Restaurant Style Tandoori Aloo

This is very easy restaurant-style aloo tandoori recipe without using tandoor, It has a smoky tandoor flavor. This aloo has amazing thin crust on top because of sugar and flour, but has very soft inside. Keep eye out when you broil aloo to keep them from burning. To give it a restaurant-style tandoori look, I used a tiny drop of red color. You can totally avoid it if you don't like the food color.

Lentil Risotto With Pomegranate Wine

Risotto is one of the famous Italian rice dish. It could be served as Primi or as main course. Risoto is usually accompanied with very pleasant aroma, flavor, and velvety texture. Usualy, risotto is made with dry white wine, but I used Pomegranate wine which gave this risotto a wonderful tangy flavor.
