Gongura Potato

 A simple and green color side dish made with potatoes and red sorrel leaves. In this recipe the potatoes are simmered and sauteed in red sorrel leaves puree along with some spices. I always try to incorporate greens in my recipe, that's how i came with this idea. Today i bought red sorrel leaves and decided to cook along with potato. I chose potato because of its versatility. The sorrel leaves have a lemony tangy flavour and goes well with potato. I love eating this with curd rice. Try this healthy recipe, sure you will like it.

Basic Cookie recipe / Easy and Simple Chocolate Cookies

Rachel Allen is popular TV Chef and author of best selling cookbooks. I recently rented her Rachel Allen 'Bake' cookbook. This book was very well written, easy to read and easy to make recipes.Also this book includes beautiful food photographs and step by step instructions for some of the recipes. I really enjoyed reading her book and tried some recipes from this book. One of the recipe i tried is her basic cookie recipe. She have  mentioned many variations to the cookie recipe like adding poppy seeds,mixed spice, chocolate chips, cardamom powder, dried fruits etc. Her basic cookie recipe is a great basis for many great flavourful combinations.I tried the variation of adding only coco powder to the basic cookie recipe. And it just came out perfect, crunchy and yummy on my first try itself. Here is the recipe.
