Am a great fan of both bottlegourds and peanuts, obviously if i get a chance to cook with these ingredients how can i hesitate a second to cook with. My today's dish is a delicious Andhra style bottlegourd curry which i crossed here long back and i bookmarked it immediately.. A lipsmacking curry to relish hot with some rice and papads, we loved this super nutty curry very much. Though the main ingredient for making this recipe is bottlegourd, both peanuts and sesame seeds paste is a must to cook this curry which turns this dish more delicious with a fantastic aroma.

Though i get varieties of chocolates here, my favourite is always 70% dark chocolate. Do you know this dark chocolate is loaded with magnesium. If you feel down, take a piece of this chocolate and enjoy. This is how i keep myself happy.

Chocolate Coconut Peda/Chocolate Dhoodh Peda/Chocolate Coconut Milk Fudge
Pedas, this milk sweets are easy to dish out if you have mawa or crumbled paneer at home. Since ever i tried milk sweets with chocolate flavor, my kids were pestering to make some pedas with chocolate. Obviously i couldnt stop myself to prepare some quick pedas with paneer at home. Very easy to make this peda calls for some dessicated coconut as well, however freshly grated coconut works awesome as well. But i was quite skeptical to use fresh grated coconut and went with dessicated coconut. Though i used 2 tablespoons of coconut flakes, this peda tastes fabulous with mild chewy texture coz of the coconut flakes.
