Chicken Fajitas

DSC_0123

We enjoy “Tex-Mex” and “Chipotle” is our favorite “Mexican” food place. I tried “Tex-Mex” for the first time in the States about 11 years ago. It’s surprising that there aren’t many Mexican restaurants in India, considering how similar the cuisines are in their use of  beans, rice, cumin, and cilantro. In fact I often find my self using tortillas instead of “rotis” to serve with chicken curry or kebabs. This recipe is adapted from “Williams-Sonoma” stir fry cook book. I make a vegetarian version of this too, using mushrooms instead of chicken. I usually have all the ingredients in my fridge or pantry and best of all everyone at home loves it.  Ingredients: 3 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil . . . CLICK TO READ MORE

Pear Tatin

Pear Tatin- recipe by Ina Garten. Serves 6. I baked this cake for a friend’s wedding anniversary. It looks gorgeous and tastes amazing. I have baked it using plums, pears and apples. I can’t really say which one is my favorite because they all taste great! While baking this cake, you need to really keep an eye on the caramelisation of the sugar, it burns really quickly. Ingredients: 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus extra for greasing the dish 1 1/4  pears, peeled and slices into 12 pieces 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, divided 2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 1/3 cup sour cream 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 cup . . .
