When we went out for my hubby’s birthday last year my daughter ordered American Chopsuey.I had no idea until the order came and as Dhivya began munching on it I could see the expression in her face that it was good.So I decided to try an attempt at it and succeded to some extent.This one I made recently as an evening snack which was throughly enjoyed and Dhivya said it really tasted awesome.This recipe is adapted from Tarla Dalal with slight variations.Now here goes the recipe ..

Dry Curry, Rice Accompaniments

CAPSICUM CURRY

April 8, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

I think capsicum is a very versatile vegetable so you can use it in many forms.This is a simple south indian style curry which i often end up making when i don’t have any ideas popping in my mind.You can have it with rice and chappathis too.I want to post a seperately on how to dessed in seconds the good old capsicum,as some of the seeds don;t taste good alongwith veggies.Now over to the simple, humble capsicum curry.

HONEY CHILLI CAULIFLOWER

Whenever we go outside my daughter is the one who will order starters.She likes to experiment many starters and each time it would be different.When we went out last week for dinner she ordered this Honey Chilli Cauliflower.It was slightly different from the starters i usually had and had sweet,salt and sour tastes in it.So this weekend she asked me to make this recipe at home and i tried to reproduce as close as possible.For kids this would turn out to be a great hit.Try out and let me know..

Dry Curry, Side Dish for Roti

BESAN WALI SIMLA MIRCH

February 19, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

This is one yummy exotic dish which i tasted at one of my marwadi friend’s house.Much back in college days, but i still remember the taste, so flavourful yet crunchy.We always make different gravy items for rotis and phulkas with capsicum.This one uses only one vegetable here and that is king capsicum.You could have this for vrat days as well as no onion or garlic is included in the making.Roasted besan imparts a nice aroma and the coat it gives to capsicum is simply awesome.Do try this tasty dry curry for your rotis and rice,I’m sure you’ll enjoy this.See down…

CAPSICUM LEMON RICE/LUNCH BOX IDEA

October 1, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

Lemon rice is a famous all time lunch box option.But in my house it is a no no from both hubby and daughter.But each day what shall i pack?I ponder this always and i sometimes it becomes difficult to decide.Lemon rice is a great travel food as well and we also prepare for Adi Perukku festival and offer to god.This becomes Neivedhyam to many festivals as well.While thinking of making a twist with the regular lemon rice i just added finely chopped capsicums while tempering.Normally only tempering is done and mixed with rice,but you can try this for a change.See the simple yet tasty recipe of capsicum lemon rice.Will soon post the regular lemon rice as well.Now try uot a hand on thas capsicum lemon rice.

MIX VEG KADAI FRY

June 2, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

There are sometimes when we are left with small quantities of veggies at home.Mostly I make aviyal with assorted veggies,but this time I had cauliflower and broccoli too.I was planning for simple roti and dal for dinner and was wondering what to do with these small bits of left out vegetables.As I was not in a mood to prepare an elaborate side dish, this mix veg kadai fry was very apt for my dinner schedule yesterday.Usually I like to have two side dishes while preparing any indian flat bread,one gravy based and one dry.So this dry variety was a welcome change at home and all loved it with hot rotis.You can try with your own liking and choose vegetables accordingly.This is how I made this recipe of a medley of vegetables.

PULI AVAL

I am back again with yet another Poha/Beaten rice recipe.Poha in tamarind is always an easy dinner option as it is light on the tummy yet filling for the heart.Yes ,food for me should not only fill the stomach but also heart should be happy when you serve it to others. Of course when unexpected guests arrive this light dish out of rice flakes can be prepared in no time.The traditional puli aval recipe calls for poha in tamarind only, but i have added veggies to it to make it healthier and tastier.The vegetables is purely upto you, you can…

SEMIYA UPMA

Among the various upma varieties of south indian cuisine,Semiya Upma is an easy,tasty and really fast breakfast recipe. Semiya Upma comes in handy for those really hurried up mornings and can be made in a jiffy,if you have vegetables chopped ready.It doesn’t require any accompaniment really but i have served it with tomato pickle.The addition of veggies is surely your choice,you can add beans,peas,carrot.Nice method of including vegetables for those kids who fuss eating them.This is one of those tiffin varieties that is not served in hotels,not that i know of,do let me know if you have had it at…

RAVA KHICHIDI

Rava khichidi is a close cousin of rava upma.That’s what i always say.It tastes like upma but the looks and texture are different.Both are great breakfast ideas and my family loves them both.When i came to Bangalore i was intrugued by the fact that they add the name bath to many tiffin varieties in hotels. Avallaki bath shavige bath to name a few.This rava khichidi is called khara bath here and it tastes heavenly. I always like to have it at Adigas,the well known restaurant here.It is easy to make and with all the loaded vegetables it is not only…
