Step by step video instructions

Mushroom65_HNT

Mushrooms are battered with beaten egg and cornstarch, sautéed and cooked in a delicious 65 masala that is typically made with the popular Chicken 65. Suggestions to make a vegetarian/vegan version is included.

Chicken 65 is a very popular dish in India. With it’s strange name, it’s origins are debatable. Some people think that it was named for it’s 65 ingredients, other think the chicken had to be 65 days old. The story I choose to believe is the old British Canteen that simply had a typesetting boo boo and the name just stuck.

Basic Hummus

Click here for my step my step videoBasicHummus_H
I love hummus especially since I grew up in the Middle East. It’s so easy to make, so nutritious either as a snack or even as a spread. Can be made in minutes! If I’m throwing a party, 9 out of 10 times, I will likely have a large platter on my menu.
This is so versatile, once you’ve mastered the basic recipe(which will take all of 5 minutes), you can move on to some interesting variations – extra Garlic, Red Pepper, Herb or Olive.
