ROASTED ASPARAGUS WITH GARLIC AND THYME

Thought of reducing my weight... So I'm in a strict diet plan. Rk's friend suggested me to have low carbohydrate diet... So only fruits, veggie and meats... No intake of rice or Chapatti ... First day it was too tiring for me then getting used to it... So I’m getting lots of suggestion from my brother and friends. And this is my brothers version of roasted asparagus.

CARROT BEANS PORIYAL/CARROT BEANS PORIYAL RECIPE

I remember my childhood days when I thought of a write up for carrot beans poriyal... I hate to eat this poriyal when I was a kid... My mom struggles a lot with me and she somehow makes me eat this poriyal... Even if I act like pucking out; she never cares and stuffs it with rice in my mouth... I cry and finish them, as if having tablet...

LEMON&CHIVE MUFFINS

RK loves lemon flavor a lot... When we have kebabs or starter they present the dish with a slice of lemon...

Then my craziness to lemons started...

SPICY VAZHAKKAI FRY

When my FIL came to Singapore, SIL and mom had given him lots of vazhakai for me. And all are from their home garden. So had to finish them off or it's turning ripe and couldn't use the ripe one for cooking. So at least twice a week we make Vazhakai poriyal... Me and my MIL were bored of making the same way...So she said,will try this toasted spicy vazhakkai fry...

EGGLESS LIGHT STRAWBERRY MOUSSE(WITHOUT GELATIN)

CAULIFLOWER PEAS KURMA

This is my mom’s version of cauliflower pea’s kurma… I have tried this many times after marriage and every time it comes out perfectly, and this goes a great combination with Chapatti and curd... Chapatti is my all time favorite... And I eat it plainly without any side dish... Will tell you a short story of how I did my first try of making chapatti... The story begins like this,I called mom and asked how to make Chapatti she said the normal procedure…

VENDAKKAI PORIYAL

Mathematics is the first thing that strikes my mind when I think of this vendakai poriyal ... Still I don't understand how Math's is related to lady's finger... My mom keeps telling this "eat lady's finger you will do well in Math’s"I heard this word till I completed my degree and still I'm hearing this from my aunt to her daughter...  But this veggie has an apt name to represent its shape...

SESAME CHUTNEY

I like to have a dip for any kind of starter.. And i like sweet, spicy combo... So I make this way, if I have spicy starter will make a semi sweet dip and vice versa... So it's up to you to decide which option, makes your tummy feel light… 

POTATO SCOOPED WITH CAULIFLOWER KEEMA STUFFING

I'm a very big fan of starters,Usually i start my meal with a starter and soup if we go to restaurants....

I use mashed potato for cutlet and wraps… This recipe was something attractive and different ...

MOR KUZHAMBU

In my childhood, my eating habits will be similar to my brother... I was a copy cat of him, when it comes to food...my brother doesn't eat veggie's or curd... So I will never touch it. Then when I came to hostel for my higher secondary, no other go should eat the food provided in hostel... So I started eating both,but not all veggie...My brother eats all veggie's...
