Malai Kofta/ Fried Cottage Cheese Balls in a Creamy Gravy

And finally my 100th post. It has taken me a long time to reach here but the journey sure was thrilling.

There is an ongoing myth that vegetarian menus cannot be as extravagant and lavish as the non-vegetarian menus; and I do call it a myth. There are a myriad of options that can be dished out as exuberantly as its non-vegetarian counterparts.;and the first dish that comes to my mind is the Malai Kofta. 

Pastel de Tres Leches with Dulce de Leche

Another Mexican favourite today and it is a dessert cake; Pastel de Tres Leches ( pronounced pahstayl de tray laychays ) means Cake in Three Milks.

Heuvos Rancheros/ Mexican Rancher's Eggs

Heuvos Rancheros is a popular Mexican breakfast and simply means Rancher's Eggs. The dish consists of eggs fried in rancher's sauce served with tortilla, frijoles refritos, avocado or guacamole and sometimes Mexican-style rice and is usually served in farms in Mexico more as a brunch than a breakfast. So this was our weekend breakfast and a spicy, filling way to gobble up a heavy breakfast instead of the "boring" Big Breakfast! (Look who's talking!)

Frijoles Refritos/ Mexican Refried Beans

Frijoles Refritos is a Mexican dish cooked and mashed beans which is an indispensable part of Mexican cuisine. It can be served for breakfast with eggs and tortillas, for lunch and dinner with quesadillas, enchilados, burritos or as a dip with plain tortillas or corn chips. It is also a primary ingredient in some dished like tostadas and chimichangas.

The cheats' cake is what I call it - Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It is the most easiest and foolproof cake ever; yet, the cake is very moist, dense and delicious. It is perfect as a celebration cake or a slice cake to share with your friends over coffee. Packed with carrots and walnuts, it is also a nutritious cake that your family will fall in love with.
