Pavakkai Poricha Kootu/Bittergourd Poricha Kootu

Poricha Kootu, this fingerlicking dal and vegetable based gravy is one of my favourite. I love simply with rice and papads, recently while going through my cookbooks and my paper clips, i crossed this beautiful bittergourd poricha kootu. Immediately i want to give a try and this kootu turned out extremely delicious eventhough it was slightly bitter. Bittergourd is definitely better for health especially for diabetic peoples, i love anything with bittergourds eventhough i used to ran away if my mom cook bittergourd when i was young. Later i came to know the health value of this vegetable and tried slowly adding my diet. Now its one among my favourite vegetable.Sending to Pari's Only - Gluten Free Cooking.

Spring Onion Masala Paratha

We love to carry parathas whenever we plan to go for a trip or for a picnic, parathas can be eaten without any side dish if they are prepared as masala parathas. They can stay prefect for a day without any special care and you can enjoy them as wraps or rolls or simply along with your salads. Yes masala parathas are seriously very versatile.

Onion & Sesame Savoury Biscuits

If someone asks me to plan for a picnic, i'll definitely bake some savory biscuits to pack with, even if i dont have time to bake i'll definitely get some storebought crackers, especially for the mayonnaise yogurt dip i usually make for our grilled meats. Actually i tasted this savoury biscuits and mayonnaise yogurt dip combination accidently when we forget to carry the salsa i prepared for having with this savoury biscuits once we went for a picnic. I completely fallen in love with this easy breezy dip which i usually serve with BBQ meats. If you feel like munching something savory with wonderful flavor and nuttiness either during your picnic or for your snacks, do prepare this very addictive onion and sesame savoury biscuits. These biscuits are dangerously addictive.
