Aloo Poori – Potato Poori

December 23, 2017 Breakfast/DinnerKids BayPotato Recipes  2 comments

Aloo Poori is a delicious poori flavoured with potato and spices. The golden colour of this poori is really very attractive for kids. It is a good method to get the hidden benefits of the veggie for those totally fussy kids. Poori is always my favourite since childhood. Poori & tomato thokku is my most wanted combo. This would be my standard demand on my birthday’s! 🙂 I served this Aloo Poori too with the same thakkali thokku, though this can be had without a side dish as it is fully flavoured.

Vazhakkai Kola Urundai is a delicious snack / starter. I had been wanting to make this since a long time. I have already posted a raw banana kofta curry earlier. This is a variation to it.

This is a very popular dish in Chettinadu cuisine.

Tawa Paneer Masala – Paneer Recipes

December 5, 2017 Dals/GraviesHoli RecipesPaneer Dishes  No comments

Paneer is always a favourite at home. This Tawa Paneer Masala is full of flavours. Its a super-yummy, semi-dry curry that goes well with roti & pulao varieties. Ideally as the name suggests it is made in a tawa. Since I do not have one ideal to make this, I made it in my usual pan. Its the quickest paneer recipe unlike the usual Paneer Butter Masala or Shahi Paneer. Not much planning is needed here as it just calls for the usual ingredients available in the pantry. A good dose of capsicum adds a magical flavour.

Butternut Squash Soup – Soup Recipes

November 28, 2017 Soups  One comment

Winter days are already here & its freeeeezing now-a-days. All I want is something hot to drink. Soups are always welcome at home. This Butternut Squash caught my eye during last week’s shopping. Hence the result – Butternut Squash Soup 🙂 I should say it is deliciously creamy & sweet. It has a mild nutty flavour which I loved the most. I bought a small tin of cream too, but did not find the need to use it in the soup as it was super thick & creamy. So try this warm, hearty & filling soup. Its a perfect soup to pack it in a flask for lunch too!

Beetroot Pulao – Rice Varieties

November 8, 2017 Bachelor Friendly RecipesBeetrootBiryani/PulaoLunch Box Menu  One comment

Beetroot is not my favourite. Hubby & Chotu love it though. I usually make this Beetroot Fry for chapathi/rice & love this Halwa!. This time I made this Beetroot Pulao as an one pot meal. It was perfect & quick for a lazy weekend. The lovely colour will attract kids and people who do not like beetroot like me will not make a big fuss! This Pulao and a simple raita would do to compile a hearty meal.

It is a goo...

Kaju Pista Roll

October 16, 2017 Diwali SweetsHoli RecipesSweets/Desserts  2 comments

Kaju Pista Roll had been in my plan list for last year’s Diwali. Somehow could not manage to make it. This time when I made the Kaju Katli video, made it as an extended version. It is in fact an extension of Kaju Katli as the base layer is the same with an additional pista filling. Made it as a video recipe too. So happy about the results as it tasted just like the ones we get in sweet shops. With this my sweet collection for this year’s Diwali is over.
