I am back with yet another coolant drink,this time with mint,ginger and lemon.Living in summer asks for cooling down the body and what better way than to use up these wonder leaves called mint or pudina.It is known for its mouth and breath freshner properties as well.It is one of those herbs which is known to improve digestion and is an effective remedy for headache and nausea.Regular use of mint is beneficial for asthma patients and is a natural anti depressant as well. I have a few Summer Coolers Recipes in my blog.But this is the first one with a…

It is getting hotter and hotter each day and it is always a chill feeling to have something cold.Usually in summers besides juices,lassis and ice creams, for side dish to the main course i try to include more raitas and salads.As I was wondering what to make something for raita with a twist,this channa raita recipe came as a brain storm to my mind and I ended up in making this.This is a super quick and easy recipe which can made by kids too.As simple as that. I had made channa masala the day before and some of the soaked…

GULKAND MILKSHAKE

April 29, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Gulkand is a jam made out rose petals and sugar.Normally you could find this gulkand in the making of pan or betel leaves as a stuffing along with many things.I recently came across a milkshake made out of gulkand and was quite impressed the way it tasted in one the ice cream outlets here in Bangalore.The addition of vanilla ice cream makes it creamy and while blending it becomes frothy and thick.Did you know that gulkand finds a good place in Ayurveda and has been in use to improve digestion and appetite.My grandma used to say it acts as a…

PANI PURI/GOLGAPPA

December 5, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Pani Puri is a chaat which is tasty tangy and sweet owing to the different chutneys and the water used in it.I am very fond of Pani Puri and love to eat whenever we go out to eat.In North specially in Delhi where I grew up it is called Golgappa. Usually for making chaats at home,you need a lot of patience and it is time consuming also as it requires assembling of lots of items.But with proper planning you can make the things in advance and enjoy with your family.In my earlier days of cooking,I had tried this recipe trying…

It is a yummy treat to surprise your kids always and specially when it comes to chaats,they will be totally happy.I always prefer home made chaats,since I worry about water used in them.You can make this in no time when you have papdis and sev readymade at home.Sev Puri is the a delicious mixture of sev and papdis broken with potatoes,veggies and chutney.Tastes heavenly at any time of the day,my daughter enjoys this quite a lot. You can chop the veggies beforehand and that makes the job easier too.Sev Puri is also the famous street food of Mumbai where it…
