Some of you might me thinking - why this blog is not being updated for almost a year now! Well, I have a reason, and pretty good reason for that!</div>

A new member has been added to our family by the most gracious Allah (swt). After a wait of six long years, I found out I was expecting in December last year! Our bundle of joy arrived on August 22. A baby boy, born at 11:14 PM, weighing 6.13 pounds, and 19 and a half inch long. Our little bundle is so adorable, precious, and lovable. Sincere Thank You to everyone who prayed for us and gave us their best wishes. </div>

So it has been a long long while that I am writing this
post. I really have no excuse for being absent from this space. It’s just life
happens at times and you tend to give importance to your regular day stuff than
your hobby like this blog. I am still cooking (as it is the regular day stuff)
and eating delicious food but just am not able to take pictures, store it,
write about it, and then post it. I wish I can take breaks in my regular life
for the regular stuff, just like I do for this hobby of mine <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span>… complicated I know,

As a kid, I was not very fond of this veggie. Every time my mom would cook it I would try to get away eating it. Replacing the curry (sabzi) with achar (pickle) or honey or sweetened yogurt. Oh, there were many ways I could avoid eating this. However, all of this kinda changed in 2003. This was the year when my paternal grandparents came over to United States to be with us for a period of 5 months. It was the bestest time ever! My grand father is no more, but my grand mother (Dadima) is still around and quite healthy as well, alhamdolillah!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When they visited us in 2003, I was a Junior in UMass Boston. My classes were early in the morning from 8 to 12 or 8-1. I would be home by 2 at most and be with them for the rest of the day. Everyone else (except younger brother, who was in school and would be home by 2:30) were working so they would be home much later, like 5 or 6 or sometimes at 7. I would normally get home at 2, make some fresh rotis and a quick veggie and me, younger brother and my grandparents would do our lunch together. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
One day I had to work on a group presentation, so I knew I was going to be late. I told Dadima that I will be late today but should be home by 3 at most. I forgot to tell my mom, otherwise she would have made sure to cook something before she leaves for work :). However, the work took longer and I couldn't get home till 4. Obviously she wasn't going to wait for me to come and cook lunch for us. So she made aloo gobhi and <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/05/roti-chapati-indian-flat-bread.html" target="_blank">rotis</a> and they had their lunch at a regular time. I go home and Dadima tells me that she made aloo gobhi - I literally frowned and told her that I hate this dish!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dadima is very good at convincing people, she convinced me to finish at least one <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/05/roti-chapati-indian-flat-bread.html" target="_blank">roti</a> and then I can have whatever I want. I am so glad she did that 'cause it changed everything. She makes the best aloo-gobhi EVER! That was the first and last time I had aloo-gobhi made from her hand. Till this date, I have been trying to make this dish just like hers but it's no way near it. I guess I missing the ingredient called "LOVE & CARING". Maybe when I become a grandma mine would taste just like hers :) :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this recipe is no way near hers but it surely is a truely delicious serving that you can have on a regular work day!!</div>

I have been following <a href="http://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/" target="_blank">Swathi's Indian Healthy Recipes</a> for quiet a few months now and I absolutely love her blog, she not only posts healthy recipes but also have step by step instructions that helps you follow her footsteps :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you Swasthi for sharing all of your wonderful recipes!! Do check out her blog, you will love it!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is my take on the Moong Dal Dosa - you can find the original recipe <a href="http://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/2012/06/authentic-andhra-pesarattu-whole-moong.html#.UHShCxXA8sQ" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had to change couple of things - I didn't had whole moong available so I used yellow split moong dal instead; and I skipped the sauteed onion part since I like to have my dosas with either sweet yogurt or <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/04/earth-day-special.html" target="_blank">tomato-garlic chutney</a>. I was great, dear hubby loved it and it ended being a perfect breakfast for Sunday morning. You must try this recipe!! It's out of this world!! Specially if you are a dosa lovers like me :)</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">It is very well known snack… in
every street of Gujarat… in every household of a Gujarati… One just cannot go wrong in serving these
delicious looking, flavorful, tiny little potato snacks – aloo ke bhajiye.</span><br />

I moved to US when I was 15, so I
never had a luxury to get on bike when it rains and go to a local cart on the
roadside and eat these bhajiyas with chai. Though, my dear hubby has been/was
very lucky until about 5 years when I married him and took him away to this
dreadful cold country where when it snows/rains the only thing you want to do
it cuddle up under a blanket and take long long long naps… <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span><o:p></o:p></div>

I first tried this at Chipotle. My brother took us out for a mini celebration two years ago and that is when I had this rice for the very first time in a veg bowl. It was so great! I wanted to try this out for so long but I never made anything interesting to partner up this delicious rice with. Recently I made <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2012/09/grilled-salmon-over-cilantro-rice.html" target="_blank">grilled salmon</a> and served it over cilantro rice. It tasted so good! Hopefully soon enough I will try to replicate the veg bowl at Chipotle, I just need to get a good recipe for Mexican hot sauce. </div>

I have always been reluctant to making seafood in home. Firstly, I am not too fond of it and secondly, once you cook it is hard to get rid of the smell. Dear Hubby thinks its not that bad but I think I am paranoid when it comes to seafood. All of this changed after my marriage, dear Hubby is a full blown sea food fan, be it a fish, shrimp, lobsters, clams, etc etc and the list goes on. Before marriage, I would not even touch the shrimp and I won't eat anything on the days when my mom makes shrimps. However, now I clean it, marinate it and cook it without any issues... <em><span style="color: #cc0000;">See what Love makes you do!!! :) :)</span></em></div>

<span style="color: black;">I don't have very many experience making grilled salmon at home, however, I have very many experience eating grilled salmon at various restaurants. So I kinda knew what to expect but wasn't sure, 'cause I wanted to make it a little bit more spicy and give it an Indian touch to it. Here is what I did:</span></div>

A rather pretty late wishes... Eid Mubarak everyone!<br />
<br />
Things had been a little hectic after Eid. My niece and nephew along with Sis-in-law went to India for a long break!!! 4 months!! Oh.. its so quiet and lonely without them... You don't realize how much someone means to you until you are apart. My mom really misses them, so almost every night she calls me over. After those two kids.. I am considered a kid as well. :)<br />
<br />
Anyways, Eid was really great.. so much fun with friends and family. I made sheer-khurma, chicken tikka, dal vadas, <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/11/jeera-puri.html" target="_blank">jeera puri</a> and some cashews and dried apricots. Here are some pictures and the recipe for sheer-khurma.<br />

As we say our goodbyes to the month of Ramadan this year... it breaks my heart that this blessed month is already over and we have to wait for another long year for the next one to come back... Not only will I miss all the prayers and supplications and suhoor and iftaris, but I will also miss all these goodies that I have been sharing with you all for the entire month! One of them being Falooda... this is one of the best drink to serve at Iftrai. It's not only filling but also very flavorful and healthy!!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well first of all, sorry for being away for a while from the blogging world... this time round I have a pretty good reason for it. Last weekend I was trying to see how well I multi-task, so I was on the phone with my mother in law, washing potatoes on one side, and frying kheema (ground goat meat) on the other. Not a good idea to do when you MIL is giving you good tips on what to do for Eid, while you are working with hot water and hot OIL... guess what, as soon as I dropped the kheema in the wok where I had oil heating up.. all the oil splashed up to my hand, burning my right hand wrist... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I felt the hot and burning sensation throughout my hand, quickly lowered the flame and mistakenly put my hand under HOT water... Ouch!!! Now keep in mind all this while I was on the phone with MIL so I wanted to make sure that she doesn't know about it... so you can't technically scream... :). Quickly turned the water into cold and let it ran through my hand, and in two minutes or so I went back to cooking. All this time I was thinking well the oil can't be that hot, 'cause I had just turned on the stove.. but boy I was wrong. For next hour or so, I continued on working/cooking/cleaning and took a shower. After the shower my wrist was all red and burning so bad... Dear Hubby, being a Doctor he is, got super mad at me for not paying attention. I go, "it's not that bad, it will heal soon".. and he goes, "Yeah, but it's your right hand, and you won't be able to cook or work for next seven days!!!"... Uh-O... The burn is about two inches long and one and half inch wide... Now everyone who sees it, asks me what happened and I tell them the entire story, and they are like, "How can you not know that it burned that bad"... Hey I just didn't okay.. this is my first burn ever, how am I suppose to know?!?!?!?"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mix all ingredients for batter - make sure there are no lumps of chickpea flour and the batter should be more towards the thicker side. Adjust water quantity as needed. Lime juice is key to this batter, what it does is when you fry the pakoras it doesn't let it absorb so much oil. </span></div>

I am not sure if this is what it’s called but anyways... <br />
<br />
<br />
Out of these <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2012/07/spring-roll-ramadan-special.html" target="_blank">Spring Rolls</a> that I made for Ramadan, I had some <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2012/07/spring-roll-ramadan-special.html" target="_blank">chicken filling</a> leftover after making 125 rolls. I wasn't sure what to do with it so I froze it initially. One day, I was trying to figure out what to make for iftar and noted that I had some pastry sheets that my mom gave me last Ramadan that I never used. I decided to put it to a good use and made these delicious chicken pastry cups... <br />

Just like <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2012/07/samosa-ramadan-special.html" target="_blank">Samosas</a>, this is one of the other favorite Ramadan delicacy that we make before hand and freeze it for a rainy day :)... You always have to plan your Ramadan out if you are working full time. I really wish that one of these Ramadan months, I will be able to take the entire month off and be actually able to celebrate it as I want and make fresh new dishes every day for the loved ones. For now it seems like I have a long way to go for getting the entire month off. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways, people say that these are easier to make compared to samosas. However, to me they are both the same, neither one is more complicated than other. </div>

I had invited over a really good friend of mine for lunch. She is from Hydrabad, so I decided to make <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2011/08/masala-dosa.html" target="_blank">masala dosas</a> for her. We had so much fun together. While my apartment filled up with aromas of dosas and sambhar, we catch up on so many things, along with our intellectual discussion on worldly issues and major discussion on Aamir Khan's show <a href="http://www.satyamevjayate.in/" target="_blank">SatyaMev Jayate</a>. I truely applaud <a href="https://www.google.com/#hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=Aamir+khan&oq=Aamir+khan&gs_l=serp.12...0.0.1.13516.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0.NuircMBl_i8&psj=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=44d2dafa893896fb&biw=1366&bih=600" target="_blank">Aamir Khan</a> for what he is doing for our country. Being such an influential personalty, I am sure this show will influence many people, specially youngsters which we really need as a nation in India. </div>

Coming back to the recipe, I had a cup full of batter leftover and wasn't sure what to do with it. My friend suggested that I let it ferment for one more day, then add a little bit rice flour, along with onions, green chilies, and cilantro, and fry it up as pakoras. She assured me that they will come out great and she was absolutely correct. I loved every single bite of these delicious pakoras and are perfect as an iftar item or a tea time snack. </div>

Ramandan is almost here but the preparation for this festival has been going on for months in my house and my heart. I always look forward to the month of Ramadan not only because of the good food we make but also because this is the best way to purify my heart and my body. Through the fasting, I feel like my body goes through an entire cleansing process and through all the prayers and reading the Quran it purifies my heart and soul. It is the best month out of the entire year. Our Prophet (SAW) has said that it is someones bad luck if they don't take full advantage of this month. <br />

The devil (shaitan) is looked up in hell for this month and a true believer will submit to Allah (swt) in a true manner this month. This is so true, 'cause if you ask me to fast for a single day in any other months besides Ramadan, it would be impossible for me; but the month of Ramadan it is so easy and only Allah (swt) makes it easy for me. Regardless of the cold winter or hot summer; regardless of the fast being 6 hours long or 14 hours long... its always easy. This year it will fall in mid-July to mid-August. The hottest months of the year in Boston area; but I know for sure that it will be easy for a true believer!</div>

We are not supposed to eat or drink from Sunrise to Sunset. This means that when sunsets we all eat a delicious spread of fruits, snacks, meals, and desserts! There are some dishes that are specially made in Ramadan, like <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2011/05/haleem.html" target="_blank">this Haleem</a> and <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2011/08/nihari-ramadaan-special.html" target="_blank">Nihari</a>. Samosas are one of the most endearing snack that you would find at any Southeast Asia Iftar (breaking the fast time). These are easy to make, you can make loads of them and freeze it. When you are working and/or do million things together (like me:) ), this is the best item to make for a quick snack or serve at a surprise visits of guests. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It may look complicated to make, just like I felt for <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2012/07/nachos.html" target="_blank">Nachos</a>, but once your are on it, you are on the roll! <br />

I had read this recipe at someone's blog about a year ago. I am not able to give the full credits because I don't remember where I saw it. However, I will claim that this is not my original recipe and I read it somewhere almost a year ago and wanted to try it but couldn't get around it until now. Gladly, I remembered what I had to use in order to make this delicious kheer. </div>

This is a must try! My Dad loved this so much that he now every now and then asks me to make it. He even praises it in front of his friends so much that all those uncles are now asking me to make some for them as well. This dish is also health and I plan to make it throughout Ramadan to give us energy while we fast. This dish will also make a nice presentation on Eid as well. </div>

Somethings you just fantasize over, even though you know that I won't be as hard as making <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/09/shahi-chicken.html" target="_blank">Shahi Chicken</a>. Nachos was one of these things. I, for some reason, always thought that this is something I won't be able to make until one day we ordered Nachos from a local place and what we got was burnt, not enough cheese, no <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/07/guacamole-dip.html" target="_blank">guacamole</a> and tiny little portion (not even enough for one person) for a price of $9. It ruined my evening big time and I was not going to compromise this again. </div>

If you like, you can mix together salsa, <a href="http://desizayeka.blogspot.com/2010/07/guacamole-dip.html" target="_blank">guacamole</a>, sour cream, and refried beans and place it on top of chips. I like to spread it out separately 'cause everyone have their own preferences of what they want to eat. <br />

It's been raining a lot lately, which is really good, however I really miss the 'summer weather'. I really hope that this summer doesn't turn out to be a rainy one like we had the year before. I want to be able to do BBQs, hang out at the beach, do picnics and all the other summer fun stuff before Ramadan, which is scheduled to start July 20th. So I really want this weather to improve up a little bit and then it can rain as much as it wants during Ramadan to make our fasting easy going :)... talk about selfishness man!</div>

I made some Shami Kababs for a dinner party few weeks ago and had some left, so during one of the weekdays, I made these shami kabab burgers which weren't just filing but very delicious as well. Dear Hubby kept asking for more but I only had a few shami kababs left. This is a simple and filling snack that is worth trying!</div>

Some people have a really bad sweet tooth craving, while others don't. Me and Dear Hubby fall into the latter category. I used to love sweets but now for some reason I don't really like it that much. The only ones in our family who loves sweet is my Mom, Dad, and Sister in Law. With majority of us not being a fan of sweet dish, in a normal gathering we always skip this. However, when we have a formal gatherings, we can't really do that. In such occasions I try to make something that is not too too sweet yet good enough for our guest. I saw this carrot kheer <a href="http://www.yummytummyaarthi.com/2012/04/carrot-kheer-carrot-payasam.html" target="_blank">recipe</a> on <a href="http://www.yummytummyaarthi.com/" target="_blank">Aarthi's Blog</a> and decided to make this healthy sweet dish. It was not only liked by our guests but was also loved by dear hubby!!!</div>

Lately, I have been working on giving a new look to my blog... less did I know that it was going to ruin my entire layout. I was a CS (Computer Science) Major in college for about three semester and every time when we have to write the coding for the assignment, I would go insane. I would have everything done correctly, with an exception of a missing ; or < or > or ' or " or { or } or \ or /...... Stupid symbols, I used to think... These symbols were the only reason for me to change my major and become a CPA.... I think I made the right choice. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But have you ever wondered, humanity started with sign language and then symbols, which then became what we know as various different languages... Now we go back and use the "symbols" in order to create all these programs to make our life easier... Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyways, after a long struggle with the html code and a little help from my brother (who by the way is an IT tech, but very busy) I was able to publish the new look for my blog... You may call it a Spring Cleaning for my blog as well...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope you guys like this new look... do let me know...</div>

Coming to the recipe. This Pulao I tried it during the tax season. I used to come home around 8 and leave around 9 in the morning, this left me with a very little time to cook a full blown meal like I normally do and this is something that I suffer from every year (last year it was so brutal that I had to take a blogging break:( )... I tried this pulao, basically threw everything in the pressure cooker and the result was really awesome! Hence, I thought of sharing this with you all out there who sometimes struggle with time like I do... </div>

<strong><em><u>Process:</u></em></strong><br />
<ol>
<li>Heat two tblsp oil in a wok, add in washed minced goat meat and cook till the water evaporates and the meat is half way cooked. (The meat will turn from pink to grayish). Keep the half cooked meat aside. </li>
<li>Heat three tblsp oil in add in whole red chili and whole spices in mentioned in #4 above. </li>
<li>Add in sliced onions and cubed potatoes. </li>
<li>Add in chopped tomotoes as the onions turn light brown. </li>
<li>Cook tomotoes till oil separates. </li>
<li>Add in Red spice mixture (#7), yogurt, cooked meat, chopped mint and coriander leaves, and fried onions. </li>
<li>Mix well and let it cook for about 4-5 minutes. </li>
<li>Now add rice and water, mix well. </li>
<li>Pressure cook it for 15 minutes - this step varies based the type of pressure cooker you are using. Normally, for my pressure cooker I let it whistle three times and that gets it done. </li>
</ol>
I know the ingredients list and process looks a bit long for a quick meal but it really doesn't take that long as it looks!<br />

I am eagerly waiting for the warm weather visit our neck of the wood - Why? Well first of all I am not really a winter type of girl; second, we can do a lot of other FUN things in summer time compared to winter (for example, enjoy lazy afternoons, Bar-B-Q, Parties and get together, and much much more!!!); however, the <b>MAIN </b>thing that I like to do, just like many of you out there, is to munch on delicious, flavorful, juicy <b>mangoes </b>... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, there few things that doesn't stop you having this delicious fruit off season. One of the reasons would be this delicious post by Nags the author of<a href="http://www.cookingandme.com/" target="_blank"> Edible Garden</a>. I could not help myself but try this cheese cake recipe. It came out fabulous but I could have done few things differently. Like:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Nags used gelatin, I didn't have any halal gelatin available, so I used China Grass instead. I should have used more, because the top layer didn't really settle as I had expected. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Nags used Honey maid crackers, whereas I used Marie Biscuit. I should have used a little bit more so that I would have had a better bottom layer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This is one of those dishes that I just experimented and came out so good! Dear Hubby loves anything with coconut. Be it a goat curry, ice cream, candy, chutney or any thing that you can think of. I don't know that many dishes which includes coconut, and for me coconut with any meat is not that great of a combo. However, coconut with anything sweet is YES!!! Perfect Combo!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a can of coconut milk sitting in my pantry for quite a long time now. As I was rearranging my pantry, I took the can out and thought of making something sweet with it, but not too sweet either; and this is what I ended up doing...</div>

This snack is to die for if you are a cheese lover, like I am... We always order this from our local Pizza shop and at UNO's, we always used to wonder how exactly they make this sinful delicious side dish. This was when I was in my teens. Later on, I got so addicted to making everything at home and tried variety of recipes from all over the world but never tried to make these sticks; until the other day, my niece mentioned it to me and said she loves it. I decided to make this for her. I went on Google and searched variety of recipes and finally decided to make my own recipe for it, a bit spiced up and a bit Indianized, may I add. :)</div>

After making this dish, I had to do my food photography session, my niece was very patience throughout the whole process, however at the end she could not hold herself back and kept wandering around the plate full of this delicious snack... You can see the innocence in her eyes... Isn't she the cutest baby!!! I love her to death... </div>

This recipe is adapted from multi-talented <a href="http://kurryleaves.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kurryleaves</a>!! I absolutely love her blog and you will too, when you look at it. The original recipe for Choco Rolls is<a href="http://kurryleaves.blogspot.com/2011/12/choco-rolls.html" target="_blank"> here</a>. I didn't really changed much but here are my notes:<br />
<br />
1. I used 10 Marie Biscuits, to be precise.<br />
2. I should have sieved the instant coffee powder, that would have given me a better result.<br />
