For me it's the easiest thing to just grab and make, and not to think twice.<div>Pesto mainly is made of 5 ingredients, basil, garlic, pine nuts, cheese and olive oil. You can add more or different ingredients and make Walnut pesto, tomato pesto, pistachio pesto, spinach pesto, and so on....</div><div>I like regular plain pesto and when I cannot make it on my own, the Costco brand, is my go to. Whenever I can find tomato pesto, I have to always keep that too. By the way, the Costco tomato pesto has almonds, so totally low carb friendly, keto friendly. Pesto itself is low carb or keto friendly of mademof right ingredients.</div><div>So here is a dish I make atleast once a week. Zoodles I make more than once, and fish I make 2-3 times a week, but a dish like this, I make once or when I think I don't have much time. </div><div>After I started my diet or low carb eating, I always keep individually frozen measured fish fillets at home. I am lucky that my grocery store does that for me, but surely you can do that yourself and save yourself time on weekdays. There won't be a meal prep and you can cook fresh food whenever you want to. A tip to heathy eating😝. I sometimes portion out even cut up chicken breast or even ground chicken and freeze so that, I just grab a bag and cook when needed.</div><div> </div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Zucchini, also known as courgette is one of the best veggie you can have with the lowest calories and carbs possible.

Hello all,<br>
<div>
Been a long time I posted here. I was checking when I posted last and it was back in 2013. Wow! 5 years have gone by so fast. Anyways, a lot a happened in these 5 years majorly this year. I have changed my "way of eating" to low carb and keto. I mainly follow keto with intermittent fasting most of the days of the week. I have seen a lot of change in myself, but that would be a story for some other day! </div>
<div>
Since I am Indian and cannot stay away from Indian foods, what better than making it Indian keto! Yes I eat Indian most of the days and like to experiment with other cuisines as well.</div>
<div>
So here we go! Starting my "back to blogging" with an easy low carb, keto friendly recipe called Coconut powder or kobari podi, without the addition of any dal, lentils or pappulu. But this is the way I always make it, my mom made it and this is the way I like it! So this recipe is not new to me but the realization that it's keto friendly has dawned on after I started the diet!</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_6f0d_b55_e278_5f13" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-1eYHoVT2Ark/W3sTX0JY3QI/AAAAAAAASpA/z1bg4yAOo5UUwtwTGk9sjUJa8nETrtUSQCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip=""><br>

<div>
Coconut oil or dried coconut in some quantities can and should be added to our daily diet. Coconut has many nutritional benefits like Manganese, dietary fiber, copper( for production of blood cells, and selenium in major quantities.</div>
<div>
Below are the nuritional facts for dried coconut. It has 6.3g Net carbs for 10g but remember we don't eat the whole 10g or and it has other ingredients added, which makes the Net carbs even lower. Remember when on a diet or trying to eat healthy, it's about what you eat and how much you eat.</div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_736c_b87_e961_d22d" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-fwqnmfZCyVc/W3sTXVgi3yI/AAAAAAAASo4/nqqdRTI1N04I2pmH9g9qY7GJla79cH7GgCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 132px;" title="" tooltip=""><br>
<br>
So back to the recipe.</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Ingredients -</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
1 1/2 cup dry dessicated coconut (unsweetened)</div>
<div>
6-8 garlic pods (the more you add, the more garlicky it's going to be)</div>
<div>
1 tbsp jeera or cumin seeds</div>
<div>
20-25 dry red chili (the more you add, the more spicy it is, I like it spicy! If you want to tone it down or kick it up a notch, add how much you want)</div>
<div>
Salt to taste</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
<img alt="" id="id_b5f8_94e4_992f_f8af" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vnCqDFtGf00/W3sTX4INHFI/AAAAAAAASo8/C3SAjGxWB-cjBhCmCBO1oTUjjcLTLUC1QCHMYCw/s5000/%255BUNSET%255D" style="height: auto; width: 392px;" title="" tooltip=""><br>
<br>
<br></div>
<div>
Method of preparation -</div>
<div>
<br></div>
<div>
Dry roast jeera and red chili till they are aromatic.</div>
<div>
Once it is cool, grind garlic, jeera and red chili. Then add the dry coconut and grind till everything is well ground and incorporated. </div>
<div>
Enjoy with any food with a dollop of ghee. It can also be enjoyed with hot rice. It also can be topped on any stir fries to give a spicy coconutty flavor. </div>
<div>
So this recipe is an all-rounder, keto or low carb or regular food, enjoy as you wish!</div>
<div>

Again the days have come and gone, more like months have come and gone...and the year is quickly passing by. Though we are still not totally out of the clutches of winter in some parts, in other parts spring has already been showing its beauty. I continue to clicks lots of pictures of flowers as I so fascinated by all the different types of flowers nature has in store! I hope everyone out there is getting to enjoy a bit of the new spring and taking full advantage of it by planting new plants. I haven't started to plant here as yet but I sure to plan on getting on that job soon. Other than that life has been normal as always. Kids and their activities takes up most of the time and I find so less time to myself. The very less time I get, I just feel like relaxing...that's the reason I started spending so less time on the blog. I keep telling myself that I should do more...but...that just keeps hanging. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well no worries, that's how life is I guess and I should just keep going on with it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The reason I make this dish very so often is to finish any leftover rice. But then there are times when I make it to have as a side dish. Though noodles are kids favorite, I think my favorite has always been the fried rice. While trying to make it healthier whenever I feel like eating it, I started making it with quinoa. But then there come days when there is some left over rice and some left over quinoa. That's when I decide to combine both of them to make this fried rice. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since rice and quinoa blend together very nicely, you cannot really tell which is which. :) That helps with kids!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This dish can be made completely with quinoa or completely with rice. I just like to add lots of vegetables and egg to make it more nutritious. You can add some cooked chicken or shrimp to make it more exotic too :). Or omit the egg to make a wholesome vegetarian dish. Add some lima beans and sprouts to make even more delicious. Well these are just a few ways in which you can adapt this dish. Its more like a pantry dish where you can put what ever is there in your pantry to make it your type of dish.</div>

I just can't believe how fast the days go by when you don't notice...that's what I think! And so slow goes a 'day' when you keep thinking when will the day end!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well that's how slow a day goes when you are home caring for a sick child at home. My little one was sick..not really really sick...he has been coughing his lungs off for the past 2 days....so he was home coughing, and not eating much. You try your best to get food and fluids into him...but you know how they win over us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Well he is much better today, so I sent him to school. His main concern (for being a kindergartner) is that he has to 'write'. Yes he has no problem to go to school but all his problem starts when he has to 'write'. Well I did prepare him a little bit, I hope it helps and he will write better today and enjoy his school day with much less coughing!</div>

I am sure everyone make salsa and guacamole at home. Here I just added some Indian ingredients and made it into a chutney which can be eaten with a regular Indian breakfast like idlis and dosas. Actually I have tried it with rice and a bit of ghee and it tastes just as good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So you all know how good avocado is for you right. That added with some coconut makes it not only healthy but also flavorful too. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 Avocado</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 cup grated coconut (fresh or frozen)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2-3 garlic cloves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3-4 green chilies (or less)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp lemon juice</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
salt to taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For tempering:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp urad dal / minapa pappu</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp mustard seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1/4 tsp jeera or cumin seeds</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 dry red chili</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
few curry leaves</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 tbsp coconut oil (you can use extra virgin olive oil or any other oil you prefer)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Method:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Grind the first 6 ingredients into a smooth or a not so smooth (if you like it chunky) textured paste.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Heat the oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds, cumin and urad dal. Let this start to splutter before adding red chili and curry leaves. This is splutter almost immediately (after adding the curry leaves), remove and add to the chutney.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Serve as a dip or with idlis, Dosas or rice. Tastes good either way with all the healthy and yummy ingredients in one dish! Or if you like slather some on some toasted bread and savor it! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Enjoy!!!</div>

Though I love to bake and eat sweets, I am not completely and sweet person. If I get a chance, I would probably go for spicy dishes first, then to the sweet. But I am won't omit sugar completely! :)<br />
<br />
I love sugar, tho I can't eat it now a days...it tempts me so! I try to keep myself away from it basically for health reasons. Especially this season, when we look for comfort food and when we are surrounded by chocolates. I do love me some sugar! But ya, for us who are trying to go healthy and all....I keep it to the minimum. This has been a trial using Pillsbury Biscuit dough, but I would surely try to go for whole wheat if possible. To eliminate the use of any extra butter, I used coconut oil. Now a days this ingredients has been given rave reviews as one of the healthiest ingredient around. I am going to try to incorporate it into regular dishes too, other than only baking, which I have been doing till now!<br />
<br />
So with Valentine's day around the corner, and with so many 'sweets' around, I thought how about going for something spicy instead. Something easy, garlicky and spicy too. These Mini Garlic Twisted rolls are made of Pillsbury biscuit dough which comes in a cardboard can. Isn't that easy. All you need is this dough, chopped garlic, chopped coriander and few other stuff which may already be in your pantry. I like to have this as a side dish with a salad or soup. It takes under 20 minutes from start to finish. Just a simple way to whats already available and making use of it!<br />

The first one is plain for my little kiddo, second and third are experiments - with 3 rolls and with 1 roll.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I think using one roll makes it too small and using three makes it too big. Two rolls were a perfect size, but surely you can do what you like.</div>

I just went crazy on the pictures - Sorry for that! But this is my first time trying to edit using my Mac and I am kinda lost. I am still learning and I hope to learn soon! It really get frustrating when you try to switch from one operating system to the other.<br />
<br />
Coming to my Handiwork - I made these cute Valentine's Day bookmarks for my kid's classes.<br />
They are made using Paint chips on one side and scarpbook paper on the other. Small hearts punched out on the side and tied up with a ribbon. Arn't they cute!!<br />

This post has been sitting in my drafts for a long time...well to say actually lots of recipes are sitting in my drafts for a long time and the corresponding pictures in my pictures folder - resting! They both are not able to get together at all! I am sure the drafts are longing for the pictures and the pictures are longing for their drafts. Hopefully I will be able to bring both of them together soon! :)<br />
<br />
Can't believe its 1st of Feb already and maybe that's the reason for all the lovey dovey mushiness going on! Its in the atmosphere, the commercially made atmosphere that is!!!<br />
Well I don't mind it though! Atleast people get one day or one month, which ever the case maybe to declare their undying love or care for their better half or their future better half! I think its a good idea - we may not have time in our every day life and so Valentine's day reminds us to tell that some special person that 'We love them and we care for them'. I hope everyone will 'make use' of this day to it extreme! :) We shall talk about that later!<br />
<br />
Gongura being a very popular for us Andhaites and I am sure many of you have heard about the numerous preparations with it. Here is one more popular dish called Gongura mutton. This can be made with lamb or goat, which ever you like or which ever is available at the time! A big bunch of sorrel leaves and some simple spices make this dish very delicious and yummy!<br />
Though it takes a little long time to cook, the meat cooks, becomes tender and delectable! All the spices marinate with the meat and make a good gravy which can be eaten with rice or with rotis.<br />

<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 lb mutton (bite sized pieces)<br />
1 big bunch of gongura leaves (about 1/2 lb of leaves only)<br />
<br />
2 tbsp oil<br />
1 large onion, chopped<br />
1 tomato, chopped<br />
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste<br />
2 tbsp gasalu kobari paste, poppy seeds (gus gus) and coconut paste ( 1 1/2 tbsp coconut powder and 1/2 tbsp gus gus , made into paste with some water) (This is optional)<br />
2-3 tsp of chilli powder (you may add more if you want it more spicy....I used plenty more)<br />
1/2 tsp turmeric powder<br />
1 tsp garam masala powder<br />
chopped coriander leaves<br />
salt to taste<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Method:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white;">Chop the gongura leaves, add them to a empty pot, add about 1/4 cup of water, cover it and put it on medium heat. When they are half way cooked through, add some salt and chilli powder. Let it cook fully through, which means, it becomes completely soft and mushy. Use the back of the spoon or spatula to mash it up even more. If you like it totally smooth, just process it using a hand blender or food processor. When cooked it will be about 1 cup of cooked gongura leaves.</span><br />
<br />
In another pot, add the oil and saute the onions until they are translucent.<br />
Add the ginger garlic paste and saute for another minute.<br />
Add the chopped mutton and some salt. Let this cook for about 6-7 minutes. Add the tomato and keep cooking for another 5 minutes.<br />
Now add the gasalu kobari paste, turmeric, chilli powder and keep cooking for another 15-20 minutes, until its cooked through. If they isn't enough water in the mutton, add some.<br />
When the mutton is cooked through, add the mushy gongura leaves, some extra water, garam masala and coriander leaves. Let this cook for another 10 minutes, until the curry thickens to required consistency.<br />
Serve it along side hot steamy rice or some hot rotis.<br />
If you like the sour taste of gongura leaves and like a spicy gravy, I am sure you will like this.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

I totally completely forgot about my blog anniversary (which passed by me couple of days ago). This tells you how much out of the loop I have been with my blog! How much I wish I could start posting everyday, but it just not happening. Lots of other stuff take up my precious time. And not only that I have been trying my other hobbies and so they have also kept me away from blogging. Well thats fine!! :)<br />
<br />
Things are going good on my side! How are things on your side? Kids in routine with school and activities and even our life falls into routine with them.<br />
Holidays have come and passed us by. So there goes another year without snow and terrible cold temperatures. Can't complain as we have enjoyed every bit of it! Though I do like snow and wish sometimes that we had snow, won't complain as its not that far away, only a 3 hour drive and we get snow! With that on the back of my mind, I am not missing snow or the cold temperatures! My East Coast friends - I love you all!! :)<br />
<br />
Other thing that I am totally hooked on to is Pinterest! I see so many great ideas, recipes and DIY stuff that I am so tempted to try all of them! I have already made a cowl and knitted a few scarves. If anyone is interested you are welcome to checkout my Photo Blog <a href="http://mypicxels365.blogspot.com/">My PicXels</a>. Yes! after a good year last year which was my first year to do a photo blog, I decided to continue with it again this year :) simply because I think I learned a lot about photography, but also because I love clicking pictures! So if you have time do check it out. Right now I am doing a mix of phone clicks and camera clicks so that I am not bored at all. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Since I forgot my Blog anniversary, I haven't had much time to prepare. I chose this simple, few ingredients recipe, which I have made a few times now and is fool proof. The only thing I tried new was to try the zebra pattern, hoping it will come out good! ............but I think I could have added more cocoa powder for the darker lines, so more like marble cake maybe! The lines came out very light in color....but overall it tasted good! YUM!!<br />

<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 cup flour<br />
4 eggs<br />
4 tbsp butter (melted)<br />
2 tsp baking powder<br />
1 tbsp vanilla extract<br />
1 can sweetened condensed milk (nearly 400g)<br />
<br />
2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa powder (increase this for darker lines)<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Mix all ingredients, except for the Cocoa powder into batter using your mixer.<br />
<br />
For the chocolate part:<br />
<br />
Divide the batter into 2 halves. To one half add 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa powder.<br />
<br />
<br />
Grease a pan with some butter and flour it.<br />
Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F.<br />
<br />
Using a 1/4 cup, pour both the batters in alternate pattern. That is, once pour the regular batter in the middle of the pan. On top of that, pour the chocolate batter. Do this until all the batter is used up.<br />
<br />
Bake it for 30-35 minutes.<br />
<br />

With Holidays around the corner and all sweet and chocolaty all the time is what I see around me. And this is the time I feel like eating spicy all the time. So lets take a different route from the sweet section to the spicy section!<br />
In times of need, you would try anything desperately ...Isn't that right? Well that's how my life works sometimes. Well maybe not every time, but maybe sometimes right.<br />
That applies to when you cook too. what would you do when there is nothing in the house as in ingredients and you decide you want to go big ..haha...well that's how this chutney came up. Little of this and little of that and 'BOOM' a 'chutney' is made. :)<br />
Too much drama know?...well simply said, I prefer to have frozen fresh grated coconut in my freezer almost all of the time. It really comes in handy at time of need. Like this time when I had to make a chutney for our breakfast dosas. And I like like my chutney spicy that's why all the chilies in the recipe. Try it you might enjoy it!<br />
Quick and easy to make, delicious too. Goes good with Dosas, idlis or even hot hot pongal.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup fresh grated coconut (Frozen or fresh works good)<br />
6 - 8 red dry chilies<br />
2 green chillies<br />
2 garlic cloves<br />
less than a marble size of tamarind<br />
salt to taste<br />
<br />
Tempering :<br />
<br />
1/4 tsp mustard seeds<br />
1/4 tsp jeera or cumin seeds<br />
1/4 tsp urad dal<br />
1 dry red chili<br />
few curry leaves<br />
1/2 tbsp oil<br />
<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Grind together the first five ingredients with a little bit of water. Add the salt.<br />
Heat a small pan with the oil.<br />
Add the urad dal, when it browns add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When they start to splutter, add the broken red dry chili and curry leaves.<br />
Add this immediately to the ground coconut and chili.<br />
Mix well and serve with dish of your choice.<br />
Tastes good with idlis, dosas and even upma.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

Well December is already here, which means few birthdays in our family and holidays for sure! Which also means lots and lots of cooking. I am hoping I can make some new dishes using some real easy ingredients! I will be sharing them with you guys so stay tuned! Dishes which will be easy to put together in time for busy days!<br />
I am hooked on to Pinterest these days. There are some real cool stuff DIY stuff in there. if you haven't checked it out as yet, be sure to do it! Also knitting and crochet, one of passions, I have been looking at stuff and wish I could do all that I see. Which is like impossible but no wrong in wishing so right! :)<br />
I am going to start on another knitting project, this time on the loom, a big project too, so lets see how it goes!<br />
<br />
So with the first birthday in our home..here is what I cooked. Simple and easy to put together for sure. Delicious to eat too! Dish of the day was - Pan fried Masala Fried Fish on a bed of Vegetable pulao with a side of Onion Raita. :) wow big name!! :)<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
4 Fish fillets (I used Tilapia, can use any white fish fillets)<br />
<br />
Masala:<br />
<br />
1 tbsp ginger garlic paste<br />
1 tsp gus gus / khus khus / gasagasalu / white poppy seeds<br />
2 tsp dried coconut powder or flakes<br />
2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves<br />
1/4 tsp tumeric powder<br />
1/2 tbsp chilli powder<br />
1 tsp garam masala<br />
1 tsp coriander powder<br />
1 tsp jeera / cumin powder<br />
salt to taste<br />
1 tbsp of oil for 2 fillets of fish.<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Grind the masala into a smooth paste with very less water.<br />
Rub the masala over the fish fillet, more like patting it on the fillet.<br />
Let it marinate for about 1/2 hour to 2 hours.<br />
Heat oil in a large pan and fry the fillets till they are cooked on both sides by flipping them once or twice, on medium low heat for about 5-7 minutes, till the masala also gets fried to brown in color.<br />
Serve with Rice of your choice.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

** I made a simple rice cooker pulao to go with it. Ground all the dry masala and sauteed with the vegetables of choice, only till they are half cooked. Substituted 1 cup of rice for the rice with coconut milk. Some coriander leaves and mint leaves to go with it. Everything goes into the rice cooker to cook.<br />

I hope everyone had a fun day today eating all the yummy goodies and lighting lots and lots of diyas. I hope people in India and elsewhere where you are able to play with firecrackers have had loads of fun, enough that you will be waiting to do this again all over again next year!<br />
Well we had some fun! Played with a few sparkles and lighted a few diyas! I just hope my kids are able to enjoy it and will not forget our culture and our festivals.<br />
Tho they won't be able to enjoy like we did when we were young. They really won't know what a ladi is or what a atom bomb or a hydrogen bomb is..:) or what a Boo chakra or a vishnu chakra or even what fountain is! But at least they will know what Diwali is and I hope they will continue the tradition way into the future!<br />
<br />
Once again Wishing each one of you a very happy, fun and safe Diwali!!<br />
<br />
Here is what went into our goodies at home...Recipes will soon follow!<br />

<br />
Its so easy to get side tracked with so many "other stuff " to do in life. Thus is the story of my blog. Side tracked to the bottom of my 'to do' list and feeling the pressure of neglect for the past few months!<br />
Too bad of me know!! I am not going to promise anything, I know I have made promises to get back on track, but never could keep up with any! I will just try!!<br />
<br />
With Diwali around the corner and with the on going festival season, I am sure everyone must be preparing to make lots and lots of sweets and hots...ahh you know what I mean! What?? Diwali is next week? was my reaction when I thought about it. Well I guess its been on my mind, but didn't think it would sneak upon me like this. Like a few of you know, how I like to prepare well ahead for Diwali, but this time I am still so much behind. I just wish I could get up and go do something! :) Well I will be be surely doing something soon...but you guys be sure to go through my Diwali posts for something to make which are easy and quick.<br />
<br />
Here today I am sharing Maida Halwa. This brings on nostalgia. I remember this from my childhood, when I was in Trinidad, where they used to make this or should I say this dish was a very important part of any festival celebrated. And I used to love it, never got bored of it once! I like it little bit drier and less sweet than usual. Hence I use less water.<br />
Here I wrote a recipe using on 1/2 cup flour, since I make it in very less quantity at home, otherwise I have to end up eating it in the end.<br />
As with any halwa, ghee makes a very big difference...How much you add is the key. Just to keep everything on the healthier side, I used Ghee in combination with olive oil.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1/2 cup All purpose flour, Maida (dry pan roasted)<br />
3/4 cup sugar<br />
1 cup water<br />
pinch of cardamom powder<br />
1 tbsp cashews<br />
1 tbsp raisins<br />
3 tbsp ghee, clarified butter + 1 tbsp extra<br />
3 tbsp olive oil<br />
<br />
*Adding color is optional*<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Dry roast maida, APF in a pan on low heat, stirring continuously, till it starts to turn color to light brown. Remove from heat and keep aside.<br />
Melt Sugar in water on medium heat. Then turn down to low or sim. Add the pinch of cardamom powder.<br />
*You can add color to the sugar syrup if needed*<br />
In 1 tbsp of ghee, roast the cashews and raisins to light brown and keep aside.<br />
Put the maida back on medium heat.<br />
Add the 3 tbsp ghee and stirring continuously until its all absorbed into the flour.<br />
Add the 3 tbsp oil in a similar way, stirring continuously, it will seem gooey.<br />
Stirring again, add a ladle of sugar syrup slowly, one ladle at a time, giving it time to get absorbed while stirring continuously. Do this till all the syrup is done.<br />
If you prefer drier halwa, add lesser syrup.<br />
Add the roasted cashews and raisins and mix it up well.<br />
Serve warm or cold.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;">"Walk Through Memory Lane - Festival Theme"</span><br />
<br />
Hi everyone, I am here again guest hosting another event called 'Walk Through Memory Lane', brainchild of Gayathri of <a href="http://gayathriscookspot.blogspot.com/">Gayathri's Cook Spot</a>. A lovely event which takes you time back into your childhood days and reminds you of all the yummy food you enjoyed as a child.<br />
<br />
Here is a chance revisit them and recreate them in your kitchen. As with the festivals around the corner, I thought how about I choose the theme as <span style="color: #b45f06;">'Festival time'</span>. I know there are many dishes I would like to recreate, which I have enjoyed in my childhood with my brothers and sisters during festival time, which I haven't eaten much during recent times. It always fun to enjoy them now with my children.<br />

This is my first guest post. Sreevalli of <a href="http://ammajirecipes.blogspot.com/">Ammaji's recipes</a> was so kind to ask me to do a guest post long back. But due to my computer problems I didn't get a chance to get to it till now! Thanks Sreevalli for asking me to do it! :)<br />
I chose this simple sweet recipe for this special post called "Junnu". I am sure whoever has tasted this in the past would really like to revive this memory yet again.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLT0-BraXLG0SUKkpkiWJ4DHvacOrEDRcSOYRxPlZg26QcZxv9SEZmagqHmR9A6P8vzUdQCzQCobT57J7F7EAunlIMBTqPI7ZAwGesZRw9zcdw9S-BEnFrcU474BSCD1nj0VV0_FeYigM/s1600/Milk+pudding.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLT0-BraXLG0SUKkpkiWJ4DHvacOrEDRcSOYRxPlZg26QcZxv9SEZmagqHmR9A6P8vzUdQCzQCobT57J7F7EAunlIMBTqPI7ZAwGesZRw9zcdw9S-BEnFrcU474BSCD1nj0VV0_FeYigM/s640/Milk+pudding.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
The first milk of cattle after delivering a calf is called 'Junnu paalu' in our language, 'paalu' standing for milk.<br />
This is steam cooked with some jaggery and black pepper to make this awesome pudding known as 'Junnu'.<br />
Because of the thickness and creaminess of this milk, it forms a delicate pudding with a creamy texture without the addition of any other ingredients.<br />
Well this was in the times when the 'first milk' was readily available like in the villages or even in the city, when your milkman would bring 'Junnu paalu' and offer it to you for a nominal price.<br />
<br />
I have probably eaten the actual Junnu only once or twice in my lifetime, but the delicate taste has forever made a mark in my brain!<br />
Now during present times, its very rare that we can get 'Junnu Paalu'. So I tried to make this delicacy using the ingredients readily available to us and I think it came out perfect, absolutely just like the actual 'Junnu'.<br />
But I had to use eggs and so its not eggless like the actual and real 'Junnu'. Maybe some day that also will be possible. :)<br />
Its a very simple recipe which churns out this amazing and delicious Milk Pudding. The combination of jaggery and pepper in the real junnu is perfectly compensated by the sweetness is condensed milk and black pepper. The eggs bring out the right texture in the pudding, very close to the real one.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 can Sweetened Condensed Milk (14 oz)<br />
2 cups milk<br />
2 eggs<br />
pinch of black pepper<br />
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl along with eggs<br />
Grease a steel bowl ever so lightly with oil.<br />
Steam cook it in a pressure cooker for about 30 minutes.<br />
Remove and cool before flipping over onto a plate.<br />
Flip it twice to bring it right side up.<br />
Serve warm or cold.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

<br />
Days just fly by when kids are at home. Keeping them occupied and entertained is very big hassle which I guess every Mom faces! Same story goes with me. Especially my younger one....he either gets bored very soon or wants to do tons of stuff all at the same time. And so my struggles with him continue...in a sweet way!<br />
<br />
Its been a while I posted here...tho I want to post, time just passes me by!....Even tho I am hosting an event on my blog....I am not finding time to write up a post! I feel very bad that I am not able to post. Its not that I am not cooking, but I am, but just to write up and edit the pictures, its become difficult. Something or the other keeps me away from my Laptop.<br />
And then in between there are other stuff which have kept my mind in a turmoil!! I hope everything will be better by the end of summer. Let see...<br />
<br />
So in order to send something to my own event, I made this Sponge cake in a mug. I wanted to make this long ago, when I have seen the chocolate version making rounds in the blogosphere. Just to give it a little twist, I inserted Hershey's chocolate kisses to the center to give kids a sweet surprise. And who wouldn't love a cake made just under 2 minutes??<br />
<br />
<br />
For 2 mugs<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Ingredients:</span><br />
<br />
1/2 cup flour<br />
less than 1/4 cup sugar<br />
1/4 tsp baking powder<br />
1 egg<br />
3 tbsp butter<br />
pinch of salt<br />
1/4 tsp vanilla extract<br />
1/2 of 1/4 cup milk<br />
2 Hershey kisses for the interior for each mug<br />
<br />
{1 minute on high + 20-40seconds as needed. (on high power - 1000 watts)}<br />
<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Mix all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add in the wet ingredients and mix together.<br />
Pour in 2 microwave safe mugs until about 1/3 full.<br />
Put 2 Hershey's Kisses in the center, into the middle of the batter. they may not get covered completely but, when the batter cooks, they will get covered.<br />
Microwave on high (1000 watts) for a minute.<br />
[you will see the batter rise high and it will go back down again]<br />
After a minute, microwave for about 20 seconds and check if its done, otherwise microwave for another 20 seconds. Microwaving for too long will make the cake dry.<br />
Let it sit in the microwave for 2 minutes.<br />
Remove and its ready to be served. You can let it completely cool or eat it just so!<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

As always I have been missing in action :) But I am enjoying my days as my In-laws are here and days have gotten a bit busier than usual. As my daily schedule has changed a bit and we slowly getting used to it, school also got out for summer and with both kids at home hollering at each other and making as much sound as they possibly can, I surely can use a breather from both of them!<br />
<br />
Coming to the cooking, I am learning new recipes from my MIL and today's recipe is one of them. I am not sure how many people have eaten to tasted snake gourd in their life! It a very common vegetable in India, but here in US its not that common. Though Indian groceries carry them, they are sometimes not even worth to look at. I usually find them dry, shriveled and not at all worth buying. But whenever they do look fresh, I tend to buy them. I make a simple fry by chopping it into circles. There are couple more varieties of dishes we make out of it. But this recipe of my MIL is my favorite. Using coconut and yogurt along with snake gourd, it makes a very yummy and tasty combination.<br />
<br />
We call it Potlakaya perugu pachadi, but it can also be used as Snake gourd raita, since it is made of yogurt.<br />
It is best eaten with hot rice with a drop of ghee. But you can eat it with stuffed parathas where raita makes for a good side dish. Even with rotis and chapathis, it tastes delicious!<br />
The actual recipe calls for sour yogurt, but here it is substituted with a small piece of tamarind. If you don't want to use tamarind, go ahead and use a bit of lemon juice.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 small potlakaya / Snake gourd, about 7-8 inches long, cut into pieces<br />
1/4 cup fresh or frozen coconut<br />
15-20 green chillies (use according to your taste, more or less)<br />
2 garlic cloves, cut into pieces<br />
1/4 tsp jeera, cumin seeds<br />
<br />
1/2 cup yogurt<br />
some water as needed<br />
a small piece of tamarind (this can be substituted with lemon juice or totally skipped if the yogurt is sour)<br />
<br />
Tempering:<br />
<br />
2 cloves of garlic, chopped<br />
1/4 tsp Chana dal<br />
1/4 tsp urad dal<br />
1/4 tsp mustard seeds<br />
1/4 tsp jeera or cumin<br />
2 dry red chili, broken into pieces<br />
few curry leaves<br />
pinch of hing, inguva, asfoetida<br />
<br />
salt to taste<br />
1 tbsp oil<br />
1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves<br />
<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
In a small pot, add some water, the pieces of potlakaya, cover and cook until it is cooked, not soft but just cooked.<br />
Heat a few drops of oil, add the coconut and chilies and saute until the coconut starts to turn color. Remove aside and cool.<br />
When cooled, grind the coconut, chili, tamarind (optional), yogurt, cooked snake gourd, 2 cloves of garlic and 1/4 tsp jeera together.<br />
You don't have to grind it to smooth, just that you don't have any big pieces. It also shouldn't be of runny consistency. It should be thick and should have consistency like coconut chutney or tomato chutney.<br />
<br />
Now for tempering. In a small pot, add the remaining oil and heat. Add the garlic, chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds, jeera and let them splutter.<br />
Add the red chili, curry leaves and a pinch of hing. Saute for 10 seconds.<br />
Add this to the ground snake gourd yogurt mixture. Add salt to taste.<br />
Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and its ready to be served.<br />
Serve with hot rice with a drop of ghee. But it also yummy to eat with rotis or chapathis or even even hot hot savory pongal or katte pongali.<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

<br />
As the long weekend is here, I got some time to relax and enjoy at my mom's house. With my sis also coming over, the kids are enjoying with their pinni and babai! So now I get some time to really breathe, after a hectic last week. Having different kind of breakfasts every morning and then enjoying Mom's cooking too!<br />
Then again comes Monday...well this time its going to be Tuesday and time to fall back into routine of everyday chores and being a driver for the kids. Soon my In-laws will be here and also school vacation is going to start in less than 3 weeks, everything is going to go out of schedule! Late mornings to late bedtimes too! Well lets see what will happen then!<br />
<br />
One of the easy and fun breakfast are gunta ponganaalu. Its probably because of the shape and also just like dosas or idlis, they are very easy to make and also very versatile with the flavors you put into it.<br />
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
All you need is an aebelskiver pan or a gunta ponganaalu pan which is easy available in an Indian grocery store here in US. These are also called appam and a sweet version can also be made. </div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">
But for the breakfast, here is a savory one using instant oats as the key ingredient, which gives lots or fiber and is also light as using this pan, gives us a chance to use very less oil, making it also guilt free.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">This dish might be a new one many of you guys...as not many might know that we do get chicken sausage and that too without any casings (which is usually pork casing).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">Not many stores carry this tho! We have to look around to see where this is available. I get mine from Trader Joe's. Not all sausages in Trader Joe's are like that tho. So if you don't eat pork, carefully read the package to see if the sausage you are taking is 100% chicken with no casings.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">This recipe is actually from my Mom. She used to make this as a snack for us after coming from school. This slowly became our breakfast when we started cooking for ourselves. This being, kinda spicy and something which has protein, made for a good heavy morning breakfast which will kept us full til lunch time. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">The addition of Maggi hot and spicy sauce gives it a yummy and spicy taste to it, but the addition of regular ketchup balances it out! If you want it more spicy, add some chili powder. But you can surely customize it to how ever you like it!</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">Like I said before on my quinoa blogs..I fell in love with this grain, because of its closeness in taste to rice. Believe me it tastes so much like rice that you can eat it like rice everyday. Cooking it is not difficult and it is as versatile as rice, so we can make all the dishes we make with rice, with quinoa.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">Its high is fiber and protein and very good for you!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="color: #555555; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 20px;">Here is a simple preparation with all veggies to make a upma just like we do with ravva or semolina. This is very quick to make and if you use frozen cut veggies, it will be even ore simple. You get all the healthiness of veggies as well as quinoa.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 cup quinoa<br />
1 water (+ 1/4 cup if needed)<br />
<br />
<br />
1/4 tsp chana dal<br />
1/4 tsp urad dal<br />
1/4 tsp mustard seeds<br />
1/4 tsp jeera<br />
2 dry red chilies
<br />
1 tbsp cashews
<br />
<br />
<br />
1/2 onion<br />
1/2 tsp ginger
<br />
3 green chilis<br />
1/2 tomato<br />
1 cup of mixed veggies like carrots, beans, corn, peas<br />
<br />
<br />
1 tsp oil<br />
coriander leaves for garnish<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
Wash Quinoa and keep aside.<br />
Heat oil in a pot.<br />
Add chana dal, urad dal, mustard seeds and jeera. When they splutter, cashews, red chilies and curry leaves. Saute for a minute.<br />
Add onions, green chilies and ginger. Saute till onions turn color.<br />
Add tomato and let it cook down completely. Add the veggies and cook for 2 minutes.<br />
Add water and let it come to a boil.<br />
Lower the heat and add the quinoa. Cover and cook for about 20 minutes.<br />
Keep looking to see if the water has totally evaporated. If it did add more water.<br />
You will know it is fully cooked, when tails come out and quinoa becomes translucent.<br />
Fluff with a fork.<br />
Serve hot with chutney, pachadi or even podi!<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />

<br />
Huevos Rancheros is a Mexican dish which is served as breakfast. Its mostly served on a warm tortilla which is like a roti, topped with sauteed onions and tomatoes, which is then again topped with eggs.<br />
<br />
When I first time had it, topped with spicy sauce, it was just wonderful. Once a few months ago I saw clicks of a Naan pizza topped with paneer tikka...this led to me making this, which is so much easier and fun to eat in the mornings, more like a Sunday brunch item. I just made the curry as spicy like we Indians like it, with onions and tomatoes.<br />
<br />
The eggs I put on it a little on the runny side, if you like your eggs to be well done, just cook it to well done and then top it on the Naan.<br />
I used Trader Joe's Naan as my base, so that this thing will be ready in very less time. This is the easiest it can get, but if you want to try with freshly made naan , go ahead.<br />
You can also make it vegetarian by topping it with veggies instead of eggs, or go a step further and top it with chicken or mutton! I am sure everything will come out tasty!<br />

<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 naan<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 small onion chopped<br />
1 tomato, chopped<br />
1/2 tsp grated ginger<br />
1 green chili<br />
salt to taste<br />
1/4 tsp chilli powder<br />
pinch of turmeric<br />
1/4 tsp coriander powder<br />
1/4 tsp cumin powder<br />
1 tsp oil<br />
Chopped coriander leaves for garnish<br />
Chopped green onions for garnish<br />
<br />
Method:<br />
<br />
In a pan, heat the oil and add the onions, green chillies.<br />
When the onions are translucent, add the ginger and tomato, and cook till the tomato is soft.<br />
Add the salt, chili powder, turmeric, coriander powder and cumin powder. Mix well till combined.<br />
<br />
At this time, heat the naan according to package instructions (which may need pre-heating the oven, which you should do before cooking everything, you can put in the naan later)<br />
<br />
In a different pan, break open the eggs and fry till they are done. You can flip them and cook or leave them sunny side up. You can also fully cook them or leave them a little runny.<br />
<br />
When the Naan heats up, top it with the tomato mixture and then the eggs. Garnish with cilantro leaves and green onions.<br />
<br />
Serve hot. This can be eaten at breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!!!<br />
