It can be included in preparing Indian foods like Dosa, idli, rotti, ragimudde, malt, etc.  Biscuits and cookies are typically made with maida or all-purpose flour, but I enjoy experimenting with healthier alternatives in my baking. A good combination of different flours gives the recipe a unique taste and texture.  Here is my version of healthy biscuits using Finger millet flour / Ragi hittu. These tasty biscuits are kids favourite too, a healthy treat to add to your kids lunchbox!  Preparation time: 35 minutes Refrigeration time: 30 minutes Difficulty level: Medium Serves: 20 - 22 biscuits of medium size  Ingredients:  Finger millet flour / Ragi hittu - 1/2 cup Wheat flour - 3/4 cup (see Tips)  Unsalted butter (at room temperature) - 100 gm  Powdered sugar / Icing sugar - 1/3 cup (s...

 Broccoli is one of our family favourite vegetables. Kiddos love it because of the color and we, adults love it for its health benefits. I heard a few people won't like this vegetable for its distinct smell. But we love every dish prepared using broccoli.  3 years back, my Mum and Dad were here with us for a few months. During that time, buying vegetables was not that easy for us as many vegetables we get here are totally different from what they get in India.

ಕನ್ನಡ ಆವೃತ್ತಿ Mangoes are my all time favorite. For mango lovers like me, anything with mango tastes good! This year, we had enjoyed the mango season in India to the full extent and now, its the time for mangoes here in Australia! Last week, we had been to the market and saw plenty of delicious mangoes on the store racks. I just picked some and brought them home. Whenever there are plenty of mangoes, I love to prepare Mango Seekarane / Rasayana . This time also, I prepared Mango Seekarane and wanted my daughter to taste it. She is not very much fond of sweets and said 'no' to it, as expected. Instead, she wanted me to bake a cake for her. I just googled for the mango cake recipes and finally, this is the outcome! This was my first baking attempt using mango. While searching the recipes, I just stopped at Julie's space and found her Mango Cake recipe interesting.

But time goes like that with my little one and I am not getting enough time for my activities. Sometimes when I cook something new, I feel like taking picks of the same. By the time I start the photo shoot, either she will be hungry or it will be her sleeping time. Her voice will alter my concentration and makes me to stop the photo shoot there itself! These picks are also taken at least 3 months back and finally, I am able to write down the recipe now :) Who says 'no' to the yummilicious Fruit Yogurt?
