Spaghetti with Kidney beans

I have begun full-time work very recently and need to come up with innovative one-pot meals that totally save me time :-) So guess what I made!! It's a strange combo but trust me when I say that it was finger-lickin delicious ! :-)

Ingredients:
Kidney beans [quantity as per your choice] - soaked overnight and pressure-cooked
Spaghetti - cooked al-dente
Onion - 1, chopped finely


Cook the kidney beans [rajma] as you would, in the normal style using tomatoes, onions and garlic etc. Adjust salt and seasoning as per taste. Add a bit of cream to get the texture nice and smooth.

Cook the spaghetti al dente and set aside



Toss the two together and add grated cheese if you want. I didn't add it though.
Happy Eating !! :)

Breakfast Special : Egg Bhurjee



We had an eggalicious weekend!! :):) Hubby and I just L.O.V.E our eggie breakfasts on weekends - so I decided to make a bhurjee [scrambled eggs but desi style]

You will need :
3 eggs - nicely beaten
1 small onion and tomato - diced
1 green chilly

Get the ingredients chopped and ready. Meanwhile whisk the eggs in a bowl and set aside.


Toss the onions in a bit of oil and saute well. Add tomato and the chilly

I do not know what is the traditional way to make it. But this is what I usually do - scrape the onion mixture to the side of your wok and pour in the eggs on the other side. Let it form into an omelette and then break it up.

Add salt and half a tsp of garam masala
Garnish with coriander and serve with pav [Indian bread bun]
