Rainbow Cupcakes | Kids Party Special


When i bought blue food colour  a year back my plan was to make  rainbow cake or cup cake but it never happened.All needs a time for it to happen  and my long awaited plan happened last week when i baked this cup cakes for an evening snack.It was fun to work with colours and kids enjoy mixing it.I adapted this recipe from allrecipes with slight changes in the ingredients.I don't have red food colour hence used strawberry pink also while mixing for purple i made more blue colour then mixed some pink and got a darkest shade of green.Be careful while adding colours.Do try this your kids.

Quail / Kadai Egg Masala | Side dish for Roti /Naan (Indian Flat Bread)

quail egg masala

Last Friday when we went to a wholesale egg shop i saw a board saying "Kadai egg is available here" and was curious to ask the details about it.When asked he showed a small box with 12 cute eggs and i immediately bought a box.Ever since i bought that my son was eagerly waiting for recipe to be done with it.While searching web i found that this egg type though small in size has nutritional values three or four times greater then normal eggs.Unlike chicken eggs,quail eggs does not cause any allergies and helps in fighting those allergy symptoms.When i made this gravy/masala it tasted too good and i decided to but it often.
