My mom makes Ragi adai for my grandma, like I have already told in my Ragi dosa post. But I am trying only for the first time, though I wanted to try for a long time. Today I called and checked with my mom for the recipe and made for my lunch and had. Onion raita is the perfect side dish for ragi adai. You can also try any chutneys, coconut chutney is my choice! I love the green chillies and tomatoes when I eat this adai. My mom used to make with jaggery too for us when we were kids, have to try that soon as well!

I tried this from Hershey’s website and loved it! Its damn easy and can be made under 5 minutes in microwave oven. Smells and tastes great and perfect to start a day for a chocolate lover. Best way to finish away the last few spoons of coco powder. Only 3 ingredients!!

The first experience I had Lachha paratha was not a good one. I had in SB and it was tasting terrible. I thought it is really like that. So never ordered this if I see Lachha paratha in menu. Me and Vj both love the ‘Maida parotta’ and kurma. I used to eat many times before, but now a days due to health and weight constraints, we avoid having maida parotta.

I tasted Quesadillas only two times, and both the times I tasted only this red bean quesadillas. I had this once when we went to Raj restaurant, with my in-laws when they visited here. I loved it and again tasted and wanted to try it out at home. I could almost recreate the taste and am so happy with the result. They served it with Tomato Salsa and sour cream dip, it was yummy and tasting great with a buttery smell! Let me share the recipe straight away! Refer here for tortillas recipe.

I love this salsa, because its simple to make, yet delicious! This goes perfect with tortilla chips, or bruschetta or even our papad! Try it and sure you would love it. This may not be an authentic Mexican salsa because, I have my own tweaks in this recipe :) But I can assure you will taste great!

Tortillas are nothing but our Roti, made with all purpose flour. We can also make this with wheat flour. I have never tasted any wraps using tortillas, but I happened to taste a Quesadilla in a restaurant last month. Vj suggested to taste it and I instantly loved it. For past 2 weeks, I was craving for the quesadillas again and Vj took me to the restaurant and bought me the same on Valentines day… hehe. Then yesterday I thought why not try the same at home… I just googled for the info and successfully made today! Stay tuned for the salsa and quesadilla recipe coming up next!

I had no idea about nutella , that it would be so yummy and tasty until I bought it for the first time last week. And only now I know that there is a day called ‘Nutella day” even! I am not not big fan of peanut butter and I had a thought that this could also taste similar to that. But it was not. To all who doesn't know about nutella taste, it tastes just like yummy (nut) chocolate and the its simply divine and tastes out of this world!

Most of the time I buy raw banana/ vazhakkai, I make this raw banana dry curry, other than the simple vazhakkai poriyal. Vj loves it this way. Aj also eats silently, so I stick to this recipe. The curry is so flavourful, that I bet you would be wanting to eat it soon while you cook. The freshly ground masala is such a flavourful masala! It has the fine selected spices that even nullifies the gastric problem we usually get when we cook vazhakkai.I always wonder and appreciate how they incorporate the spices to balance all these in our cooking! Because the pepper,jeera,coriander seeds and mainly garlic does this job. This can be a perfect combo for more kuzhambu or even with any simple rasam. Again, this is a recipe I learnt from my MIL. We do even potato curry this way. I have already posted it.

For me fried rice means Chinese style, until last week when we visited Kailash Parbat for a dinner treat. Though Kailash Parbat is famous for chaats, that day, more than that I loved this Fried rice which was not the Chinese style one, but it was Indian style.It had only vegetables, but was so flavourful! It was so simple that, I could really guess the ingredients and very tempted to try at home. The very next day (Since I only had fried rice the before day), I made for lunch with Gobi Manchurian. The recipe is so so so simple. Only thing to do is cut the veggie finely. Its very flavour but a quick fix, you can try for lunch box too with any rich gravy…
Easy Fried rice recipe
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook time: 15 mins | Serves: 3
Ingredients
| Basmati rice | 1 cup |
| Carrot | 1 |
| Beans ( I used baby beans) | 10-12 |
| Baby corn | 5-6 |
| Pepper ( white preferred) | 1 tsp |
| Spring onion | 3 – 4 sprig |
| Olive oil | 3 tblsp |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
Method
- Cook rice with 1 & 1/2 cup water and separate the grains. Cut the veggies very finely so that it will get cooked easily in short period of time. Heat a broad pan with olive oil. When its hot, add the veggies with sugar and fry for 2 minutes or until its cooked,but retains its crunchiness.
- Lastly add pepper, spring onion and fry for a minute. Add cooked, rice and stir till it gets heated up.
Notes
- You can add ajinomotto and soya sauce in this same recipe.
- I added black pepper, but white pepper is recommended as it gives a colourful result!
- Adding sugar to retain colour.
It is simple yet packed with flavours! The basmati rice will dominate and makes an awesome combo with the pepper and veggies flavor...The crunchy veggies compliments this well. I never thought it would turn out so good… Try yourself to believe it!

One of the easiest and simplest, yet yummy and flavourful keerai masiyal recipe! (Keerai = greens, Indian spinach). This is the way both my mom and mom in law do. We do not add anything for spiciness in this. Actually my mom adds a lots of garlic and the hotness from garlic will be enough in this. But my MIL adds only less, still it tastes great. Hot steamed rice , with ghee and keerai masiyal is mostly everyone's favourite. Its good for kids too and almost my mom makes twice or thrice in a week when we were kids. Such healthy one, so try and see if you haven't before. I will share another recipe for keerai masiyal here in future, which has no garlic in it.
