A quick pot Lemon Chicken in #MyKitchen. Minimal oil, basic seasoning and the result is #MagicofFlavours

We had this authentic Chinese Dinner at Fujiya, Malcha Marg yesterday. Our starters included Crispy Veg Salt & Pepper, Chicken on Toast and Golden Fried Prawns. The mains comprised pan fried Fujiya Special Veg Noodles and Veg Sweet & Sour. After a long time, we had delectable Crispy Veg, big sized flavourful prawns, innovatively done Chicken. The noodles were a delight to look at with glazed veggies sitting atop a bowl of moist noodles. Sour & Sweet Vegetables was a very well balanced Curry which released a bouquet of flavours when combined with the noodles. The portions of each dish were reasonably good, full of flavours, loads of meat and loads of veggies. #MagicofFlavours

Enjoyed this Orriya Thali lunch in a local restaurantised Dhaba in Bhubaneswar today. The starter platter served on the table was a beautiful sight and very appetising to savour. This small steel thali had the traditional Pitha (mashed potatoes with a dash of mustard oil & onions), Kosala (amaranth leaves) Saag with crumbled Dal Badi, Roasted Papad and Pickle. This was followed by our main thali consisting a Dal, one Aloo Badi Curry, Kosha Mangshu (Mutton Curry done in just onion, garlic and ginger) and Rice. We had ordered Pomphret Tawa Fry as add on. Fish was soft and silky. Mutton was on the bone and firm yet succulent and was very well flavoured. It was a feast of #MagicofFlavours

It's Saturday!!! Finally 2 days of not getting up at 6 am. Happy me!!
Slept late on Friday night thinking i'll wake up late.. completely forgetting about the promise I made to my 4 year old.
He's been after my life the whole week to make him DORA CAKES. And I forgot I promised him those on Saturday.

But kids don't forget the promises you made them easily.. 😈
In the morning, I heard some whispering in my ear..DORA CAKES. I thought I was dreaming. But I kept hearing Dora cakes. Irritated I half opened my eyes and checked the time. 6 am!!!! WTF (i screamed inside). Told him to go back to sleep. 🙆
8am: "Mumma Dora cakes!" And then it struck me that I promised him Dora cakes on Saturday. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Still I was in no mood to get up. He kept on jumping in the room, on the bed, waiting patiently for me to wake up and make him Dora cakes. Yes, he's a good kid that ways!! 😄

I woke up at 9 am and started the work around 9.30. All throughout, he was in the kitchen with me watching the whole process. Obviously, super excited!!
At last, when I served him the cake, the look on his face made my heart melt. He gave a peck on my cheek thanking me and suddenly, it all seemed worth it.

And we all had DORA CAKES for breakfast 😄

Dora cake or Doriyaki is a Japanese style sweet super fluffy pancake, stuffed with something sweet like jam, nutella or chocolate spread.

Instead of Nutella, I made the chocolate spread for it at home with Unsweetened Cocoa powder, some Dark chocolate and butter. And substituted half of refined flour with wholewheat flour. 😊
Well, that's just me. You can choose to do otherwise 😄

This was a sort of Chicken 65 @ Monsoon Bar, Hyderabad Airport. Yoghurt marinated, quite tangy, relatively low on red chillies and other spices. But yes, was quite handy for a quick grab before catching a late evening flight back to Delhi. #MagicofFlavours

#SaturdayBreakfast from #MyKitchen was this #Homemade Veggie Daliya. Good to look at and Great in taste to enjoy.
