With Superbowl in sight, our Cooked in Translation team has chosen the perfect dish to try out this time!The theme of Cooked in Translation is to create your own adaptation of a recipe and that’s what makes this so exciting!!The recipe for today is CHICKEN WINGS chosen by our host Azlin Bloor of LinsFood!I’ve used Chicken Tenders or Goujons here because the hubby doesn’t like Chicken Wings with bones.I’m sure there are many people out there who prefer boneless wings like my husband does and why not, its more meaty and tastes absolutely delicious.

These make for the perfect little bites to enjoy while watching your favorite game and they couldn’t be easier, since they’re made in a skillet!The sauce is a sweet and spicy combination of honey and Sriracha with some toasted Cumin that gives it so much flavor and the lovely color.Talking about Sriracha, I have to admit I’m addicted to it and add it to everything I cook these days!But wait till you try this recipe, it all comes together on the stovetop and I serve these with a simple Greek Yoghurt Dip spiked with cayenne and cumin!Its hot, its sweet,its just perfect for any game night!

Its tailgating time!!

I learnt about ‘tailgating’ only after we moved to America!For those who do not know what it signifies ‘a tailgate party is a social event held on and around the open tailgate of a vehicle. Tailgating often involves consuming alcoholic beverages and grilling food. Tailgate parties usually occur in the parking lots, stadiums and arenas, before and occasionally after games and concerts.’ {Source-Wikipedia}.Having said that, you don’t really have to be at the game venues to enjoy a tailgating party.You can have it indoors or outdoors, with a group of friends or lounge on your own!Its a great way to enjoy some great foods that are easy to make and eat!Its the start of the football season and my friend Lane from Supper for a Steal  proposed ‘tailgating foods’ for this Sunday Supper!

I’m bringing Chicken Meatballs for this event that has just the right flavors with an Indian twist!My meatballs are moist, juicy, perfectly sized to munch-on while watching your favorite team play!These balls are crunchy and rustic looking on the outside but incredibly soft on the inside with the lovely mint and coriander marrying beautifully giving them lots of fresh flavor.The best thing about these are that the food processor does all the work for you so you don’t have to work out a sweat in preparing them 🙂 They’re super easy, delicious and certain to please kids and adults 🙂

Indian Spiced Roast Salmon 4

We love Salmon and I’m constantly experimenting with different ways to cook it.This recipe came about as a result of being time-constrained (aren’t we all!) and in-between kids’ activities and we loved it!The Salmon is perfectly coated in all those delicious spices and it comes on the table in no time!I’ve served this as an appetizer too using cubed fish instead of the long fillets.Its always a hit with my guests and super simple to make.Enjoy!

Tofu Hariyali Kebabs (Tofu Kebabs in Cilantro Sauce) #SundaySupper

11 | 08 | 2013
By Soni Sinha

I’m so excited to be back for our Sunday Supper after a month!During my India holiday,my brother had made an itinerary for me even before I’d landed and that included tasting some of the best foods in and around Delhi!Aww he’s so sweet! 🙂

Needless to say we over indulged in all sorts of delicacies like the succulent Kebabs at The Kebab Factory,some more Kebabs and a tasty Awadhi Mutton Biryani from the Lucknow themed restaurant at Culture Gully,Kingdom of Dreams.Situated in Gurgaon,Culture Gully is THE place for foodies who want to try India’s diverse foods and flavors all under one roof and it has various themed restaurants and street bars, arts and crafts etc together with some beautiful architecture depicting each of the 14 States it represents!There is something for every palate from steamed dumplings in Sikkim to the spicy dishes in Kerala.You can see the chefs doing what they love the most and the aroma just makes you hungry! Its visually stunning and one of the best things that has come up in the last few years.I really enjoyed the food there and would recommend it to anyone visiting Delhi.

Next on our list were the famous Kathi Rolls at Nizams with the tasty Seekh Kebab wrapped around the soft Egg coated outer layer and it tasted amazing!

At home I enjoyed my Mom’s amazing Fish dishes especially the Pomfret marinated in aromatic spices and shallow fried, my sister-in-law’s tasty Fried Chicken that was crispy and golden on the outside but moist and juicy on the inside and the best dish of my trip,Dad’s famous Mutton with just the right balance of spices cooked for a good few hours with that deep dark color that’s irresistible.I’m telling you, its the best thing I ever ate.

Scrumptious and SPICY!!!When I learnt that ‘Spice it Up’ was our theme this Sunday Supper I couldn’t be happier since its what I love in my foods.I love it in savory and sweets.For this event I thought of using some inspiration from my holiday and create for you amazing Tofu Kebabs with Green Sauce or Cilantro sauce!I had a similar Kebab made with Chicken and it was delicious.You could use any meat,fish or Paneer for this preparation.’Hariyali’ means greenery in Hindi and since the cilantro sauce is green these kebabs have derived their name from it.

Tofu Hariyali Kebabs 1

The sauce is very simple and comes together in the food processor.The Tofu is coated with the sauce and cooked on a griddle pan.The left-over sauce is also served as a dip for the kebabs.The sauce gives so much flavor and also a lovely color to the Tofu.Sprinkle some Chat Masala at the end and you have one amazing starter that will be the star of any party!Enjoy 🙂

Notes:

Make sure the pan is well oiled and heated before placing the Tofu pieces.

Leave it for about 2 minutes before flipping gently from underneath.If it gets stuck just turn off the heat and leave it for some time.It should come off easily.Repeat the process on the other side.
