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!!!!

Masala Sprite/Masala Soda/Shikanji Recipe

                                                                               Shikanji is a popular  Indian Lemonade sold in the streets of  North India and Pakistan..It is so popular in the streets of Delhi that you get Shikanji masala in packets.During summer, you can see a lot of Shikanji stalls in the streets.Sometimes crushed ginger is added to the drink.It is usually made with water.I have tried it with soda or sprite which tastes even more better.It is a perfect party drink in the summer!!!!!

Andhra Pesarattu Dosai

                                                              Pesarattu Dosai is a very popular type of Dosa in Andhra Pradesh.I have had it only once or twice.Actually it is very nutritious because it is made out of Moong dal and not rice.Little bit of rice is added to give crispness to the dosa.It is usually had with Ginger chutney called "allam pachidi" which is also popular in Andhra.You can make the ginger chutney a little watery to go with the dosa.

Allam Pachidi/Ginger Chutney

Ginger is one of my favourite spices.I love ginger in any form be it juice, pickle or in upmas and curries.I have been wanting to make this Andhra style pickle or chutney called Allam Pachidi. It is the best side dish or accompaniment for Andhra Pesarattu dosai.

This pickle has all the tastes in it - it is spicy, sweet and tangy. It is a treat to all the people who love ginger in their food!!!! Hopefully I will make the pesarattu dosai sooooon!!!!!!!!!
