Aval/Rice Flakes Payasam

                                                               
                                                                    Aval or Rice flakes is flattened rice which is used to make a lot of snacks which is easily digestible.It is Lord Krishna's Favourite snack too.Aval Payasam is made during Krishna Jayanthy(krishna's birthday).Aval cooks really fast so the payasam also is simple and fast one.

Butter Nan

                                                                      Butter Nan on stove top.Many of us would wonder how we would  make nans without a Tandoor or an oven.This is a simple way of making Nans on the stove top on a normal Tawa i learnt from an aunt.

Sweetcorn Vegetable Soup

                                                                Sweetcorn vegetable soup is a yummy soup with all the goodness in it.It is light and at the same time filling.It is a real treat for those who love Sweetcorn.I tried it for the first time and everyone loved it in my house.You have a few cheesy toasts with that and it becomes a meal!!!!

Mixed Vegetable Cutlet

                                                                 Cutlets can be called as a snack,starter or an apetizer.It is a combination of vegetables mixed with spices dipped in flour paste and coated with breadcrumbs and then fried in oil or shallow fried in a non stick pan.It can be used as  patti for your Vegetarian Burger.

Ribbon Pakoda

                                                               Ribbon/Nada/Tape Pakoda as it is called in different names because of its lengthy ribbon-like shape.It is a spicy type of  Thenkuzhal, made during diwali in most of the South Indian homes.It is very easy to make that it can be made anytime of the year.It tastes great with a cup of coffee that you will not be able to resist especially on a rainy day.
I always look for Meenakshi amma's cook book for my traditional recipes.I just followed her recipe in "Samaithu Par". Since I made it during a regular but rainy day, I just added crushed garlic for the flavour which is purely optional.
