Homemade Italian Food – A delicious challenge

Homemade Italian Food
Homemade Italian Food is something that I took up as a challenge.

I survived on homemade Italian food, for a full 24 hours. It was probably the greatest food challenge I could give myself. And of course I captured it all on video. Check out my homemade Italian Food challenge vlog below!

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

In this video I make Italian food at home. For someone who has never made a proper pizza from scratch, this is kind of a big deal! And I did refer to a lot of Youtube videos for being able to find the right recipes. For this video I made an Italian tomato sauce, which I used for pasta as well as Pizza.

I also made Tiramisu with back up ingredients. So this is a Tiramisu without any Mascarpone Cheese, Ladyfinger biscuits, eggs or liqueur.

Homemade Italian Food

I also tried to find out a few nuances of Italian culture – especially their breakfast patterns. And I found that they actually indulge in light breakfasts – some coffee (or tea / juice) and something sweet. It can be a Brioche (popularly known as Croissant) or a pastry or a simple cake (the ones without icing). They also indulge in Jam or preserve on toast. Nutella is also an Italian discovery and breakfast staple so that is what I picked for my Italian breakfast.

Homemade Italian Food

Overall, this was a great day for me. I ended up enjoying the best food I could possibly make.

I also did another challenge video where I indulged in IDLIS all day. Watch it below!

Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies in a Pan

Make these delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies in a pan!

In this video, I’m sharing a recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Cookies, made without  an oven. Watch the video to understand how I made these in a pan.

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

Im making these with chocolate but if you prefer plain ones, then skip the cocoa altogether. Either way your going to need peanut butter, Using about half a cup of it here. then we have a quarter cup of cocoa powder. a spoon of vanilla extract. a heaped table spoon of regular butter, one and half cup of whole wheat flour, half a cup of powdered sugar and a tea spoon of baking soda and 3/4th cup of milk. and here we have all the ingredients ready. you can even replace the whole wheat flour with maida here. so first throwing in the butter. and the sugar next. and mixing these two. it helps if the butter is a little softened already. And I’m using Amul butter. if you can then use unsalted or you can even use ghee. and now this is mixed and ill be adding the peanut butter in. And now mixing it as well. Once this is mixed in nicely im adding the  vanilla extract and mixing it well. And then goes in the flour and the cocoa powder. And also the baking soda and mix all these together. Then add milk and finally i go in with my hands and this is the dough here ready . Then this goes in the fridge for about 20 minutes. and in the meantime, preheat the pan so this is a nonstick pan and im brushing it with oil and using a wrapping paper and lining it – you can use butter paper or parchment paper. And putting the lid of and letting this heat up on a low flame for about 15 minutes. Now the cookies can be rolled into these balls and flattened slightly. I’m not making these too big since i want them to get cooked evenly. and then we just place them in the pan. I’m also topping them with some chocolate chunks- this is just chopped up dark chocolate. These get ready in about 20-25 minutes.

Then take coffee, cocoa and cinnamon and add some hot water and make it into a liquid consistency and add this to the sugar and oil mixture. Then sieve maida and baking powder together and add it to the sugar, coffee and oil mixture. And finally add the yoghurt mixture in as well.

Kaju Paneer Masala Recipe with Butter Naan

Kaju Paneer Masala recipe
Kaju Paneer Masala recipe to fulfil your restaurant food cravings!

Here’s a delicious Kaju Paneer Masala Recipe for when you are craving restaurant style food at home. Its simple, and turns out delicious! Watch the video for the recipe:

Subscribe to my Youtube channel here

Do check the video for the recipe for Kaju Paneer Masala Makhani and also a recipe for butter naan. This is a recipe shared by one of you – i asked you guys a while back to fill in the form for my secret project and this is what came out of it! So i decided to call this series YOUR SECRET RECIPE and every week i will be featuring some of your dishes, cooking hacks and more. This week we have Priyanka Patel all the way from London who has shared her recipe of Kaju Paneer Masala Makhani and a few very interesting things in the recipe which are quite different from the way we would normally make this dish.

This recipe of Kaju Paneer Makhani is different in many aspects. Firstly roasted tomatoes have been used in the tomato gravy. And this would lend an inherent smoky flavor to this dish. Second is the use of caramelised onion paste and this would add a very juicy sweet flavor to the dish. Also the use of honey would add a lingering sweetness and a beautiful glaze. Along with the use of saffron, for a rich deep orange color.

You will also find a recipe for Butter Naan in the above video. Its a simple step by step process to make restaurant style charred crisp Butter naan at home.

Hope this recipe for Kaju Paneer Makhani is helpful. You can check more Indian recipes below:
