Aloo Gobi Dry Curry

 , , ,      No comments   
Aloo gobi is an easy and simple Indian side dish made with potatoes and cauliflower. In South India, this is had with a simple rasam or sambar rice and in North India, this is enjoyed with roti. Which ever way you choose to have it, this is a healthy tasty dish! You can make it dry like how I have made here or make it like a gravy too. I made it dry as the dry version goes well with rice.

Chocolate Basil Seed Pudding

 , , ,      2 comments   
These tiny little sweet basil seeds are a powerhouse of nutrient dense food that you can find in the supermarket. They help in weight loss, reduce body heat, relieves constipation, controls blood sugar levels, treats acidity, improves skin condition and many more!

 There are many different ways to include sabja seeds in our diet, the simplest being adding a tbsp of these seeds to a litre of water and then drinking this water. But if you don't like drinking water with sabja seeds then you make different desserts with it. This pudding is an easy way to enjoy a dessert and have these healthy seeds.

Egg Chapathi | Egg Chapathi Roll

 , ,      4 comments   
My kids like to take chapathi to school but they want to eat the chapathi only with curd. They don't like eating it with any veggies. This recipe is an easy way to make their lunch more healthy. The addition of eggs makes it protein rich and it makes the chapathi tasty too. You can add some vegetable stuffing in the middle and roll it up too. But my kids don't like it that way so I simply cut this up and pack it with curd.

Keerai Thandu Poriyal

 , , ,      No comments   
Keerai thandu poriyal is a stirfry made with only the stems of the keerai. I make a lot of keerai poriyal and my kids don't like eating the stems of the greens. So my maid suggested this recipe where you can cook the stems separately and make a poriyal out of it. The stems are already so tender so it cooks pretty well. I put it in the pressure cooker to make sure it was well cooked so that my kids will not fuss about it!

Papaya mousse is a creamy dessert made with ripe papaya, cream and sugar. I love papaya but my kids are not too fond of it so I make this easy mousse to make them eat it. This is similar to jackfruit mousse which I posted earlier.

Mango Raita

Mango Raita is a classic combination of mango with yogurt. Chopped mangoes added to thick curd is my most favorite raita! My daughter also loves this raita so I make this quite often. When you add the mangoes to the curd and keep mixing it, the flavor of the mango goes into the curd making it a beautiful yellow color and it tastes absolutely delicious!!

Keerai kootu is a delicious combination of moong dal and any keerai variety! This recipe is a staple in our home and I make it at least once every week. My husband loves this keerai kootu. I make this kootu with moong dal but you can make it with toor dal as well.

Brownie Ice Cream

Two of my favorite simple desserts are brownies and ice cream! Put that together and you have a match made in heaven! Off late, I have been making ice creams with cakes, I made a chocolate cake ice cream and a plum cake ice cream. Both tasted absolutely delicious so this time I made with some brownies and this too was a total hit!
It is common practice to serve brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, I know the taste of that and I knew this combination will work very well too! Do try it out, you will not be disappointed!
