Ellu Milagai Podi or Sesame seeds gun powder is a great accompaniment with idli/dosa. I have already posted a Dosa Milagai Podi recipe earlier. This ellu milagai podi is a slight variation, with a nutty flavour and goodness of sesame seeds. Dosa Milagai Podi is Chotu’s favourite and as far as I have seen kids love it for idli/dosa. This Ellu Milagai Podi is a great method to sneak in some sesame seeds.

Me and my son can eat brinjal in any form and this Brinjal Podi Curry is no-exception. We both love the freshly ground “podi” (powder) that I use in this recipe. This goes well with rice, sambar/rasam. Curd rice and this Brinjal Podi Curry is the best combo 🙂

Coming to Aloo Matar Gravy, Its an easy one pot gravy that pairs well with roti, poori and mild pulao varieties. With a few common ingredients from your pantry, u can make this delicious curry very quickly.

Being a vegetarian, we do not have much options while eating out here. Cheese and Onion is the most, sometimes the only combo as far as any pastries, sandwiches or pies are concerned.. I got the idea of making this Cheese and Onion Paratha from that and it turned out awesome. Chotu just loved it, so am sure it would be a hit among kids. Its simple and quick to make too..

Karuveppilai or curry leaves have a lot of medicinal value. It is a very rich source of iron. This Karuveppilai Podi is a good method to sneak-peek curry leaves. Its very simple to make too. Try making this flavorful Karuveppilai Podi and enjoy its health benefits.

Grape in a smoothie??? Its my least favourite fruit to make a smoothie. But I ended up making this Banana Grape Smoothie as Chotu wanted a smoothie with grapes. But for him, I wouldn’t have tried this combo at all.. Trust me it was just as delicious as any other smoothie. So if u are like me, just try making this simple yet yummy Banana Grape Smoothie.
