Zeera rice

Thanks to FMB that I learnt how to cook so tasty and flavorful zeera rice.
First soak the rice (preferably for 30 mins at least)
Meanwhile slice green chillies into halves.
Now heat oil on a pan and add zeera that is cumin seeds, bay leaf and cinnamon stick. Now as the green chilies and add some water and quickly cover. (I am not sure as to why add some water and cover.)
Bring the water to boil and as some more water you think is enough for the rice to cook well. When everything comes to a boil then add salt and the soaked rice. Trust me in 15 minutes the rice will be ready.
Rice will be better than restaurant style.

Sweet corn soup

My husband's favorite.. Absolute favorite!!
This is the easiest soup
Heat butter in a pot and add zeera, green chilies and garlic finely chopped.(don't add lot of green chillies as you have to add black pepper powder later; plus this soup should be sweet boy spicy)
Then add boneless chicken and carrots and corn.(If corn already boiled then add later.) Saute for few mins.
Then and water, Maggi cubes salt and pepper.
Let this whole thing come to a boil then let it some on medium heat for already 30-40 mins.
Lastly add cornflour to thicken the consistency of the soup. Let it come to a boil once after adding cornflour then reduce to low heat. Give 3-4 for cornflour to cook.
You can beat egg and pour on it when the soup comes to a boil.. And while pouring keep stirring. And some vinegar for a tangy taste.
You can even add noodles at the end and give it 5 mins to cook.

So the soup is ready. Yummy!!

Veg Fried Rice

First cook some rice preferably Basmati Rice (first heat oil in a pan then saute the washed rice in it. Then add some warm water and make sure the grains don't stick to each other. When rice looks cooked then remove from heat and add oil and stir a little. Then keep it in the refrigerator to cool down.)

Now heart oil in a pan and add the following ingredients on high heat in the given order:
Ginger garlic finely chopped
Green chilies
Boiled Chicken if u wanna add chicken
White heads of green onions
Carrots diced
Cabbage
Capsicum diced (try and keep the veggies of similar size)
When all these are crispy and translucent then add red chilli sauce
Then stir and cook for 3-4 mins then add the cooked rice and stir again
Add soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper powder, green onions finely chopped and some salt to taste and stir again.
If you want your rice a little more cooked then you can add some water and let it simmer (I used veg Maggi cube and dissolved it in very little water and added to the rice.)
U can also add egg if you want. Just beat the egg and add seasonings and chilli sauce to it. Then pour on a pan and make scrambled eggs. Then add this too to the rice before adding any extra water.

So that's it.. It takes v less cooking time. Just the chopping part is a pain!!

Chicken lollipops!!

Using wings to turn them into lollipops is a tedious task. But after that it gets v easy.
Start with marinating these lollipops(14-16) with some green chili sauce, 2 tbsp ginger garlic paste, one tbsp soy sauce, crushed black pepper corns and salt. Keep it for like 30 mins .. Actually 15 mins will also do. More time better the taste.

Now mix these ingredients to make the batter for the lollipops: 1 tbsp chopped garlic and ginger each 2 tbsp red chili paste (chopped green chilies or crushed pepper corns is optional) then half cup all purpose flour and corn flour each and some water. Make a thick batter. And salt to taste.

Now heat oil and deep fry the lollipops after dipping them in the batter until deep brown...

Serve hot and crispy.. Yummy!
