A very Happy & Prosperous Diwali to you...!! #diwali2021

Diwali is the festival of lights...

Here are some of the desserts I make to celebrate the festival...

Kairi Panna (Raw Mango Cooler)

After a hectic weekend, all you want, is a drink, which is cool and refreshing...Here is a drink just right for the summer...Infact can be made thru the year, cause raw mangoes are found almost always.
"Kairi Panna" or Raw Mango cooler, is fresh, easy to make, refreshing and needless to say, healthy.

Happy Makara Sankranthi, Pongal & Lohri

"Gova kane ani chane dali Go'd khichidi" or Broken Wheat and Split chickpeas dessert is normally made during festivals especially during "Sankranthi" festival.
Its easy to make.... 
Like most Konkani/South Indian desserts, this khichidi/dessert is best served with ghee...
My Mom is an expert at making this, and recently I learnt from her.

Dish # 451 - Grill Dill Wings

Dill Grill Wings... my very own recipe... simple yet lip smackin' good...Grilled so healthy too... A good evening starter using Dill leaves and Chicken Wings.
Dill helps reduce Depression and lowers Cholestrol.
This is a simple dish which is quick and easy to make... the longer the marination better the taste...

Ingredients:

Chicken wings - 500 gms
Dill leaves - 5 tbsp
Garlic finely chopped - 5 tbsp
Red Chilly powder (Kashmiri/non spicy one) - 1 or 2 tbsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Salt to taste

Method:

Prepare the marinade by mixing all the ingredients except the chicken wings in a small bowl. Then marinate the chicken wings with this marinade for minimum 2 hrs in the fridge. But keeping the wings marinated overnight in the fridge will further enhance the taste.
Pre-heat the Grill (Electric or Gas or Bbq grill) and grill until done. For even better taste, brush with butter while grilling. Serve hot garnished with Dill leaves.

Dish #450 - Chilly Mushroom (Andhra Style)

I know its been a few months since I blogged a new recipe...
After I moved to this new project, travel has taken precedence over cooking....
From April 2017 have been travelling a lot....eating a lot of new and amazing dishes....but somehow not finding time to cook a new dish or blog it..
Have been getting a lot of requests from friends and followers to put up a new recipe so here goes...
Chilly Mushroom....the very name gives a tinging feeling to your palate...yes its totally yum...a very easy dish to make...with a little influence from the Indian state of Andhra...yes I have used Gongura leaves to give that boost....The potential of the "Green Chilly" is fully realized in this recipe.
