Cheese Cream! Cheese Cream

My hunt is over. Making Cheese Cake at home is a dream and for that i need The CREAM CHEESE. Wow! Tarla Dalal actually rocks! Got my hands on a brilliant recipe http://www.tarladalal.com/Low-Fat-Cream-Cheese-3485r.
Thought of sharing it with you guys--

Ingredients-
1 ltr low fat milk
1 tsp citric acid
 1/2 cup warm water

The Bagel is on the list to make!

Boil the milk in a pan. Once it is boiled, keep it aside for a little while till it is slightly lukewarm. Take another bowl and add the citric crystals and water and mix it. Pour the mixture into the hot milk and let it stand for 5 minutes till the milk curdles on its own. stir if required. Strain this mixture using a muslin cloth and leave the whey in the curdled mixture. Blend the drained milk solids in a food processor till it is thick and Creamy. 

 

Now I am totally ready to make a cheese cake. Watch out for this space!

Till then Cheers! :)

Eating out in Mumbai!- Where to go?

If you are a hard core Mumbaikar and want to give a different taste to your taste buds, try and explore the best places to eat. I will try and list the 5 best places I have been. Will also specify what it specializes in:

1. If you want to have the best Pav Bhaaji in Mumbai, no one can beat Sardar Pav Bhaaji, Tardeo. Its the best Pav Bhaaji in Mumbai (Highly Recommended). The amount of butter on each Pav and on each portion of the Bhaaji is intimidating but very very appealing (Cal conscious people, dont even step there, u might faint!) But, a true Pav Bhaji fan needs to go there...

2. Total college hangout, my discovery of last year- Candies, Bandra. There are 2 outlets, but the Learner's Academy one it the best.. This is on Pali Hill naka... the other -near Lilavati Hospital. The food rocks! Especially the Lasagnes and the Rolls.. Me being a veggie would like 2 give a review only on the veggie section. But, I have heard the Non-veggie section to be great as well (Friends) The Drinks and Desserts and not to be missed. The Lemon Ice Tea- the best ive had in Mumbai! The best thing about this place- can spend any amount of time, without any disturbance...very good privacy, ample space, awesome food, great ambiance, economical ...what more we want????

3. Ovenfresh, Shivaji Park, Dadar. One of my favorite places in Mumbai to eat. A pure veggie restaurant, located near my Graduation College- D.G Ruparel and of course the heart of  Mumbai cricket- Shivaji park, Ovenfresh provides a variety of pure Italian and continental dishes. The best pizzas (very fresh, the best thin crust i have ever had!) best pastas-- amazing ones and also with different flavours (some unusual ones too!), perfect Sandwiches and Burgers, very good potato fries and cheese :) Real good drinks- Milkshakes (esp. the chocolate), Lime water, Ice Tea. Great desserts- The best Cheese cake I have had till date!!! Amazing!
The best pace to go for a date, a family Sunday lunch or a friends reunion!

4. Mani's Matunga- Authentic South Indian food! The Ambiance suits the food and one of the mindblowing idlies I have ever eaten in my life. Very economical, unlimited chutney and sambhar..one of the best hangouts for students from Ruia, Welingkars or Podar. I remember eating dosa- have not eaten a better one in Mumbai. I rate it as the best south indian snack hotel in Mumbai!

5. M.O.D - If you are in Mumbai for the past 2 years and have not heard about Mad Over Donuts, then sorry, you are not classified as a hardcore Mumbaikar. MOD is the best thing that has happened to the sweet toothies in Mumbai. Authentic American doughnuts ranging from the simple donut to great flavours like Double Trouble, Dark Night and manyyyy more. To have to eat to Believe it for sure. I rate it the best after food - dessert joint ever! Go to one right nowwww!!!

Go try these now :) Cheers!
