Watermelon Twist

by Rimple

Hello friends how are you doing this summer?? Well, for me this is the most hectic part of the year as the kids are having their Summer Breaks!!!! So I feel there’s really nothing good about summers except for Mangoes and Watermelons and to beat this heat I tried this “Watermelon” Juice with a simple twist, and the twist was my juicer.

I have this manual citrus juicer in my kitchen to make orange and pomegranate juice, so one day I thought of making watermelon juice using this juicer and the experiment was quite a success, as the juice had a kind of thick texture and taste  which was different from the electric juicers. I recommend you to  buy this juicer for yourself as it’s very easy and convenient to use and its also it’s very easily available in the market. Given pic of the juicer below in the post do have a look.

Crispy Corn

by Neetu

Finally she took her steps on her own, yes am talking about my daughter, she walked without any support yesterday and I was on top of the world!!!! Obviously that called for a celebration, most of the time we go to Pirates of Grill for an outing and I love their CRISPY CORN, but as I am here in my home town these days I thought of trying it myself and it came out quite well. It’s a quick snack/starter and can be made very easily.

I have given a yummy serving suggestion at the end of the post do have a look.

Conversion Tables

by Khusboo

A big hello to everyone out there, I was a silent reader of hobbychef and when I saw more and more people are participating here to express their love for food in one or the other way, so I definitely would not want to be left behind in the celebrations. I want to make a collection of conversion tables/charts related to cooking/baking here, which will make your task much easier in the kitchen, to start with I am posting two tables and will add on in the same post whenever I find something interesting.

• TEMPRATURE CONVERSION FOR OVEN:-

In many recipes we get temperature mentioned in Fahrenheit, but our ovens are set according to temperature in degree Celsius, so this conversion table will give you in quick conversion from Fahrenheit to Celsius and vice a versa.

Homemade Tahini Paste

by Neetu

I haven’t posted anything in the last few days, not that I am being lazy or something, it’s just my daughter is not keeping well theses days and you know when kids are not well, they wants to be with the mum all the time, so was stressed out a bit and of course the best stress buster for me is cooking.

I quite like Lebanese food but haven’t made it enough in my kitchen so now I thought of gaining some expertise in this cuisine and to start with I made this Tahini Paste which is the main ingredient in most of Lebanese dishes. One important thing I should mention here is this one is the recipe for TAHINI PASTE not TAHINI SAUCE.

Perfectly Boiled Noodles/Review Tops Noodles

by Aman

Hello everyone this is a recipe-cum-review post from me today. “Noodles” not just kids, but everyone love them, but we always wonder why it doesn’t taste the same when it’s cooked at home as it tastes in those Chinese restaurants,  well if you follow the recipe/instructions  given in the post today I don’t think you will think the same ever after.

The first and the important step is obviously boiling noodles and most of the times mistake happens at this step itself which ruins the whole dish. Here is a step-by-step instruction manual on how to perfectly boil noodles.

I have used Tops Plain Noodles for this recipe and there is a mini review at the end of the post.

Kadhai Veg. Pulao/Rice

by Neetu

When I made this lovely Kadhai Masala (you can find the recipe here) one thing I was very sure of, that I won’t make usual kadhai paneer, kadhai mushroom or anything like that using this spice mix. So, I thought of this pulao recipe and trust me guyzzz you have to try it, for my sake, pleaseeeee… It came out really well and was kind of a quicker version of veg Biryani, infact I thought I will use this spice mix in other Biryani preparations as well.

Well, I got so hungry in the process of cooking that couldn’t do the final garnish really well, so don’t be disappointed with the recipe pic, it tastes awesome!!!!

Baking In Microwave

I have not posted anything since last two days as the internet speed is so  slow and the worst part is I can’t do anything about it but wait. I know Saaaddd..

Well, talking about today’s post now, I had this super misconception for long that cakes are best baked in an OTG, but damm, I was so wrong, Microwave convection mode is not just good, but the best to bake any cake, the only thing is one has to operate the appliance properly. So, in this post I will mention step-by-step tutorial on how to use the convection mode of Microwave for baking. Hope it will be useful for my readers.

I have this model of Godrej, and its working fantastic since last 4 years.

Kadhai Masala (Spice Mix)

Kadhai Masala is the basis of all kadhai preparations and this masala can be made and stored in containers for future use, but obviously nothing better than using freshly ground masala in your recipes. There has been already a lot of stuff said and written on these Kadhai (Indian Wok) dishes so I  really won’t spend much of the time writing anything more about it, plain simple post of the day. Enjoy!!!

Knorr Chinese Schezuan

By Neetu

“Time is money” is the most commonly used term these days, but in our kitchen its not just about time its about taste as well, therefore there are many food products available in the market which saves the time you spend in the kitchen and enhances the taste and flavour of the dish , but are all of them worth buying is the big question. Well, I don’t know about all of them, but today I will be reviewing one such product which is Knorr Chinese.
