Jeera is a simple. yet a very flavourful and delectable side dish for potato
lovers. It is wonderful accompaniment for rice or rotis or breads and just
makes a wholesome meal. Cumin seeds is a very common ingredient in each and
every Indian kitchen. Apart from the unique flavour and taste cumin seeds have
numerous health benefits. They have good amount of iron to fight anemia, so
adding cumin seeds in our everyday cooking improves the iron level in our
blood. The most well-known health benefit of cumin seeds is, it controls
stomach pain, helps in digestion, nausea and morning sickness. Regular intake
of cumin seeds in our diet helps in fighting common cold because of its
antiseptic properties. Ok, I think now I will now move on to the recipe. Check out other delectable potato dishes here...

Capsicum Besan Sabji/Capsicum Fry with Chickpea Flour/Tri Colour Capsicum Fry
I am
seriously fond of capsicums I thinks it’s because of its mild flavour, vibrant colour
and so many more reasons. Botanically capsicums/bell peppers are fruits as they
have seeds. But as they are widely used for cooking, so they are accepted as
vegetables. Capsicums have different
names around the world, they are called as chilli peppers in Britain. In USA
and Canada they are called as Bell peppers. In Australia and Asia they are
known as Capsicums. The capsicums come in different colours like green, red,
yellow, orange and even purple, though I am yet to see a purple one. I was
really astonished when I read about purple capsicums. The stronger the color of
capsicums, the higher the level of anti-oxidants in them. They have high content
of vitamin A, C, B complex , E along with other important minerals needed for
our body. Let’s all eat healthy and lead a healthy life. Please check out other Capsicum dishes here.

There
is one big problem I am coming across every day, it is definitely not cooking,
it is not teaching lessons for kids, it is not the household work, it is not

then move ahead. Coming to today’s recipe I made chilli paneer dry version,
which is yet another delectable paneer dish found in all the restaurant menus. This
is another simple and quick paneer dish made with onions, capsicums, blended

Baby Corn & Mangetout Stir Fry Recipe /Snow Peas Stir Fry Recipe/Baby Corn & Mangetout Stir Fry with step by step photos
Stir
fry is a very popular cooking method originated in China. It is a very convenient, easy
and quick way to cook food. This is a very simply and healthy baby corn &
mangetout stir fry. Mangetout peas is similar to the snow peas and snap peas
which cooks really fast but still crunchy and tasty. Though I have cooked snow
peas a lot, after having come to UK, I came across mangetout peas which looks
and taste same as snow peas. When I searched about mangetout peas came to know
that it is a French word meaning “eat the lot” a phrase for the sort of peas
that is eaten pod and all. I thought of making just baby corn stir fry, but
since I had the mangetout peas I added them as well and it tastes great. If you
don’t get mangetout peas you can replace them with snow peas or snap peas or do
the same recipe with just baby corns.
