Paneer is an all time favourite, especially for vegetarians!! This Paneer Capsicum Sabji recipe is the most easiest of all Paneer recipes. It can be made very easily and quickly, yet it tastes yummy.  This can be a delicious lunch box idea for kids – as a roti wrap or a grilled sandwich. Kids would love it! This is Chotu’s favourite filling for sandwich. Check out the sandwich recipe if interested. This sandwich is not only wholesome but also healthy as kids get a good dose of veggies and paneer. You can make it more attractive by using all colours of capsicum or whichever is available. Check my full collection of Paneer recipes HERE.

Peanuts are very healthy. This Peanut Sundal is yet another easy sundal variety for Navratri, with a dash of amchur which is nothng but dry mango powder. Thenga, Manga, Pattani sundal is a very famous sundal that is sold in Chennai beaches. I simply love it and wanted that taste, but unfortunately could not grab a mango. So used mango powder. U can serve this is an evening snack. This protein rich sundal can be given to kids as well.. Although I am not a big fan of peanuts, I like this crunchy, tangy Peanut Sundal. Likewise try my Green Gram Sweet Sundal.

Sweet Appam or Instant Nei Appam is a very easy to make sweet during festival seasons. Perfect for Navaratri or Karthigai. Above all this version does not require any soaking or grinding. You can make it with the usually available ingredients from your kitchen. U just need to mix some ingredients, and shallow fry it in a paniyaram pan. How cool is that?!? Likewise do try my Rava Sweet Paniyaram as well. While there are many methods of making sweet appam this is with whole wheat flour. Guilt free right ?

Karamani Sweet Sundal – Navaratri Recipes

October 5, 2013 Navaratri Special  No comments

As Navaratri has started wanted to begin with a sundal variety. Navarati is a festival dedicated to the worship of the Hindu deity Durga. Sundal is an ideal dish during Navaratri. This Karamani Sweet Sundal is an easy sundal variety made with Karamani. Other names are Lobia or Black eyed peas.  U can serve this as a snack too rather than just during navaratri days. While most of my sundal varieites would be salted/spicy versions this sweet one is my favourite. Do try my Peanut Sundal as well which is yet another protein-rich sundal.

I have never said NO to bitter gourd, provided Amma makes it. This is exactly how she makes it. It might look like a long process, but once u have chopped the veggie, u can make it very quickly. This goes well with chapathi and rice too.
