Due to its medicinal values, we use turmeric in some or the other form in our day-to-day cooking. Apart from this, all of us know that turmeric is the main ingredient in various beauty products like cream, lotion or face packs. Also, turmeric is good medicine for different types of allergy and infections and hence, is the main ingredient in various Ayurveda medicines. If you prepare a list of its uses, i think it will be end-less! My mom had brought some raw turmeric pieces for us during her last visit. Always I tasted the Turmeric Gojju prepared by mom or my MIL, but I didn't knew the recipe of this Gojju! These turmeric pieces gave me an opportunity to learn this Gojju recipe :) Just followed my mom's instructions, and it came out super delicious! This healthy and tasty Gojju goes well with rice.

Finally, I could use them for baking my muffins last week! I had few ripened bananas, which I couldn't finish off. So, just thought of using the same for the muffins! Ahh, my first experiment with muffins was a big success! <:-P It was so aromatic and delicious, and especially I loved the texture very much. I prepared only 5 (in fact bigger ones!) muffins and it got sold like anything! But this is really a stomach filling dish since its made of bananas and all purpose flour (maida). We had it as evening snacks, but I thought it will be good for breakfast or for kids snacks also!   Time to prepare the batter: 10 minutes Baking time: 23 - 25 minutes Yield: 5 big muffins Ingredients: Fully ripened bananas - 2 (large bananas) All purpose flour / Maida - 1 1/2 cup Sugar - 3/4 cup ...

More than me, my hubby loves them a lot :) So, surely I will make some time to prepare these tangy and spicy preservatives at home. There was some raw tamarind sitting in my fridge from couple of days. I remembered my mom making raw tamarind Thokku during this season and thought of preparing the same. I just called her and got the procedure. Thokku came out very well and hubby dear liked it a lot! I had very few tamarind pieces and prepared in small quantity. But it was a big hit and got over within 4 - 5 days. Already he told me to prepare same kind of Thokku when I get the raw tamarind next time! :D Preparation Time: 40 - 45 minutes Yield: It will be enough for 2 people for a week Ingredients: Raw tamarind 5 - 6 Spicy green chillies - 3 (adjust according to taste) Fenugreek seeds - 1/2 spoon Cumin seeds - 1 spoon ...

If the rawa is not roasted properly, no doubt, the upma will look like concrete :D In my opinion, if you roast rawa properly and add vegetables, you can prepare a 'superb' upma. Anyways, leave it! Here is a different upma recipe which is prepared using bread pieces. It suits for breakfast as well as evening snacks. It won't take much time to prepare and never it will be a concrete!
