For times when you want to indulge in the juicy, flavorful chicken strips tossed with vibrant peppers & onions, there’s a magical dish called Chicken Fajita. It’s all pan-seared in an irresistible Indian-spiced marinade, a true crowd-pleaser. Today, we’re using the SUNCASA Castella Frypan, celebrated for its affordable yet premium quality and healthy cooking.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 500g boneless chicken breast or thigh, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tbsp oil (any neutral or olive oil)
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • 1½ tsp Kashmiri red chili powder (or paprika)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • ½ tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp garam masala
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp thick yogurt (for extra tenderness)
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • A handful of fresh coriander, chopped (for garnish)
  • Warm tortillas or roti (to serve)

How to Make It

  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, cumin, chili powder, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, ginger, garlic, lime juice, salt, and half the oil to form a marinade. Add chicken strips and toss well. Marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to 2 hours for best flavor).
  • Heat the cast iron frypan on medium-high until just smoking. Add remaining oil.
  • Add the sliced onions and bell peppers, and sauté for 3–4 minutes until tender yet crisp. Remove and set aside.
  • Add the marinated chicken pieces to the same pan. Cook on high flame for 6–8 minutes, stirring now and then, until the chicken is fully cooked and gets a nice brown color on the edges.
  • Return sautéed onions and peppers to the pan. Toss everything together on high heat for 2 minutes so flavors infuse, and vegetables stay crisp.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander. Serve sizzling hot straight from your Suncasa cookware for a premium dining experience.
  • Enjoy with warm tortillas, roti, or as part of a Suncasa dinner set spread.

Moong Dal Dosa and Cheesy Bombs | Castella Cast Iron

Moong Dal Dosa and Cheesy Bombs | Castella Cast Iron

We all have those days where we crave something comforting and traditional, like a crispy dosa. But then we might also want something indulgent like a cheese-filled snack. What if one healthy batter could give you the best of both worlds?  Let’s dive into how you can master these two distinct dishes using one simple batter and the power of SUNCASA Castella.  Ingredients:  Moong Dal Batter Moong Dal (Yellow Split Gram): 1 cup (Note: It will double to about 2 cups after soaking) Cumin Seeds: 1 tsp Green Chillies: 2 (adjust for spice preference) Garlic: 6 cloves Ginger: ½ inch piece Water: ½ cup (adjust to get a smooth, pouring consistency) Salt: To taste  Cheesy Bombs (Appe) Cheese: Small mozzarella cubes Oil: For greasing the appe pan Crispy Dosa  Cooking Fat: Coconut oil or ghee Toppings: Gunpowder (Podi) masala Filling: Aloo masala (spiced potato filling) Side: Coconut chutney  View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanjana Das (@sanjanatries) How to make:  Preparing the Batter 1. Soak: Wash the moong dal thoroughly and soak it in water overnight, or for at least 3 hours. We used the FESTA Insulated casserole for this. This softens the lentils and makes them easier to digest.2. Blend: Drain the water. Add the soaked dal to a blender along with the cumin seeds, green chillies, garlic, and ginger. 3. Grind: Add about ½ cup of water and grind everything into a smooth, fine batter. The consistency should be similar to a pancake batter, not too runny, not too thick. Add salt to taste and mix well. Cheesy Moong Dal Bombs 1. Heat the Pan: Place your SUNCASA Cast Iron Castella Appe Pan on medium heat. Add a few drops of oil into each hollow cavity. 2. Pour Base Layer: Once the pan is hot, pour a spoonful of batter into each cavity, filling it only halfway. 3. Add the Surprise: Place a small cube of mozzarella cheese into the center of the wet batter in each cavity. 4. Cover: Pour a little more batter on top to cover the cheese completely. 5. Cook and Flip: Let them cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown. Using a skewer or a small spoon, gently flip each bomb over.6. Finish: Cook for another 2 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese inside has melted. Serve hot for that satisfying cheese pull!   Crispy Moong Dal Dosa1. Prep the Tawa: Heat your cast iron dosa tawa on medium-high heat. Drizzle a little oil and wipe it with a tissue or a cut onion to season the surface. 2. Spread: Pour a ladleful of the batter into the center of the tawa. Using the back of the ladle, spread the batter in a circular motion, moving outward to form a thin, large circle. 3. Season: Drizzle a teaspoon of ghee or coconut oil around the edges and on top of the dosa. 4. Add Flavor: Sprinkle a generous amount of Podi (gunpowder masala) over the dosa. Place a scoop of aloo masala in the center. 5. Crisp Up: Let it cook until the base turns golden brown and crispy. You’ll see the edges starting to lift off the tawa naturally. 6. Fold and Serve: Fold the dosa over the filling and remove from heat. Serve immediately with fresh coconut chutney.  Unlike chemically coated non-stick pans that wear out, cast iron gets better with age. It enriches your food with iron, holds heat longer to save fuel, and provides a natural non-stick surface that makes flipping dosas and appe effortless. By investing in high-quality pieces like the Castella Dosa Tawa and Appe Pan, you aren't just buying cookware; you're upgrading your lifestyle to be healthier and more sustainable.

Jalebi Rabdi Recipe | Easy to Make Dessert

Jalebi Rabdi Recipe | Easy to Make Dessert

Creating the perfect Jalebi Rabdi at home can seem like a challenge, but this classic Indian dessert is the star of any occasion. Using the SUNCASA Impact Pro Luxe cookware range, makes the process simple and enjoyable.  Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)1 tbsp ghee1 tsp fruit salt (like Eno) Water, as needed for the batter Ghee or oil, for frying 1 cup sugar2.5 cups water12-15 saffron (kesar) strands ½ tsp cardamom powder 2 cups full-fat milk ½ cup milk powder ¼ cup sugar (or to taste) ½ cup mixed dry fruits (almonds, pistachios), chopped for garnish A few saffron strands for garnish How To Make:  Chasni (Sugar Syrup)   Place the SUNCASA Casserole on the stove over medium heat. Add 1 cup of sugar, 2.5 cups of water, saffron strands, and cardamom powder. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Continue to boil until the syrup slightly thickens. You are looking for a "one-string" consistency. To test, take a small drop between your thumb and forefinger; a single thread should form when you pull them apart. Once ready, turn off the heat and set the chasni aside. Keep it warm for soaking the jalebis later.  Jalebi: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp of ghee, and 1 tsp of fruit salt. Gradually add water while whisking continuously to form a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be thick but pourable, similar to a pancake batter consistency. Transfer the batter into a piping bag or a squeezy bottle with a small nozzle. Heat ghee or oil in the SUNCASA Impact Pro Luxe Kadai over medium-high heat. To check if the ghee is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into it. If it sizzles and rises to the surface immediately, you are ready to fry. Gently squeeze the batter into the hot ghee in circular, spiral motions to create the classic jalebi shape. Fry the jalebis, flipping once, until they are golden and crisp on both sides. Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried jalebis and immediately drop them into the warm chasni. Let them soak for about a minute, ensuring they are coated well. Remove the soaked jalebis from the syrup and place them on a plate.  Rabdi:  Pour the milk into the SUNCASA Sauté Pan and add the milk powder. Stir well to combine without any lumps.  Place the pan over medium heat and bring the milk to a gentle boil. Add the sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently. Allow the milk to reduce and thicken until it reaches a creamy, condensed consistency. This will take about 15-20 minutes. Once the rabdi has thickened to your liking, turn off the heat.  Pour the rabdi over the plated jalebis. Garnish with chopped dry fruits and saffron strands. Elevate your cooking and create sweet memories that last with this special recipe and extra special cookware.
