Muskmelon Juice | Summer Drink



Muskmelon is one fruit which we can see plenty during summer.We can see this fruit almost along all roadside shops , eat outs, juicers selling this to make sure people keep them hydrated and cool during the peak heat hours.The fruit is sweet by itself and no further addition of sweetener is needed.But if feeding for children then definitely add some sugar to enhance the taste.I  buy this and watermelon often and see that my kids are comfortable with the scorching heat.

Keema Pasta | Shell pasta with minced meat | Easy Dinner Recipe



Keema pasta with step by step instructions.Keema is nothing but minced meat which is readily available in the market.My daughter is an ultimate foodie who loves to taste variety of food and its for her interest in food I started trying new recipes.She was longing for this keema for a long time and I just delayed it since I'm not comfortable with it as I had never cooked or tasted it. For when my husband, who also a great cook, was on holiday during December she conveyed her wish for keema to him.You know what must have happened then, my hubby bought a pack for it the next day and prepared a delicious pasta for dinner and my part in it is just clicking.

Mochai sundal | Field Beans Sundal | Snack recipe


When I blogged about the kara kuzhambu using mochai I have mentioned about making a sundal with the leftover soaked beans and this it that recipe.Making sundal is quite easy just pressure cook the soaked beans, temper with spices and freshly grated coconut and serve hot.Not any fancy ingredients used to make sundal. But here in this sundal variety I slightly changed by adding an roasted spice powder to give a flavorful twist to the normal sundal.I googled many recipes, got some ideas from it and did this.Do try this version and I"m sure you will love it.

Cranberry Cream Popsicle | Cranberry juice-cream popsicle | Summer Recipes


Cranberry is one fruit which i had never seen ,yes in my part of the world its possible to see many berries or fruits so I don't know the exact shape or taste except that I see in internet that it look like small plum.To know the taste of the fruit we would buy the tetra packet juice commonly avaliable in market but only God knows the reality of the juice as they sell it as real juices.

Mochai Kara Kuzlambu | Dry Field Beans Curry | Chettinad Kara Kuzlambu




Field Beans knows as " mochai" in Tamil is available in two form dry and fresh.To say the truth I never ever had mochai in my life time.Whenever I go for vegetable shopping  I have seen the vendor selling the fresh variety of it but never dare to buy it and try once. But when I hear dialogues in Tamil films conserving about " mochai kottai kuzhmabu", I immediately get tempted and my mouth salivate.To check for the taste of it I bought a pack of this dried beans long back in November last year  but didn't try any as blogging was bit dragging from my side during that time.At last two week before i tried this curry and tasted for the first time and it was like normal kuzhambu/ gravy with the cooked beans in it.The curry it was so filling with rice and you don't need any side dish for it. I have some left over from the soaked beans and thinking of doing sundal with it.
