Today being Sankranti, I wanted to post something traditional that we often make during festivals at home. When I was browsing through my recipes, I realised that I haven’t shared the recipe for pulihora yet. So, I immediately decided to make this for lunch today along with Aloo-Jeera and curd/dahi 🙂 ‘Pulihora’ or chitrannam is […]

Methi Rice/Pulao (Menthikoora annam)
Today, I am sharing another easy lunch-box recipe – Methi rice. This is very similar in preparation to peas pulao with the only difference being adding some tomatoes to cut the strong flavor of the methi and some corn kernels for a sweet bite. This is easy and quick to prepare and can be served […]
Ginger Chutney – for vada/dosa/idly
When I shared my recipe for vada/garelu, I mentioned that I would be sharing the recipe for ginger chutney soon, so here it is 🙂 Ginger chutney goes excellent with medu vada/garelu and also with any south Indian breakfast like dosa and idly. The sweet and tanginess matches very well with the intense flavor of […]
Bean Tostadas (Mexican filling in edible tortilla cups)
Whenever we go out for dinner or lunch during weekends, one very favorite eatout option on my mind would be Chico Mexico. I love their quesadillas, tacos, gumbo and more importantly their mini platter option – Bean Tostadas. Ever since, I ate this, it became my favorite and I have this atleast once a month. […]
Onion Chutney (Ullipaya Pachadi) – For idly/dosa

Healthy Oats Patties (For Burgers/Sandwiches)
We all love burgers and sandwiches. They make for a quick bite and a variation from the regular meal options. But, regular store-bought patties often are loaded with lots of starch and are high in calories. Also, most of them need to be deep-fried which is not a very healthy option too. So, why not […]
Healthy Broken Wheat Upma (Godhuma Rava or Lapsi Upma)
Broken wheat upma or godhuma rava upma is made from cracked wheat which is a very healthy form of regular sooji (semolina)upma. Broken wheat upma is high on fibre and makes for a healthy dinner option too. I use broken wheat in many forms – instant oats dosa, instant uttappam and even for cakes. Broken […]
Aloo(Potato)-Onion Curry for Indian Poori/Roti
Yesterday, I shared the recipe for making Indian Pooris/puffed bread served with a simple Potato/aloo curry. So, as mentioned in that post, today I am sharing my recipe for the curry. This is a very basic and easy curry to make with no masala powders or spices added. All the flavor comes from the ginger […]
