Home Made Virgin Mojito #SuperEasy

Hey guys!
During this long weekend, I've indulged myself into cooking, experiments and more. Hence devised a simple and quick recipe for Virgin Mojito..tastes same like everywhere else.

Ingredients you need:

  • Sprite [alternatively, you can use soda water and sugar mix]
  • Pudina leaves , finely chopped
  • Lemon 
  • Black Salt
  • White Salt
  • Wine Glasses - Totally Optional
Add all ingredients in the empty glass

Home Made Virgin Mojito

Recipe
  • Start by taking an empty wine glass. Add brushed pudina leaves [Approx 1 tea spoon]
  • Add 3 pinches of black salt and 1 pinch of white salt
  • Add 7-10 drops of lemon
  • Then carefully pour sprite over it. Be careful as black salt will increase the fizz hence chances of spill over
  • Finish by adding a lemon wedge and ice cubes
  • Best when serve chilled!
Have a happy Sunday!

Khandvi: A Perfect Sunday Breakfast [Microwave Special]


Hey Guys!

I have been off my blog for a veryyyyyy long time! Not because I stopped cooking but because i was spending more time on my Fashion and beauty Blog - Tangerine Tantrums plus things are moving at a super rapid pace in office. Nonetheless, i am back with an extremely quick and easy receipe for Sunday Breakfast. It is quite light so avoid it as a brunch..

  2. Gram Flour (Besan) - 1 Cup
  3. Curd - 1 Cup
  4. Asafoetida - 1 Pinch
  5. Salt to taste
  6. Turmeric - 1/4 teaspoon
For Garnishing
  1. Desi Ghee - 2 tablespoon
  2. Curry leaves
  3. White Til
  4. Green Chillies - 2
  5. Grated Dry Coconut

It is extremely tedious to make it on gas stove so i searched for an easier Microwave recipe. here we go
  1. In a mixer, blend together 1 cup besan, curd and 2 cups water
  2. Add salt, turmeric, asafoetida
  3. Put it in a microwave safe dish and cook on full heat for 2 minutes
  4. Take it out, mix really well to make a smooth paste 
  5. Put in Microwave for 2 minutes
  6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 once more
  7. Finally, take the bowl out, repeat step 4 and microve for 1 more minute - making it a total of 7 minutes
  8. Take back of a tray or plate - preferably steel - and with a spatula spread it all over. Ensure the layer is smooth and thin

Spread the dough in a smooth and thin layer
9. now let it dry for 15 minutes
10. once it Dries - you can check by pulling the corner of the dough on the tray with a knife. If it comes off easily then the layering is ready

Please note - there is no requirement of greasing the back of the tray/plate.

Now take a knife and make chess board pattern..6 inches long and 1 inch wide columns will be made. Now start rolling..

Rolled Khandvis
