Methi Matar Pulao is a delicious combination of green methi or fenugreek leaves and peas with cooked rice and spices.

Masala Milk is a delicious concoction of milk and spices with lots of nuts and sugar.I tried this milk at the temple city of Kumbakonam in a restaurant.Though I have made this several times at home,I am blogging about this now only.This is one traditional milk drink made in all households which is full of nutrients and calcium.My daughter who is fussy in drinking milk at times loved this and I was truly satisfied.While growing up mom used to give pepper and turmeric milk whenever I caught cold and flu.This has an added advantage of nuts and spices which when…

CURRY LEAVES BIRYANI

July 31, 2016 by Nithya 1 Comment

Biryani with curry leaves? Sounds new, right? I was on the lookout of making a new flavored biryani and this idea popped in my head. Curry leaves have a distinct flavour, and a pleasing aroma which when added even a little bit, adds taste to the whole dish. In my pantry I had Kohinoor Extra Long Basmati Rice and thought of trying this rice to make this new biryani. The addition of Kohinoor Gold Basmati rice which is 24 months Naturally Aged Pure & Authentic Basmati rice makes the dish really special & the beautiful green colour of the curry…

ACHARI BIRYANI

July 30, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

 I am here today with Achari Biryani which has a spicy twist with added pickle flavoring. I have heard about Achari Pulao, but I wanted to try Biryani today and that too with Kohinoor Extra Long Basmati Rice which is grown and natured with the river water of Himalayas, is naturally aged for 24 months to impart the fluffy grains, the extra length & the characteristic basmati aroma. The recipe is actually flavored with pickle along with spices and masalas. So you can imagine how fiery and spicy the outcome would be. I have used mango pickle extract, but you can use any variety. The aromatic rice when cooked and mixed with pickle gives a unique flavor to the biryani.

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…

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.
