Chicken Soup - South Indian Style


 As we are approaching winter,the weather is getting colder day by day and we had our first snowfall yesterday.The cold weather calls for some light and hot foods,so prepared this yummy chicken soup and had it for our lunch.

Coming to the recipe,its a typical South Indian style with  the flavor of black pepper and other spices..A simple freshly ground spice powder is used to enhance the aroma of the soup.
This soup can be made in less than 30 minutes in a pressure cooker.Its a very comforting soup and I make it often in winter or kids get cold.Here I have used the boneless chicken,as my kids love,tender and soft chicken pieces in their soup.

I am running in the 94th edition of Blogging Marathon,Dish under 30 minutes,as theme.Needless to say this soup is one such dish,fits for the theme.Try this simple and yummy chicken soup and enjoy the winter.

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.                                                                                                                                  ...
