Uppu Seedai is a traditional snack made during Krishna Jayanthi festival.This snack is made with rice flour and urad dal flour and lots of butter.I remember mom it in large batches usually 5-6.It is a tedious process of rolling the balls and me with my brother would help mom rolling these cute little seedai balls.It may appear that we are making many balls,but when you fry them and take out,you will see they are only a few.It can be stored for over a week and can be enjoyed later too.Many people are scared of making seedais at home,mainly for the…

OPEN BUTTER MASALA DOSA

August 29, 2015 by Nithya 1 Comment

Open Butter Masala Dosa is one of the items I always order whenever we go out to eat,specially it tastes great at Adigas,the famous chain of resturants here in Bangalore.I have so much wanted to make this at home,specially on a weekend dinner and I could make this last week.All enjoyed it to the core and needless to say it was a super duper hit in Nithya’s Kitchen.I was so pleased with the outcome that I am planning to make this often.The fact that the masala is on the top rather than inside as a stuffing,is the attraction here.Also it has toppings of grated coconut and ,coriander leaves,idli molaga podi and dollops of butter.Yummy!!

TOMATO SOUP

Soups are always liked by everyone at home.I make this tomato at least twice a month as it is easy preparing as well as very filling.As we all know know soup works as an appetizer and this one with rich red colour and strong flavour, works well on the tummy to initiate your appetite.Tomato soup is one of first soups I learnt to make and often order while eating out.Tomatoes are a rich source of the anti oxidant lycopene which is known for combating with cancer.It is because of this nutrient that it is red in colour.Now besides all these…
