Rice Pakoda – Rice Pakora – Rice Fritters
June 18, 2015 Pakoda Recipes, Snacks / Starters
-
I am always in the look for some evening/after school snacks. This Rice Pakoda had been in my to-do list since a long time, or to be precise since I tried Idli Pakoda. It is quite similar to it with a few minor changes as I did not want to have the same taste. These Rice Fritters were so easy to make, crispy from outside and soft inside. Perfect snack with a cup of coffee!! I bet nobody will be able to find out that it is made of rice. In fact I used a bowl of left over rice
So this recipe is a double dhamaka – perfect use of left over rice and a yummy snack in just a few mins!!

June 15, 2015 Dals/Gravies, Potato Recipes
-
Poori and Potato Masala is the unbeatable combo in a South Indian restaurant’s breakfast menu. It is a very easy and quick recipe. Though many of u might know how to make this, I thought this post would be useful for bachelors and beginners. This same Potato Masala can be used as stuffing for masala dosa. So I usually make this in double the quantity so that it can used for masala dosa too.

Rice varieties are always a breeze to make, perfect for lunch box. This Capsicum Rice is a simple and flavourful rice variety. I saw this in a tv show and tweaked it a bit to suit our taste buds. If u have cooked rice ready, this Capsicum Rice can be made in a jiffy. So this can be also made with left-over rice. It does not need any side dish as such, a simple raita would do.

Muskmelon Smoothie – Cantaloupe Smoothie
June 9, 2015 Drinks, Summer Special
-
Muskmelon or canataloupe or khirni pazham (in tamil) is a refreshing fruit, perfectly hydrating for the summer. I can have this as is, but Chotu is such a fussy eater especially when it comes to fruits. This Muskmelon Smoothie is yet another successful attempt
I still remember those young days, when we used to dry the seeds in the sun and eat it. Due to less sunlight here, I just discarded them
So here u go with a simple and truly exhilarating drink, and if u are a fussy person like Chotu this is for you
