Beans on Toast

The most delicious beans on toast I have had is in my host's family in England, when I went there on a cultural exchange program. Trying to recreate that memory I embarked upon experimenting with the traditional Brit breakfast.

Canned Red Beans
Tomato sauce

Stir in the sauce and beans in a sauce pan. Add coriander powder + salt + pepper + chilli powder. Once a thick consistency is achieved pour it over toasted bread. Make sure that the bread is crisp and well toasted.

If you like you can add some cheddar cheese and bake it for a couple of minutes.

Delightful Watermelon juice

A single watermelon gives over 25 glasses of juice. Blend watermelon pieces + sugar. Serve chilled.

Paneer Bhurji

I used diced capsicums also. Add when frying the onion. 

Oh God! I am She.

When Caeser meets Maggi

Caeser's Salad : The much misunderstood gentleman who has been erroneously related to Julius Caeser was created in a humble kitchen. The only ingredients from the original recipe used here are Paramesan & Pepper.

Maggi: The two-minute Indian beauty that has pandered to graduate cooking all these decades. Even Top-Ramen is only a runner-up in the culinary celerity-beauty contest.





Insulting-Caeser-Salad Recipe

Cut stale bread into huge chunks and fry them in butter till golden brown. In another pan, add butter and some frozen spinach. Once it thaws, add paprika + pepper + salt and stir till spinach absorbs the flavor.
Then add the bread chunks and fry for a couple of minutes. Top this off with Caser dressing and Paramesan cheese.

Maggi

Come on now. Follow the instructions on the packet. Just throw in some green peas when the water is boiling.

Wham bham thank you ma'am!
