Steps:
- Cut the clementines into quarters and squeeze their juice into a saucepan. Add the sugar, water and clementine flesh and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes. Pour into a strainer set over a measuring cup, pressing on the solids to remove as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids, cool the liquid to room temperature and pour into a pitcher. Add the cranberry juice, lime juice and vodka and stir well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Put 6 or 8 martini glasses in the freezer.
- To serve, pour the mixture into an ice-filled cocktail shaker and shake until very cold. Pour into the chilled martini glasses and garnish each with a clementine slice. Drink up and enjoy!
BLOOD ORANGE COSMOS
Steps:
- Combine the vodka, orange liqueur, blood orange juice and lime juice in a large pitcher. Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice, pour the cocktail mixture in, and shake for a full 30 seconds. Pour into chilled martini glasses, rub the rim of each glass with a blood orange peel and add as a garnish. Serve immediately.
OH MY GOD THESE ARE THE BEST POTATOES IN THE COSMOS!
These really are 'THE BEST' potatoes I've had in all these 23 long long years of my life! You have to try these sometime. This is a very easy side-dish to put together. You can serve it with white bread as well. You can pack it for a snack for yourself/a family member by spooning in some of this vegetable on a slice of bread and topping it with another slice. If you have a kid who loves potatoes(I'm thinking of the kid in me in my school days), then, spread a layer of the vegetable on a bread slice and put a layer of Heinz Tomato Ketchup over it and top it off with another slice of bread. You'll love it! I like food with minimal masalas(spices). This is one of my most prized recipes. When you do try these, think of me. We make these at home on the days we are fasting, we make these alot when we are potato crazy:-) I wish this recipe gets alot of good good reviews!!

Steps:
- Wash potatoes under plenty of running tap water.
- Peel them and then cut them into cubes of about an inch in size.
- Put'em in a large bowl and keep aside.
- Now, heat oil in a skillet on medium-high flame.
- When hot, put in the cumin seeds and allow to crackle for 15 seconds.
- Then, add the green chillies and the curry leaves (tear the curry leaves with your fingers before you add them to bring out the best flavour out of them).
- Saute lightly on low-medium flame.
- Now, gently fold in the potatoes and mix well.
- Allow to cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
- Add the turmeric powder and salt.
- Mix well.
- Allow to cook, uncovered, for 10 minutes on medium flame, mixing occasionally (every 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in water, then cover with a lid, and allow the potatoes to cook on medium flame till all the water has been absorbed by the potatoes and they are tender and cooked.
- Remember to stir the potatoes while they are cooking, every 5 minutes, to avoid them sticking to the bottom of the skillet (since it will be covered).
- It will take 20-25 minutes for the potatoes to cook.
- Remove from flame.
- Serve immediately (hot) with puris (recipe number: 44025) or with rotis or with rice and yogurt on the side.
- I JUST LOVE THIS, I HOPE YOU DO TOO!
POMEGRANATE COSMOS
Steps:
- Combine the vodka, orange liqueur, pomegranate juice, and lime juice in a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to use. Pour the mixture into frozen martini glasses with a twist of lime peel and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients. This will ensure that your dishes are packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't be afraid to experiment. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to cooking. Feel free to mix and match ingredients and flavors to create your own unique dishes.
- Keep your knives sharp. A sharp knife is essential for safe and efficient cooking. Make sure to sharpen your knives regularly.
- Mise en place. This French term means "to put in place." Before you start cooking, take a few minutes to gather all of the ingredients and equipment you will need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around.
- Season your food to taste. Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to your dishes. Taste your food as you cook and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Don't overcrowd your pans. When cooking meat or vegetables, make sure to give them enough space so that they can cook evenly.
- Don't overcook your food. Overcooked food is tough and chewy. Cook your food until it is just done, then remove it from the heat.
- Let your meat rest. After cooking meat, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing or serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. Don't just stick to one cooking method. Try grilling, roasting, baking, sautéing, and frying to create different flavors and textures.
- Have fun! Cooking should be enjoyable. Don't take it too seriously and let your creativity flow.
