Mangoes are in season now and everywhere i can see vendors selling mangoes at a considerably cheaper rate,owing to the large harvest of mangoes this year.I got a large batch of ripe and unripe mangoes this year from a farm of my hubby's friend.I made sun dried mangoes,instant pickle, Avakkai and my daughter's favorite pickle Mango Thokku. She will always say i can't match Pamba,that's how she calls my mom,but any ways i tried and we all enjoyed. Thokku is made generally from big mangoes which have lots of flesh.It's always a joy to make pickle with mangoes afterall it...
Dosa of any type is a favorite at home.And it should be crisp and hot too.I make either dosa batter or idli batter once a week and make idlis and dosas of various types.As I was planning what to make for evening snack for my daughter,saw a small head of cauliflower lying on the fridge and with the dosa batter I had in hand made this in a matter of minutes.I have tasted cauliflower masala dosa once in a restaurant and was totally hooked to it.But I forgot the incident until I made this.I made the filling in the morning...
Adai is a crepe made out of lentils and rice.And it is one of the protein filled breakfast or tiffin recipes because of the lots of lentils in it.It is made thicker than the dosa,so it is filling so had as night meal.Considered healthy also it also has ordinary and and boiled rice as well.I usually make this once a week and tastes great when served direct from the tawa.It was during my childhood days that i enjoyed eating these stuff from my mom.It was so crisp on the outside and soft on the outside.So whenever you want to have...
I always look forward to the accompaniments for the main dishes whenever i visit any restuarant.On one such occasion when we all were terribly hungry on our visit to chennai sometime before on road we stopped at Adyar Ananada Bhawan on the highway.The red chutney they served for idli was truly remarkable.It may seem simple sometimes but when right ingredients put in the right propotion turns a simple dish to a royal treat.So when i came home made that very same chutney which was enjoyed by all.So here’s a simple yet spicy chutney coming your way.. Notes You can add...
Gobi Manchurian is a favorite item in our household.Dhivya loves it like anything and will finish the plate in no time.Whenever we eat out this would be our starter for sure.I wanted to incorporate the restuarant flovour in this and this was enjoyed by all at home.I usually make it dry but you can make it a semi gravy as well.You can eat this as a starter or have it with fried rice.The spring onions add a unique flavour here.So over to the recipe
I don't like falooda very much,I am an ice cream and smoothie person.But when I was asked to contribute for Savorit Limited for their website I was happy to do this and I also had fresh strawberries in hand from Delhi. Falooda is cold beverage originating from South Asia popular in the Indian subcontinent.Traditionally it is made with mixing rose syrup,vermicelli, sabza seeds with milk and ice cream for more taste.The original recipe calls for making falooda with arrowroot whereas in the Indian version vermicelli is used.The different taste and flavours of falooda is the result of the Muslim invasion...
I am back again with yet another Poha/Beaten rice recipe.Poha in tamarind is always an easy dinner option as it is light on the tummy yet filling for the heart.Yes ,food for me should not only fill the stomach but also heart should be happy when you serve it to others. Of course when unexpected guests arrive this light dish out of rice flakes can be prepared in no time.The traditional puli aval recipe calls for poha in tamarind only, but i have added veggies to it to make it healthier and tastier.The vegetables is purely upto you, you can...
Morning time is always hectic for all of us and iam no exception.After doing all household chores in the mornings I sit with my healthy breakfast schedule.I don’t follow a strict regime but have started including more of oats these days in my diet.Normally it would be porridge but experimenting is fun.I made this for breakfast about a week back and it was so good that i thought i will be making this more often.Oats as we all know has fibre content and is easily digestable too.So over to a super quick breakfast.
