Yogurt and Raisin Ice Cream/
Dahi aur Kishmish ki Ice Cream
Summer Special/
Kids Special

Hi Friends,
Hope you are enjoying kids holidays. I am at my mom's place for few days to enjoy freedom of homework,  morning breakfast, uniforms, tiffin etc etc. (don't want to remember that) before schools are open again. Its most difficult to keep kids occupied in holidays. I try to make different food for them but seriously sometimes go out of ideas. I start scratching my head but nothing comes out and that's the most difficult situation when kids shouts for something and you are out of ideas and when idea comes then out of ingredients. You just have to look what you have and churn your mind to get something out of it. I thing every mother face this situation. I hope someday i will get solution for this. Till then i move to today's recipe. 
Few days back i made this ice cream. It came out pretty good. As it was my experiment i made it in only small container which caused a major problem- i saw my kids fighting for the last spoon bite. I made it at night. Next morning i took it out checked and it was perfect. I started taking photographs after finishing photographs session i went to the kitchen ans came back with a spoon and saw my both kids who just woke up eating ice cream. I scold them a bit as they didn't brushed their teeth. But all in vein, after finishing both went to the basin to brush (to please me). I don't know what expression should i let come out. I hope all mother's have faced this kind of situation some day. So try it guys but keep it away from your kids until you really want them to eat it.

Chettinad Aloo/

Hi Friends,
Few months back I came to know about Chettinad Recipes Chettinad is a famous place where freshly grounded spices are use to cook vegetables.  I don't know much about this place but when i saw some dishes prepared this way at Aarthi's food blog Yummy tummy.  From the day i saw those potatoes smeared in spices i was determined to make them but never got the opportunity to try my hand on it. So today morning i made these potatoes and want to tell you that the aroma of freshly grounded spices was just so awesome. I never thought that it can make a huge difference in a simple potato sabzi. Its so easy to make and can be served within 15 minutes. I tasted it and felt that it was full of aroma it doesn't taste good but also smell so good. Now i will try more veggies Chettinad way.

Notes:-

  1. You can add more chilies if you want it more spicy, but i was suppose to serve it to kids so kept minimal.
  2. You can also add 2 tsp chana daal in it. i was not having in hand. 
  3. Basically its about grinding spices in powder form so don't add ginger garlic or green chilly in it for real taste of Chattinaad special dish.
  4. I think if we make a bit grainy powder of spices then it will give a crunchy flavour to potatoes. Will try it next time.
