   Chop the onion & tomato finely. once the oil is hot saute the onion till transparent. 
   add the green chillies & ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw smell goes away. Add the chopped tomatoes & the masala powders and mix it well.

Vegetable Cutlet

Today's evening time snack was Vegetable Cutlet. I added just carrot, beans and potato. But you can put your creativity and add as much types of vegetables you want. Its crunchy and crispy out but soft and spicy inside.

Spaghetti with Vegetables

This is my own version of making Spaghetti though my husband is not a big fan of it. I love to have it sometimes to have a break from the usual chapathi for dinner. You can add any vegetables you want to this. I have used the whole meal spaghetti here. You can replace it with any type.

Spaghetti with Pork

This is a guest post By my friend Nadia. In this recipe you can replace the ground pork with chicken mince or scrambled eggs or just go for the vegetarian version

Ingredients:

Spaghetti noodles (cook as per instruction in the packaging)

For spaghetti sauce

3 cloves garlic

1 medium onion

1 tomato

1/2 of green capsicum

Capsicum Dal

This is like normal dal but adding crunchy capsicum gives twist to the dal. When you are bored with your normal dal recipe, give this one a try. It goes very well with chapati or steamed rice or jeera pulao. The consistency is upto you but personally i like it a bit thick.
