Easy corn pakodas

Presenting extremely easy to make appetizer - corn pakodas. I got this recipe from a cooking show. It was prepared in under 5 min, or that’s what it was shown as.. It took me close to 15 - 20 minutes.  Fresh corn works best, I used frozen corn. Anyways, I added some mint and cilantro, which was not in the original, and because of that it tasted more like falafel. Perfect appetizer to take for potlucks and parties. Do try!

Quesadilla - easy lunch box recipe

Quesadilla makes for a perfect lunch box item, especially for kids. Adults can equally enjoy it too. Easy peasy, and can be made in a jiffy(less than 10 min) for busy weekday mornings. I’m sure every house has their own recipe for this. Here’s mine.. 

I generally make stuffing before hand and use organic whole wheat frozen tortillas(from costco, with just 5 ingredients, no preservative).

Corn Pulav

It’s interesting how change of vegetables can change the flavor of rice baths drastically. I tried couple of rice baths from the same blog, with almost similar masala, but just change in vegetables. I was very happy with the outcome. I just tweaked the recipe a little bit. Other than that everything else was followed as in original recipe. 

Corn makes it very likable for kids too.

Corn Capsicum Curry

Life’s become busy... doing what? can’t tell for sure :) There is nothing in particular I can account for, just busy running errands, daily chores, being a soccer mom, setting up a routine for daughter’s homework and MAKING SURE SHE FOLLOWS IT!!  

A spring break thrown in the middle didn’t help much either. It’s funny how children when home = all your free time spent on them. Blogging has taken a back seat. I am not trying out many new recipes lately. Whatever little I try, I am not finding the time nor energy to set up and wait for the pictures to be taken by hubby. Anyways break is over and we are slowly crawling back to our routine.

I was digging out my drafts to see if I can post some of the old dishes I tried. I found this capsicum corn masala. Even though the masala used is pretty common among many north indian curries, addition of corn makes it taste slightly different. And corn makes it likable by kids too. It goes really well with Chapathis and fried rice. Do try!
