Baby corn has host of benefits, like it is low in calories, and has less carb when compared with normal corn.

Handi Gosht – Lamb Stew Recipe
“Handi Ghost” (हांड़ी गोश्त) is Lamb stew or mutton stew, cooked in Handi. Handi is a deep and narrow-mouthed cooking utensil used in Indian subcontinent, normally this is an earthen pot, but can be made of metal. In an ideal set up “gosht” should be cooked in the earthen pot, that offers an absolutely unique flavour, however I have cooked it a metal “handi”, the unique shape of “handi” offers the perfect mechanism on how the heat gets distributed on to the contents while cooking. You may try this in any normal pan, but if you have handi or can get it, try in that. This is awesome non-vegetarian recipe that I have learnt from the authentic traditional cooks living in village, where cooking in “handi” is norm of life. This way you now know “how to make handi gosht” 🙂

Gemista Recipe – Just few weeks ago, fortunately (thanks to my loving Husband), I got a chance to explore the most beautiful Greek island Santorini. Famous for its infrastructure, I found that island amazingly beautiful and offered some best option in terms of food.
Normally in Europe, being vegetarian I get less options of having some great vegetarian food. However, this greek island offered me some great dishes. Some of the most common dishes which one can find in every Greek restaurant are Greek salad with feta cheese, Fava and Gemista.
I tried all the three (feta cheese, fava and gemista) and liked Gemista very much. I had gemista in two different restaurants and both were superb!
