Vaangi Baath/Brinjal and tamarind flavored Rice

My friend usually makes this dish and i tried it under compulsion on the day before i left for our christmas break.Yes I had my stock of brinjals to finish off and turn off the refrigerator.So i took down the recipe from her and it was a hit as my hubby is a huge fan of flavored rice :)

Strawberry Yogurt

A beautiful and healthy dessert :) My LM has taken to strawberries suddenly and I was happy when I found some flavoured yogurt, but it was a big disappointment.This yogurt i made she loved it and I thought did more justice to flavoured yogurt than the packed one :)

Idli Upma with lemon seasoning

Leftover food has never gotten more interesting since this recipe :) Everyone loves idlis and this simple idli upma is another reason to love them!I had a few leftover idlis and was wondering what to do of them, when I decided to try this.You should try it once, and fall in love with the simplicity of it!Then, what leftovers!

Shake-d

I finally found some strawberries, LM has constantly been pestering us for strawberry juice we even went looking one day and never found them :) Since i found this box of strawberries i am treasuring them!

Brinjal and peas Sabji

Ever since the packing-lunch saga started all kinds of ideas keep coming especially on days i have nothing planned out(read already chopped vegetables) for the lunch!Peas make a good accompaniment to any vegetable so i have discovered now.

Baby Potato Salad

I discovered baby potatoes are delicious recently.My DH used to always keep me away from them saying "they are so tiny, and they'll take ages to peel" and i used to run towards the normal potatoes.I couldn't resist the temptation for too long.LM loves these tiny potatoes roasted :) more reason to buy baby potatoes.

Green Parathas

I love/crave for north indian food any day :) I should be saying it for south indian food too but since I spent a lot of time being in Mumbai and chapatis/rotis are my soul food, sabjis and bhaajis go better than the kootu curries!

Crispy Prawns

Seafood is becoming a fast favourite with my family.My DH used to run away from curries but recently he's getting to like even that :) Fried foods are everyone's desire :) This time i decided to make this childhood favourite of mine.

Peas in a pod - Black and White Wednesday

I missed posting for BWW last week.But ever since I have started sending entries to BWW I'm on the lookout for good food photography.I'm going to take this opportunity to better my self in that area :)

Winter is the time for fresh peas.My LM loves to peel them even yesterday while I was finishing dinner work,she sincerely peeled about a quarter kg of peas for me :) and placed in a plastic bag neatly in the refrigerator!What an angel!

Sending this to BWW@The well-seasoned cook
