Today I am posting a recipe for Wheat Roti/Adai. When we say wheat roti, immediately we think it as Chappathi but this is not a chappathi. We use to call it as Gothuma Roti in our home but with the texture and cooking process we can also call it as Adai. It is a very easy recipe and can be prepared for both Breakfast and Dinner. This can be prepared in any size, I prepared a small but it can also be prepared bigger than this. Wheat roti is a soft one by texture and adding fried dhal & Onions to the roti gives very nice flavour and taste. Coconut chutney is the best side dish for this.

Today I am posting the recipe for Rava dosai.One of the top ordered food item in hotels.Most of us won't prepare this recipe in home so it hits the top list.I never thought of preparing this when I was in Chennai, but after coming here to Sweden I am simply sitting in home so have time to think about preparing different dishes. I referred manjula's kitchen and prepared this dosa few days before, Since it was my first time I don't know how it comes out so I didn't take any picture, But yeah it came out very well and it is a big hit . So this time prepared with same proportions as before and the outcome is also same as before and this time took pictures to share with you guys. This dish goes well with coconut chutney and kaara chutney. I prepared only kaara chutney this time.You can prepare this Rava dosa as breakfast/evening snack/dinner.
Ven pongal a popular breakfast recipe in tamilnadu.It is very easy to prepare and tastes too good if we do it in a correct way.At first time I cooked this recipe along with my friends, when we were staying together it was good in taste but not so perfect, this I came to know when I had a ven pongal in sangeetha restaurant in my office cafeteria. After my marriage few times I prepared this recipe few but every-time in different method, I felt something is missing ever time.After coming here to sweden I read so many blogs on this recipe and finally I got a comment from Sri saying "hey, do you remember how you prepared this recipe in earlier times, it is too good now, I can see a great improvement in your pongal" Whoa!! What else I need, so happy now :).Ven Pongal goes well with sambar and Medhu vadai.

In this fast world, everybody wants to finish their tasks quickly and to carry on with other task. In a family if both husband and wife is working then it is very difficult to prepare variety of dishes, why to go for variety we may feel difficult to prepare just a simple breakfast, It happened in my family too. Not always but sometimes we both use to get up late, no time to prepare breakfast and so we have breakfast and lunch in hotels/cafeteria. (There are some people who use to skip their breakfast because of no time)
In those days no one is there for me to tell some tricks / tips to follow to avoid visiting hotels at least for breakfast.
Adai Dosa a healthy breakfast recipe, which is made of Rice and Lentils. Lentils are rich in soluble fiber, which also lowers blood cholesterol as it
gives you that full feeling you need to avoid temptation and help with
weight loss. Not only healthy but also a very tasty and easy recipe. It can be prepared very easily and you can give a different variety recipe to your family.
Today I am sharing a recipe which can be prepared with fresh Idli or left over Idli. Usually we prepare Idli Uppma with left over idli's, so for a change I tried this recipe and it came out very well. Kara Podi Idli can be prepared with very limited Ingredients. Best snack for evening hunger I hope. Mouthwatering when I think of picking each Idli with fork & munching it accompanying with hot tea or coffee while watching TV. Try it in your kitchen and provide me a feedback :)
Today I am sharing a recipe for Naan, we usually have this in Restaurants, never thought that I will make Naan at Home :) but I did it now. The preparation is very easy but you should be clear with the exact proportions to get a nice fluffy Naan. There is more than one way of preparing Naan, Ingredients can also differ. Here in my recipe I used Yeast and Curd to prepare Naan , Yeast can be replaced with Baking powder and Curd can be replaced with Egg.
In this fast world everybody's expectation is to get everything instantly, no one is ready to think whether it is good or bad. Most of us advice others to intake fruits, vegetables and juices to become healthy, but we will not follow this.How many of you agree this? Mostly everyone. I am not an exception. I have a habit of reading articles, forums and news related to healthy life. Few months ago I had a chance to read an article about Miracle Drink. It was amazing, am very much surprised to know how much benefits we are getting from this drink.
Vinayagar Chathurthi, the first thing which comes to our mind is Kozhukattai :). Lord Ganesha's Favorite dish, not only for him Kozhukattai is most of our favorite dish.You may think, this is not Ganesha festival season then why she is talking about Kozhukattai.Yes, In many homes they prepare Kozhukattai only on Vinayagar Chathurthi day.But my mom prepares Kaara (Spicy) Kozhukattai as breakfast recipe on normal days and serves it with coconut chutney,it tastes very good.
I added few more ingredients with Kara(spicy) Kozhukattai recipe and prepared Masala Kozhukattai, the aroma, flavor and taste was too good.We had this Kozhukattai as tea time snack So I didn't prepare any chutney. But you can have this for breakfast along with coconut chutney.
