Side Dishes – Butter Over Bae

Side Dishes

Every good food spread needs a side dish or side dishes!

I for one, go all out when I am throwing parties at my place or just preparing the weekend dinner. A good main course needs a buddy! A well laid out dinner or party menu has a couple of sides happening. It might be fried food, finger food, dips or some form of protein that compliments that Mains. Browse through this category to find fun ideas and awesome recipes for your sides selection. We have evergreen Asian

dips like Mint Chutney and unique ones like Asian Bruschetta dip. Or if you like, you can pair your Mains with fried food like Mac n Cheese fry. I have also put up healthy recipes for sides to chose from, like the Chicken and Oats kebabs or the Sweet and Sour Vegetable sticks. Go through the recipes and let us know what you like! I am always looking forward to hearing from you guys!

Bara hi koi ander se sukoon milta hai when I add a

Bara hi koi ander se sukoon milta hai when I add a small tick mark on recipe requests that have been pending. 😄 #chotichotikhushiyan. This chocolate icecream has been on my list since god knows when! Finally its up!

I am also going to put up a detailed blogpost later tonight complete with substitutes, tips, tricks and vegan options. Filhal ap stories pe video tutorial dekhen.

⬇️ Recipe for Chocolate Ice cream

✅ Ingredients
250 gms of dark chocolate
3/4 cup milk
550 ml of heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup Dutch processed Cocoa powder
1 tbsp instant coffee powder
1 cup chocolate shavings (optional)

✅Instructions
In a saucepan, prepare the chocolate milk for ganache. Add cocoa powder, milk, sugar, coffee, salt, and 1/3 cup of the total 550 ml of cream.
Let the mix simmer at medium low flame. Whisk it for 5 to 10 mins or until everything is dissolved. Pass the chocolate milk through a sieve just to be sure there are no lumps of any sort.
Put the chocolate milk back in the saucepan and reduce the flame to low. Add chocolate chips or chunks in the chocolate milk and allow them to melt
Simmer for 5 mins or until the chocolate is fully melted and you have a smooth chocolate ganache.
Turn off the flame and cover the chocolate ganache. Allow the ganache to come down to room temperature. THEN place it in the fridge for at least 4 to 5 hours to cool down.
After 4 to 5 hours, bring out the remaining whipping cream and whip it till your cream gets fully airy and fluffy.
Bring out chocolate ganache and fold it into the cream with a spatula. Leave a little ganache behind to use as chocolate topping later.
Pour the ice cream base into a container. Add leftover chocolate ganache in between layers or on the top.
Cover the container with cling wrap over the ice cream. Make sure the cling wrap sticks to the ice cream base. Then use a lid to cover it.
Freeze overnight.
Serve the next day with any toppings of your choice.

It is legit family favorite with subtle hits of tomato and mint. and Im gonna link the full recipe here. (Also vid tutorial running on stories rn!) Enjoy!

✅ Ingredients
Whole spices
3 bay leaves
1 large cinnamon stick
5 green cardamom (choti elaichi)
2 black cardamom (bari elaichi)
10 black peppercorns (saabit kali mirch)
5 cloves (long)
8 green chilies
1 tbsp Caraway seeds (shah zeera)
Masala
1 tbsp salt or to taste
1 tbsp garlic ginger paste
3 medium red onions sliced
2 small tomatoes chopped finely
3 cups fresh mint leaves (or 1 bunch)
other ingredients
1/2 kg long grain basmati rice
1/4 cup ghee
1/4 cup oil
1 cup Chicken stock (optional)

✅ Instructions
Make a green chili paste using 4 green chilies and some water in a blender
Wash rice with water once or twice. Soak in water for 20 mins.
Add ghee to a pot. Add all the whole spices with remaining 4 green chilies, sliced onions and all the mint leaves.
Stir with a spoon at medium flame till the onions turn light golden brown.
Turn off the flame and remove 3/4th of the onion, mint and green chili mix.
Add in a cup water immediately to the pot to avoid the remaining onions from burning.
Turn the stove back on at medium flame.
Add 1 chopped tomato, garlic ginger paste, green chili paste and chicken stock salt to the pot.
Cook for 5 minutes. Then add the soaked rice.
Add enough water to the pot so that water level is above rice by one part of your index finger.
Cover the pot and increase the flame to medium high.
Check after 5 to 8 mins to see the level of water in the pot. If you don't see any water in the pot, reduce the flame to low and add an insulator below the pot. Cook at medium flame for 5 mins and then reduce it and let it simmer for another 5 mins.
Remove lid and toss and turn the rice over gently with a flat spoon..
Check if the rice are done.
Dish the rice out and generously top it with chopped tomatoes and fried onions and mint.
Serve with raita, salad and a gravy of your choice

Eid mubarakkkk habibis! First bari eid away from f

Eid mubarakkkk habibis! First bari eid away from family this year. We had a small low key lunch today and even thoughhhhh I was fully organized and well prepared, here's what happened.

• I cut my index finger slightly on the joint of my predominant hand right before I could make the salad and ready the garnishes. So after that Anas stepped in, to do the deed. 🙈 tu jaisa taisa humne tossed salad banaya aur dam keeme pe kuch "garnish jaisa" barsaya

• forgot to wet my skewers before baking them and burnt the ends of the sticks.

• couldn't dish things out like i wanted to cz time restraints

• forgot to take final picture of the lotus dessert and kulfi to post later 🙄

aur 2nd grader ki finesse k sath lunch serve kia. But the food was good (if I should say so myself 🙈, the company was excellent, the laughs loud and the day super busy) so bottom linr is, I know a month from now, I'll only remember how on the eid table 10 grown up adults were arguing agar bakre main se 2 raan nikalti hai ya k 4. 🤦‍♀️

Eid mubarakkkkkk 😅 whats does the menu look like at your place?

Did you catch the making of these handi kebabs in the stories?? Its running rn fam 😍

Its a fool-proof perfect beginner level recipe for anyone who just started using raw papaya in recipes. Its very similar to bihari boti with different spice mix ratios.

Here's the basic recipe, a more detailed blogpost coming up on this later tonight! Happy Eid people!

Ingredients
1 kg boneless beef cut in 1/2 inch cubes
1 tbsp garlic ginger paste
3 tbsp lemon juice
220 gm onion raw or 70 gm fried
1 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
2 tsp red chili powder
1 1/2 tbsp roasted and crushed cumin seeds
1 1/2 tsp garam masala powder (all spice)
1/3 cup papaya paste
1 cup yogurt beaten
Other
coal for smoke
Lemon slices and onion slices for garnish
Instructions
Add the beef in a bowl and add all the spices and ingredients in the beef.
Marinade the beef well with all the ingredients and cover the bowl. Leave in the fridge overnight.
When you are ready to cook the beef, remove it from the fridge and let it sit in the kitchen for about 2 hours before starting cooking.
You can also smoke the beef at this point by adding a foil cupcake case in the beef, and adding hot coal in the foil. Drop a tablespoon of oil and cover the beef for 10 mins.
Remove the coal setup and transfer the beef into a pot or a handi. Let it cook at very low flame for 30 to 40 mins.
When you see oil separating on the sides of the pot, its ready.
Serve with raita and paratha, or rice and lentils.
