BROCCOLI PULAO

July 29, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Broccoli Pulao was one of the recipes I tried for the first time. I have some recipes with broccoli in my blog but I was not sure if a pulao can be made out of this until I was tempted it to make with Kohinoor Super Basmati Rice which I was having in my kitchen. As most kids dislike veggies and more so broccoli, I found a way to include green and goodness in their diet which forms a good lunch box option as well. Kohinoor Super Basmati is 100% pure and original Pusa basmati variety. The grains are slender…

December 7, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

It was my long time wish to try something from south east asian country such as Thailand,mainly because they always include a lot of aromatic herbs and leaves in their cuisine.As we can see there are many similarities in the cuisine of our neighbouring countries and ours.I liked one recipe of a simple thai curry and for that you need to make a green paste.I later learnt that with this green paste you can not only make a curry but a variety of dishes as well.So I thought of posting a separate recipe for my blog of this delicious, aromatic…

Onion Sambhar is a classic and flavourful gravy made with shallots or onions as you might call them and freshly ground spices.It would always be on the to do list when guests pop over in the south indian lunch menu.Though all sambhar varieties require a tamarind base and the main ingredient being sambhar powder, each recipe has a peculiar taste and aroma of its own.This sambhar is usually thick from the ones we make to serve as a side dish for idlis and dosas.Onions used here is a variety called sambhar onion or madras onion,It has other names too such…

June 30, 2015 by Nithya 1 Comment

Lemon sevai is a tangy tasty tiffin or breakfast recipe I usually make at home.Specially helpful in days whenever onion is forbidden,this is a wholesome dinner option as well.I made this with with rice flour,but you can make it the traditional way of soaking the rice and grinding it nicely and steaming it and then putting it in the nazhi or press and squeeze out.That process is long,time consuming but very tasty.The method I used is equally flavourful and forms a good meal.See down below the recipe of Lemon Sevai.
