Rice Thattai | Crispy Thattai | Festive Snack Recipe | Step by Step

Rice Thattai | Crispy Thattai | Festive Snack Recipe | Step by Step

Here I'm with another festive snack you can easily try.Last week my son felt stomach discomfort and I picked him back from school when I received the call.It happened twice and the main reason for it is over intake of junk food.He was advised to avoid packed foods which are very difficult for him.When he is little okay he was tempted to eat and so had little and the problem started again. He is very fond of chicken and counting days to eat it. Following him, we too decided to go with the same menu that we cook for him which will be veggies platter. I have planned to start the non-veggies meal next weekend as my daughter's birthday falls the month-end.

Pista Halwa | Rich Pischio Halwa | Festive Sweet Recipe


Nuts are rich in good cholesterol which is essential for the good function of our human body.But many avoid eating nuts feeling that will gain weight .This is not true actually good cholesterol does not help in weight gain only the bad cholesterol from refined oil  make us obese.When I was watching a TV channel I heard Jamie Oliver saying,  a handful of nuts like walnuts,pistachio and badam a day help to increase your lifespan by two years. So lets eat in limit and stay healthy.

Homemade Rice Flour | Rice Flour for Indian snacks | Arisi Mavoo DIY


Rice flour is the key ingredients for all snacks and some breakfast recipes.Though it is easily available in all departmental and small shops there is always joy in making our own stuff .I have seen my mom making this rice flour in a big batch and storing it for months to be used in puttu,idiyappam, kozhukattai and snacks.At the early stage of my family life, I never made them but  later  I realized its importance and started making them in big batch which comes in handy when no there was no ground dough in the  refrigerator.As festivals are fast approaching hope this post will help you.

Papaya is a super healthy fruit which one should never omit.This fruit is good for diabetic people also.I have seen my FIL eating this fruit fresh from the backyard after morning beverage and he used to always say fruit before breakfast is always good for health.But nowadays making children eat a fruit is really a tough job and parent has to find an alternative way for it.
