Banana Milkshake


Milkshake is one of those recipes, one would love to make at anytime of the day b'cos of its simple handy ingredients. Yet it has no compromise on its taste...... and is divinely relishing..... Yesterday when I saw my couple of bananas pulling on a brown wrapper.... the first thought that struck me, was  to dunk them in milk... and yes it upheld the magic.... they were all into tummies in no time... with not even a trace of the yellow fruit...

Shortbread Cookies


So, Christmas has now slipped under the year wheel after the fabulous celebrations...... Yesterday was a day full of shopping for me....... With plenty of 'Boxer Day Deals', I started the day very early...... my first purchase was a headset..... and then it went on and on.... even after lunch..... the greatest purchase was the one very close to my heart..... the one I've been longing for years..... Guess what????????? Yes, it was a Canon DSLR...... It was his gift for the year...... and I loved so much...... Yet to kick it off......

Chocolate Brownie


I have never had a brownie in my life, but when I saw it in Lite Bite, I badly wanted to try it not only because of its wonderful shots but also, since it carried a 'healthy factor' in it..... To top it all, it was quite simple and easy to give a try..... Lite Bite is one of my most favourite blogs... what mesmerizing shots..... WOW....... Those pictures are one of my greatest inspirations in food photography....

Eggless Blueberry Pancakes


I'm not such a big fan of pancakes... But after seeing them in Edible Garden, I wanted to try them. Since I already had the ingredients at hand, I made them for my breakfast and I should say 'I totally fell in love with them'..... and that too with maple syrup, they tasted divine.....

Butter Croissants


Have you ever tasted a butter croissant? If you say 'No' then I would say that you haven't had the golden touch of God..... yes, this is one of the best baked items you will ever have tasted.... When I had it for the first time.. (it was only after coming here..) I totally fell in love with it.... It just melted down my mouth.... and ever since then, I have never missed a chance of having it....

Strawberry Smoothie


With the summer popping up, there are boxes and boxes of strawberries in my fridge..... I make a smoothie, a milkshake, a pudding....... and sometimes just sit down with a box on my couch and enjoy them as such....... So I thought of posting this strawberry smoothie recipe today..... Loads of strawberry recipes are yet to come!!!!!!!!!! Though you can simply taste them in any Mc Foods.. the one that you prepare at home with a fresh bunch of strawberries is n match to any that are readily available.... So just go ahead and make some...

Chocolate Cupcakes


So... how was the weekend? Mine was good. The interesting part was that we had an unplanned Sunday restaurant lunch.... Went searching for a Chinese dine (it was not planned, I told!!!!).... most of them were closed.... being Sunday... and not ready to settle for anything else other than a chinese item... atlast we found 'Satay Noodle House' open..... had a yummy yummy 'Satay Fried Rice' followed by a double scoop of White Chocolate Rasberry and a Chocolate Brownie icecream at Wendy's.... what else could make a Sunday more merrier? Now on to the recipe at place......

Brinjal Rice


Vangi bath..... nothing but the Brinjal rice.... the one I hardly do... as I'm not a fan of eggplants. My most favorite dish with eggplants is 'Kathirikai Kosthu', the one we usually do as an accompaniment for biriyani's....I think that landed up as my favorite mostly b'cos of the biriyani :-))) Now on to this recipe... It is a lunchbox recipe and quite interesting to have it along with vadams... The original source of this recipe is from Rak's Kitchen, one of my adorable bloggers.... Do give it a try.....

Jeeraka Kuzhambu


I saw 'The Hours' today.... The movie was quite good.... but I think I'm getting obsessed with Meryl Streep.... what an actor............. unbelievable.... Now I've started to look out more for her movies... Yes I'm completely mesmerised with her performance skills.... how could an actor do hundred percent justice to the character or even more!!! I was first taken aback by watching her in'The Devil wears Prada', then 'Doubt' followed by 'Its Complicated', 'Mamma Mia', 'Julie and Julia'........ and list is on and on.... Now lets just jump on to the recipe before I just go on....... on my admiration for her.....

Strawberry Muffins


Now, being summer here........ its the season of strawberries........... strawberry, strawberry, strawberry... all over the place. Last weekend I bought two boxes to start with... I had a whole lot of strawberry recipes to be tried out but I ended up with only one box the next day (I couldn't resist eating them fresh ;-)... So I thought it was high time I started baking these muffins....

Paasiparuppu Payasam



Payasam is believed to be the food of the Gods.... and I think its true to the core.... not only because of its richness but also b'cos of the flavour they carry along filling the home with divinity..... I bet there couldn't be none who hate it... Payasams are the last golden touch of every rich meal.... Since it was our wedding day, I made this paasiparuppu payasam... The celebration was complete with it....

Masala Vadai



Ohhhhhh Masala Vadai.......... it makes me remember all the festive time I spent at home along with my sister..... Mom used to make vadai for almost every 'ammavasai' along with the payasams. The menu will mostly be the same, but the ingredients keep on changing every month.... Of all, my favorite was this masala vadai ;-)) We normally skip breakfast on those days (if it is a holiday...)...

Beans Poriyal



Today I saw 'Death at a Funeral'..... It was quite a good enjoyable movie... This post is a very simple one which takes hardly 10 mins to travel from stove-top to table.... Since it does not carry any spices, it goes well with pulikuzhambu or any other dish rich in spices.....

Palak Roti


So 'Sweet November' is over..... Here comes the best part of the year..... the final month of '12.... So how was the weekend? Yesterday I tried making meat ball gravy and it ended up a total disaster... all the meat balls became indistinguishable after they bounced into the curry..... so this has become a challenge for me... I have decided not to give up and very soon I would make them perfect again and post in here..... 
For dinner, I had some left over palak leaves in my fridge and decided to incorporate them into my roti's.... and yeah!!!!!!!!!!! they had the wonderful green tint on them along with all their 'healthy' tags......... I did not add in any spices as I had a spicy cauliflower gravy to go along with it.....
