Custard Apple Recipe - Milkshake Recipe - how-to-make-custard-apple-milkshake -YourFoodFantasy.com

Custard Apple Milkshake

My childhood memories take me to spices of India. When it comes to India and fruits of India, Custard Apple is invariably one fruit I can not keep my hands off. Deliciously sweet Custard Apple sometimes can be off putting owing to seeds it has, however Custard apples are rich in anti-oxidants like vitamin C. Custard Apple is also rich in calcium, magnesium, iron, niacin and potassium. ‘Custard apple’, ‘Sharifa‘ or ‘Sitaphal‘, ‘Sita Pazham’, ‘Seetha Palam’, ‘Seetha Pazham’, ‘Sitaphala‘ are a few names it is known.

Custard apples are native to West Indies, South America and some parts of Asia (India). Custard apple with its high calories and natural sugars are great as a dessert and as a nutritious snack.  Hence I thought why not make Milkshake of this, a perfect drink on a hot day.  Read through this detailed step by step recipe to make milkshake of Custard Apple.

Prepration time: 10 minutes

Maggi Noodles Recipe Indian Style - Your Food Fantasy by Meenu Gupta

Maggi Noodle Recipe

We all love Maggi! Don’t know if there are exceptions…”Din ho ya raat , bhukhe ho ya full, we can eat it anytime anywhere…. at least I can”. Surely all who have grown in Indian sub-continent will have nostalgia with Maggi and a “Maggi Story” to share. This recipe only takes 10 minutes as you can do preparation and cooking simultaneously. This maggi is big hit with my daughter, she is fussy food eater as most of kids are, but when comes to maggi, she would generally be ready.

Rather than making it normal (read as putting the noodles in boiling water with maggi masala), I prefer to add vegetables, to make it healthier. Maggi is perfect food in student life and saving grace when there is nothing available to eat in late night for students in hostels. Continue reading for the detailed “step by step recipe of vegetable maggi noodles”. This is an absolute filler and you can have as nice morning breakfast, evening snacks or as a meal.

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Eggs Kejriwal Recipe | Your Food Fantasy by Meenu Gupta

Eggs Kejriwal Recipe

When you hear Kejriwal, rightly or wrongly, you get an image of Arvind Kejriwal. Surely am miles away from any politics, but have built a soft corner for Kejriwal….ummm…Eggs Kejriwal to be precise 🙂  During my visit to “Soda bottle opener wala” restaurant in India I saw “Eggs Kejriwal” in menu, I felt, I must try out to see what that is, and was pleasantly surprised to see its Cheese, Egg and Chilli Sandwich. Subsequently when back in London, I recently visited “Dishoom” restaurant in London, and I saw Eggs Kejriwal and tried that again. Basic recipe at both “Soda bottle Openerwala” as well as “Dishoom”, was similar with minor variation. This led me  to try out the “Eggs Kejriwal Recipe” myself .

Preparation time: 7-8 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

How many times it has happened with you that either you do not have nicely shaped / cubes of paneer or you do not elaborate set up (or time) of making ravishing paneer dish?

Paneer bhurji (पनीर भुर्जी) is a delightful and spicy paneer dish which is quick and easy to make with ingredients that you will normally have in your kitchen. Paneer bhurji is made from crumbled paneer simmered in spicy tomato gravy. It tastes great with roti, paratha or even you can have it with a regular toast bread. It also makes a good stuffing for dosa and vegetable frankie / kathi rolls. Normally I make Paneer Bhurji  from my home made paneer, which is left after cutting portions for other paneer dishes.

You can find its few variants, some are dry paneer bhurji, some with gravy, some with or with out onion. The following step by step recipe is for dry version using onion, however by all means it can be made with out onion. It is one side dish that you will find easily on an indian dhaba.

Coriander Mint Green Chutney Recipe | Your Food Fantasy by Meenu Gupta

Mint Coriander Green Chutney Recipe

Mint and Coriander Green Chutney also referred as Hari Chutney or Dhaniya Podina Chutney, is a simple Indian Condiment that goes well with anything, be it grilled, fried or as a spread of dip.

It can be easily made with only four key ingredients, namely, Coriander leaves, Fresh Mint, Green Chillies and Lemon. This can be easily stored in refrigerator for good few days. There are many other variants of this same Chutney, but sharing the one that I have learnt from my mother. The idea of adding lemon is to preserve this chutney for longer and giving a tangy taste.

Try it with Samosa, Stuffed Bread Roll, Paneer Puffs, Lamb Chops, Paneer Tikka,  Paneer Cutlet, Methi Paratha, Chaat, etc.

Preparation time : 10 minutes

Cooking time : NA

Serving : One bottle of 250 ml
