Once more, I am forced to say..

'I'm sorry' and... 'you're welcome' in the same sentence. Who says 'you can't have your cake and eat it too?' Not this girl. If you haven't noticed yet... I am all  about sweets and treats. Eatings skinny and healthy doesn't mean things can't be fun or enjoyed! Any frequenter to Starbucks will most likely tell you that one of their fall favorites there is the infamous Pumpkin Scone, and naturally the Pumpkin Spice Latte. However, as you can see... with a whopping 450 calories in one scone... hah. No, thank you - I say. No. Thank. You.  Over the weeks I've...

Tandoori baby corn in oven, baked with Indian spices just like we do panner

Posted by admin on

Full video, step by step pictures recipe. I am making baby corn in baked version for first time. I always had a beautiful imagination to make it just like mini version of corn bhutta with tooth picks inserted. But wanted to take no risk or experiment when I am cooking it as side dish for Aj. I was not sure how it would turn until I took it out. But it was really good and easy to make it too I thought (if not I wasn’t complicating to take video and pictures). Just baked it in super simple steps like...
