A treasured medley that narrates episodes of few spices and their stir that have danced to the tunes of my kitchen...
Am I a great cook? Hmmm... Starting with a grand lie is not a polite way to introduce oneself. I admit that I love to cook but I cant say that it turns out perfect every time. Experimenting nowadays is becoming more of an addiction than interest. I have always wanted to treasure my tried and tested recipes so that I can myself come back every time in need of a little help when cooking.
You will find some very simple recipes too that might not be worth noting down. The intention here is simple - just don't want to forget that there is this recipe that i know i can fix in no time... helps on days when i keep wandering restlessly looking for and asking what to cook.
So, here it is ... A space that unveils my passion for cooking and gets you a peek into recipes from my kitchen....

Doughnuts... loved by every kid
Doughnuts are my kids favorite and I should say my favorite too. I love munching on them especially the munchkins. I have loved them from day one. I feel that the doughnuts I find here in my place dont taste as good or fresh as they are meant to be. Initially I had to deal with it to help with my craze but once my kitchen saw these beauties were better and absolutely fresh when made at home, there was no going back.

We love making them at home and yes I get a lot of help from my little buddies as its their favorite snack. They love making them and glazing/decorating/dipping them.
I love everytihng except the deep frying part but I never stop eating it inspite of the guilt. I have always thought of trying the baked version but it has never happened. I fear it will not taste as good these. But I am planning to try that too though I dont know when
Well these are perfect to enjoy as your favorite snack

Puzhiyotharai mix... Puzhi saatham mix ... a handy item in every south indian home
Puzhiyotharai or puzhi saatham is a traditional south Indian food made in each and every household on a regular basis. Its also served in temples as prasadam. There are many different versions of this and everyone has heir own favourite style to suit their palate. Whatever it is and however it is made, I find it awesome as it lends a wonderful helping hand in packing kids lunch with no hastle
We all love this in our home. So the mix is always made in a decent amount and stocked up in the fridge. Whenever in a hurry or even on lazy days it comes in handy. Just cook some rice and add a little amount of this mix along with some gingelly oil and give it a quick stir. The rice gets ready in no time to be packed for office or school lunch
We make it so often that I forgot to write a post till now. Last week my friend Vidya asked me for my recipe when I got to know that the recipe wasnt up here. So here it is for you my dear friend

Refreshing Amla drink
Amla / Gooseberry is full of goodness... fibre, calcium and antioxidants to name a few. It is a super good food for every age. The best thing and the most important reason for it being included in diets is to help increase body immunity. I hate to eat it as is so I end up making juices/drinks and pickle to add it to my diet
This drink is very simple and easy to make. Its so refreshing that you will not leave even the last drop in your glass ;) We love it in all seasons :)
