Chicken Cutlet Recipe | Chicken Recipes

Happy Independence Day, dear readers!! This is the first recipe I tried in my husband's home after marriage. I got the recipe from one of my colleagues and without knowing anything in the kitchen, I was hunting for ingredients. The cutlets turned out very well and everyone at home was really impressed. My first cooking adventure was a success and I felt proud sharing the recipe with my mom-in law, who is already a good cook by herself. This recipe is spreading in our family circle and I am really happy about this. If interested in mutton cutlet, check that as well. And, here we go for the recipe:

Egg Dipped Cauliflower Fry Recipe | Cauliflower Fry with Egg | Cauliflower Egg Omelet

Cauliflower is one of the vegetables most of us love to have. When I get cauliflower, I usually make Manchurian or cauliflower dosa. Once Jany told me, he likes cauliflower when his mom makes it. So I asked my mom-in law about the recipe and tried it. It was too good and I thought of sharing it with you all. It is so simple and easy to make with only 2 main ingredients in hand. Jany is crazy about this egg dipped fried cauliflower and I started making it once in a while.

Aloo Paratha Recipe | Paratha with Potato Stuffing | Stuffed Paratha

After my graduation, I was in Ahmedabad for my company's training(TCS ILP) and that was the time I tasted Aloo Parathas. Being in North India for the first time, I enjoyed these Parathas which was different from our regular chapathi. Most of the days I had Aloo Parathas both for lunch and dinner. After coming home, I asked my mom to prepare that, but she doesn't know it. I learnt to make these kinds of stuffed parathas after I started the day-to-day cooking. I am making it quite often now since Happy loves it. Do check out my broccoli paratha and gobi paratha recipes as well.

Beetroot Thoran/ Beetroot Poriyal Recipe/ Beetroot Stir fry

This is one of the very simple and easy to cook vegetables. Initially, I hate almost all the stir fry/Poriyal I make with cabbage, beetroot, carrot, beans ,etc. Later I found out that I overcook all the veggies adding more water. Now I have corrected myself and the Poriyal's I make comes out excellent. In my opinion, veggies should not be overcooked and it should be crunchy. It should be cooked by sprinkling less water and within a few minutes, it should be removed from the flame. Grating beetroot helps me cook fast and here we go for the recipe of the fastest Poriyal :)

Dal Palak Recipe(Spinach Dal)|Keerai Kuzhambu(with Moong Dal)|Siruparuppu Keerai Masiyal

When I was in my second trimester, daily as a part of my lunch I have greens. After having it daily, I was bored with the spinach Poriyal and totally hated the smell of spinach. So I started having this Dal Palak and I like having spinach with dal. Now, at least twice in a week, I try to include the Greens in our meals. Apart from Dal Palak, prepare Spinach Poriyal and Spinach Chappathi as well. And, here we go for the recipe.
