Strawberry Yogurt | Fresh Strawberry Yogurt


I can have yogurt/curd as much as like it but this fruit-flavored was new to me when we went aboard on our last vacation.There I tried few varieties of it by my husband's suggestion.Back home at that time, we couldn't see much of this flavored yogurt in the market but now these are flooded in the market by various brand names.

Carrot Halwa | Gajar Ka Halwa | Indian Sweet



Carrot Halwa with step by step pictures.

I wanted to try this easy carrot halwa long before and post it as my 1000th post but somehow it didn't happen since that time this red carrot/Delhi carrot was not in season.  I particularly was to try halwa using red carrot only. As now these carrots are in season and mainly the vendor where I buy my veggies had this carrot with no second thought I bought it to make this dessert.

Tempered Tapioca | Kappa Thalichathu



I love tapioca/kappa very much.Whatever the form I can have it all day for three meals.Back in my native, we get a very good variety which has a different taste that of those we get here in Chennai.Some years back when we went to Kerala for a short trip we got some stem from my hubby's friend house and I planted it in sac on our terrace which yielded some amount of kappa.This December also I got some stem and have planted it.Good thing is that it has sprouted and new leaves have started shooting up.Will post pictures later.

Avaram Poo Tea &Health Benefits | Tanner's Cassia tea

Avaram Poo Tea &Health Benefits | Tanner's Cassia tea

Avaram Poo, called Tanner's Cassia in English, avarike in Kannada, tamgedu in Telugu, commonly found in dry regions of India and Srilanka.This tea is full of antioxidants.While browsing I learned that in the olden days, when people walked for a long distance under the hot sun, they used to carry a bundle of avarampoo (Tanner's - Cassia in English) on their heads to keep their body cool and prevent the body from getting dehydrated. If even keeping the flowers on the head prevents dehydration, just imagine how hydrated the body will be when you take it internally.
