Rajma Tikki


World's shortest horror story?? DIETING.
Yeah, this would be definitely a horror story for a person who's foodie. Who can't pass a single day without tasty and tastebuds teasing food. Just like me. Due to pregnancy, laziness and lifestyle I gained too much weight in past two years. After realizing that I needed to shed many kilos to get back in former shape and for that I joined gym. After joining gym I realized that only exercise would do nothing, i also needed to go on a diet.

Being a foodie it was impossible for me to stay away from yummilicious and tasty food so I decided to give my diet food a tasty twist and here is one of them. Rajma Tikki.

The moment tikki word appears , the crispy, round, soft, loaded with chutneys, curd and onions and tomatoes, garnished with coriander Tikkis start dancing in front of our eyes.

To stop my craving for those tasty but full of unhealthy calories I made this Rajma Tikkis. So here goes the recipe.

Ingredients :
Rajma (kidney beans)- 1 cup
Onions- 1 cup finely chopped
Green chilli and ginger paste- 1/2 tablespoon each
Salt- as per taste
Chat Masala- as per taste.
Olive oil- 2-3 drops per tikki

Recipe:
Soak one cup Rajma overnight and pressure cook them till boiled.
Mash them with masher finely.
Squeeze out juice from chopped onions and add them to mashed Rajmas along with spices and chilli-ginger paste.
Give them shape of tikkis.
Take nonstick tava and put one drop oil and cook Tikkis.
Cover the tikkis with lid on medium flame.
Repeat on other side. Cook till light brownish on both side.
Serve hot with Onion laccha and also a cup of tea if desired.
Notes:
These tikkis won't be as moist as Aloo tikkis so it's advisable to consume them immediately.
Squeezing out the juice of Onions is necessary or else you won't be able to shape the tikkis.

She is Mardaani

मैं हूँ वो तोहफा ईश्वर का, जो जन्मा एक हड्डी के टुकड़े से. मैं हूँ वो ठंडी सी हवा, जो आँधी भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो छोटा सा ज़रना, जो बाढ़ भी बन सकता हे, मैं हूँ वो हलकी सी बौछार, जो अतिवृष्टि भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो बिखरने वाली लहर, जो सुनामी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो अबला नारी, जो जरुरत पड़ने पे मर्दानी भी बन सकती हे. From the moment God decided to create Eve from rib of Adam, He gave a kind of authority to Man , to rule and mistreat Woman. From the primitive age Woman is considered as the  weaker sex and always considered as a “Creature created by God to entertain, to serve, to please Man.” These few words represent the mentality of Man for Woman and throws light on the ‘dark corners of the stage, where woman cries, when away from stage’, applies extra make up to hide the wounds and to be called a fashionable Diva. Everything has got certain limitations in this world and whenever this limitation is crossed the unexpected happens. Same is the case with Wo...

Holi skincare tips with Cocodew Cold pressed Coconut Oil

Ask me which festival is my favourite and I will choose Holi over any festival. Colourful faces beaming with joy is everything to me.  After arrival of Jisha I took break from Holi for 2 years because of my fear of harmful chemicals affecting her delicate skin.  She loves Holi but I made her play with water and she would ask why can't we play with colours. So after bit of research and tricks last year I discovered one trick that would let us play Holi without fear of damaging our skin or hair. To play Holi without getting affected by harmful chemicals You need 2 things.  1. Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil. 2. Good Sunscreen Lotion. Market is flooded with various brands claiming to sell Cold pressed coconut oil but very few actually stand by their claim. Recently I got this Cold pressed coconut oil from brand named Cocodew.  Decided to use this for Jishu's skin and loved the way it made her skin softer and shinier. I have made it our routine to...
