A refreshing salad with Mexican flavours, sounds fancy but I am game for such flavours always. I love pop in the mouth sweet corn, buttery avocado, some herbs like oregano totally lift the flavours of the salad and make it totally Mexican. I went the extra mile and served it with homemade corn bread, just lovely!
On a busy work day evening you can rustle up this Mexican corn salad quickly. Prepare the corn ahead of time and you will have a filling salad ready in no time at all. The red onion slices add a little zing and crunch. And what can I say about avocado the beautiful butter fruit of the gods.

Delicious and fun snacks are always welcome in my home! Especially those snacks which are not oily are the ones we look forward to.

Such snacks can still be very tasty just like this bread cutlet.
Bread cutlet can be made with white or brown bread or whole wheat atta bread. Some really fun things can go into bread cutlet. Pop-in-the-mouth boiled peas, sweet corn with capsicum/bell pepper make this snack simply super.

Cheesy, creamy and delicious, savoury breakfast polenta
07/08/2018 7:41:06 PM vindhyadesai

A comforting porridge to kick-start your day in any weather, sounds good and I am all for it. Porridges usually come in the form of something with a sweet tinge more often than not. Oats porridge with dry nuts for instance. But I try to make savoury porridges like ukad from Maharashtra or ragi ganji from Karnataka. Here I have made Italian special savoury breakfast polenta.
Polenta is essentially cornmeal made into a porridge with Italian origins. Polenta is made in many ways and here I tried a savoury breakfast polenta. It is gluten-free and is light on the stomach making it a perfect dish for breakfast. ... “Breakfast Polenta | Polenta Porridge | Porridge Recipes”

Cool, refreshing watermelon avocado salad, with watermelon vinaigrette
05/06/2018 12:17:10 PM vindhyadesai

Summer is here and a refreshing watermelon avocado salad is the order of the day. Salads are good for you, they provide fibre and all the essential vitamins. Watermelon is a very wholesome fruit, it is full of water and is rich in vitamin A & C. I can chow down big pieces of watermelon in a jiffy, love the texture, love the taste, love watermelon!
This watermelon avocado salad is dressed with a watermelon vinaigrette packed with flavours, tangy and peppy. It lifts the watermelon avocado to a whole new level, rather than adding plain old vinaigrette (emulsified dressing made of oil, vinegar/lemon and seasonings). The watermelon vinaigrette makes it even more watermelony 🙂 ... “Watermelon Avocado Salad | Salad Recipes”

Instant corn idli, an easy breakfast recipe with pop-in-the-mouth corn niblets
12/18/2016 2:55:39 PM vindhyadesai

We all love instant recipes be it idlis or dosas. But instant recipes need to have the right balance to turn out to be tasty. Their fermented counterparts enjoy the time to rest and turn out to be light and airy. But adding flavourful things into a recipe like corn or spinach like this instant corn idli makes them taste so good!
Corn idli is made from corn rava (maize rava/cornmeal). This is easily available in grocery stores. Just like making rava idli, this instant corn idli is a specialty. It has yogurt added for moisture and light instant fermentation. The pop-in-the-mouth corn niblets (frozen/fresh) along with sweet raisins make them very unique in taste. ... “Instant Corn Idli | Idli Recipes”

Biting into warm melted cheese is like a dream come true. Sandwich with spinach, sweet corn mixed with white sauce and topped with cheese is one of the best sandwiches ever. I had eaten corn spinach cheese sandwich a few years back on a flight and instantly had fallen in love with this green-yellow cheesy goodness. Since then I have made this sandwich many times.
Sometimes I use frozen spinach and corn and sometimes fresh or a combination of both. There is no difference in taste and tastes heavenly each time. ... “Corn Spinach Cheese Sandwich | Sandwich Recipes”

Generally most of us eat regular white bread or nowadays health conscious people eat whole wheat bread.

Similarly in Mexico they have different types of bread like tortillas, corn bread etc. They are a corn loving nation and their corn tortillas are so good!
