While everyone on the blogoshpere is celebrating Cinco De Mayo and posting recipes of delicious Mexican food, I could not resist making Mexican food myself this weekend. 

Dubai Trip 2012

One of the best things that happened to me after joining the blogosphere is winning the Sufi Master Chef Competition, where securing 1st position, I won a trip to Dubai. Here are few pictures from my trip :)

Masala Dosa. This was the very first time I had ever tasted Masala Dosa and boy did I fell in love with it instantly! It's a crepe made of rice batter served with mashed potatoes and a side of coconut chutney, lentil soup and coriander chutney. A must try for all who are not yet familiar to North Indian cuisine. 

One awesome trip I will never forget!

Hummus

If you are a resident of K-Town or if you have ever visited, you must be aware of the famous Bar be Que Tonight restaurants and their delicious hummus which is served with garlic naan as appetizer. 

Hummus is a dip spread and is basically of Middle Eastern origin, made of chick peas or garbanzo beans. This treat is so indulgent that I can never have enough of it and some times I end up filling up on this alone instead of having actual dinner.

A surprise lemonade

In my case, life gave me left over Lemon Sorbet but I still made a lemonade out of it.

Chicken Capsicum Cream with Butter Rice - 2nd prize winner recipe of Sufi's Master Chef

As promised to you earlier, here I am today, with the recipe which secured 2nd position in Sufi's Master Chef Competition. This recipe was submitted by Ms. Kiran Razzak and I must say this was one delicious dish!

Crustacean Garlic Noodles

There are some days when I crave carbs. Not just few, I want lots of them. 

And not just that, I want it to be slathered in butter .

Loaded with tons of roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese too.

And then I cannot stop my self from the blissful bites.. one after another..

Until I realize I have eaten two full servings all by my self and lunch time is still 2 hours away.. Oops!

Yesterday was just one of those days..

How to roast garlic?

I like garlic in pretty much all its forms but roasted garlic is one of my most favorite forms of garlic. Its easy to do and fun too. If you haven't tried it yet, take my words, you will love it!
