GUAVA GINGER COOLER

May 12, 2015 by Nithya 2 Comments

I love pink guavas.I can eat this fruit any time of the day,though we usually eat it after dinner with some salt and paprika.I first had this guava juice in a resort we were visiting last year and was quite intrigued about the flavour,they had ginger added to it and the taste was awesome.When I was just talking about that last week,I got reminded of that juice so gave it a shot.It is a simple and flavourful cooler,with minimal ingredients and can be made by kids too,so so easy.Pink guava has added flavour and it’s taste is energising.Very good for…

CORN PEAS PULAO/LUNCH BOX IDEA

April 22, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

One of the daily features is in my household is ‘what to pack for lunch’?I always ponder about this and try to include variety and health in each meal.So when i was running out of ideas i got this recipe from my friend who makes pulaos of different types.I was happy that this contained corn,my daughter’s favourite.You can alternatively make this with baby corn as well.I have kept the spices minimal,you can increase the amount if you want.Also for a change in colour and extra flavour,i have added green peas,it adds a nice crunch to the pulao and tastes great…

HOME MADE SOYA MILK/SOYA RECIPES

March 31, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

It was sometime before i learnt about the benefits of soya and was surprised to know as to how we can get so many health benefits out of it.So i made up my mind to include soya in any form at least once a week.I have come across many children and adults too who are allergic to milk and are deprived of eating so many good things such as ice cream and milkshakes.A small percentage of milk also doesn’t suit them.So began a small attempt last week to make soya milk at home.I was excited as this was something very…

MOHAN THAL/GRAM FLOUR FUDGE

February 14, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Mohan Thal is actually a dessert from Rajasthan where sweets are eaten at almost any time of the day.It is a gram flour based fudge, but unlike it’s south Indian cousin Mysore Pak it has a crumbled consistency and the taste is simply unique and awesome.It is also served as prasad in many temples in north India and so can be called as sweets for the GODS.I had this at my north indian friend’s wedding many years back and the taste still lingers in my tongue.This recipe was given to me by my mother from a cookery magazine.It doesn’t sound…

Gulab jamuns are an all time favorite at home.Come what the occasion i always indulge in making them but ofcourse each time with the readymade mix available in the market.But i was so much tempting to make soft,melt in the mouth consistency jamuns with khova for quite a long time.It was an easy method i adapted from an old cook book my friend gifted me.Believe me it was an instant hit and i decided if i were to make jamuns from now on i’ll make this only this way.So here comes the easiest and tastiest way to a sweet indulgence…

MOR RASAM

January 19, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

To many this rasam may sound new,but it is an age old recipe made in my household as a mix with rice when you have cold cough etc.I don’t mind eating fresh curd when i have cold but it is a general fact that it should be avoided when you have cold.My mom and grand mom used to make it whenever we feel having it.It is so comforting that my hubby likes to drink it as a soup as well.Now see below the easiest recipe of mor rasam.
