Each household has their own version of it. Some people make it with 3 different mixed dal and serve along with gatte ki sabzi or aloo sabzi or garlic chutney. How we eat at our home is with sliced onions, green chutney, tinda in tomato gravy, ghee, whole green chilly and some lemon! Its an easier meal to make than simple pulav with lots of vegetables to chop or dal, roti, sabzi and rice meal. Its quick, easy, a fabulous change and so so yummm. If you haven’t made it at home yet, you gotta do it today! I completely simplified it.
Whole Wheat Lavash with ‘Roti Atta Dough’ & a Hung Curd Dip RecipeBy Meg's KitchenThe idea to do this recipe came me to literally while making chapatis!! I was contemplating what recipe to do next for my session, when this idea clicked!! And I am glad I decided to go ahead! Its so cool when you can create 10 minute recipes which are so satisfying and delicious at the same time! So we made these lavash ONLY & ONLY with roti dough, left over from lunch. Now how could I not share something healthy and quick to go along with it?? So here I present the easiest lavash and dip recipe you’ll ever make. And goes without saying, you’ll never go back to buying lavash from the market again.
No-Knead White Sandwich LoafBy Meg's KitchenI have specially designed and formulated this recipe for my followers. It is such a simple, basic recipe that even your kids can make bread at home now! How cool is that?? Please note this isn’t a traditional bread with the bread making or baking techniques, so it isn’t going to be complicated or hard to follow. I suggest, just sit back, relax and without thinking too much follow instructions as shared. If you do that, I promise to make this a very rewarding and of course enjoyable process!! There is so so much to share about bread making that we fall short of time even in our 6 hr+ sessions of the bread workshops. Nevertheless, it all starts from the basics. If your basics are strong, you only need to know one good all purpose flour recipe to practice with and then all recipes, ratios, formulas and variations of breads are slowly going to start making sense to you!
