It is a daily affair for me to break my head daily what to pack for my hubby and daughter.They both have different tastes and to satisfy both is one big task.I try to make a variety of items keeping their demands in my mind.Everytime i do something different there will be a number of questions aimed at me and this time it was no different.Karuveppilai means curry leaves and sadam means rice in tamil.They were at first very intrigued by the fact that how can i make a rice out of a thing that is used for garnishing.At least…

CASHEWNUT N CAULIFLOWER PAKODA

February 13, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

It was only a simple dry curry or a manchurian that I have made with cauliflower.So when I saw a new recipe in a magazine,I was tempted to try out for an evening snack last week.Cauliflower has no taste of its own so putting some spices turns it out to be tasty.I also learnt by googling that it has an excellent source of vitaminC besides having B-complex minerals and several anti cancer phyto chemicals like sulforaphane.It is also very low in calories.Coming to cashewnuts they have do have fat content but it is so worthy to try this recipe that…
