Cheddar Cheese and Dhaniya Jeera kachoris



For those who are from north India just cannot live without  Kachoris. Daal Kachori Aloo kachori matar kachori ...list goes on and on....

I love these babies too. We came back from our native after the great Indian festival called diwali..so I had enough of all the types..but being the northy that I am..i was craving for some deep fried snack like kachori but with a different twist....

Here is my innovative take on kachori...Cheddar Cheese and Dhaniya Jeera Kachoris

For filling you need:
grated Cheddar Cheese - 1 cup
finely chopped green chili - as per taste 
Chopped coriander - 2 tablespoons
Roasted Jeera Powder: 1.5 teaspoons
Salt - few pinches (optional)
None of the limited spices we are using should over power cheese. You can moderate all quantities according to your taste.

For Dough:
caraway seeds - 1 tsp
all purpose flour or Maida - 1.5 cup
Oil - 1.5 tablespoons
salt to taste.

Knead the dough like as one would for pooris not very soft. Keep it away for 15 mins.



Now make small balls similar to what one makes for pooris. make a hole in the middle and stuff the cheese filling. Close the ball properly. and roll out in small round shape with a light hand.


Heat oil in a wok for deep frying. Make sure the oil is not too hot otherwise kachoris will be chewy from inside and wont be crisp or cooked evenly 


Cheese and tomato ketchup always work..so serve with tomato sauce. Enjoy piping hot.

Quick, easy and moist OREO cake

I am a very impulsive eater and while most times I would invest time on stiff egg white peaks for a perfect cake ,there are time when i just want a very quick fix which has chocolate is moist and is a cake which I can eat with a lot of  chocolate sauce to satiate the chocolate craving.I use to swear by the chocolate cake in a cup but I have found a new favorite and sharing the same here.


The Super Easy Quick Moist Oreo cake.





What do I need?..... Well nothing much...a packet of oreo biscuits, a cup of milk and the eno fruit salt one t - spoon full


Grind the biscuits together with cream intact to a fine powder. Take this out in a container and milk and stir into a coating consistency batter. Something similar to how dhokla batter looks before we add soda or eno.

To this batter add eno and stir again. Thats it. Preparation is done.


Now microwave this for 5-6 mins. Take this out of microwave and allow it to cool before you de - mould otherwise it might just crumble..its that soft.


Enjoy with chocolate sauce.
