Amritsari Chole

           

There is something about Punjabi cuisine which is so alluring that one can't resist. To be very frank I just love North-Indian cuisine. The main reason behind my love for Punjabi food is because I have spent 7 years of my life in Punjab. 



Nobody makes Chole the way Punjabis do. I have already shared the recipe of Chana Masala in my earlier days of blogging. You can check out the recipe here (click here). Today's post is all about Amritsari Chole. This recipe is a bit different from Chana Masala, the main difference is in the mix of spices used to cook this dish.



Amritsari Chole is often enjoyed as a delicious breakfast in many parts of Northern India. It makes a complete meal when served with curd or lassi. This easy vegetarian recipe is a perfect spicy blend of ingredients easily available in your kitchen. If you love spicy food, then this one is a must-try for you! 



This delectable Amritsari Chole is usually accompanied with Bhature (a fried bread made of flour) or Kulcha. Chole-Bhature is a breakfast invented in Delhi after partition and nowadays, it is a popular breakfast around Northern India and other parts of the country.



So, let's begin with the recipe:

Sweet Corn Soup

           

Hello my foodie friends hope you all are doing great. What is your favorite appetizer when you order food in a restaurant? For us it is always Soup. My family loves Soup whether it is
  • Tomato Soup
  • Hot n Sour Soup
  • Chicken Clear Soup
  • Manchow Soup 
                

Soups are our favorite appetizer despite of what food we are ordering. Soups can be both veg or non-veg but I like my Soups to be vegetarian and filled with lot of veggies. Among all the soups Sweet Corn Soup is my favorite. Basically, corn is my favorite, anything with corn and I fall for it.


Sweet Corn Soup is a kind of soup which is on the thicker side as compared to any other soup because of the addition of corn paste in it. It can be made from fresh corn or even with frozen one. This completely depends on the availability of sweet corn. If you have frozen corn in your freezer you can enjoy this Soup anytime of the year.


The flavors of this soup is very simple without the addition of any kind of sauces. All the magic is done by the flavor of Sweet Corn. I would highly recommend you to use fresh or frozen corn and not the canned one because this can make a huge difference in the texture of the soup.

So, let's begin with the recipe:

Hot n Sour Soup

             

Hello my Foodie Friends.......hope you all are doing great. How's the weather treating you these days? The winter season is almost here and it's time to pack all our light, airy, flowy, peachy summer dresses and start getting ready to wear thick woolen clothes. Although I love my jackets, sweaters, scarfs and boots but the love for summer clothes is incomparable.


What do you love about Winters? Being a food blogger I love winter fruits and vegetables. There is so much of variety in the veggie and fruit market in the winter season which you can't get in any other season. Moreover being a Bong, I love indulging myself in Fulkopir Singhara (Samosa filled with Cauliflower stuffing), Koraishuti r Kochuri and Aloor Dum (Puri stuffed with Peas stuffing and Dum Aloo), Nolen Gurer Mishti (Date Palm Jaggery Sweets), Vegetable Chop (Vegetable Fritters) in this season. 



I have already shared few of my favorite winter dishes like:
Winters can also be enjoyed with Soups. A hot cup of soup on a lazy Winter evening can energize you completely. Moreover, if you're suffering from cough and cold then have a bowl of soup, you can get instant relief. This works for me so well. I have already shared the recipe of Creamy Tomato Soup on my blog. You can check it here (click here).



In this post I'm going to share the recipe of Hot n Sour Soup which is not only easy but you can prepare it instantly. You can always add or subtract the veggies as per your liking. So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Creamy Tomato Soup

            

Hello Peeps........The festive season is over now what we're left with are Christmas and New Year but that too are almost a month apart. There is no reason to be disheartened because Winter's are almost here and it's time to indulge ourself in some winter delicacies. 


The markets are getting filled with winter fruits and vegetables. We always go to buy fresh produce from the market and our heart goes garden-garden when we see those fresh leafy vegetables and  fruits. We feel like to buy all of them but have to restrict ourself. 


Winter's are synonyms to Soups. Imagine yourself on a lazy winter evening, getting cozy on your couch, watching Netflix and sipping on hot piping soup. I can completely see myself indulging in that goodness.


So, today's recipe is a rich creamy Tomato Soup with some homemade Croutons. You will need fresh and pulpy Tomatoes for making this soup. The color of the Tomato Soup is very important. You can get it right only when you will use fresh and red Tomatoes. 



So, without doing any further ado let's begin with the recipe:
