Caesar salad

Hi everyone!!
Today I'm sharing this salad recipe with you, which is very tasty yet healthy at the same time. In fact a healthy salad was requested from a long time and today i made it because I'm dieting myself! :P The dressing for this salad is eggless so that if anyone has issues using raw egg which is a usual ingredient in Caesar salad, he or she can also enjoy this salad without a danger of salmonella infection. Instead of anchovy paste, another regular, I used fish sauce because I wasn't able to get it here. Also usually and originally romaine lettuce is used and tastes the best but again I wasn't able to get it in any of the super stores so I had to use iceberg lettuce. For croutons the best bread that you can use is Italian bread but I have used normal white bread. Even with all these changes the salad was amazing thanks to the dressing! :D

INGREDIENTS FOR SALAD:

1. Romaine lettuce or iceberg if only romaine is unavailable.
2. 1 chicken breast (marinated with red chilli powder, salt, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, Cayenne pepper or paprika)
3. Italian bread or regular white bread.

INGREDIENTS FOR DRESSING:

1. 1 tsp mustard paste
2. 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
3. 1 medium-sized lemon juice
4. 1 clove of garlic finely minced
5. Pinch of salt
6. Pinch of black pepper
7. 3-4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
8. 2-3 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

INGREDIENTS FOR CROUTONS:

1. 2 white bread slices, edges trimmed
2. 2 tsp olive oil
3. 1/4th tsp of garlic paste
4. Pinch of salt

METHOD:

1. Pound the chicken and marinate it with the spices mentioned above.
2. Mix every thing mentioned in the dressing section accept the oil and Parmesan. Then beat the mixture manually or by machine, then while beating add a thin stream of oil gradually untill its well combined, then add Parmesan cheese to it.
3. In a pan add some olive oil and  garlic, then add your cubed bread and cook till crunchy and golden. You can also bake it for 10 minutes.
4. Now grill or cook your chicken.
5. In a dish add your torn lettuce, then pour your dressing.
6. Then add your chicken, cut into strips.
7. Make sure you add croutons just at the time of serving to avoid the sogginess.
8. Top up with more grated parmesan and serve immediately!

SERVES: 2-3

NOTE:  You can double or triple the recipe if you want! If you want to store it in the fridge you can do so but you'd have to make the croutons fresh every time.

COOKING TIME: 30 minutes

Nutella milkshake

Hi all!
I know it's been a while since i've posted because I wasn't in the mood to cook and I was acting lazy etc but finally today I was like let's go for it. 8 days ago I had a poll in which I asked about what do I post next? So instead of polling here you guys were snapchating me too. So the majority said Nutella milk shake and here it is!

Well for the best version of the milkshake do not use IceCubes instead place your milk in the freezer for half an hour. This way it will turn thick and chilled.

The best ice cream to go with nutella will obviously be vanilla or hazelnut or chocolate chip etc but I had none of these at hand so I used another flavor just because I had to post today but if I had to make this for any guests I'd go with the flavors I mentioned above.

Further this rich and sweet drink is not for everyday, its for once in a while indulgence. So let's dive right into this:

INGREDIENTS: 

1. 2-3 tablespoons of nutella ( you can add more depends on your liking)
2. 2 scoops of vanilla or hazelnut or chocolate chip ice cream
3. 2 tablespoons condensed milk
4. 250 ml of chilled milk

NOTE: If you don't have condensed milk make it at home by adding 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of sugar in a thick bottom pan and let the sugar dissolve on medium heat then simmer on low flame for further 30 minutes, not stirring it in between till the milk reduces and thickens. Store it in an airtight container in the fridge. 

METHOD:

1. Take the milk out of the freezer and pour it in your blender.
2. Add your ice cream, nutella and condensed milk too.
3. Now blend it well.
4. At this point taste you shake, if you find it too sweet add more milk, if you find it less sweet add more nutella. 
5. In your serving glass drizzle some nutella on the sides. 
6. Now pour your milk shake.
7. Serve immediately.

SERVES: 2 in small glasses, 1 in a large glass.
