When running out of options of what to feed my family, chicken parm always comes into my mind. The crispy, succulent chicken breast with so much melty cheezyness! This dish is one of the most loved by my family.

Chicken parm is so easy to make,looks gourmet on the plate, and is a big hit with both kids and adults. Serve it with sides of your favourite dish.

Basque Burnt Cheese Cake

       BASQUE BURNT CHEESECAKE  It is a no crust cheesecake with a rustic appearance. A soft gooey centre and not overly sweet with a hint of burnt caremal from the burnished top. This cheesecake is truly something to love.  TIPS TO BAKE BASQUE BURNT CHEESE CAKE : Make sure all ingredients are in room temperature. It ensures a smooth mixture. : Time and temperature are the most important parts of this recipe. I'm using a 6-inch cake pan. In my convection oven, I bake it at 200c for 40 minutes. (But time may vary depending on your oven). You should not bake the cake longer then indicated, even if it looks a bit wobbly in the centre. If you leave in the oven too long it will result a curdle cheesecake texture. Even though you want the cake to look dark, you don't want it to burn. If it gets too dark fast while baking, cover with aluminum foil. Should you find that your cake is almost close to baking but hasn't taken on the colour you like. What you can do is turn on the grill

 CHICKEN TIKKA BUTTER MASALA A creamy yet mildly spiced chicken dish that gives an irresistible aroma. Rich and creamy with bites of chicken . This is what call pure pleasure. Some notes on making Chicken Tikka Butter Masala - I'm using skinless chicken breast for this recipe. The chicken is marinated for at least 1 hour or overnight for better result. This give the yogart time to tenderize them, building a better result when cooking over high heat. You can use chicken thigh instead if you wish. Go with what you like. - This is a simplified recipe adapted for home use and is made without using a tandoor oven. I'm using regular non stick pan over high heat to sear the chicken. Avoid over crowding the pan helps char ( not burn) the chicken pieces instead of simmering in juices. Chicken pieces should be golden brown and slightly dark brown on the edges. - This recipe normally requires kasoori methi (dry fenugreek leaves) . It is added to the dish a very small amount. The earthy fl

Sushi Rolls

How To Make Sushi Rolls Hi guys!! For todays recipe I'll be showing you hot to make sushi rolls. Sushi is a traditional Japanese dish made with dried seaweed and cooked rice rolled with your selections of fillings. My daughter's favourite dish is sushi. Recently she's been bugging me almost every day to make sushi. At first this task was quite daunting to me. I had seen the chefs at the Japanese restaurants make sushi when we went out for dinner . It seemed so complicated and precise. How was I supposed to replicate that? So I did a little research and to my immense relief .. you dont need much to make sushi. Sure you need a few essentials like a bamboo mat and seaweed but the fillings are customisable leaving you with an endless array of options. It's also a great activity to do with your kids! Since it's the quarantine period I was a little worried on where I was going to get my ingredients. Lucky for me almost everything I needed was available online. So my daugh
