Oven Baked Chicken 65 【印度65号香辣鸡块】

Chicken 65 is a very tasty starter to go with beer, the original recipe called for deep frying and I am definitely not a big fan of deep frying especially during winter when the smell of cooking could linger for hours....

I made this batch using oven!

Chicken 65 为什么叫做 chicken 65，在印度有很多传说，最出名的一个就是这个食谱要65天的时间来准备，另外一个传说是这个食谱是1965年创造的，还有一个说法是1965年打战的时候印度士兵发明的一个简便食物。。

然而我个人觉得最可信的还是--这个食谱原来是兵营里食堂餐牌第65号的菜肴，因为很美味可口，所以大家点菜的时候就点chicken No.65，久而久之，就成了Chicken 65.

原配方是要加红色素和入锅油炸的，我加了红曲汁出来的颜色味道和在餐厅里吃的一样。

Rasgulla (Indian Sweet Cheese Ball)

Rasgulla is a very popular Indian sweet dish and not very often home made... as it require certain skill and.... luck in terms of making a perfect round and yet soft cheese ball...

Well sounded like it has all the challenges I am looking for!

Dry Channa Masala (Chole)

Channa （Chole）is one of our favorite legumes at home, I normally made this into curry to serve with Puri/poori. Once in a while, I like it as tasty spicy side dish, like this one.

It could be use as a starter too!

Vietnamese Style Spicy Lemongrass Paste 【香茅酱】

There is a very good Vietnamese restaurant near our house and their Lemongrass chicken is a must order every time we visited that place.

I have been wanting to make this same dish at home for a long time, and did not find a recipe to my liking, After reading like 2 dozens of recipes, I decided to come up with my own version!

Note: The Original recipe was created on 2/14/2011，revisited on 3/6/2016.

我们家附近有一家越南餐厅做的香茅鸡特别好吃，我一直很想要自己在家做一次，找了好些食谱都觉得跟我们喜欢的有点出入。今天趁着周末，我就自己研究了一番，做出比较满意的香茅酱。 今晚的晚饭就是香茅鸡啦！老公吃了两大盘呢！ 

注：原食谱于2011年2月14日创作，并于2016年3月6日重新整理。

Spicy Soy Bean Paste Steamed Tilapia 【酱蒸罗非鱼】

Tilapia fish has a slight muddy flavour, spices in this particular recipe could get the smell/flavour out, and make the fish super tasty!

Vegan Avocado Chocolate Cake

I stumbled upon this vegan recipe and could not stop thinking about how smart it is calling for Avocado as butter replacement. I just have to make this once. So I did. And manage to made it a diabetic friendly dessert!

Pig's Tail Black Bean Soup

Mum used to make this black bean soup at home, and all of us love the pig tail in it.. as it was well cooked and very soft... According to Chinese herbs and medicines, this soup is particularly good for men, on what? If you ask..

The answer is, please use your imagination!
