I'd like to request a nice and easy Cheese Macaroni recipe please!
I'm not much of a cook, but I used to make this simple layered chocolate biscuit "cake". No need to bake. Just mix stuff and cool in fridge 😛 I'll try to recall the recipe next time.

So I'll better wait for the expert recipes. And yes, I am specially interested in fruit salad. 😁

😁 ... Well, here is something for fellow Maggi fans who want to add a little more taste to it...
Ingredients:
1. A Maggie noodles packet.
2. A small/medium garlic pod
3. Two small/medium chillies (One if its monstrously big or dark green in color).
4. 7 curry leaves, you can take 8 too, I'm not picky 😛
5. 3 table spoons of oil.
6. Salt to taste
Split the chillies into two along its length and squish the garlic pod. Add the oil, chillies, garlic and curry leaves, wait till the garlic begins to turn brown, then add the water. add the taste maker (the silver maggie noodle taste maker which is in the noodles packet), add some salt (about 1/5 of a tea-spoon), then put in the noodles, and make them as you normally do.
I doubt adding garlic, chillies and curry leaves makes this nutritious 😛 . Then again, nutrition and taste are inversely proportional :evil:
I'll add the Cheese Macoroni recipe later today...

You are welcome. But, Kebabs are supposed to be full of meat. Are you sure about using Tofu. But mind you, you won't get that taste.
There are 1500 varieties of kebabs and they are eaten from Greece till India. Because they are easy to carry and don't get spoiled easily, soldiers used to take Kebabs with them in war as rations.

yes I know, however being a vegetarian it is doubtful mine will be full of any meat. =) I've grilled tofu on kebabs with veiggies and that was good so I bet your recipe will be really good as well.

2.gratedt coconut

4.honey
5.oil

I don't like coconut in dishes. May be it is because of the cultural difference. We never use coconut or its products while cooking up here in the north.
I think I would use minced pork or mutton instead of grated coconut.

On an *industrial* note, I believe Idlis are the only food items that can be mass produced. ☕
Getting a good idli in restaurants outside South India is very difficult. I like the idli of Madras Cafe in Mumbai.
The sour taste of the idli should be just right to make the idli eating an enjoyable experience.
By the way an Idli is one of the healthiest snack one can have in restaurants.
