Schezwan Chicken Wrap

Schezwan Chicken Wrap

Wraps and rolls are my personal favorite. It is something which is convenient to have and a complete meal in itself and one can have on the go. The another thing which I like most about wraps is that there is no fixed rules or recipe to make a wrap. It is totally upon your liking, taste, and availability of the ingredients. Prepare a fulfilling stuffing and wrap it up ! I keep experimenting with the stuffing part and want to share one such successful attempt. I have shared the recipe of another version of chicken wrap earlier on the blog. I had some schezwan sauce available with me, so thought of using it this time in my wrap and since I added beetroot, it turned out to be really colorful and delicious. Do give it a try

Moong Dal Chaat

Moong Dal Chaat

Snack time usually becomes the junk eating time. I personally crave for some chaat, samosa, fried food along with my evening tea. Having said that it’s definitely not a good idea to eat all these due to the obvious health reasons. I recently experimented with Moong Dal to prepare a chaat version of it which turned out to be really good and tasty. The green or sprouted Moong Dal provides the required protein nutrient and at the same time, it’s delicious too. Give it a try to this Moong Dal chaat and let me know how was it.

Chicken Momos Recipe/ Chicken Dumplings or Wontons

Who doesn’t love piping hot Momos or Dumplings or Wontons served with fiery schezwan sauce or spicy tomato garlic chutney? Momos is one of my favorite street food and I crave for it often. You can find many street food vendors in Delhi or Mumbai also selling these steaming hot beauties. Every new place has a unique taste and there are so many variations now available like tandoori momos, fried momos, etc. I prefer the steamed version as it is more healthy compared to the fried ones. My recipe is inspired by the chicken momos recipe by Sanjeev Kapoor but I have modified it a bit by adding whole wheat flour to avoid the all purpose flour. So, follow this chicken momos recipe step by step and make your family and loved ones happy with these Nepali delicacies.

Chinese-Style Vermicelli – A twist to regular Vermicelli Upma

Desi- Chinese the Indianized version of Chinese cuisines is popular throughout India. This great fusion is accepted and relished by everyone. I am also fond of Chinese cuisines and prepare them quite often in my kitchen. “Namkeen Sewaiyan” or “Vermicelli Upma or Pulav” is a popular evening snack or breakfast. I thought why stick to only noodles so I gave the vermicelli recipe a twist from the regular onion-tomato version and created the Chinese version of vermicelli. Check out the recipe:
