Easiest Pasta Salad

2 cups cooked macaroni, drained, rinsed, cooled .. I cook it for 10-12 mins.
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery (Does not make a lot of difference)
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
pepper, to taste

Combine all macaroni salad recipe ingredients, using about 1/3 cup of mayonnaise and stir well. Add a little more mayonnaise, if necessary. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover and chill for several hours before serving.

Before you gulp it down, add few drops of olive oil which makes a lot of difference, However, even if you do not, its fine because my cooking is all about the things that you can make and relish without being too complicated

Its breakfast time - German potato pancakes

Looks can be deceptive. That’s what I thought when I made today's breakfast.
I always like heavy and fulfilling breakfast and did not want to spend too much time cooking. So I made German potatoes Pancakes
What is that 1st thing which comes to your mind when you think of pancakes

1)     Pretentious
2)  Never Heard of
I can vouch for that once you done cooking, those ideas will vanish from your head

What you need and I am sure you will have in the house
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour – Maida
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder – Even if you do not add, its fine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and shredded
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix in potatoes and onion.Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. 

By using a big kitchen spoon which looks like 
 Put the batter in the oil to fry
Make sure you Press to flatten. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until browned and crisp.
You can make this for your friends or guests when you have them over for breakfast… add some other fancy stuffs as side dishes and its all good


Would like to add that the picture of pancake is taken from Google as my camera battery died before I took a picture however that picture is the closest to what I made looks like
