When I first Googled for Lucknow Cuisine, I was impressed with the variety and richness of the cuisine, but sadly, there were not enough links for the recipe's to show up to you all. But this Roundup, which is full of goodness, will be a bliss to your eye's and very use full to try on the recipe's.

I thank Lakshmi for giving me the chance to host the RCI-Lucknow and also My Heartfelt Thanks to each and every one, who have send me your entry with Love and Spirit.
Iam glad, that this event made few to try their first hand on Roomali Roti's. I personally enjoyed hosting the event, When my inbox, says You have Got a Mail, and Sharing few extra words with the blogger's, that really bonded me with many blogger friend's. Thanks for the Happiness!

Iam sorry, to post the roundup so late, as we went on a vaccation break and it took time for me to charge up here in my blog space. Now Let's move on to the Rich Roundup..

Paneer always delight me, with its chewy texture. as it get the juices in from the gravy part, its alway's my favourite. My craze to Paneer Butter Masala turned into these Chinese Style Chilli Paneer. I wanted to record this dish on my blog, and here you are..

Ingredients:

Paneer - 200 gms

Red Onion - 1 (Medium Size, Finely Chopped)

Ripe Tomato - 1 (Finley Chopped)

Green Chilli - 2 (Slitted Vertically)

Corriander Leaves- To Garnish

Spring Onions - To Garnish

Oil - 1 tbsp

Ginger-Garlic Paste- 1 tsp

Sauces:

Tomato Chilli Sauce- 1 tsp

Soya Sauce - 1 tsp

Chilli Sauce - 1 tsp

Method:

1. If your Paneer was refregirated, de-frost using your microwave or put in warm water for a minute and squeeze the water. [This is to make your Paneer Soft]. Cut the Paneer in small cube shape's and keep aside.

2. In a Pan, Heat the oil, and add Ginger-Garlic Paste, Chopped Onion's and fry them well, till they turn translucent. add tomatoes and Green Chilli's and mix well with the Onion.

3. Add the Paneer Cube's to Onion, Tomato and mix well. Add all the sauces mentioned and salt. Toss them well, till they get along with each other.

4. Now Garnish with Corriander Leave's and Spring Onion's.

Serve with Chapathi's or any Indian Flat Bread's.

The sauces were nicely absorbed by the Paneer, and it tasted so Good too, with the onion, tomato, chilli's. The Recipe is so simple and it need's very little oil. I have to try this with Tofu, to mak eit Low fat and a healthy dish.

Iam honoured to announce RCI-Pondicherry Cuisine, my native cuisine. Pondicherry, now renamed as Pudhucherry is a Union-Territory of India. Pudhucherry also known as "The French Riviera of the East". The official languages of Puducherry are Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and French. So its a Multi-Cultural State. Pondicherry is a mix of spirituality, heritage, along with the French influence. Buildings designed upon French Architect is still an attraction to the City. Clean Streets with Less Traffic is surely attractive here.

Places to Visit/Enjoy In Pondicherry:

1. Aurobindo Ashramam (a place for self-realisation)
2. AuroVille (a place to calm and feel urself)
3. Manakula Vinayagar Temple (for a spiritual experience)
4. Pondicherry Beach
5. Temple's in Villianur.


About Pondicherry Cuisine:

As the City is Multi-Cultural with Tamil People, Andhra People, Kerala People and French People, Food is also influenced by all the flavour's of the above mentioned culture's.

1. Indo-Franco Cuisine:
French Dish with Indian Touch, like French Sauce tempered with Mustard and Curry Leaves. or adding Thick Coconut Milk to the Sauce's. This is mostly blending the Indian and French Cuisine. But absolutely worthy..


2. French Cuisine:
French Break-Fast is more popular all over the world, with just Omlette, some fruits and vegetable's. Cheese is the major part of the cuisine.

3. Tamil, Andhra, Kerala Cuisine's:
The Touch of Tamil Cuisine will prevail across the state. Chettinaad Cuisine is so popular here.
Traditional Lunch served will certainly have Andhra and Kerala Cuisine's touch. But whatever may be the spice's are very subtle here.


Inspired ahh? Start Cooking for RCI-Pondicherry Cuisine and send across to me..



So Iam eagerly looking forward for your entries.
If you need any clarification’s on the above feel free to mail me glassofhoney(AT)gmail(dot)com or leave a comment below.

Its very Difficult to Google Search for Indo-Franco Cuisine, You yourself have to infuse French Ingredients in Indian Dish or infuse Indian Spices in French Dish. If you find the above difficult, you can send me Tamil / Kerala / Andhra Special Dish.

Thank You DK for giving me a chance to host this delightfull A.W.E.D (A Worldly Epicurean's Delight) event.

Within two week's of starting blogging last year, i first aspired, to send my entry for Click event. i get fascinated every month, when the theme is announced.

I owe this Success to my hubby, as he always encourages me by telling, "urs is the best"..I never believed him, Whenever he says that. Thank You Dear for your Great Support!

==============================================================

This Week is going to be busy week for me, as Iam preparing for Two Event Announcements to publish by this week, and for the Roundup of RCI-Lucknow.
If you have not yet published your entry for RCI-Lucknow, Make it fast, event closes by today.

Today, I prepared these absolutely yummy, healthy salad for Lunch. It was finished, just like that. We both loved it. The original recipe call's for Lettuce. You can add Lettuce to make it more colourfull and healthier. To be Frank, I did not like the taste of Tofu in this salad. If it is fried and used, might have given a different texture, and nice crunchy taste. But healthiest things should be eaten without any hesitation.

If you wish, you could add powdered Pepper, to make it little spicy. Sugar will also be a nice get along ingredient for this salad.

I don't know, whether Vaishali, will accept this late entry, iam hoping she will excuse me and accept it.

Now this salad is boarding on for Vaishali's Its Vegan World-Mexican
Thank You Vaishali. This event really hooked me into salad's. I will be preparing more salad's from now on.

Reminder for RCI-Lucknow:

Just 6 more days for the event to get closed. so start sending in your entrie's. For more on Event Announcement and idea's, check here.
