Sandesh/Bengali Sweet
Sandesh is a simple milk sweet. It is a Bengali sweet made with curdled milk.It can be made easily and quickly so if you have some extra milk at home and you are craving for some sweet then you should go for it.I actually have few extra pkts of milk now and craving for a mild sweet.It does not need any fancy ingredient or elaborate procedure to make this.If you prefer you can add some food color or kesar dissolved in milk to make it more flavorful. However i have made it plain without adding any artificial color or any other flavor because i preferred this milky flavor in the Bengali sweet!!!!

Fruit Chaat
My next attempt to make my girls like fruits! if not like, I atleast hope they attempt to eat them.Yes ,'fruit chat' is an assortment of fruits with some chaat masala and lime juice.It tastes tangy,sweet,salty and very tasty.I love it!!!.It is a very popular street food in different parts of northern India especially in Delhi. It is sold in every street corner but not that much in chennai.
It is a very good and healthy Appetizer and of course there is no cooking involved so it is really easy and fast to make.

Paal Payasam with Condensed Milk
Recently I had this Paal Payasam (milk Kheer) in a wedding, it was soo yummy ! I wanted to have it again and was waiting for an opportunity .Today, being Ugadi, my neighbors had invited all of us for lunch. I wanted to make a sweet and take it to her house.I made this paal payasam in kerela style - totally milky, with no other aromatic spices.
There are two ways of making it. First, one where you reduce the milk to half by heating it and then adding sugar.The second one is where you reduce the milk a little and then adding condensed milk which makes it thicker and tastier.When you are using condensed milk there is no need to add sugar.

Beetroot Masal Vadai/Chettinad cusine
All of us love Beetroot in our house, but we've never heard of "Beet root vadai" ever before. I saw the recipe on one of the TV cookery shows. It was interesting and sounded very tasty and healthy too. I thought let me record it on the blog before I forget .Then I looked for the same recipe in the internet and it says it is a Chettinad specialty. It sounds interesting, so let us see the output!
The sweetness in the beetroot blends with the dal and makes it really tasty.I don't need to mention the health benefits of beetroot!!!It tastes great on its own and does not need any accompaniment.However you can enjoy it with any chutney of your choice!!!

Sabudana Khichidi
Sabudana Khichidi is made from Sago(we call it Javarisi).It is made during navrathri days and during fasting days.It is very popular in Maharashtra.The addition of Peanuts and potato makes it a whole and filling meal while fasting.
Once in a while I make it for breakfast in my house because i don't really observe any fasting.My kids are not very fond of sago because of its gooey nature.I have made this khichidi with two different types of sago one is big which requires more soaking time and the other smaller one needs only half an hour soaking time.
