The key ingredients, which endow this South Indian Stir-Fry Rice with such irresistibility, are sesame seeds and peanuts.

The all-time favourite hot and sour soup makes a stunning comeback, in an even healthier form! The beauty of this soup is not just in the method of making it but also in the way it is served. The flavours of lemon grass and coriander should be extracted well by boiling them; lemon grass is very specific to thai cooking and imparts its refreshing flavour to the dish. Pouring hot soup over the spring onions, carrots and coriander helps release their flavours besides cooking them slightly. Keep in mind that seasoning cubes already contain salt. Therefore, extra salt should be added finally, and only if required.

The true highlight of this dish is the paste that is made using red chillies, onions and other well-chosen ingredients. You can make it fresh for a better taste; or to save time, you can make it in bulk and deep-freeze to use as and when required. Healthy ingredients like tofu, mushroom and other veggies enhance this recipe’s health quotient while a basket of creatively-combined ingredients make it a delight for the taste-buds. If you do not like tofu, you can replace it with low fat paneer. Thai cooking is incomplete without coconut milk but as a matter of fact it is high in fat; I have therefore restricted its use to ½ cup as compared to the original recipe that calls for almost 3 times more. Another key ingredient in Thai cooking is lemon grass, which can be used liberally without any fear of calories… this is the secret behind the refreshing touch of most Thai recipes.

Noodles with tomato and cheese sauce is a typical party serving, wherein cooked pasta is served with a choice of two sauces, one tangy and one creamy. Guests are offered a choice of picking between the sauces, as per their taste. While both sauces and the pasta are easy to prepare, i suggest spending a little time on a nice, attractive serving style.
