Ingredients:
Chicken Drumsticks - 8
Oil preferably Olive Oil - 2 tbsp
Apple Cider Vinegar - 2 tbsp
Spicy Brown Mustard - 1 tbsp
Spanish Paprika or Chili Powder - 2 tsp
Cayenne Pepper - 1 1/2 tsp
Black Pepper Powder - 1 tsp
Garlic and Herb Seasoning - 1 1/2 tsp
Butter - 1 tbsp
Buffalo Wings Sauce - 2 tbsp
Orange Zest - 1 tsp
Salt

How to bake Buffalo style Chicken:
  • In a mixing bowl or a resealable plastic bag, add oil, vinegar, brown mustard, paprika (for color), cayenne pepper (for heat), black pepper, garlic and herb seasoning and salt. Mix all the ingredients well. I used chicken drumsticks with skin, discard the skin for lesser calories. Coat the chicken drumsticks in this marinade well. Let the chicken marinate for 4 - 5 hours or overnight. Get creative and feel free to add your favorite seasonings as well.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 degrees F. Use a baking tray with a mesh. Mix the chicken drumsticks again and place them on the mesh. Bake them uncovered for 30 - 40 minutes till chicken skin turns crisp.  
  • Buffalo Sauce: Microwave butter in a microwave safe bowl for about a minute. Add orange zest (grated orange peel) and Buffalo sauce to the melted butter. Mix well and coat the baked drumsticks well. Add more buffalo sauce and/or orange zest if you like.
  • Bake the chicken drumsticks at 375 degrees F for another 10 minutes. Enjoy hot spicy Chicken Drumsticks with lemon.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
