Thinnai Idli | Foxtail Millet Idli | Healthy Recipe

Thinnai Idli | Foxtail Millet Idli | Healthy Recipe


Thinnai/Foxtail millet idli with step by step pictures.


Foxtail millet idli is a healthy breakfast option in place of regular idli. I have tried idli with other millet, but in all, I have used some rice to make the batter. But in this millet idli I haven't used any rice and yet the idli turned soft. Some other idli recipes in my space include ragi instant idli, fermented ragi idli, kodo millet idli,  etc.

Sweet Potato Dinner Buns | Thanksgiving Recipe

Sweet potato dinner rolls with step by step pictures.


It had been a quite long time since I baked bread/buns at home. I remember, a month before I baked a mini-sized choco filled buns and posted on my Instagram page. I couldn't post that in my blog as I did n't take step by step pictures. So last week when I had a piece of sweet potato I decided to try dinner rolls with it and it came out well.

Rabri | How to make Rabri | Indian Dessert


Rabri is an Indian dessert made with milk, sugar, saffron, and nuts. The recipe will somewhat look similar to basundi which also have similar ingredients. In basundi, the sweetened milk is thickened and served with nuts. But here in rabri, it is thickened by scrapping the sides of the pan and the end product may look little grainy. In Basundi it will be smoothy when compared to rabri. In this festive make this easy dessert and relish with family.

Tamarind Rice | Lunch Box Recipe


Tamarind rice recipe with step by step pictures.


I have seen in many blogs about the tamarind rice in which they add some freshly ground masala powder. But in this recipe, no such fresh masala powder is added and quite easy and simple to make without many processes. Mostly we pack this rice for our long train travel as it never gets spoiled soon unlike other rice. Roasted red chilly-coconut thogayal is the best pair for this rice variety.

Paruppu thogayal with step by step pictures.

Simple lentils thogayal is a easy dip which can be mixed with hot steaming rice along with ghee. One can make this dip with coconut also. But here I didn't use any coconut. Yesterday when I was lazy to make any kuzhambu for rice I made this thogayal , mixed up with rice and had my lunch. It was super tasty and easy to make. I tried to capture a quick video with my mobile.

Green Peas Kachori | Mattar Stuffed Kachori


Green peas kachori with step by step pictures.

Whenever I buy kachori from any chat shop my first thought that would come will be soon I must try and blog about it. But it never happened. Last month one day I decided to try this in spite of all laziness for snacks. Both my kids loved to have it along with green chutney and sauce. Give a try and I'm damn sure you will love it. This is somewhat similar to samosa except for the shape.
