What's New in My Kitchen

It was while watching the movie 'Band Baja Bharath' I first saw bread pakoda. I wanted to try it very badly. I started searching for the recipe,thinking it wud b a easy simple tea time snack. But once I found the recipe,I came to know tat its not as easy as I expected. Boiling and mashing potato,cutting vegies,making batter,making chutney.....that a lot of work for lazy me

Carrot is my favorite vegetable,the only vegetable i liked from my childhood. Now its the one which suffers my experiments the most. Before i was into cooking,for me carrots was only an ingredient in curries and thoran,i was surprised to know the variety of sweet dishes which can be made with it.

First of all a big sorry for not posting the photo. Its a realy busy time so cudnt make the payasam for the blog

Its the month of Onam...The celebration of 10 days starts today.. The word Onam itself brings a nostalgic feeling to everyone. I had my best onam days at my Father's tharavadu. All those memories are related to my Father's brother. He was the one to lead all the preperations from flower carpet to feast. And I was his helper all those days as I was the first and eldest child in the family

Have u heard about eclairs...not the toffee one....a pastry variety... Eclairs is a pastry filled with flavoured cream and coated with chocolate on one side. You may find this in some bakeries. Well am going to share the recipe for the  pastry base of eclairs called choux pastry

Vegetable Pulao Veg pulao,an easy recipe for a lazy day.Make it for a lunch, kids lunch box or a dinner party(well  i know dats not a lazy day )....it suits anywhere.        What I love most about this dish is the variety of options for a side dish to go with it. U can have it with a simple 'raitha-pappad-coriander chutney' or any of those onio-tomato based north Indian gravies

Lemon Tea cake I always prefer  home made cakes than bakery ones.l won't say that my cakes are perfect but sure they are better at least health wise.We are not sure about the quality of raw materials used for store bought ones and most of them use margarine instead of butter.Well there are bakeries who are strict about the quality of their products.Now a days many are into cake baking, for the above reason.
