Carrot Raita | Easy raita Recipe

carrot raita

Temperature is steadily increasing day by day and it has become difficult to with stand the heat.To say the truth I don't feel to cook anything these days and you can clearly see that I my blog where I posted very few recipes this month.If this happens now means can't imaging how it would be in April-may , when summer is peak.Try to drink more water and keep yourself hydrated ,avoid more spices in curries/gravies and make more meals with vegetables than meats.

Gobi Manchurian (Dry Version) | How to make gobi/cauliflower manchurian

gobi manchurian
Cauliflower is one of the seasonal  vegetable which is grown from a seed.The white head part is alone eaten.Its one vegetable which has an array of nutrients including minerals,vitamins,antioxidants and other phytochemicals.For weight watcher's this vegetable comes in handy as its not a starchy vegetable and high in natural fibres.One can have it as a salad, soup, cooked with other vegetables or as pot meal where it is cooked with rice and spices.
One major issue while dealing with this flower is that it has minute germs or insects hidden inside the florets.So great care has to be taken to remove it before making any preparation by letting it to be in hot water for a few minutes. If these germs are not removed it may cause stomach upset/poisoning.

Strawberry Preserve /Jam | Easy Homemade Strawberry Jam

strawberry preserve

Before strawberries vanish from the market, I want to use them to the maximum.My long term wish was to make this preserve that without any preservatives or pectin..With just three ingredients you can make this preserve and store in a  refrigerator for future use as spread over bread/roti or to make milkshakes,etc.Here made it with chopped pieces  so as to get some chunky pieces while bitting but you can also blend it for finer version.Here I havSo do try this soon before these berries say bid adieu this year.
