CHINESE VEG FRIED RICE

July 28, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Chinese style veg fried rice is a favorite at my home. I pack this for lunch to my husband and my daughter and they love it so much that it doesn’t even matter if the food is cold. My daughter would order this or veg hakka noodles every time we visit hotels. It is a rage among kids of this generation of having chinese food at restaurants and I have made a small gesture of making it healthy as well by adding lot of fresh veggies.But then hotels might add Ajinomoto or Chinese salt which I do not use, as…

GARBANZO TOMATO PASTA SOUP

June 30, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Garbanzo Tomato Pasta Soup is a totally filling soup and a meal in itself owing to the addition of pasta and garbanzo.Garbanzo is nothing but white chick peas which can be either soaked and pressure cooked or store bought in a can.I have soaked and cooked it,you can do it either way.When I first sounded the name of this,I was thinking this might be a tiring job and tough recipe to make.But I was wrong.I made this within 15 minutes and was ready for dinner well before tome.The addition of basil leaves adds an Italian touch and the flavor is…

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

March 7, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

It was my long wish to make Peanut Butter at home.I was always of the opinion that it would not turn out nice and i will ultimately end up wasting the ingredients used.But when i was a asked to write for Kungumam Thozhi Magazine last month for 30 various dal/legume variety dishes,i knew i have to try this.It is a lot cheaper and more healthier if you make it this way. I searched google for many recipes but ended up in this because of its simple and easy ingredients.And ofcourse it was quick to make too.It took less than 15…

BROCCOLI PASTA/PASTA RECIPES

January 1, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Broccoli is a cousin of cauliflower which has absolute no taste of its own and so kids hate it.But broccoli has innumerable health benefits and is an excellent source of Vitamin C.It reduces the obesity and decreases the risk of heart disease and has been associated with lowering the rates of colon cancer.So whenever I get a chance,I buy this flower and try to incorporate in the meal.As I was searching for some fancy recipe to attract kiddos and also wanted to make a simple dish I stumbled upon this recipe.It is very easy and the ingredients are very few…

December 29, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

One of the common features at home is what to make for dinner?In my house each one has a different taste and it is sometimes difficult for me to make ad satisfy all.Some of the times i make a variation and add or omit certain things and adjust as per their liking.Dosa is one such recipe.It is loved by all,But to serve the same way each time is boring ad monotonous.To break that i make various stuffing in dosa ad this one was made when my daughter wanted a fusion dinner.Making dosa the same way but with a chinese stuffing.I…

CHILLY PANEER DRY/PANEER RECIPES

November 27, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Chilli Paneer is a yummy Indo Chinese which is loved by kids and grown ups too.I prepared this last week as a starter when I had guests at home.I have never tried this athome,but only had a few times whenever we chanced to eat out.It is a dry version, but you can make the gravy type as well. Iam afraid it is fine to indulge in these type of recipes once in a while at home and share it with all.At home all enjoy Chinese recipes and since this a fusion recipe was enjoyed more and I know this will…
