Honey Wheat Fruit Muffins

The budget for this this financial year is all to be set out today..... Hopefully it would be a gifting budget as this is the last budget before the elections in the centre, due in 2014..... So I think there might not be much to worry about..... Already the prices of all the commodities have been sky rocketing and there are already much reasons to be concerned of.... 

Spinach Poriyal

 

I've not been able to update for the past few days due to my health conditions.... and now getting back to normal, I wanted to post this Spinach Poriyal... When I just scrolled down my posts, I was surprised to see that off-late I've posted quite a lot of recipes with one Green or the other.... I gave a pat on my back.... Healthy Cooking!!!!!!!!! The post today is a very simple one.... yet a healthy and delicious recipe...

Dal Palak Curry

I think you would have come across the photos of Balachandran Prabhakaran shot dead..... What a horrible scene.... that too showing that 12 year old boy eating snacks just minutes before he was shot dead was all the more horrorful.... Where is this world heading? What would have that boy known about the politics revolving around him? Who ever might have done it, there could never at all be any justification.....

Capsicum Curry

Do you know that capsicum is botanically a fruit, which are considered a vegetable in the same manner as tomatoes? They are also known as sweet pepper, paprika, bell pepper, jalapeno and chilli.... So if you hear any of these names, don't be confused, they are all the same colourful ones you shop in the market... As far as I searched round the net, I did not come across any differences in the health benefits depending on their color... they all are packed with the same nutritional values as their coloured counterparts except that the green ones are younger with a more intense flavour while the others are sweeter and milder, all suitable for eating either fresh or cooked.....

Blueberry Coulis topped Panna Cotta

Have you ever had panna cotta? If not, its high time you taste one..... This is one of the best desserts I've ever had... I came across this recipe in Edible Garden and since then I wanted to give it a try.... but postponed it as it involved cream and sugar which he totally avoids..... so making it for myself and having to not share it, though an idea at its best.... but in action, the thought of all calories for one person, held myself back.... So when we invited friends for dinner, at once this dessert popped into my head.... and there I was completely overjoyed with the outcome..... Everyone loved it.... and it was a hit at home....
