Nan Khatai

The inspiration and recipe came from a friend in the neighborhood who made these on Mother’s Day and promptly left a sample for each of us. 


And the effort came from Master S, who has been being really handy in the kitchen these days. I just had to babysit these when they were in the oven. 



Delish!

Aloo methi (Potato with fenugreek leaves)

Image
Had to put that first harvest to use, so I decided to make aloo methi. I love the bitterness of the methi leaves paired with the crispness of sauteed potatoes. At home, whenever mom made aloo methi, we would eat it for lunch/dinner and then the following day snack on the leftovers with matthi (crisp indian snack bread). I like to keep the flavors of aloo methi simple and I typically follow the same steps that I saw my mom make with. For posting here though, I decided to go look for a recipe that's similar (since I am lazy to write measurements and most people prefer having some proportions to cook with). This one came pretty darn close. https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/aloo-methi-recipe-dry-aloo-methi-recipe/ Sometimes I add a bit of garlic - its totally skippable. And if I sprinkle the leaves with salt beforehand to remove the bitterness, I also add some turmeric to it (just a sprinkling, about 1/4 teaspoon). Enjoy!

Burrata and peach salad

Image
A friend recently reminded me of an avocado-burrata-peach toast we had after a hike in SF, where we ended the afternoon by visiting the food trucks of "Off the grid". And very soon I was craving for the burrata-peach combo. Its the creaminess of burrata with its mild saltiness that does wonders when it is paired with juicy, sweet peaches. I went looking for a recipe on the internet and found this one by two peas and their pod. https://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/tomato-peach-burrata-salad/ Not many changes were done to the recipe except I also sprinkled some sea salt, black pepper and drizzled some olive oil on the top. We paired it with whole rye bread as an open sandwich - it was a hit.
