GMT: Mattar wala samosa

by

I love samosas. Baked, fried. With potato filling or a non-vegetarian filling. From the market or made at home. I love them all. Any time. Any place. Any company.

Ever since I mastered the art of using spring roll wrappers, I thought of other ways to use them.

We have a packet of Deep chana dal cocktail samosas that I love. I prefer making stuff from scratch, but now and then I cheat here and there and Deep’s samosas are ones that I cheat with quite often. From the looks of it, Deep brand uses spring roll wrappers as the covering for their cocktail samosas. I was intrigued to try making my own cocktail samosa from spring roll wrappers too.

DIY craft: Diaper Motorcycle & Diaper Baby Carriage

by

These are the cutest things you could make and give to a new mommy to be as her baby shower gift.

Every mom needs diapers (the rate at which babies poop, every mom needs plenty of diapers!), so you know it would be a much needed and useful gift. But if you take a little time out and get together a few other baby items, you can put together a really sweet and thoughtful baby shower gift.

Saturday, we threw a couple baby shower for one of our Indian friends who is expecting a little baby girl. It was supposed to be a surprise for her husband and her and am glad we managed to pull it off as such.

I remember seeing a motorcycle diaper cake on pinterest (or was it craftgawker;I forget where I saw it, either way both are such inspiring sites!). And I thought it was the cutest thing ever.

Streusel filled sour cream coffee cake cupcakes

by

We have been talking too much savory around here on the blog. It’s time to get the sweet stuff out!

I saw this cake on Foodgawker (those sinners, corrupting the minds of us who are always struggling with our weight) and well, I just had to make the cake. Alison just describes it so well, that I knew the recipe had to be tested out.

But I didn’t want to make cake.

I wanted to make cupcakes.

Why?

Well, because they are just fun.

Fun to look at.

Fun to eat.

And fun to share!
