Kadalai Paruppu Payasam/Channa Dhal Payasam /கடலை பருப்பு பாயசம்

Payasam is our family's favorite and I often make it.Most of the Fridays prasadam would be either payasam or kesari. We are starting the Blogging Marathon#77 edition,sharing Vegan Sweets.Coming to vegan options of Indian sweets,coconut milk is a great substitute. Today's recipe is a simple yet flavorful payasam made with channa dhal.This payasam needs only 10-15 minutes if the coconut milk is ready.                                                                                                                                                        ...

Mango Mastani

Mango Mastani is a drink or dessert popular in Pune.Its a kind of thick mango milk shake topped with ice cream,garnished with nuts and chopped mango. Mango mastani is so creamy,filling and refreshing,a perfect drink for summer.Mastani can be made with other fruits too but mango one is the most popular. This drink can me made with any ripe mangoes but mostly Alphonso variety is used.As I don't get those mangoes I used the store bought Alphonso mango pulp.                                                                                                                                                ...

Rose Lemonade /Rose Lemonade with Sabja Seeds

As my kids love the rose flavored beverages,I tried this lemonade last week as the temperature were in 90s. To make it more healthy I added soaked tukmaria /sabja seeds.The lemonade was so refreshing with the flavor of  rose syrup and the goodness of lemon. Making this drink is pretty easy if you have all the ingredients.Here I mixed the sugar in the water and made the drink. No proportions are measurements need to be perfect,just add them how you would like to have.As my kids prefer slightly sweeter version I added an extra spoonful of sugar.                                                                                                                     ...

Rose Milkshake

Entering the final week of Blogging Marathon edition 77 with summer coolers as theme.My kids love chilled beverages,so I make it often. As they don't like plain milk and yogurt I mostly make milk shakes and smoothies for them.Their all time favorite is rose milk and rose flavored lassi.My lil one calls both the drink as pink juice. Coming to today's recipe its a creamy and luscious milk shake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.Here I mixed a scoop of ice cream along  with milk and topped with another scoop to make it extra rich.Off to the recipe..............                                                                                                                   ...

Chickpea Salad /Channa Salad

Salads are easy to make,filling and its a healthy meal.As we prefer salads with legumes I make this simple chickpea salad often.Its a great option for dieting as it has protein and low in calorie. This is one such colorful salad with the crunchiness of veggies with the flavor of ginger.Here I used black pepper powder,ginger and lemon juice for a simple dressing.The veggies can be altered as per personal preference.                                                                                                                                                            ...
