Pasta Sauce/Sugo

Tomato sauce for a Pasta or as they call it Sugo in Italian is a very famous and most commonly used sauce for Pasta. Here is a recipe with a little twist and my kids love it. You can use any Pasta or Spagetti, I mostly use the Farfalle or Fusilli.

Here is what you will need:

Ingredients:

- 1 can of Pelati, 400 gms can (peeled, canned tomatoes)
- 1 red capsicum, chopped
- 1 big onion, chopped
- 2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
- 1 hot red/green chili, chopped
- half an inch piece of ginger, grated
- salt to taste
- 5-6 pieces of black peppercorns
- 1/4 tsp of turmeric(according to choice, I love turmeric)
- 1 tsp of red chili flakes
- 1 tsp of oregano
- 3 tbsp of olive oil

Simple Veggie Sandwich

Who doesn't love a simple Sandwich! My girls are huge Sandwich fans and I am very happy for that because there are so many things different things you can put and make an interesting and healthy Sandwich, just get creative. I like to make mostly warm Sandwiches, sometimes with store bought bread and sometimes with my home made Focaccia.

Moong Daal

Moong Daal is one of the most commonly cooked Daals in the Indian homes. Here you will be able to see a little story of the good old green Moong and as they say, a picture says it better than a thousand words, so here you go:

Whole Moong 

Moong daal with husk on 

Yellow Moong daal 

    

So you see first we have the Moong in the first picture. Moong can be soaked overnight and cooked as a whole bean and also as Sprouts

In the middle picture we see the broken Moong but with the green husk on, and the third one is Dholi Moong Daal which is without the Husk and hence yellow in colour. The yellow Moong daal is the most poupular one in the north of India. 

So with one type of bean we can get four different kinds of Daals/lentils and even more because all of these can be made in flours too.  

Events

I organise private cooking events in German and English too. If you want to celebrate your birthday, if its a company event or just a get together. Do write to me and we can plan the event. I organise the Kitchen, groceries, place and the Recipes. You just have to show up with a good big appetite. Looking forward to hear from you.
