Ride to Lansdowne

I behave sometimes Lazy..Believe me,there are many trips that i want to share here.But … This travel story is all about one of the cleanest town in Uttrakhand. Simply you won’t hesitate to even lay down on it’s road to relax. This tiny cantonment town in Pauri Garhwal district is beautifully maintained .You are right where i learnt Garhwali Chicken that i had shared before. After i shifted to Delhi, this was our first bullet trip in North-India.We both were super excited to explore the hill stations that been always praised in photographs by many. 23rd May 2014, again with…

Vanilla bean Panna cotta

Panna Cotta , an Italian dessert which literally means cooked cream.Usually it’s served with fresh fruit compote or wild berries.The best part is that such delicious dish can be made so quickly with few ingredients in hand. Today i will discuss about the basic version of this dessert ,classic vanilla panna cotta with a hint of vanilla bean. I love to use vanilla bean instead of the vanilla essence. I have used gelatin here which can be replaced with a veg option of agar-agar. A perfect panna cotta should have just enough gelatin that it seems the cream is barely…

Shami kebab with Yogurt dip

People who love to eat are always the best people ~Julia Child~ The wait period when you know something cooking delicious in your kitchen makes you even more hungry !! That’s what i observed in my husband case 🙂 You start drooling literally when you being greeted with the fragrance of golden fried shami kebabs. Shami kebab is a popular snack in Pakistan which is traditionally made with beef.But beef can be replaced by chicken or lamb.I prefer my kebab with yogurt dip , the best condiment for me and very easy to prepare when your mind is in real…

Christmas Pie with Indian Twist

Christmas pie is sweet fruity flavor with minced meat in each bite.Yes i know its too early for Christmas but the winter has just started in Delhi. And for me the Christmas season has began .The sunbeams are welcome now 🙂 It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it. ~John Burroughs, “Winter Sunshine” Nature has many scenes to exhibit.Well the food habit changes for me with arrival of seasonal fruits and veggies in market.I always carve for smoky…

Haridwar / Devprayag

Haridwar / Devprayag Trip

Haridwar or Ganga-dwar is one of the holiest places for Hindus where thousand of pilgrims come and take bath in the sacred water of Ganges. When i saw the beauty of Ganga at Devprayag ,i was simply spellbound.The clean water and the purity of water that one can feel when you drink it ..!! But sadly its no more clean at Haridwar Ghats.Yes , you are there to take bath in the sacred water but it doesn’t mean to make the water pollute by washing clothes etc etc..Sprinkle few drops instead of doing a full body spa and do right…

Rishikesh

Again a last minute plan well executed by us ,me and my partner Dev .As a pillion on our Royal Enfield , I always enjoy the rides by my husband. Many times we had been asked that “Don’t you feel scared of travelling alone ? ” And we always say a big NO .Yes i do agree there is a chance when your engine fails that happened in this trip but you know where ?? The moment we reached back our parking space at Delhi ,the engine drained out all burnt engine oil ..Thank god ,that’s what we both shouted…

Chicken in Rosemary-Orange Sauce

Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet. ~Roger Miller~ This was the moment i was waiting for..the fresh breeze ,the black clouds changing the color of the sky!! Oh!! I am in love with rain since my birth,may be the reason behind is , i born in a rainy day 😉 Exactly i couldn’t find how the glimpse of rain drops make me so cheerful emotionally.

Garhwali Style Chicken Curry

To escape from Delhi heat we planned weekend break to Lansdowne ,a small cleaned town in Uttrakhand .A place to enjoy the nature with delicious food 🙂 The traditional cuisine there are simple to prepare and at the same time appealing to the palate. After the morning delicious breakfast ,I asked the cook to prepare something traditional.It was friday and crowd was little less.As soon as he agreed ,i put another condition.Guess What?? I wanted to cook myself with his help .He agreed to that 🙂 !! It was quite enjoyable for me to cook on holiday and the result…

Monsoon Ride to Nainital-Mukteshwar

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby. ~Langston Hughes~ It is said to be end of tourist season when monsoon arrives.To my belief Monsoon ride has its own charm,the best way to enjoy nature in its cleanest and purest form. Friday ,11th July 2014 we started around 7 AM from Indirapuram two hour behind our scheduled plan 😉
