Salt Biscuits

Salt biscuits, these biscuits are seriously very addictive and can be carried anywhere to munch them without any guilt, obviously am posting this biscuits today as am running my third week of blogging marathon with an interesting theme  called 'Car Snacks', after posting a quick and healthy roasted lotus seeds yesterday, today am posting this salt biscuits. This biscuits are my kids favourite and i'll never forget to pack them if we are planning a trip or a long drive. Since this biscuits are mildly sweet and salty at the same time, you doesnt need anything to serve along with. These biscuits can suits prefectly to munch during anytime of the day. You can make this salt biscuits in large quantity and they stay simply prefect for many days if they are conserved properly. But trust me, they wont stay for a long and gets vanished very much quickly than you can imagine.

Roasted Makhana/Roasted Lotus seeds

Going for a long drive need more organisation than a small outing, whenever we plan a long drive with kids, my mind will definitely look for some hassle-free snacks. A long drive do need some special attention when you plan with kids. I usually avoid oily foods for car snacks,so i always plan to make some baked goodies or oil less snacks which goes mostly for easy preparation. Am running my third week of blogging marathon with a fantastic theme, yes my theme for this week is Car Snacks and i simply loved this theme.

Red Chori Curry/Cowpeas Curry - No Onion, No Garlic

Whenever i make rotis at home for dinner, everyone at home would love to have  with different side dishes than the leftover gravy from Lunch.Obviously i have to make different gravies or curries to have with rotis. This time when i picked No onion No garlic recipes as theme for this week's blogging marathon, i want to give a try to some nutritious protein packed curries. Since i had red chori aka cowpeas, i immediately tried with them. This curry is very simple to make and seriously very delicious to enjoy thoroughly with naans, parottas or else with rotis. Actually this dish makes a prefect side dish even with simple pulao, obviously you have so many choices to enjoy this protein packed curry.Personally i liked this curry with rice and papads but not to forget that this dish makes a delicious side dish.
