I ts scorching hot in Kerala and everyone is behind the cool stuffs that are available around. Now you might be thinking that my next post is something about juice or smoothie or an ice cream, but you will be surprised that in this hot weather I am posting a recipe of spicy pickle. I am at my mom's place to enjoy the vacations. Here I am in no mood to try a hot pickle, but this is all because of my brother who is a big fan of coconut pickle. I don't know from where he got to taste this pickle. He was insisting me to buy this for him from here. First I thought I would take the recipe of this pickle from any of the blogs and will prepare this pickle. But as I googled I came to know that nobody has tried this before. I got one or two recipes using coconut pieces, but it was not the one which I was searching for. Then I tried the next best thing, to ask everyone through blogs, groups and to all my near and dear relatives. But no one had a clue of this pickle. My bro insisted me to ...

I usually make vegetable fries as a side dish for rice. Sometimes I mix two veggies and make fry. This time I thought of adding paneer in carrot and potato fry. As my little one likes to eat most of the veggies in the form of fry. She never touches paneer, so I thought why not add these in the carrot and potato fry. We all know that paneer is very nutritious, rich and healthy. We can prepare different dishes with paneer and this is one of it.
