Kollu Podi/Horse gram Powder

For the day 6 of Blogging Marathon#16, I made very healthy and flavorful kollu podi which can be mixed with rice as well as goes well with idly.
Kollu is a kind of bean which is a good source of iron,protein and has lots of  health benefits such as reducing cholesterol,helps in weight reduction and remedy for cold and cough.
This is a very simple and easy to make podi and can be stored fresh for a month.Here goes the recipe....

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
