Chala meen fry /சால மீன் வறுவல் | Sardine Fish fry | Mathi Meen Vaaruval


 Fish is one of our staple food and at least for a meal we use to have this.My husband can't eat a meal without it,but my children are not that much interested in it and for me its not that necessity i can manage with anything.Sometimes my kids prefers fish fry rather than kuzhambu/gravy so i make mostly fry with fish.I don't make my fish fry so hectic with more ingredients where else it will be very simple.Do try this easy fry which we had for lunch yesterday along with rasam and brinjal thooku.

Sweet Lassi | Summer Drink


Temperature in Chennai is gradually raising since 21st May and its very difficult to bear it.As our apartment in the top most in our building its really becoming tough to be in day time and to work in kitchen.I prefer quick meals during these days and keep us hydrated with more fluids rather  than spicy one.This lassi is one of the famous north Indian drink.To say the truth i have never tasted lassi in any shop/restaurant.Its because of this blog i enjoy trying and indulging it.

We all know apple is the healthiest food a person can eat.As the saying goes ,an apple a day keeps doctor away.There are many variety of apples and red apple id the most common one which is sweet whereas there are some variety which are sour and this green apple falls to that category.Green apple has many health benefits than the red one but many hesitate to eat it as it is sour.I too don't like its taste but when i made this spiced version i totally enjoyed it.
