Mutta Bonda

Bonda Recipe, Egg Recipes, Snacks 1 comment

Mutta Bonda is a favorite tea time snack among South Indians. It is easy and simple to make, if you already have boiled eggs at hand. Few months back we visited my friend Poongodi, where she quickly made some yummy muttai bonda. Our family enjoyed the muttai bonda and we enjoyed the time spent with them! After that day my husband kept saying we must make these egg bondas at home and finally we ended up making it at home and it tasted great! My husband helped me make these bondas and we enjoyed our evening snacks with kids!

Now a days, we get ready made bhajji/bonda mix in the store but making this egg bonda from scratch at home is extremely simple and will not require you to buy the mix from the store.

Vegetable Cutlet

Cutlets, Kids Special, Snacks 2 comments

Vegetable Cutlets are one of the most favorite snacks of all time! If ever we go out for snacks then this cutlet is always a must have! It is easy and simple to make and kids will always love it.
One of the main things to note while making a cutlet is the binding agent. If you don't add proper and sufficient binding agent then you cutlet will fall apart when you fry them.
Also after adding the masala to the cooked vegetables, you can choose to cook it all again in a tawa to remove the raw smell of the masala.
So lets see how to make a tasty cutlet!

Carrot Pulao

carrots, Lunch Box Recipes, Pulao Recipes 1 comment

Whenever I want to include carrot in my kids lunch box, I always make the quick carrot rice. However this carrot pulao is slightly different from that carrot rice recipe. This pulao is more flavorful and mild and rich! This is the kind of pulao that you can serve for your guests. Made with fragrant basmati rice, coconut milk and flavored with whole spices, this pulao tastes too good!

Fruit Cake Ice Cream

Christmas Recipes, Fruit cake, Ice Cream, Left Over Fruit Cake Recipes, Summer Special No comments

This past Christmas did not go well for my family. My mother in law passed away and we did not celebrate Christmas and the fruit cake that I had made a week earlier was left in the fridge. I gave away a lot of cake and with the left over I made this ice cream.

This ice cream is so delicious and rich with all the nuts and dried fruits. We go to an ice cream parlour near our house where they mix our favourite ice cream with chocolate cake and we all love having that ice cream, this fruit cake ice cream tasted similar to that except this was more tasty and lip smacking with all the fruits and nuts added to it!

Karuvepillai Chutney | Curry Leaves Chutney

Chutney Recipes, Curry Leaves, Side Dish for Idli and Dosa No comments

The vegetable vendor near my house always gives me a lot of curry leaves for free and most of the time I am lost as to what to cook with it! Sometimes I make this chutney or this thogayal and I regularly use it for making curry leaves hair oil too!

This chutney tastes great, it doesn't taste bitter, it's just the right amount of curry leaves to make it a tasty chutney and a healthy side dish for idlis or dosa!

Sathumaavu Paniyaram | Paniyaram Recipes

Breakfast Recipes, Healthy Recipes, Paniyaram Recipes, Sathumavu, Snacks, Tiffin Variety 1 comment

I usually make a large batch of sathumaavu and store it for a few months as I find it tedious to make it often. So when I make a large batch, I tend to add it in any of the dishes I make to make it a bit more healthy than what it already is. Similar to this paniyaram, I have made sathumaavu dosa, sathumaavu uthapam, sathumaavu ladoo and even sathumaavu cutlets.

So a humble paniyaram became a sathumaavu paniyaram and no one in my family could even tell that it had sathumaavu in it. The trick is to not add too much of sathumaavu, if you add too much then it alters the taste drastically. Add just enough and the taste and texture remains the same.

Aloo tikki or potato cutlets are tasty and delicious snacks that can be made for the evening. These cutlets are always a favorite among kids. They are made by adding a lot of mixed spices to cooked potatoes along with a binding agent. These cutlets can be deep fried or shallow fried.

Mushroom Gravy

Mushroom Recipes, Veg Side Dish for Roti and Paratha No comments

Mushroom is a great source of protein, calcium and iron. It is also rich in Vitamin D and selenium, a powerful anti oxidant. I love mushrooms and try to include them atleast once every 10 days. I usually make this mushroom biryani, which we love. This time I made this mushroom gravy, which is creamy and delicious. This goes well with roti or even dosai.
