Honey Wheat Fruit Muffins


The budget for this this financial year is all to be set out today..... Hopefully it would be a gifting budget as this is the last budget before the elections in the centre, due in 2014..... So I think there might not be much to worry about..... Already the prices of all the commodities have been sky rocketing and there are already much reasons to be concerned of....

Dal Palak Curry


I think you would have come across the photos of Balachandran Prabhakaran shot dead..... What a horrible scene.... that too showing that 12 year old boy eating snacks just minutes before he was shot dead was all the more horrorful.... Where is this world heading? What would have that boy known about the politics revolving around him? Who ever might have done it, there could never at all be any justification.....

Capsicum Curry


Do you know that capsicum is botanically a fruit, which are considered a vegetable in the same manner as tomatoes? They are also known as sweet pepper, paprika, bell pepper, jalapeno and chilli.... So if you hear any of these names, don't be confused, they are all the same colourful ones you shop in the market... As far as I searched round the net, I did not come across any differences in the health benefits depending on their color... they all are packed with the same nutritional values as their coloured counterparts except that the green ones are younger with a more intense flavour while the others are sweeter and milder, all suitable for eating either fresh or cooked.....

Blueberry Coulis topped Panna Cotta


Have you ever had panna cotta? If not, its high time you taste one..... This is one of the best desserts I've ever had... I came across this recipe in Edible Garden and since then I wanted to give it a try.... but postponed it as it involved cream and sugar which he totally avoids..... so making it for myself and having to not share it, though an idea at its best.... but in action, the thought of all calories for one person, held myself back.... So when we invited friends for dinner, at once this dessert popped into my head.... and there I was completely overjoyed with the outcome..... Everyone loved it.... and it was a hit at home....

Vendakkai Pulikuzhambu


What is your stand on death sentence for any crime or terrorism? The News channels are buzzing for the past two days on the hanging of Afsal Guru. He was convicted on the parliament attack case of 2004... I clearly remember this incident.... some of those security personnel gave up their lives to safeguard the parliamentarians. It was said that one of the security guards was holding tight on to the gates even after he was dead... I was taken aback by his duty consciousness then, and realised that even when peole like us sit down complaining about politicians and politics, there are some, who carry out their duty sincerely.... to the core. If it was not for them, most of our politicians would not be breathing their lives today.... How are they going to pay back??????

Dal Broccoli Stir-fry


Atlast the movie 'Vishwaroopam' has finally reached the screens a couple of days back..... I saw the movie yesterday, it was good.... the tremendous effort of the artist is visible in all aspects and it needs a special mention for the effort itself.... The screenplay was good and quite interesting.... It was a movie worth the wait.....

Mushroom Dry Curry


Mushrooms are literally excellent packets of nutrition.... and I usually have them atleast twice a week as they are a great weight loss food.. which are incredibly tasty... the rarest of combinations you could find.... In addition it is loaded with abundant disease fighting properties and is an excellent source of potassium which lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of stroke..... all such things kept apart, they are very very tasty....
and it can even be the only reason for me loving these white buttons....

Moong Dal Palak


"Letting go doesn't mean giving up, but rather accepting that there are things that cannot be changed".....I do not know who said this line, but when I read them, my mind whispered.... so, there are people experiencing things like me.... but, this is what is ignored, when you utter... this is what, people who always have things falling in the right place deny to accept.... so its not that bad as you always feel, at letting things go.... it has to happen at some point...... to feel peace at mind....

Eggless Butterless Orange Cake


For over the past few days, the tamil film 'Vishwaroopam', has literally attained vishwaroopam, due to its controversies in release... Its really disheartening to see that freedom of expression in art is slowly tainting... Already India has lost an explicit artist like M.F.Hussain, who did not even have his last breath in his homeland....
