Spinach Raita /Spinach Dip with Yogurt


One of the easiest way to include veggies in diet is making raita or pachadi.I like to eat raita along with my meal.Raita is a refreshing accompaniment especially for the summer and it makes the body cool,aids digestion.

This spinach raita is extremely delicious,refreshing ,creamy and a wonderful addition to a spicy meal.The use of roasted cumin powder adds a punch and flavor to the raita.Here I used the regular yogurt and it came out creamy and luscious.If you want your raita to be extremely creamy and rich use the greek yogurt.

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
