Vegetable Stew/Kerela Special

                                                                   Vegetable stew is a simple and easy mildly flavoured side dish usually served with appams.The addition of whole spices ginger and fresh coconut milk makes the subzi very aromatic and tasty.It is very popular in Kerela state and often called "Ishtu" is paired with appams and sometimes with Idiappams which makes a wholesome breakfast.
                  I usually don't  make a elaborate breakfast so i make it only for dinner.The stew and appams are very light on the stomach especially at the dinner time.

Kiwi Fruit Juice

Kiwi is a perfect fruit for those living in the tropics.Being rich in vitamin c,it helps boost your immunity too. Kiwi juice is very light and refreshing and is the perfect choice to beat the summer heat!Though we are not a big fan of kiwi we wanted to try eating it in different forms.First i tried them in fruit salad and now i tried making the juice.

Oreo Milkshake

                                                              Summer has not even started fully and I am already making all those summer drinks for the kids.Oreo milkshake is their favourite one and it is quite easy to make one.You throw a dollop of vanilla ice cream or any other flavour and add some crunchy broken pieces of biscuits in that and it tastes heavely.

Corn and Methi Pulao

This is the first time i am trying a pulao in a pressure pan.I always cook the rice seperatley and mix with the vegetables and masala or put in in the electric rice cooker.But i prefer cooking the rice seperately cooling the rice and then mixing with the masala.When i was looking for this(corn and methi pulao) recipe most of the recipe said only the pressure cooker method so i decided to follow the same.You just have to be careful about the water quantity and the time for cooking.Corn and methi pulao came out very well the whole house was so aromatic with the corn,methi and the butter!!!!
