This is a warm up to the 7-day recipe marathon initiated by Nupur, at One Hot Stove. Just making sure I haven’t forgotten writing posts! Nupur has provided the much needed push for My Foodcourt and hope to reach the finish line, even though I shall be travelling. Harisa Seasoning was not a very familiar spice to me till recently. My dear brother picked up some free samples for this from a trade fair in Berlin last month. Some Google research and I was tempted to use it immediately; Hit the bulls eye with this recipe for Vegetable Tagine with…

Onion Magic
“It’s probably illegal to make soups, stews and casseroles without plenty of onions.” -Maggie Waldron It’s hard to imagine my food without Onion and Garlic. The flavor of Onions and Garlic being sautéed in the ‘tadka’ is simply irresistible. Especially in the evenings nearing dinnertime, you go for a walk and you are sure to get this irresistible aroma from someone’s kitchen window. Both onions and Garlic add the required ‘zing’ to my food. Here’s a simple starter from Tarla Dalal. Very quick and easy to make; yummy to taste-family opinion.

Quick Roti Quesadilla
A very simple way to use leftover Rotis and curries: This is a hit with my little one and he doesn’t even know he is eating beans, cauliflower, carrots!

The Idea for sealing the Roti edges comes from Nupur’s Aayis samosa. Thanks Nupur and your Aai for this brilliant idea. Roti Quesadilla Recipe:

After marriage I learnt so many wonderful recipes from my mother-in-law, not just idli-dosa etc.. but some really nice curries, rice and Rotis.

It’s a fine blend of Tamilian + Kannadiga cuisine, and now my addition- +Maharashtrian cuisine. So we have some very hybrid recipes cooked in our kitchen! This is a…
Ridge Gourd with Jowar-Wheat flour dumplings
I always wonder what keeps My Foodcourt going? I am not someone who is very good with words , and so the writeup on posts are usually quite small and only occasionally elaborate. My food-photos are ok but not exceptional;I get on an average 5-7 minutes to photograph any of my recipes, before my little one decides it is high time he took charge of the camera! Then what is it? Of course I love your feedback and encouragement, the most important thing that keeps me going. And then there are recipes like these which I love to share with…
