Wheat Bread Dosa

Dunno what about you all, i just love making instant versions of breakfast dishes like idlies or dosas. My today's recipe goes for an instant version, one of my favourite since ever i had this dosa at one of my friend's place. Actually i made this dosas many time but never had a chance to click a picture to post them. Finally i clicked few pictures last week, when i prepared this bread dosa batter with whole wheat bread, rice flour and roasted rava. A prefect breakfast to enjoy thoroughly during a weekend brunch or else for breakfast to kick start a day and not to forget that this dosa suits prefect for dinner too.

Carrot & Mango Paratha

I know few of you might be surprised to see the name of my today's dish, yes i prepared this wonderful looking paratha with carrot and raw mango. Actually i had some grated mango left aside after preparing sundal, i couldnt resist myself to add them while making the paratha dough. Honestly the addition of grated raw mango turned the parathas bit tangy while having eventhough they are grated. Carrot and mango works prefect in this paratha, however if you dont have or else dont feel like adding grated mango, just go simply with grated carrot. I used thinly grated carrots and thinly grated raw mango while kneading the dough, obviously none will notice the addition of veggies here.One of the best way to sneak veggies definitely if you have paratha lovers at home.

Carrot Badam Kheer

Nuts, i cant survive without them obviously they will always have their important place in my pantry.

Eggless Dark Chocolate Pancakes

Pancakes are excellent fluffy cakes which suits prefect to kick start a weekend brunch. They are easy to make, quite filling breakfast as well. Pancakes are flat cakes, often round and thin can be prepared in a jiffy and cooked in a pan on both sides, served with a syrup or sauce. I usually make pancakes with basic vanilla batter, this time for a change i opted for chocolate pancakes, my today's recipe goes for eggless version and tastes simply prefect when served with anything especially with chocolate syrup, but i served mine with a simple orange syrup.
