Even I was doing the preparations, and thought of doing this month's last posting :) I will be sharing an easy recipe today, which is very special for this festival! I already prepared some items for tomorrow because I can't prepare all the dishes alone quickly. Today, I prepared Sesame seeds laddoo, which is one of the favorite dishes of Lord Ganesha. One of my Aunt prepares these laddoos very nicely. They will celebrate Sankashtahara Chaturthy every month and she won't miss these laddoos for the Naivedyam. We used to wait for the pooja to end and eat the tasty laddoos!! I have adopted some tips from her for this recipe. But these laddoos will be more tasty and chewy if you use the liquid jaggery which you can get only in rural areas. Preparation time: 40 minutes Yield: 20 - 21 small laddoos Ingredients: Powdered jagg...

This type of rava dosa will be prepared for breakfast mostly on festival days when people won't prefer having anything made with rice before doing the Pooja. Procedure to prepare the batter for rava dosa is almost similar to the Idli batter.

If we add capsicum to any dish, it will increase the taste of the dish with its nice aroma. Capsicum will get cooked very quickly; so, cooking process won't take much time. When the dish is almost done, add the capsicum and 5 - 6 minutes will be enough for it to get cooked! I learned this curry recipe from my sister. It has a unique taste with the aroma of fenugreek seeds and capsicum. It will be a good combo with rice or rotis.

It can be eaten in many forms; just we can remove its peel and the innermost hard part and eat them as slices. Also, it will be used for preparing varieties of sweets, juices, ice-cream, cakes, etc.   Last time when I prepared the Pineapple Jam, I thought of posting it in the blog and took some photos. It was sitting idle in my photo bucket for long time and I couldn't post the recipe at all!! So, I thought of posting this recipe at-least today :) This jam can be used as bread spread or as a combination with dosa or chapathi. But don't eat this jam too much, because it will increase the body heat :-& Preparation time: 30 - 35 minutes Ingredients: Grated pineapple (peel removed) - 5 1/2 cups (including the juicy content) Sugar - 4 1/2 cups (depending on sweetness of pineapple) Cardamom 2 - 3 Lime fruit - 2 Pepper powder (pu...

Bamboo shoot can't be consumed on the same day of cutting; we need to cut them into slices or any other desired shapes and it need to be soaked in water for 2 - 3 days (water need to be changed daily).  So many varieties we can prepare using the bamboo shoot. If you are bamboo shoot lovers, you can preserve them and can use them anytime. Here, we are lucky enough, because we are getting the canned bamboo shoot throughout the year in the Chinese shops! Bamboo shoot recipes will be very good in taste. Spiced bamboo shoot is my all time favorite. Time required: 1 1/4 hour Ingredients: Bamboo shoot - 2 lb (I have used half the qty of 4 lb or 64 oz can) Urad dal - 1/2 spoon Mustard seeds - 1/2 spoon Pinch of asafoetida Dry red chillies - 2 Green chillies - 3 Pinch of turmeric O...
