It is getting hotter and hotter each day and it is always a chill feeling to have something cold.Usually in summers besides juices,lassis and ice creams, for side dish to the main course i try to include more raitas and salads.As I was wondering what to make something for raita with a twist,this channa raita recipe came as a brain storm to my mind and I ended up in making this.This is a super quick and easy recipe which can made by kids too.As simple as that. I had made channa masala the day before and some of the soaked…

March 4, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

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…

SPRING ONION SOUP

January 5, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

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…

BROCCOLI PASTA/PASTA RECIPES

January 1, 2016 by Nithya Leave a comment

Broccoli is a cousin of cauliflower which has absolute no taste of its own and so kids hate it.But broccoli has innumerable health benefits and is an excellent source of Vitamin C.It reduces the obesity and decreases the risk of heart disease and has been associated with lowering the rates of colon cancer.So whenever I get a chance,I buy this flower and try to incorporate in the meal.As I was searching for some fancy recipe to attract kiddos and also wanted to make a simple dish I stumbled upon this recipe.It is very easy and the ingredients are very few…

One of the common features at home is what to make for dinner?In my house each one has a different taste and it is sometimes difficult for me to make ad satisfy all.Some of the times i make a variation and add or omit certain things and adjust as per their liking.Dosa is one such recipe.It is loved by all,But to serve the same way each time is boring ad monotonous.To break that i make various stuffing in dosa ad this one was made when my daughter wanted a fusion dinner.Making dosa the same way but with a chinese stuffing.I…

Minestrone Soup is a thick italian soup with lots of vegetables and pasta.It is a meal in itself due to the addition of lots of veggies and thankfully Dhivya loves soups and I can be rest assured whenever I make soups,it will disappear in no time.People who are fond of pastas can go for this recipe and try in place of any regular soup you would make at home.I was wanting to post this for a long time and could do it last week and the weather was so apt for this piping hot soup.There are a lot of variations…
