Be Fat, Be Happy.

I feel like I start every post exclaiming how much I hate something or the other - in this case, not a fan of halway either. Makes me wonder why I cook at all if I don't like these things. I haven't come up with an explanation yet, so here's the recipe instead. Ingredients: 3 Green Cardamom (crushed) ½ cup Ghee 3/4 cup Sooji (Semolina) 1 cup Sugar 1 cup Water 8 - 10 Almonds (blanched and peeled) 8 - 10 Kishmish (Raisins) Method: Fry the cardamom in the ghee. After a couple minutes, add the semolina. Stir and roast on low heat until it starts changing color or starts to get fragrant. Add the sugar little by little, mixing well. Cook for about 2-3 mins then add the water and cook for 5-8 mins more. If you like your halwa more pasty as opposed to slightly set, add some more water. I hate pasty halwa so I stuck with 1 cup. In case you do add more water, cover and cook for a couple minutes. Once it's done, take it out and decorate with the dry fruit.  Smo

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this.

If you're a fruit person (of course you are), try it! ( Original recipe I took from @spicespoon's Instagram , adjusted it a little bit here). Ingredients 1 cup Mango (diced) 2 cups Chickpeas (boiled and cooled) 2 tbsp Tomato (finely diced) ½ Onion (finely diced) 6 Mint Leaves (julienned) Mint Leaves (for garnish) Dressing 4 lemons Lemon Juice 1 tsp Brown Sugar ½ tsp Salt ½ tsp Red Chilli Powder ¼ tsp Red Chilli Flakes Method: Combine all ingredients under 'dressing&#

All of us at home love chicken wings but someone hates buffalo sauce (me), some hate barbecue (how is this even possible, I ask you) and some are unhappy with honey mustard type things. No, I didn't come combine all of these and make one magical sauce. But I did do a lot of things... some of which I'm forgetting - I'm so so sorry. Please don't hurt me. Anyway, here: Ingredients: I used about 1 kg Chicken Wings   2 cups                  Buttermilk*       Flour Spice Mix 1 cup Flour 3 tbsp Cornflour 1 tsp Salt 2 tsp Red Chilli Powder A pinch Oregano 1 tsp Garlic Powder 1 tsp Onion Powder ½ tsp  Paprika ½ tsp  White Pepper Sauce 3 tbsp Butter 3 cloves (minced) Garlic 1 tsp   Red Chilli Flakes ½ tsp  Salt 2 tsp   Brown Sugar ½ cup Mustard ½ cup  Chilli Garlic Sauce ¼ cup Chipotle** ¼ cup Habanero*** ¼ cup Vinegar 2 tbsp Soya Sauce ¼ cup BBQ Sauce ¼ cup Sriracha ½ cup  Warm Water Method: Wash chicken wings thoroughly and pat d
