Try Chicken, Vegitable & Noodle Soup at Home......

Cook the chicken: Crush two cloves of garlic. If the celery stalk has any leaves, cut them off. Put the garlic, celery leaves, and a chicken thigh into a pot. Cover with water. Bring to a boil and let bubble away for 20 minutes. If you are lucky, you might be able to see golden drops floating away in the water. What are those things? Fat? Oil? Whatever they are, they look delicious.
Prep the vegetables: This can be done while the chicken is cooking. To dice the celery, cut a single stalk into four pieces lengthwise. That means cut it in half, then cut those two pieces also in half. Gather the four lengths together and slice through all four at the same time, moving down the stalk and continue slicing until you have diced through it all. Now for the carrot. This is just my crazy way of cutting it into approximately equal pieces. Starting with the narrow end, slice the carrot into coin shaped pieces until you get halfway through. Cut the remaining carrot in half lengthwise, then continue slicing through, making half-moon shaped pieces. Peel and dice a potato if desired. Adding a potato is optional; they make the soup more filling.
Cook the vegetables: Take the chicken out of the pot and set aside to cool. Discard the garlic and celery leaves. Add the diced celery, carrot, and potato to the pot and let simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Cook the noodles: Add the envelope of Lipton Soup Secrets to the pot. Break up any clumps. The noodles will swirl around vigorously in the water. Cook for about five minutes.
Finish: While the noodles are cooking, you can shred or cut up the chicken into bite-size pieces. Five minutes after the noodles go in, you can add the petite peas if desired. Though initially frozen, they give a pop of freshness when you later chow down on them. Add the cooked chicken and turn off the heat after it all heats through.
·         1 chicken thigh
·         2 garlic cloves, crushed
·         1 celery stalk, including the leafy part if possible
·         1 carrot, peeled
·         4 cups of water
·         1 envelope Lipton Soup Secrets Noodle Soup with Real Chicken Broth
·         1 potato, peeled and diced (optional)
·         1/4 cup frozen petite peas (optional)
1. Cut off the top part of the celery. Put the celery leaves, garlic cloves, chicken thigh, and water in a pot. Heat to boiling and let it cook until the chicken is done, about 20 minutes.
2. While the chicken is cooking, dice the celery, carrot, and potato if using. Remove the cooked chicken and set aside to cool. Discard the garlic and celery leaves. Add the diced vegetables to the pot and let simmer 15-20 minutes.

3. Add the envelope of Lipton Soup Secrets and let the noodles cook for 5 minutes. In the meantime, dice the chicken. Add the petite peas and diced chicken to the soup, and heat through for just a few minutes.

Curd is then drained and excessive water is squeezed out of it, the resulting product is Paneer. To make your life much simple, you can go to any Indian grocery store and buy ready-made paneer.

Partially cover the pan for about 7-8 minutes occasionally stirring it. Add some water if the gravy is too thick. Add salt and a pinch of sugar. Add the sour cream,mix gently and add the paneer.

I have tried to Copy her potato salad, but I guess its care and preparation that makes hers stand out. I can come close to it because I have watched her make it many times and know the ingredients she uses. She hasn't made it in years due to her old age and can't remember exactly how she makes it sometimes, but I can come pretty close to her version with her advising me how to make it. Here, I am going to share with you our potato salad recipe.

2 stalks celery
1 small onion
½ green pepper
¼ cup sweet relish
½ cup miracle whip
½ cup mayonnaise
Half dozen hard-boiled eggs
2 Tbsp pimento
1 Tbsp mustard
Paprika
Salt and pepper

Peel the potatoes, dice them, and put into boiling salted water. In another pot put eggs in the pot and cover with water. Add salt to the water because it's supposed to help peel the eggs better. Cook potatoes until you can insert a fork but not falling apart. Drain the potatoes and put in a bowl and set in the refrigerator to cool. Meanwhile chop your onion, celery and green pepper. After your potatoes have cooled add the chopped vegetables to the bowl. Run cold water over the hard-boiled eggs to cool them off and remove the shells. Chop half of the eggs and add to bowl. Salt and pepper the mixture. Then add the mayonnaise, miracle whip and mustard along with the sweet relish. Mix all the ingredients together. If it needs more salad dressing, add more to it as needed. Slice the rest of the hard-boiled eggs and layer them on top of the salad. Sprinkle the salad with paprika cover and refrigerate.

5 Tips for Cooking Deep Fried Foods

Deep fried foods won't be heavy and greasy if cooked properly. The hot oil boils the water that is in the food and cooks it while making it crunchy on the outside. If the oil is kept at the proper temperature during cooking and the food isn't left in the oil for too long, no oil will be absorbed into the food.

No matter what foods you are going to cook, make sure they are dry. Pat with paper towels, and then some foods may be dipped in flour or bread crumbs. If you don't do this, when water meets with hot oil it can cause bubbling and splattering that sometimes causes a fire. Always keep water away from hot oil, and never try to put out a fire with it.
Oils with low burning points will start to smoke and will burn the food if not taken off the heat immediately. Peanut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, and canola oil are some good choices. Never use butter or olive oil, as they will burn quickly.
Choose a deep, very heavy skillet or pot to fry with. Add oil to the cold pan, leaving at least two inches at the top. You might like to leave more space to be sure the oil doesn't bubble over when food is added. Use tongs to carefully place food in pan - never let it drop into the hot oil.
Heat the oil from 350 to 375 degrees F, and keep it there during the time of cooking. The easiest way is to use a deep fat frying thermometer, or drop a 1" cube of white bread into the oil. If it browns in 60 seconds it is an indication that the oil temperature is about 365 degrees F.
Carefully add the food, leaving lots of space around each piece so the food will cook evenly. The food must be surrounded by bubbling oil. If there is too much food the temperature of the fat will suddenly get colder and the food will get greasy and soggy.

If you follow these easy steps you'll make delicious and safe deep fried foods. There are a lot of recipes on the Internet for making deep fried ice cream (honestly).

How to Make Perfect Muffins !!

Before making the dough, be sure all the ingredients are at room temperature. This insures that all the ingredients mix together evenly.


The number one rule when making muffins is not to over mix the batter, which changes the texture and can keep them from rising the way they should. It also can make them dry and not soft the way you want them to be. The best way to prevent this is to mix the dry and wet ingredients in separate bowls, and then gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just enough so everything is moist. This should only take a few seconds. One way to be sure it blends together without too much mixing is to make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients into it, mixing as little as possible. Don't try to get rid of small lumps - they are normal.
Now is the time to add almost anything you want to give your muffins a special flavor, both sweet and savory. Cut up canned fruits into the wet ingredients, or add diced bacon, chocolate chips, nuts, or cut up fresh fruits after stirring the wet and dry ingredients together. One more gentle stir and the batter is ready.

Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray and put liners in the cups. Spraying the whole top pf the pan will make it easier to get the muffins out if there is any spillage. Place the rack in the middle of the oven. It's usually best to fill the cups just two-thirds full unless you want to make them larger. If you do, you may not have enough batter to fill all the cups. Be sure to put a small amount of water in the empty cups so the pan doesn't burn and keep the muffins from cooking evenly. Another trick that makes for the best distribution of heat is to leave the cups in the middle of the pan empty when you are not filling all of them. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before you take them out of the pan.

They will stay fresh at room temperature up to three days, or in the refrigerator for a week, if they are kept in an airtight container. After that they can be frozen in plastic freezer wrap for up to three months.
