Coconut Milk Pulao

Coconut, Lunch Box Recipes, North Indian Dishes, One Pot Meals, Pulao Recipes 2 comments

Coconut milk enhances the flavor of the pulao. I always add coconut milk to all my pulao recipes. I always prefer the taste of pulao with coconut milk than without it. This time I was making a small batch of pulao just for my kids and I decided to make a coconut milk pulao for them using only coconut milk. This made the pulao so rich and so tasty. You can use half water and half coconut milk too.

Lemon Rice

Left Over Recipes, Lemon, Lunch Box Recipes, Travel Food, Veg Rice Variety No comments

Lemon Rice is a flavorful, easy and simple rice that you can pack for kids lunch box. Since my kids are very little, they prefer these kind of variety rice in their lunch boxes instead of sambar/kuzhambu rice. I add some cashews and peanuts to make it more crunchy for them. This pairs very well potato roast.

Lemon rice is also a great option to pack when we have to travel. I remember as a kid, my mom always used to pack lemon rice when we went in train. It was always lemon rice or tamarind rice or curd rice with potatoes whenever we went on vacations. It doesn't spoil and always tastes so flavorful.
You can also prepare this with leftover rice. If you have left over rice, then this is the quickest, tastiest dish you can make!

Wacky Chocolate Cake | Chocolate Crazy Cake

Cakes, Chocolate cake, Eggless Bakes 2 comments

If you're looking for an easy, no work, egg free chocolate cake then look no further than this recipe! This is the simplest chocolate cake ever and it tastes so good too! This cake does not use eggs, butter or milk, all ingredients will be easily and readily available in your kitchen! Apparently this cake was created as a result of rationing during World War II when milk, eggs, butter were scarce.

The method of preparing this cake is also very easy and different. There is no need to line or grease the tin. You just have to add all the dry ingredients in the cake pan, make 3 wells in the dry ingredients and then add the 3 wet ingredients, mix well and bake!! It doesn't get easier than that!
But I was baking this cake for guests who were coming home and I did not feel the need to risk having the cake stuck to the pan!! So I lined my pan and prepared the batter in the conventional method.

This cake is pretty similar to the other dairy free eggless chocolate cake in my blog. Just as that cake, this cake tastes great with any frosting. I used whipped cream, you can use buttercream or ganache too or any other frosting.

Coconut Carrot Juice

beverages, carrots, Coconut, juice 1 comment

This is one of the healthiest drinks you can drink. The blend of carrots and coconut is a perfect way to start off your day. You can make this like how I have made or just make carrot juice and mix it with coconut milk. Either way it works. I added a bit of cane sugar for taste, you can skip it and make it a complete health drink.

Breakfast Recipes, Dosa variety, How to's, idli, Kitchen Basics 2 comments

The most famous South Indian breakfast is the Idli! It is so simple in 'nature' but so good for health and tasty with a nice side dish. It is also one of the safest Indian dishes. My kids had idli's as one of their first solid food and I always turn to idli when someone is not well at home.

Although it is such a simple food, this simple idli is the most fussiest food ever!! My biggest headache for a very long time, was to make soft idlis! I have tried many different recipes, proportions, tips and finally this is what worked for me and I settled on it. I got this recipe from here and here.
Most recipes suggest to grind the rice and urad dal separately but I grind them together and it works well for me.
Even if you come across a 'perfect' recipe for soft idli, you can master it only by trial and error. There are lots of factors that goes into making a soft idli and as you keep making it, week after week, you will perfect it and end up making soft idlis easily!!
