Macaroni Upma/Pasta Upma


Upma is always a big no in my house but this one and the idly upma is exceptional.My son who is a picky eater and doesn't like to take Indian lunch box dishes likes this fusion upma.As he prefers pasta without cheese and pasta sauce I make masala pasta and upma once in a while for his lunch box.
Coming to the recipe,I exactly followed the rava upma recipe,instead I used the elbow shaped pasta.

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
