Masala Idli (Low Spice Version)

Masala Idli (Low Spice Version)

Hi Friends,

Do you like Idli's or your kids like idli. But problem lies in Side dish, means Sambhar, chatni etc. May be my all South Indian Friends must be having all these kind of chatni's or sambhar very handy but north Indians like me, making Sambhar or Nariyal Chatni is a project. We need to prepare a lot to make all these side dishes. My son often ask for Idli's and question in front of was Sambhar/chatni. 

Then i found one way and these idli's are invented. I already have a Masala Idli (spicier version) in my blog. But that is not for me or kids. We like very less spicy (even chilly less) food. So i made these idli's. You can have it with Tea/Milk/Coffee etc. No sauce is required. Now i make these idli's very often without worrying about side dish. You can have them in breakfast, or evening snacks or munch upon them any time with your favorite drink. 

Ingredients:-

Idli Batter- 2 cups 

Onion - 1 medium Chopped fine

Tomato - 1 medium Chopped fine

Tomato Sauce - 1 tbsp

Salt - According to your taste

Method:-

Gather your ingredients

Add everybody in Idli Batter

Mix Well

Grease your idli plates and fill them

steam them for 10 min

Let them cool and take out 

Serve

Notes:-

1. You can make them only with tomato sauce.
2. you can skip tomato or onion as per your wish, but i will recommend you to add both.

Hope you will like it

I am here again with one more pasta recipe. It came out delicious. I wanted to make it more healthy so i added paneer cubes, capsicum, carrot in it. These days my husband in love with coriander and Corns so i also added them. Even i made especially Coriander Rice for him. which came out perfect to go with any side dish. I am desperately waiting to try my hands on White Pasta Sauce. But for the timing i am trying my hands on different flavors, pasta and veggies.  So friends try it and let me know the outcome.

Notes:-

1. Don't overcook veggies, just saute them for few seconds.
2. Add any of your favorite veggie in it. For me all these veggies were just perfect.
3. If you don't like raw paneer then you can fry or shallow fry before adding to pasta.
4. Don't skip corn, it added so much flavor in pasta.

Eggless Butter/Oil Less Apple Honey Muffins Celebrating 10.000 pageviews

Eggless Butter/Oil Less Apple Honey Muffins

Celebrating 10.000 pageviews

Hi Friends,

Hope you are enjoying your days at your best. I can't believe that my hardly four months old blog crossed 10.000 pageviews and it is all because of you all my Dear Readers, you all are a huge support for me. I really Thank You All for making my blog successful. To celebrate this occasion i made these Apple Honey Muffins, This is also my first Muffin recipe in my blog. 

I wanted to make something for this occasion and what would be batter then these healthy muffins, It came out so soft, mildly sweet and so spongy. It was just perfect for my family, especially my husband who liked them very much. I never wanted to use condense milk in it but never sure about the consistency of muffins so used only 1 tbsp, afterwords i felt that if we omit condense milk it will not make any huge difference, consistency might be bit dense but will be more healthier. I used 1 part APF and 3 part Wheat flour , but i will suggest you to use wheat flour without any second thought. As muffins were bit dense but totally awesome. Will try them soon as muffins are more easy peasy then baking cake as it takes hardly 15 min to bake and 5-10 min to cool (even i don't wait that much heheheh). So friends try them without delay and  indulge guilt free.

Prep Time- 10 Min

Cooking Time- 15 min

Yielded - 3 small and 1 big muffin

Ingredients:-

Wheat Flour -1 cup (see notes)

Condense Milk - 1 tbsp

Honey - half cup (see notes)

Apple - 1 medium (see notes)

Baking Pdr- 1 tsp

Baking Soda- 1/2 tsp

Any Dry Fruits- 1 tbsp 

Method:- 

Gather your ingredients

Sift Flour, Baking Pdr and Baking Soda

Crush roughly almonds or any dry fruit u like

Now peal and core apple and make puree out of it (i grated apple)

Add honey in it and mix well

Add condense milk 

Mix them really well

Now mix flour in it and mix very well 

Batter will be bit lumpy 

(but if you feel that batter is very dense then add 1-2 tsp milk and adjust the consistency)

Tip them in your muffin molds and sprinkle crushed almonds

 i used foil muffin mold

Within 15 min your muffins are ready with awesome aroma

Enjoy them with 

Tea/Coffee/Ice Cream/Chocolate Sauce/Caramel Sauce

Or as it is

Notes:-

1. I used 3/4 wheat flour and 1/4 maida (APF) because i felt it might be more dense but after gobbling them i realised that there is no need to add APF in them. That will hardly make any difference. So in recipe i wrote 1 cup wheat flour.
2. I used 2 tbsp honey and muffins were mildly sweet, so if you want them less sweet then use 2 tbsp honey or follow the recipe for perfect sweetness. 
3. I have taken big large apple but when i started grating them it came out more then i cup, so i used only loosely packed 1 cup and handed over rest to my kids, so for this recipe 1 medium apple would be sufficient.
4. I will suggest you to use raisins to add in batter and It would be best to use almonds or walnuts to sprinkle on top.  .

Hope you will like it

Love
