C apsicum- egg rice is one of the easiest, delicious lunch box item, which the kids will like to have daily. This is one of the super simple rice dishes which can be prepared in less time. Nowadays my daughter likes egg whites rather than having the whole egg. But they will get the required nutrition if they eat both the whites and the yolks. Scrambling the egg and mixing it with the rice is a smart way to make your kid eat the whole egg. You can add your kids favorite veggies to this rice. This will taste better if we are using the leftover rice. It is a wholesome and nutritious dish. This quick and easy rice is so flavorful and a perfect one for kids lunchbox. Hope you all like this dish. Try this out and let me know. My son after seeing my colorful dish he bought all his legos and started decorating..... Ingredients: Cooked rice- 2 Cups Oil- 2 tbsp Eggs- 2 nos Onions(chopped)- 1 no Green chillis (chopped)- 1 no Red capsicum (cubed)- 1 no Red Chilli Sauce- 1 Tsp Soy sau...

U nniappam is a popular traditional snack in Kerala. Unni means “small” and appam means “rice cake”. This dish is made of almost all the houses in Kerala. These unniappams will be liked by all. I like to call these “cuteness overloaded” appams. They are so soft and scrumptious that you will end up eating a whole lot. This is prepared using rice, jaggery, and banana. Traditionally this is made using clarified butter. We can also add some roasted coconut pieces in the batter but I like it this way. From so long I badly wanted to try this dish, but without the pan it was impossible. This time when my in-laws came from India they bought the pan and I made them for the first time, which came out super yummy and soft. These unniappams can be made using raw rice, but as I didn’t have so much of patience to soak the rice, I used rice flour. This is an oily dish, but once in awhile, it is fine to have these delicious and traditional snacks. Hope you will also try this dish and let me know. Ing...

Happy to announce my blog's 8th anniversary A classic fish biryani which can be devoured at all times. Fish biryani is a perfect combination of the spices, rice along with marinated fried fish. Rather than weekdays, I prefer weekends for preparing elaborate meals like the biryani, which everyone in the house can enjoy comfortably. Usually, I will be making chicken or mutton biryani, this is the first time I tried preparing fish biryani. I tasted the fish biriyani first when I visited my brother’s place. My SIL who is a great cook prepared this within no time and instantly I fell in love with this biryani but I never dared to make biryani at home. I have had a few disasters at first like the rice was undercooked or overcooked! But now I have perfected the art of making biryani and there is nothing like a good home cooked version. Once I started making biryanis, I prepared this fish biryani and everyone in my house liked it. We can use sear fish, or any fis...

M asala peanuts is a perfect tea time snack which will be enjoyed by all in the family. Baked masala peanuts are one of our favorite snacks and so I will make sure to refill this by preparing a big batch before it gets finished. This is a guilt-free version of the fried masala peanuts and can be enjoyed an extra handful. The masala peanuts are coated with a thick batter of gram flour and seasoned with spices, which is then baked to perfection and enjoyed by all. Make sure to stir in between or else they will burn and will not taste good. The baked ones are crispy, crunchy and tasty just like the fried ones. By adding garlic, the flavor is well incorporated. This is so easy to make that you just have to throw all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and bake in the oven till done. This is a perfect guilt-free snack which can be enjoyed any time of the day. Hope you all may like this. Ingredients: Peanuts- 2 Cups Besan/ Chickpea Flour- ½  Cup Rice Flour- 3 tbsp Red Chilli Powder- 2 Tsp S...

I t’s time for MFB challenge. This time it is “Ramadan Memories”. As the Ramadan fasting is going on, we will spend most of our time in prayers and by evening, we will be cooking a different variety of dishes. A lot of memories are associated with iftar. Mom used to prepare mouth watering dishes. As a kid, even though I was not fasting, I used to sit with her and break the fast when it is time. But as I grew up, during fasting, we all, me, my parents and my brothers used to sit together for iftar and enjoyed the food she made. We used to have so much fun. Feeling very nostalgic. Missing those golden days. Mom used to make lots of fried food and mostly she used to make Kerala dishes a lot. Whatever she makes, they taste heavenly. Among that, I like to eat “erachi puttu”. As I like chicken a lot, she prepares the puttu using minced chicken. She makes a dry masala using minced chicken and then layers the masala in the rice flour then steamed in a cylinder shaped puttu maker. This can be s...
