Fenugreek leaves, also called Kasuri Methi, is an herb/ vegetable with a bitter but an addictive taste. I find myself adding it to everything from rice, to chicken and also rotis. People often like to mix methi with spinach to mellow out the bitterness. I am sharing a recipe where methi is used as a vegetable and to which paneer is added, and so the sweetness and richness of paneer also mellows out the bitterness of methi. This is a highly fragrant winter dish that goes beautifully with almost any indian bread-chapatis, naans, rotis or parathas or with some daal and rice.

Kale Ginger Margarita
I love ginger, I love kale but know nothing about making alcoholic drinks. It is my husband’s domain and this is his recipe.
Since, many of you are preparing to host annual Christmas or New year party or planning to make healthy eating and drinking resolutions, I thought someone must be interested in a healthy cocktail. Margaritas are generally high calorie cocktail, however with a few swaps and tweaks one can still craft a healthy version. My husband says that when one can have kale in salads, smoothies, stir-fries, then why not in cocktails?

Methi Wali Makki ki Roti
Punjab is India’s ‘bread basket’ and flat breads are made fresh everyday from various grain and bean flours such as wheat, sorghum, barley, buckwheat, corn and chickpea. Come winters and, it’s makki ki roti or yellow corn flat bread, that becomes staple in every punjabi household – be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Corn often referred to as maize in Punjab, is gluten free which makes it a good option for those who are allergic to wheat.
Traditionally, Makki ki roti makes a splendid combination with sarson ka saag (cooked mustard greens) but it can also be cooked in other ways to relish with yogurt and butter. This recipe is flavored with fresh methi (fenugreek leaves). Rich, pungent and slightly bitter, fenugreek leaves are extremely nutritious and turns a plain makki ki roti into something delicious and healthy!
