ONION BREAD

Onion Bread Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

Inspired to bake this bread by  Yani  for our breakfast. Using sliced onion which is heated in a microwave oven for five minutes uncovered in order to reduce its water content. Totally sweet taste comes from the onion. Have slightly modified the recipe to suit my taste.

MUTTON DALCHA

Mutton Dalcha Recipe  @ http://treatntrick.blogspot.com


Mutton Dalcha is a  meat stew made with lentil and tamarind.. Used mutton ribs if possible since it is much tastier than using the meat. The lentil and mutton are boiled then added to the curry after the meat turns soft. In addition vegetables like brinjal, carrot, potato or green banana are used in cooking this dish.

I would say the dalcha is almost a complete meal by itself. Green mango could be included if available to enhance the flavor thus giving slight tangy taste.  Adjust the chili powder to suit your taste. You could also use chicken, lamb or beef for dalcha.

Mutton Dalcha tends to become thick when cool so dilute with hot water. Let's see what you need for preparing this healthy food.

MENU OF THE DAY


Photobucket Menu of the day @ treatntrick.blogspot.com



MENU OF THE DAY - Once a week have to prepare this menu consisting of naan, beef curry and kadai chana (garbanzo bean), a typical North Indian cuisine. Since need to cook regularly, I boiled the dry garbanzo bean until soft after soaking overnight and kept it frozen.

As and when needed just thaw for several hours in a refrigerator. A bit of work but get best taste free  from artificial colouring and preservative. This has became regular menu in our household.

For Naan recipe click here. For kadai chana please follow this link.

NUTTY COOKIES

Photobucket

I had a big bag of hazel nut sitting in my pantry. Since my sons have requested to bake a cookies so decided to use up my nut for this recipe.

These cookies are crunchy and nutty. For healthier option, I'm using corn oil and butter but you may use a cup of butter for a richer and buttery taste. Instead of hazel nut and almond you can substitute with walnut, peanut or sunflower seed. The choice is entirely up to you.
