Theme : Cooking with Corn

For the final post under the theme of Cooking with Corn i was wondering what to post, and as they say you will make it if you are determined, i had to go for a meeting and usually I carry something like rolls, sandwich as in Nigeria we don't get good vegetarian food, and the hold ups are such at times I have been in the hold up for 3 hrs and nothing moves, during these time my carry take helps me a lot and came up to make Corn Spinach open sandwich, as it is very quick and easy, i always have some frozen spinach as it is very handy and also a can of corn kernels and baby corn in pantry do here is quick version of my take on sandwich.

Panki - A tribute to Tarla Dalal

Tarla Dalal ji was the diva of Indian Cuisine, Goddess of Indian Amateur Cooks, the most celebrated cookbook author of India. I don’t have words to describe her glory and achievements. She was an inspirer to many upcoming Cook book author’s, bloggers and I was very much influenced by her books, and started my cooking journey by referring her books. Tarla ji’s website is a hub of Indian & International Cuisine and series of Recipes under Categories such as Healthy Food, Diabetics Friendly, Kid’s recipes, Pregnancy recipes, Zero oil recipe and so on…

Often you will find that some people touch your lives without meeting them personally, on depart of such personalities you feel there is a permanent  vacuum which cant be filled and such was Tarla ji. I came to know about the news when I saw mail from our Blogging Marathon group. With the suggestion of our group member Padma it was decided that we would do a tribute by cooking something from her collection and logo was created by Preeti.

Sweet Potato and Corn Kebab / Shakarkandi aur Makai ke Kabab

Shakarkandi / Sweet potato is used a lot in our kitchens especially during vrat's as it is sweet in taste and has lots of carbohydrate that gives you stamina to fast whole day. But do you know that it is very good for diabetic people as the GI index of Sweet Potato is much less than Potato and it taste yummier. I wanted to make something special for our Tea Party so thought why not try to combine corn and  sweet potato and make something interesting yet appealing, ideal for get-together and parties.
