Matar Pulao/Peas Pulao

Matar Pulao/Peas Rice/Veg Pulao

Hi Friends,

Hope you had a great weekend. Weekends are the days when i am more then active to cooking. I make a full elaborated meal for Breakfast and lunch. My son loves Pease Pulao, it is a full meal for him. He do not touch anything else if peas pulao is there. So i always need to make something interesting to accompany with this pulao, So that he can have a full meal. In fact it can be a full meal, just add simple curd/raita/pickle/chatni and relish it.

But in growing age its necessary to give them whole nutrition so only pulao is not enough. This sunday i made peas pulao, paneer kofta curry(recipe coming soon), kala chana, chapati and dry soya chunk masala with this pulao and a sweet dessert(recipe coming soon). Whole meal was just perfect. My kiddi had soya masala, kofta curry and pease pulao. Quite satisfying for me. So here we go with the recipe:-

Ingredients:-

Rice   - 3 cups

Peas  - 1 cup

Jeera - 1/2 tsp

Salt   - 1 tsp (as per your taste)

Oil    - 1 tbsp

Method:-

Notes:-

1. You can add more peas if you are serving with single accompaniment. I used 1 cup and that was fine for us as i was having so many dishes to serve with. 
2. You can use red chilly pdr and black pepper powder. i made it simple as my kid love simple pulao.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Chocolate Fruit Sandwich

CHOCO FRUIT SANDWICH

Hi Friends,

Sometimes kids make sudden demands for some snacks like sandwich/ drinks /sweets etc. By the time i have started this blog, my kids are more attracted to the food i prepare,their demands are increasing day by day, as soon as i bring my camera in kitchen questionair starts 'mammy what are u cooking?' mammy can i mix it?,Is it ready?, we will hold the bowl?, we will take pictures and many more things. Speaking truly they are an integral part of my blogging world. They help me a lot by holding things for me, helps in mixing and many more ways. 

I love their interest in these things, My daughter(Pari) is more curious and helpful, she is only five and help me in many ways. I will post few pictures taken by her. My son (cash) a fussy eater, when ask me that what i am cooking i love his voice and interest, this inspires me a lot to cook something healthy and attractive for them. Now i have started making quick small snacks for them. Few days back i made this sandwich and they loved that, Even my hubby join them whenever i serve something. They are my best critics and food testers.

Notes:-

1. Use any fruit for your choice.
2. Instead of making chocolate sauce you can use ready-made Hershey's chocolate syrup
3. Use any Jam/Spread of your choice instead of Chocolate Sauce.
4. You can use any bread. (I used Multi Grain).
5. Cherry/Sprinkles are just for a crunch and to attract kids. You can use dry fruits(hubby's idea-will try next time).

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

LOVE
