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.

Cauliflower Masala/Gobi Masala - No tomato Version

Coming to day 2 recipe for the blogging marathon#62,themed under no tomato gravy is a rich and creamy cauliflower aka gobi masala. As my family loves cauliflower,so it appears in my kitchen frequently in some form.I tried this cauliflower curry without tomato and used yogurt and cashews paste.The result was such an awesome and creamy curry. The chilly powder I used was bit spicy so the curry was in the spicier side so squeezed some lemon juice in the end.So adjust the spice level according to your family preference.Lets move on to the recipe.........                                                                                                                     ...
