Methi Aloo stir fry

Methi aloo is what i call a sober side dish in the Indian Thali. The outcome of incorporating the fresh Fenugreek leaves with potatoes is wonderful. This easy dish can be prepared in just minutes.
This is my mums favorite stir fry and this recipe has been shared to be my mummy.
Its perfect for those days when you wish to have something light and less spicy.
Do you know that after fast its good to break it with little green leafy vegetables. Back home vegetarians consume so many different types of Leafy vegetables. Most popular are spinach(Palak saag), methi saag, lal saag, bathua saag, pui saag, amarnath saag and the list continues. My state special saag(green leaf) are Konark saag, kalmi saag and chana saag. Yes in India we have n number of vegetables and grains which i miss so much at times.
Anyways coming back to the methi saag, which is favorite of so many people, here is my mums special saag recipe.

Banana Blossom and potato curry

Banana Blossom's curry are one of my favorites. My mother often prepared it fresh by plucking the fresh Blossom from the banana plant. Apart from the blossom the stem is also used in preparation of curry. Its little tedious cleaning the flowers from the blossom but its worthwhile as the curry has incredible taste.
Banana plant is the one whose every part is brought into use while cooking is done. Right from the stem, blossom. raw banana, raw banana's skin and the ripen banana. The leaves of banana tree finds a very important place as its leaves are used as plates. Yes dishes are served on the fresh cleaned banana leaves. I love this environment friendly idea of serving food. The food tastes even more tasty when its served on the leaves.

Foccacia Bread

Finally my Oven gets installed after so many hush hush. And i could not stop myself from baking. I thought why not to start with a bread. But before bread i tried some ginger garlic baked potatoes and to my surprise my kid loved it . He finished it in just minutes.
I have been buying Foccacia bread from supermarkets but could not find the one which would please my palate. So it was the topmost things to be baked. I found a recipe on the website of Sorted. The recipe was very easy and simple.
Few mistakes that i had done earlier while bread making is now that i no more repeat. One of it is adding garlic to the dough at the very beggining. Garlic is the enemy of yeast and it quickly kills all the yeast thereby you end up making some useless loaf. So beware once you are using garlic, check the timing when you are adding garlic to your bread next time.
So here's the recipe of Foccacia bread.
