We generally consume wheatgrass juice in empty stomach weekly once whenever they are available in the market as they contain huge amount of chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder. This is one such grass which I can get easily in many shops in Singapore be it wet market or fair price. Wheatgrass juice combined with tamarind and cooked with tomatoes,rasam powder and finally tempered with spices gives this healthy wheatgrass rasam. I choose wheatgrass mainly because of the chlorophyll which neutralizes toxins, controls blood sugar related problems and also helps to purify the liver. Since all of us dont like the taste of plain wheat grass juice, particularly kids, I add them in my dishes and rasam is one such dish where I add the juice.

Suzhiyam or boorelu is a traditional dish made Tamilnadu& Andhra for many festive occasions. Not all sweets need to be made from sugar & jaggery. With the rise in numbers of diabetes all over the world we need to start looking for alternative sweet content in our traditional dishes. This dish made out of dry fruits & nuts dipped in black rice batter is perfect for any occasion.

Very easy and tasty

Generally I do the traditional ada pradhaman but this time I wanted to give a twist the original recipe and it became a super hit at my home. The natural creamy texture of Avocado makes the recipe so rich along with the Ada and it tasted good in both the versions. Those who are allergic to milk can have this dessert without any guilt by omitting the milk part. Avocado must be completely ripened. I generally put them for a day or two in my rice container so that it is ripened in the perfect way. You may feel free to include the nuts of your choice in this dish.

Thai Jasmine rice cooked along with lemon grass and cardamom gives this flavorful “Lemongrass Rice”.I had this recipe when we went to Thailand and loved it the very first time. While cooking the house was filled with so much fragrance and we could not differentiate if it’s the smell of jasmine or lemongrass or cardamom. None of them override the flavor or smell of the other. The dish goes well with any thai curries.

Today is the first time I am trying my hands on pancakes. I always wonder how to make them; I always feared that what if they come out to be bad or not tasty. So this fear has always been in my mind and that is why I never got myself making them. Trust me no one in my family knew how to make them but yes when we were kids Maa use to make those sweet pooda which I guess is similar to pancake. Though I never liked them in my childhood, I was never a sweet tooth girl. I have been planning to make pancakes since a month now. So today I woke up in the morning and decided on to make them. Most of the weekends I am occupied with household chores, today I was relatively free in the morning and decided to experiment with pancakes. Oh! I never knew I could make them so easily and beautifully. Last week, I tried making blueberry cheese cake and unfortunately I ended up spoiling it. When I was de-moulding it, the whole cake fall down on the kitchen slab and turned into a mess. I was really scared this time too, but then thought, if the failures are not there how one could realize the importance of achievement. With this thought, I started collecting the things from my Kitchen. I wanted to have the taste of blueberries in my pancakes, as I just love them for their enormous health benefits. I took out my blueberry sauce which I made for my cheese cake last week and also frozen ones as well. This recipe is inspired by Smittenkitchen’s blueberry pancakes. For my version I am using a mix of Raagi flour and all-purpose flour. First all the dry ingredients like flour, salt, sugar, baking powder, baking soda to be mixed together. Then comes the wet ingredients; lightly beaten eggs & buttermilk is poured in the mixture to form a light batter.

Salads are always good, very healthy but it sounds boring to everyone so it's a challenge to make people eat salads with a smile on their faces .... But these cucumber bites will not only make them happy but they will ask for more .... For parties it will be a great hit .... so guys try this....

Who doesn't like junk and unhealthy food ? Well everything served outside is not suppose to be unhealthy. I am a die heart foodie but somehow or the other i don't enjoy these branded junk foods much. I very rarely crave for Pizza, Burger etc, hence i am a very rare visitor at these places who serve these stuffs. But like any other child, my son Abeer is total opposite to me. He loves to indulge himself into all such so called 'junk foods' and i won't be surprise if he choose to live on them forever. So because of my son, both me and my husband keep going to such places once or twice in a month. After Dominos and Pizza Hut, Abeer has now fallen in for Mc Donald's. In his words its his most favorite food joint that serves him world's best Burgers and Puffs. Now after such a bold statement, i had to try some Puffs too. Lined pastry sheet pockets filled with a saucy paneer and bell pepper filling was really something worth spending money. Yes, I won't deny, i loved it completely and had a lot of them.

Masala papad cones is a very very simple and quick Indian snack recipe. All Indian homes have 1 or more types of papad at home so this is a very interesting twist to use papad as a snack.

Bansi Rava - Urad dal Porridge / Kanji is an easy and healthy breakfast option during busy days. One glass of this delicious porridge will make our tummy full and also controls our hunger. Instead of bansi rava, wheat rava or samba rava can also be used. This goes delicious with raw onion or kara kuzhambu.

If you are looking for some interesting whole chicken recipes for parties or get together, then try this easy and delicious grilled chicken stuffed with potatoes and roasted along with cherry tomatoes and sliced onion. I have placed bacon on top of the chicken so that the fat from bacon melts and roast the chicken beautifully and the additional butter is to enhance the taste and crispiness of the chicken. The juice from the stuffed lemon also gives a lovely flavor and it is optional. This can be served with any flavored dip or mint curd chutney.

My encounter with them,was not love at first. Yes, it was an arranged one. My family are in much love with Mango but I wasn't wooed by them. Gradually, got attracted towards them as for the whole season my house would be full with boxes,Varieties and the AROMA of Mango. Mom,Dad and Shri are patriots of different Mango Varieties, the catch is I get to taste all of them.
