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.

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:

Monsoon Magic- Butterfly Sandwich
The only butterfly in this sandwich is the shape J A hot grilled sandwich is an all time favourite in our house. I usually dress up some left over stir fries with white sauce- stuff it in between two slices of bread and grill it till crisp and you get Irresistible, yummy crisp sandwiches. The stir fries which get this L look in the morning (usually for lunch) suddenly get this J look with the grilled sandwich. Enjoy this hot grilled Butterfly sandwich with a cup of tea in the wet cozy rainy weather!
