Soupe de Lentilles/French Vegan Lentils Soup

Soup is quite a comforting meal for me and most of our dinner calls for soups and salads. Soup will definitely please your hungry tummies easily. I just love to dish out some quick soups with loads of vegetables and legumes. One of our family favourite is always French lentils soup. Usually prepared with le Puy lentils, these gluten free and vegan soup will definitely makes your tummy happy. Definitely a satisfying bowl of this soup  is totally hearty and healthy. Rich in protein, this vegan bowl of soup is quite a filling soup if you are in diet. Extremely easy, this soup can be prepared even in advance if you feel lazy to cook after your hectic day. Indian pressure cooker works awesome to dish out this soup. However preparing this soup in a large pot also works prefectly if you want to make this soup in traditional way.

Mint Sweet Corn Balls/Pudhina Sweet Corn Kola Urundai

Kola urundai, this deep fried balls are usually prepared with minced meat, but am trying to replicate those meat loaded balls with different vegetables. I have already tried couple of versions of this popular meat loaded kola urundais. Since these deep fried balls are my kid's favourite, i dont forget to make them once a while eventhough am keeping myself away from deepfrying. I have created few of my own kola urundais with varieties of vegetables and ingredients as these balls are just prefect to feed kids easily with vegetables. Though these balls are usually deep fried even you can prepare them as no deep fried balls just by cooking them through paniyaram pan.
Here comes few of own versions of Kola urundais:
1)Soya Chunks Kola Urundai
2)No deep fry Chickpeas kola urundai
3)Broccoli Kola urundai
4)Soya Kheema Cashew Nut Kola Urundai
5)Mushroom Spinach Kola urundai
6)Egg Kola Urundai

Hyderabadi Fine Biscuits

Hyderbadi Fine Biscuits, these flaky biscuits are quite popular in many cafes in Hyderbad. These flaky biscuits sounds as much as like Palmiers or Elephant ears biscuits. And the best part of this biscuits, you just need 3 ingredients, yes you heard it rite. Just a puff pastry sheet, sugar and some flour is quite enough to prepare these utterly delicious and dangerously addictive biscuits. Actually i have bookmarked these biscuits from Usha's space. Quite a quickest biscuits as well to prepare and bake if you have puff pastry sheets in fridge or in your freezer. My kids went crazy when i served these biscuits for their snacks and they kept on munching. Hence i finished baking these biscuits with two puff pastry sheets.Sending this to Srivalli's Kid's Delight event, guest hosted by Ritu themed on Movie Time Munchies.

Makhana Aloo Tikki/Puffed Lotus Seeds Potato Cutlet

Aloo tikki is a well known Indian street food made especially with potatoes, however many variations and varieties of Aloo tikkis do exists now. A tikki can be shallow fried, pan fried or deep fried depending upon your tastebuds. However my way of frying these tikkis is definitely pan frying as they need less oil than the shallow frying and deep frying. A packet of puffed lotus seeds were sitting in my pantry since a while and i seriously want to finish them before the expiry date. Eventhough those makhana stays prefect intact, i dont want to keep them for a long. Hence i opted for dishing out some delicious tikkis with them.Sending this to Srivalli's Kid's Delight event, guest hosted by Ritu themed on Movie Time Munchies.
