Simple classic tomato and mushroom pasta

October 10, 2017 by Suki 5 Comments

Tomato_mushroom pasta-2

Tomato_mushroom pasta-2One of my favourite 30 minute dinner recipes – warm and comfort!

It has a good portion of veggies so it is surely healthy and add spinach if needed. I made this with a side of radish cucumber salad. I somehow forgot to edit the pictures and finally got some time this weekend to sit with my lightroom. I should say probably because my mom is here and she takes care of the kitchen mostly so I have loads of time. Actually she takes care of the kitchen and also me. Its been long since she hugged me and slept, felt better. Going to miss this again..

Now back to the pasta story, I don’t make pasta a lot. However when I make I try to include mushrooms to it as I like it a lot. Most probably I make pasta because I don’t want to cook for long. So I tend not to take much pictures or when I am bored of rice. It is one of the quick dinner recipes. I like to make my dinner with lot of recipes to fill my plate which I don’t mind if it takes time, but if I make a single dish it means I am too tired to cook, so it should be quick for me.

You can use any kind of pasta for this. 🙂

Cauliflower Paav bhaji

October 8, 2017 by Suki Leave a Comment

PavBhaji-4

PavBhaji-4Spicy warm curry with mashed cauliflower and vegetables – popular Mumbai street food which I made it with cauliflower instead of potatoes – served with fresh butter paav or dinner bread rolls.

Everyone have their own way of doing pav bhaji and their own choice of vegetables. Origin pav bhaji has potato as base however I just made it with just cauliflower as base and it was amazing too. It has a origin as Mumbai. I have heard Mumbai street has the best pav bhaji, but for me my mom makes the best pav bhaji. She had it once somewhere in a restaurant from Chennai, and every time she made it, the taste got elevated. Now it is her special recipe she makes for everyone. I cant wait to have it back again from her hands.

Heard that when the mill workers preferred to have a cheap lunch during the lunch break, so a vendor or a chef I should say created this innovative dish. Then it went to restaurants and other cities. I should say this is my favorite Indian chaat recipe.

Serve it hot with bread or dinner rolls.
