Oyster Mushroom Sauté Recipe

This is an easy to make oyster mushroom recipe. Oyster mushrooms are my favourite kind of mushroom. They are named so because of their contour that resembles oysters. Oyster mushrooms have a distinctive luscious taste that I prefer to preserve which is why I have used minimal seasoning and spices. You can use it as a side to pulao, fried rice or any other rice based dish. I made this dish as a side of fried rice. I still haven’t tried it with roti, so I can’t tell you whether it will go with roti or not. However, the taste itself is so incredible, I like to gobble up large quantities of the dish secretly before serving it ;)

Baby corns are of low-calories, low-carb and high fiber content. They are nutritious and tasty. This is basically a stir fried baby corn recipe with a certain Indianisation to the taste. The main trick in cooking this dish is in sautéing the baby corns. The idea is to cook them till they are nice and crispy. Since, I don’t like my dishes too spicy I have added only ½ teaspoons of red chilli powder. However, depending on your taste, you may add more. But, be warned, the cumin seeds will already add a certain amount of zest to the dish.

On the day of Holi every Indian household gets to see lots of friends and visitors at their home invited or uninvited, as Holi is a festival of spreading love and friendship. And it does give immense pleasure to receive their love and affection in form of Abir/ Gulal. It’s a sweet gesture of splashing colours on their faces, hugging each other and yelling like ‘Holi hai’ ‘Bura na mano holi hai’. After Abir/ Gulal it’s time to treat them with sweets and snacks.

I, Green Chilli, had very little time to prepare anything before guests start pouring in. I preferred to buy readymade sweets but for snacks my inner cook shook me up and I made up my mind to make Dahi Vada. Originally the Vada is made with Daal, but due to the time crunch I took a short cut and made it with white bread. It was even yummier and softer than the usual Dahi Vada. Do give this recipe of Dahi Vada a try.

Palak Paneer is a North Indian dish made of Paneer and Spinach leaves. However, adding fenugreek leaves with spinach makes the dish even tastier. It is also referred to as Saag Paneer and is eaten mainly with Indian Roti or Naan. However, many serve it on the side of boiled rice. This an absolute favourite dish of mine and this is a dish you should prepare at home. I am never a fan of the oily Palak Paneer served in restaurants. To me, this dish doesn’t taste right until it is served with one special ingredient- the love and warmth of family. So, here goes, the recipe of Palak Paneer.

I also love munching on fried paneer cubes. Below is a picture of the same. Please note that you should fry the paneer just before preparing the dish. It keeps them crispy and warm and that helps to enhance the overall flavour of the dish.
