There are some people who inspire you, some motivate and some influence you. Siri is one such personality who does all three for me. As a fellow blogger, I am one of her biggest fans. Am sure many of us share the same thought. Thank you Siri for accepting to write this Guest Post and to  ”Be My Guest”.

 

Siri owns the website ”Cooking With Siri”. A software engineer by profession, she holds a full time job. We all understand how difficult it is to manage kids, job, home chores and blogging all together. Not only does she juggle between all these things, she is also an avid reader and a sound Food photographer. I love her pictures, they chant a lot of unspoken words. Currently she has taken a project ‘’Around the World in 24 books’’ for the year 2012. Well, quite a woman she is, is’nt she J

Siri started blogging in Aug 2007 and within just 4 years manages another blog simultaneously ‘’365 Days of Siri’’ (this was her Project 365 blog for year 2011). Now, she posts non-foodie and occasional photographs on it. In her own words ‘’ When I was going through a rough time in my life, food was something that made me feel better. If there was something to look forward to at that time, then that were my cooking experiments. It basically took my mind off the problems I was facing and embraced me with lots of love.’’ Well Siri, I guess that’s this like mind which brings us all together in this Blogging world J

One thing which really upraised my respect for this young Lady is her ‘’Fund Drive for Vaideshi Ashram’’ where she managed to collect more than a lakh Rupees with the support of fellow bloggers. Hats Off !!

When I asked her favourites from her blog posts, it was a hard one for her (ought to be J!!). She gave this recipe of Chile Relleno with home-made Tomato Sauce as her most loved one, her favourite cuisine being Mexican and Mediterranean. This recipe was featured in ”The Basics” as well. After Chile Releno, pita bread with hummus & olive oil w/ garlic is her favourite dish. My favourites from her blog goes to :


Savory French Breakfast Muffins
Chana Daal Wadi ki Kadhi 
Stuffed Eggplant
Baked Spinach Potato Corn Tikkis
Meatless Nargisi Kofte

Her message for the readers: ‘’ Eat your heart’s content. Experiment with different recipes, techniques and cuisines. Practice food photography. Stay Inspired Always.’’

I have bookmarked many of her recipes, and sincerely hope to have more in this en devour. Off to the Recipe now 🙂

Ingredients:
1/2 cup soya flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp white sesame seeds
1/2 tsp black sesame seeds
salt – to taste
1/2 tsp spices (optional- any one of them) – garam masala, cumin powder, coriander powder etc



Method:
1. Combine all the ingredients and knead into a firm dough using water as required. Keep aside for 10-15 mins.
2. Divide into 6-8 portions and roll out into a large thin circle.
3. Heat a non-stick pan and cook each circle over a low flame pressing from all sides with a cloth to make the khakras crist.

As Simple as that.!!
