Make The Best Wedding Day Cookies

We are entering the second of Blogging Marathon#48 and for this week I chose to showcase Nasta recipes. Nasta refers to either breakfast or evening snack which is light and filling.Today's recipe is one such simple yet filling and nutritious,breakfast cum snack. I have already shared the Khaman Dhokla  here  but this is a different one using moong dhal. The moong dhal dhokla,I learned from one of my friend and the secret of getting nice and fluffy dhokla is the eno fruit salt.Off to the recipe..............................................                                                                                                                         ...

Dahi vada chaat is a popular North Indian snack cum chaat resembles the South Indian Thayir vada with some variations. South Indian version has a tempering and garnish with kaara boondhi whereas this one is with the chutneys such as tamarind and coriander.Garnishing can be done with fine sev and pomegranate seeds.Here goes the recipe..............................................                                                                                                                            Dahi Vada Chaat/Dahi Bhalla Chaat                      ...

For the day 2 under the themes chaat I chose a simple yet healthy bhel made with mung beans.This can be made with mung sprouts also.Here I used the soaked one and steamed for 5 minutes to get a nice taste.You can even add some papdis and peanuts to give a nice crunch.This can be served with papdis or salty crackers like papdi chaat also.Off to the recipe.....................                                                                                                                         ...

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and this is going to be thevery first post for the brand new year. We are starting with another session of Blogging Marathon and this edition is 48th and we are heading towards our 50th edition. For this session I chose one of my favorite Chaat recipes and today's one is Dabeli aka Kutch Dabeli. This dabeli I make it couple of times before but used the extra leftover regular bread slice.But here I used the store bought burger buns. This dabeli and garnishing can be made in different ways and few versions are there.Today's version, I learned from one of my friend.The use of pomegranate and sev,peanuts give a nice tangy and crunchiness.Once the stuffing and chutneys are ready the assembling is easy and can be made in no time.The list of ingredients may be more but its very easy to make and assemble.Lets move on to the reciep....................................................          ...

For the day of Blogging Marathon#47 under the theme Indian desserts I am sharing a creamy payasam made with broken wheat rava. This recipe I noted down from Chef Venkatesh Bhat and wanted to give it a try.He cooked the broken wheat(wheat rava) in a pressure cooker and made this payasam.But I fried the broken wheat in a tsp of ghee and cooked it in the pressure cooker. Cooking it in the pressure cooker saves the time and broken wheat cooks perfectly.The flavor of coconut milk and the cardamom powder makes this payasm so rich and delicious. I made it slightly in a thicker side if you want you can make it a slight thinner version. As my jaggery was not dark I didn't get a dark brown color but the taste was awesome.Off to the recipe.......................                                   ...
