Paneer Sandwich

                                                              ' Paneer' ! You name it and kids  would love it. I made this easy paneer sandwich today.It is an easy, simple and kids-friendly recipe. Perfect for lunch boxes too.You can  add a few more vegetables like capsicum or corn to this recipe and use the filling.With the same filling you  can make chapathi rolls also. I have used a grilling sandwich toaster here. You can easily do it on a tawa on a gas stove. So what are you waiting for ??

Dahi Puri/Dahi Batata Puri

                                                          Dahi puri is a Chaat recipe made with soothing curd. It is one of our favorite chaat items, because there is sweet curd in it, which gives a soothing taste.Yes, sometimes the spice in other chaats becomes too much, so we prefer to eat Dahi puri. If you have the chutneys and a packet of puris and  ready it is easy to make.You have to eat it immediately, otherwise the moisture in the chutneys and the curd will make the puris soggy.

Kovakkai Curry

                                                          Kovakkai is otherwise known as  ivy gourd.It is a commonly cooked vegetable in north and south India.Sometimes it is mistaken with bitter melon and becomes bitter when you buy them.North and south Indians have various recipes for this vegetable.I myself cook it in two varieties.I thought i would share this particular recipe which can be an accompaniment for both rice and chapathis.I add a potato to the curry to give a binding.This is a simple recipe without much of masalas.
