I t was a lazy evening and getting bored of doing nothing. My little one was watching cartoon and my husband was on the way from office. For my small one's evening snack I prepared chapathi, but she likes it with Nutella. Now who doesn't like Nutella? Even elders are crazy about it, then if it comes to kids,they want it with everything. I wanted to drink something, but not the regular tea,coffee. So when I was licking the spoon of Nutella,I thought why not try this Nutella hot chocolate which I saw in one of the blogs. Quickly I took a cup of hot milk and added Nutella, swirled it and took a sip into this heavenly drink. It tastes just like chocolate drink but a slight hint of hazelnut makes the difference.  It is an amazing drink which we can have any time of the day. When my husband came, this was a surprise for him from the regular tea, coffee. Hope you all will love this.... Ingredients: Nutella- 1 tbsp Milk- 1 Cup Method: Boil the milk in a saucepan. In this add a tbsp of

T his is a traditional sweet of middle east. I tasted this for the first time at K.C Das and I got attracted to the light pink coloured fragrant square cubes, that I wanted to see how it tastes. They are so delicate, light and scented with rose water. Ever since I tasted this, I wanted to try this out and was searching for cream of tartar. This cream of tartar is an acid, which ensures that the baked goods are well rised. At last I got it and then I was waiting for an occasion to make this (just an excuse to try something sweet). I wanted to try this on my husband’s birthday, but I made this two days before his birthday. He too loves this a lot and this sweet is the first choice when he wants to buy sweets for his friend because of its amazing flavors. It was a big surprise for him, when I showed him the prepared sweet. He never expected me to make this as I used to say that to make this is a big process. But this is not at all difficult. I made this in microwave. You can also make thi

T his method is an easy and a clever way to finish all the leftover chapathis. A perfect snack for kids, which is very healthy and nutritious. To make it more healthy, we can add any vegetable like potatoes, carrot, cabbage and so on. But I was in a hurry in the mornings, I didn’t add any vegetable. The thought of using a leftover chapathi in this delicious way came from my dear friend and colleague. When we have free time, we will be sharing what we bought and so my friend one day brought this which I tasted for the first time and fell in love with this. Quick demo of the recipe and the next day a lunch box snack was this wonderful dish. My dish was a little dry, for that you can sprinkle little water on the ground chapathi ( do not add too much of water, otherwise they will turn out mushy). Here is a lovely dish, hope you all will like it. Ingredients: Chapatis- 4-5 nos Onions (chopped)- 2 nos Oil- 1 tbsp Mustard seeds- 1 tsp Cumin seeds- 1 tsp Curry leaves- few Roasted Peanuts- 1 tb

O n some holidays, when I feel lazy to cook breakfast, we go to a nearby hotel and my little one asks for the idli which has cashew on top. This she likes to dip in the coconut chutney and some mixed veg curry. She likes it a lot that she now asks me to make it at home and so I learnt this just for her. I thought this is a time consuming breakfast, but when I made it the first time, I realized that this is the one of the easiest and definitely a delicious and nutritious breakfast. This is a speciality of Karnataka. In this we can also add grated carrot and curry leaves. One thing about this which I love the most is that, you don’t have to wait for the batter to ferment overnight like normal idli batter. As soon as we mix everything, its ready to get steamed. So what are you waiting for, just try this out … Ingredients: Adapted from rak’s kitchen Sooji / Semolina- 1 cup Curd- ½ cup Ginger( grated)- 1 tsp Green Chillies( chopped)- 2 nos Lemon Juice- ½ tsp Salt- as required Eno salt- ½ ts
