sabbakki rotti/ sabudana thalipeeth

I don’t think there’s anybody who is unaware of Hebbar’s kitchen. So much popularity in such a short time. Hers to-the-point videos make any complicated recipe look like a piece of cake. 

I have only tried couple of her recipes, though many have made into my bookmark folder. 

Sabbakki, as I knew, was used only in payasa(kheer), or sandige(fryums). Long time back, before blogging, I had tried sabudana vada, which had turned out very tasty and crunchy. But it had taken really long time to fry, which had put me off in trying it again. 

Then I saw this video of Sabudana thalipeeth(sabbakki rotti), which looked pretty easy, like all her other videos. The dough was almost same to what I had tried before, so I knew it would be tasty. And making rotti is anyways less complicated than frying. So I tried and I  must say, I was not disappointed. Taste was awesome! But time taken to cook was not as quick as regular rotti. 

If you don’t roast it thoroughly, it breaks apart very easily while flipping. It is very filling. So I would advise making small rottis, and roast two rottis at a time.

Mixed Veg Curry - Restaurant Style

I had tried this Mix veg curry long time back. It turned out very creamy and tasted just like in restaurants. I used frozen mix veg bag along with some other cut vegetables, to increase the volume. This dish is perfect for feeding a crowd. Relatively quick, filling,  uncomplicated and tasty!

Spinach Pulav

This recipe is similar to the last recipe. Almost same recipe, just change in vegetable, gives you a very different tasting rice bath. It is very easy to make and a good option for lunch box. 

It tastes like palak paneer mixed with rice and kids will love it. I felt addition of potatoes or fried paneer would’ve gone well with the taste. 

Do try!

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.

Spinach Chutney

Presenting another healthy and tasty chutney recipe, that I had tried sometime back. Very very very tasty and very easy to make. Adding garlic tadka is like icing on the cake. 

I might have added more palak than required(in the original recipe), as my chutney was much greener than the original recipe. It took me a good amount of spinach to make a decent amount of chutney. But you can always reduce the spinach and add more masala like in the original recipe. 

Enjoy this yummy chutney with some hot rice in this cold weather!

Sweet Potato(Genasu) Bajji / Bajji batter

I wanted to post something special for New Year. I thought so long and hard as to what to post, by the time Sankranthi was here :) 

Sankranthi came and went, but I am still thinking. Frustrated, I opened my laptop today and decided to post something and just be done with it :) 

Thankfully I found Genasu bajji(which I had completely forgotten), which I recently learnt from my mom. 

This is my mom’s trademark recipe. Unlike other bajjis, here you add freshly ground masala, which gives a very unique taste. I’m glad to share this special recipe with you’ll today. 

Happy New Year! Happy Sankranthi!! 

Dates and Nuts Barfi

Recently my friend Veena had made this easy and healthy barfi, which I really liked. There is no added sugar and it is full of flavor. Almost like an energy bar. And so so easy to make. Do try and enjoy your holidays, guilt free!

Happy holidays!!

Happy New Year!!
