It is a common feature in all our homes during peak morning hours of breaking our heads as what to pack for lunch.It is no exception in my household too and I end up making something which is quick to make, easy to carry and filling too.This Instant Puli Sevai is one such recipe.It can be made in a matter of seconds and is very ideal for bachelors or working women.Here both sevai or idiyappam and puliyodhare mix is readymade and store bought.I had this wonderful opportunity of writing reviews for Eastern Spices and I am posting recipes as and...

Have you a tried a simple cumin flavoured potato curry in less then 10 minutes?This is a versatile dish that goes with almost anything,easy to make and super tasty.Normally in busy mornings when I make phulkas for Dhivya for lunch box,I make this and she never complains as she is very much fond of this.This is a quick no onion no garlic recipe too,fit for those fasting days. Vrat recipes are not that hard and tasteless as you might think.You can also try by adding cumin powder also but since I wanted the nutty and crunchiness,I added only jeera.You can...
