Lunching Out With D

I know I have been MIA for a loooonnnngggg time now. Been super busy with a ton of things. D's birthday is coming up soon, so loads of preparations on that front too :)

Recently we went out for a family lunch to Pop Tate's. I love the cool,chilled out ambience of the place. We feasted on tacos, chicken lollipops (the best I have had in my life so far), fish and chips and kiwi and litchi juices to wash it all down *burrrp*. Needless to say D was on top of the world, what with all the chicken and fish to pig out on :)

Recipe - Spicy Maggi Noodles

Maggi Noodles would have definitely been an indelible part of your childhood, if you have grown up in India.

Though I have gobbled up tons of the stuff in my childhood (well, I still do :) ) but honestly I am not a big fan of it. In fact, I just hate the smell of the tastemaker.

Recipe - Paneer Makhanwala

D is a huge fan of Paneer. That is one vegetarian food item that he is eager to to eat as soon as it is pulled out of the fridge! Such love and reverence is otherwise only reserved for non-vegetarian food. Of course, he eats all other vegetables and loves dal too, but the sight of these don't get him all excited...know what I mean?

The budding cook in me, keeps trying out quick and easy ways to prepare paneer dishes (don't get much time with an over-active toddler around, you see ;) ). After various experiments, this is what I finally settled down for (with a thumbs up from the entire D household :) )
So, this recipe is my version of Paneer Makhanwala.

My sis C is a complete foodie and loves trying out new dishes and cuisines (both eating and cooking :) ). Pasta is one of her all time favourite dishes and this particular recipe is always a hit in the D household.....Enjoy!!!
