Punjabi Mini Thali - Green Peas Masala


For day 2 themed under the Thali in Blogging Marathon#74 edition is a mini Punjabi thali.
Punjabi cuisine is the most likely Indian cuisine among my kids.As most of their favorite dishes in this cuisine.
When I wanted to share the Punjabi thali,decided to do an elaborate one.But due to other personal work, I made a mini thali.

The mini thali has

1.Butter naan
2.Matar/green peas Masala(recipe follows)
3.Jeera rice
4.Dhal
5.Raitha with onion,carrot and tomato
6.Punjabi PanchrangaaPickle(store bought)
7..Gajar ka Halwa/Carrot halwa
8.Sweet lassi

I often make this creamy green peas masala  to pair up with either rotis or naan.This recipe of green peas masala tastes good even without cream and milk.Since I had some cream I used it for just garnishing sake.Lets move on to the recipe............

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
