It has been a while since I posted a gravy for roti/ variety rice. Today I was searching my draft for gravy recipes, out of 3 gravy this peas gravy pulled my attention for no reason.

Green Peas is one fancy Ingredient which makes any dish extra special. Usually I add it in conjunction with a main ingredient, and prepare gravies like Aloo Matar, Mushroom peas masala, cauliflower peas gravy. Couple of months back we went to an Indian restaurant for lunch buffet, I liked peas Masala in the menu and thought of trying a restaurant style Matar gravy.

Baked Kale Chips | Kale chips | Green chips is crispy healthy snacks. Even Kids who hate greens will love this chips. Perfect after school snacks. For people who are trying to avoid deep fried chips, this is one healthy guilt free chips.

For me chips is not only a favorite snacks but a tasty side for my lunch. As a child I can't imagine a day without Potato Chips, well even before few years I prefer a crunchy side like mixture, Chips, murukku while having rice.

After moving overseas oven become my best mate. Like I have mentioned before I wouldn't say baking is 100% healthy, but instead of deep frying, baking is any day better for me.

This baked Kale Chips was a surprise package introduced by my Co-sis. One day I saw her drying kale, when I asked her what she is going to do with that, she told baked Kale Chips. I was wondering how Chips with greens will taste. After taking a bite I made my mind to do it regularly. It was so addictive.

After heading back to our home. I got a bunch of kale and prepared Baked Kale Chips for evening snacks with tea. Since it shouldn't over lap while baking I intended to make it in three batches. Took first batch from oven, my husband and my friend came home. I told I prepared Chips, they both got excited till I took the plate near to them.

After seeing green Chips my friend told me, I was expecting some other Chips. I told her Vishva approved it, she said then it must be good and took one. We don't know how we finished that batch. After keeping the next batch my friend and I was standing next to the oven waiting for the baked Kale Chips.

I am not hyping, first time in my life I was desperately waiting for a dish prepared with green. Second batch was also over in no time, while taking the third batch from the oven I somehow managed to click few very quick pics. I referred Allrecipes

Last Friday we shifted to a new place and since then, things have been crazy. I was expecting a huge setback while moving from my little champ, but to our surprise he was manageable 🙂 While unpacking after seeing the cardboard boxes sir got excited and was jumping from one to another. Still in the process of setting up the things, but wanted to take a break and say hi to my lovely readers.

For me pasta is a celebration dish, be it birthday or anniversary, somehow Italian restaurant is the first choice for my Hubby. For us pasta is a guilty pleasure, rich cream sauce and nice portion of cheese makes it rich and of course heavy.

November 16, 2015 By Vidya Srinivasan 26 Comments

Baked rajma cutlet is prepared with Rajma (kidney beans). Protein-rich healthy and tasty snacks. It is a great after-school snack for kids.

Every time we visit our pediatrician he tells us to give protein for Vishvak. I try to add Lentil in an almost everyday meal in some way. Nowadays he has become very playful while eating after a few initial Spoon he starts running around and getting bored.

He likes food like panniyaram, bread, cutlet, fries which he can hold and eat. Their are days when even Ven Pongal goes to the panniyaram pan and result in "Pongal panniyaram". This Rajma cutlet is one such experiment to give him beans, which become a big hit at home. Not only him even we like it. I took pictures and even gave this recipe for " Snegedhi " magazine but somehow I forgot to post it.
