On a daily basis my usual preference would be for either a simple South Indian or North Indian dish or at times Indo-Chinese or Pasta.I usually love making an elaborate menu for friday dinners or for a weekend lunch.It was one such day a couple of weeks earlier when I wanted to make something elaborate and serve it in the restaurant style and I chose the theme as Mexican,however it turned out as half Indian Mexican and so I can call my meal as Indo-Mexican or a Fusion meal.
This meal can be even converted to a Mexican Sizzler by plating it on the sizzler plate.I will try posting some sizzler recipes in my blog sometime.The preparation of the entire meal is a bit time consuming but if you can plan ahead and do slight preparation it would make the job easy when you are planning the meal.Try this Indo Mexican meal and let me know if you like it.
Check out the closer view of the meal below where I have highlighted each dish separately
Few recipes make a mark in my mind and I try making them.Chipotle
style Burrito Bowl was one such dish.It is a combination of Cilantro-Lime rice with Pinto
or Black beans,Corn or meat,Guacamole,Salsa
and Sour cream which makes a complete set meal.But I could not make
the entire meal as I could'nt fetch all the ingredients when I planned making it.I have created my own set meal,though not exactly Mexican with
the ingredients which were available in my pantry.This meal can be rather
called as Indo-Mexican or just a Fusion meal.I have adapted few recipes and modified them
conveniently to suit our taste buds.But I intend to prepare that Burrito Bowl sometime and post it.
As I have posted most of the recipes in this meal,I am just linking all the recipes as follows.The meal consists of:
- Cilantro-lime Rice
- Stuffed Bell peppers with Corn and Cottage cheese filling
- Broccoli Patties
- Broccoli stir fry
- Potato wedges - used frozen ones,just sauteed them in oil
- Cucumber- Mint Yogurt dip
- Hot Bell pepper Sauce
