Make The Best Wedding Day Cookies

Mixed bean pulao is a delectable one pot delicacy,in which rice is cooked along with mixed beans and mild spices. It is a well balanced and fulfilling dish,tastes divine when paired with raita.This pulao is an ideal dish to cook on a lazy day,as it takes less than 30 minutes to cook in a pressure cooker,if the legumes/beans are soaked. Here I have used black,white channa,green,white peas,pigeon peas,rajma,mochai,black eye beans,mung beans.One can simply soak the mixed beans and make the pulao. No proportions are measurements need to be perfect for the amount of beans,just add them how you would like.  Here is the recipe for quick,easy and protein packed pulao.                                                                                   ...

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.                                                                                                                                                          ...

After couple of months break,I am participating in Blogging Marathon.Entering the 3rd week of the blogging marathon 77th edition with picnic hamper theme. For day 1,I am sharing an evergreen lemon rice with a twist.When it comes to packing some rice dishes for travel or picnic,my option would be lemon rice.As the preparation is very easy and my kids like lemon rice,I prefer to carry it for lunch. But today's version is different one with veggies and legumes.Here I used carrot and black eye beans.As the rice has veggies and legumes there is no need of any special accompaniment for this rice.Off to the recipe..........                                                                                                   ...

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.                                                                                                                                  ...
