Soups are always comforting and give an additional attraction with a meal.Amidst all different soups,this carrot ginger soup stands apart as i have included many indian spices in it.Very soothing during cold cough this one is also a great appetizer and is very filling too and can be had in between meals.I have made this to times in my house and all liked it very much.I added caraway seeds and cumin to subside the sweetness of carrots.A different from the regular soups this will a nice hit in your homes.So do try and let me know..

When it comes comes to brinjal it is always a no no in our family.Try what may they won't touch it. But I like experimenting with veggies specially different coloured ones.But who listens?Hubby and daughter both have a strong enmity towards good old brinjal.But thankfully my MIL likes it and when i have packed something else for my daughter and hubby i end up preparing something out of brinjal.But yesterday it was different.I was for a long time planning to make eat Ravi and Dhivya brinjal and that too without their knowledge.Baingan Bhartha recipe from tarla dalal came to my...
It is a daily affair for me to break my head daily what to pack for my hubby and daughter.They both have different tastes and to satisfy both is one big task.I try to make a variety of items keeping their demands in my mind.Everytime i do something different there will be a number of questions aimed at me and this time it was no different.Karuveppilai means curry leaves and sadam means rice in tamil.They were at first very intrigued by the fact that how can i make a rice out of a thing that is used for garnishing.At least...
It is always a constant nagging of my daughter to post something new in my blog.It so happened that i was not feeling to spend time too much in the kitchen , but still didn’t want to dissapoint her.We bought a can of baked beans from Nilgiris and i found a correct recipe to make and to please dhivya as well.Baked beans in tomato sauce has a unique taste and it was a filling soup as well when served warm.See the recipe which i adapted from tarla dalal making a few adjustments to suit our taste.

Mohan Thal is actually a dessert from Rajasthan where sweets are eaten at almost any time of the day.It is a gram flour based fudge, but unlike it’s south Indian cousin Mysore Pak it has a crumbled consistency and the taste is simply unique and awesome.It is also served as prasad in many temples in north India and so can be called as sweets for the GODS.I had this at my north indian friend’s wedding many years back and the taste still lingers in my tongue.This recipe was given to me by my mother from a cookery magazine.It doesn’t sound...

I love pink guavas.I can eat this fruit any time of the day,though we usually eat it after dinner with some salt and paprika.I first had this guava juice in a resort we were visiting last year and was quite intrigued about the flavour,they had ginger added to it and the taste was awesome.When I was just talking about that last week,I got reminded of that juice so gave it a shot.It is a simple and flavourful cooler,with minimal ingredients and can be made by kids too,so so easy.Pink guava has added flavour and it’s taste is energising.Very good for...
