Lemon Quinoa/Quinoa Lemon Pulihora



Quinoa is a gluten free grain(technically seed) contains 14 grams of protein /100 gms.This seed can be cooked same like rice and its a great substitute.

Now a days,I make most of the rice dishes with quinoa and one such frequently made is lemon quinoa.

Its so simple and tastes excellent when it pairs up with simple potato fry or chips.I also added some fresh green peas which gives a nice crunch and taste.

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
