Sweet chutney for Chaats - Dates Tamarind Sweet Chutney Recipe

Sweet Chutney
Sweet chutney and green chutney are must for any chaat recipes which elevates the taste of chaats.  When i went in to try out some chaat recipes, i decided to make all ingredients that goes into it from scratch. This chutney is a perfect blend of sweet and sour using dates and tamarind.  Unlike green chutney this is bit time consuming, but you can make it more and keeps well  upto a month.

Methi Paratha Recipe - Indian Flat Bread with Fenugreek Leaves

Methi Paratha
Nutritious and packed with flavors these methi parathas are delicious and can be made as a quick breakfast or dinner. My usual choice is to add some mashed potatoes along with methi leaves, but this time i went ahead with only fresh methi leaves. I see to include fresh methi leaves in our menu either in the from of parathas or methi puris, both are our favorite.

Homemade Puri for Chaats - Puri Recipe

Puri for Chaats
Pani Poori/ Golgappas is one of my most favorite chaat recipe and the list is endless. It carries way back to my school and college days. I rarely get chance to taste a plate of my favorite masala puri or pani poori as there were only minimal chaat shops near our house. But now it's seen every luke and corner of each street. There need not be any special reason to have chaats, and for me, whether it be winter or summer, i can have chaat's any time.

Palak Paneer Recipe


Palak Paneer Recipe
Another amazing paneer recipe with the goodness of spinach. Like most people even i hesitated to taste this dish initially. I had a chance to taste this dish first along with my friends at Rayappa's in Coimbatore. It was not bad as i thought, and was rich and creamy with a splendid blend of taste, texture and flavor. I have tried few times at home and i found this is the only way to make my little one intake some greens.

Just as most of the North Indian dishes, Paratha's too are my favorite and specially aloo parathas.

Neer Moru - Sambaram - Spicy Butter Milk Recipe

Neer Moru recipe
Yet another summer cooler drink perfect for the scorching heat. Neer moru in Tamil or Sambaram in Malayalam is familiar with most households and is a simple healthy drink. A glass of neer moru served after a heavy meal is really comforting and helps in digestion too. Usually i don't temper neer moru, but if want  you can do it. Home made healthy drink to keep away from aerated drinks.

Paruppu Rasam

Paruppu Rasam Recipe
 Rasam is one of the staple food at my home and MIL space and forms part of the daily meals. For my dad, without 'rasam' his meals will not be complete, so my mom prepares it daily. But still i don't prefer to have it and finishes my meal with just sambar and curd. Though i know the goodness of rasam, i never have it. That's because whenever i have fever my mom gives me rasam kanji, and you may know the reason now...,
