DATES FIG NUTS ROLL

May 25, 2016 by Nithya 2 Comments

I have been thinking of making this healthy dessert for quite sometime now.As summer is at it’s peak I tried many varieties of food which involve less time to spend in the kitchen.And yes,that should be easy to make as well.With very less ingredients and within a short time this delectable sweet was made and lo! It vanished in seconds.I read this recipe in a dessert cookbook and was tempted to make it for a long long time and finally did.When you are in a mood or craving for some delicious sweet that is healthy and can be made in…

PEAS SOUP

May 13, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

 It is very elegant to start any any meal with a soup as we all know they are very good appetizers.Peas soup is vibrant in green colour and is pleasing to the eyes as well with a unique flavour and creamy texture.This can be made as a broth as well and served with breads or simply as it is.I have made this with dried peas but you can make this with frashly shelled peas as well.Some add mint leaves for flavour,but since i didn’t have them,did not bother to add.But i have added carrots and onions for flavour and it really tasted great.

I was on a long break from this blogging world and now I’m back with a bang.Sorry to be away for this long,but due to some personal commitments,I could not post for quite sometime.I made this Darbari Dal for the Kungumam Thozhi Magazine last month.Needless to say it was creamy,filling and mildly spiced which was loved by all at home.This has a combination of massor dal and moong dal which adds a special creamy texture to the dal.It is different from the usual dals and can be made as a change from the usual sides we make for rotis or…

Come winters,it is always comforting to grab a bowl of soup.I made this delectable Spring Onion Soup last weekend for dinner and all enjoyed it to the core.Though soups can be had any time of the day,i like to have it just before dinner.This recipe is adapted from Sanjeev Kapoor’s website and i was quite impressed by the recipe,since it was simple and quick to make.I have a few soup recipes but this one is different,as i didn’t know such a soup existed.I thought of spring onion as a garnishing green or perhaps used in a subzi or paratha.See down…
