Lemon Rice – Leftovers were never so tasty
Lemon Rice is an excellent vegetarian recipe idea which in my world is a ”great utilization of leftover rice“. You can also use fresh steamed or boiled rice for this recipe, but leftover always taste better. Think about saving some rice from sunday supper and making quick and delicious lemon recipe for Monday Lunch. My family love this rice recipe. You can use any type of fully cooked rice, I prefer Basmati Rice for its low GI.

Grilled Lamb Rib Chops
Lamb Chops -> Marinated in tangy mustard lemon marinade and grilled for wonderful char flavour.
Lamb chops are perfect for grilling since the cut of meat is best prepared when seared on high heat. In this recipe, the lamb is marinated in mustard, lemon and garlic. I usually allow it to marinate for 5-6 hours so that all good flavors are absorbed in meat. It also enhances the natural meat taste.
This marinade is enough for 4-5 , 1/2 to 1-inch thick lamb chops, if you are making more than 4-5 chops, I suggest to increase the ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 lbs – Lamb (Chops – frenched (just ask your butcher to do this))
- 1/2 tsp – Salt
- 1 tbsp – Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp – Grill Mate Seasoning
- 1 tbsp – Mustard (Ground Or Paste)
- 2 tbsp – Lemon (Juice)
- 1/2 tsp – Red Pepper Powder
- 1/2 tsp – Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp – Garlic (Powder)
Directions for cooking
Take all of the above given ingredients (except oil and lamb chops) in a bowl and mix well…. Read More

Gluten Free Flaxseed Meal Crumble
Crumbles are rich and delicious toppings for fresh fruit desserts. I wanted to make crumble topping for my Mango Crumble recipe when I realized that few of my guests will need gluten free options. So I made this delicious nutty, crunchy and much healthy Flax meal Chickpea Flour crumble. Try this recipe and you will never make crumble traditional way again. It was The Treat for not only my friends on gluten free diet but others as well. I have used olive oil, chickpea flour and Jaggery (or palm sugar) to make this crumble.

Buckwheat (Kuttu) Flour Poori – Speciality in Indian Navaratri Season
Fried Buckwheat Puff Bread
One of my favorite Buckwheat (Kuttu Ka Atta) preparations is Fried Bread, crisp and tasty, it is sure to satisfy your cravings for fried food. This crispy gluten free treats can be enjoyed with Potato Curry Or Cucumber Raita (Cucumber Yogurt Sauce) of your choice.
Buckwheat Or Kuttu Flour is consumed by many north Indians during auspicious one week event of Navaratri every year which is going on right now. During this time in India, people give up eating rice/wheat/Lentils for one week to worship Goddess Durga and worship grains which feed us day after day every day. I am going to share with you few very good recipes in coming 5-6 days. So stay tuned and check back again.
Since Buckwheat Flour is gluten free, it does not bind to make sticky smooth dough. Many people use mashed boiled potato or boiled taro root (Arbi) as binding agent. You can use these binding agents if you are trying making Buckwheet Poori for first time, but for these poories(fried bread), I have not used any binding agent. Adding mashed potato adds a lot of flavor but also make these breads heavy. I have tried to keep these Buckwheat breads light by avoiding addition of starch and using a little patience to roll these crispy light puffs.
Directions: All you need to do is; add little water at a time to make firm dough. And then gently tap it with slight pressure from you palm and fingers (do not use roller pin) to make flat bread on flour dusted board. If it sticks to the board then use flat spatula to lift it (Never lift it using hand or it will break into crumbs).
