Batata Vada Mumbai Style is a spicy potato based snack that goes as a patty for Vada Pav. Its spicy and delicious snack that can be had by itself along with green chutney, sweet chutney or tomato ketchup. Vada pav is like out Indian version of Veg burger. I first tried this snack during my college days at the chaat shop. They are quite filling and yummy at the same time. Its such a easy to put together and can be made so easily for an evening snack with ingredients from your pantry. I love how the spiciness from the vada goes well with the sweet tangy and hot chutney base. Do give it a try and you will love it.

Black Forest Cheesecake Cake | Birthday Cake Recipe for Husband

Black Forest Cheesecake Cake Recipe

Black Forest Cheesecake cake sound so fancy right. This what happens when my husband is gifted with a wife who is a food blogger ;-). Food blogging has made his expectations of me go soaring high, each year I bake two fancy cakes one for our anniversary and one for his birthday, so I get a little carried away planning what cake I need to bake for these occasions in our life. Last year I baked for him a Tiramisu Cake , this year I promise, it was a last minute affair I decided on this cake only 2 days before and got the ingredients and baked it all in one day. In fact I did the frosting of the cake only the next day morning that was his birthday. So for compensation he had to do a little cake modelling for me :P. I love taking risks in the kitchen, I did not have a springfoam pan and yet I pulled off doing a cheesecake recipe. All thanks to God for He always answers my prayer ;0). We both love black forest cake and off late have been die hard fans of cheesecake, so combined both and thought of this and voila I saw a recipe for this so went ahead without any second thoughts. We love dessert cakes too and this recipe is such a keeper, a really rich one so save and plan it for your special occasions. Lets move on to the recipe and its a long post alert...

Masal Pav Recipe

Masala Pav is a famous Mumbai street food which is the tastier version on Pav Bhaji. The Pav buns are dunk on a masala base of onions, tomato & capsicum on a hot tawa with spices and toasted with butter. With every bite you are sure to trans into a burst of flavors. Masala Pav is so easy to put together, you can make your own homemade pav buns / ladi pav or get the store bought ones. Make this for an evening snack along with chair or coke. A perfect appetizer if you are having guests over or organizing a party or potluck at home. I have used a little of the pav bhaji masala in this recipe for the base although there are variations where the pav bhaji masala is skipped, you can do it either way and the result would be awesome nevertheless. Serve masala pav with raw onions, corriander and a lemon wedge ;-) and be generous with butter as that adds the awesome flavor to masal pav.
