Corn Capsicum Sabzi
Corn Capsicum Sabzi, one of the simplest sabzi and the colorful one with more nutrition to our daily intakes. My son just hates to give a try on these veggies ,whereas, I try my level best to feed my kids the best. Well, it's always hide and seek which works out to me. Myself and hubby had this with our meals and I just grinded some in a blender and mixed with some boiled and mashed potates and prepared sandwich for my son. He couldn't guess the ingredients and finished it without any hassle. Mission accomplished!

Chicken Ghee Roast- Mangalore Cuisine
![]() |
Chicken Ghee Roast |
Chicken Ghee Roast, the most popular dish from Mangalore. Tasted this for the first time in Mangalore Abhiman Hotel, while on a visit to meet my college friend. It tasted so divine. Got to visit the place again last December and tasted it again. This pairs best with Neer Dosa or simple rasam- rice. Chicken is marinated first, ghee roasted and mixed with all the spices to get a perfect roasted yet soft and juicy chicken pieces. Taste the ghee in every bite. Diet conscious gals, once in a while, skip the diet ;). Read a whatsapp message, if no one sees you eating something with high calories, it means it contains no calories. How I wish it was true?
Here's my all time favorite chicken recipe - Chicken Ghee Roast.

Avare- Chicken Curry |
Avarekalu (Hyancinth Beans), one of the Bangalorean's favorite beans and they prepare almost all yummy dishes from this seasonal beans. We had been to 'Avarekalu Mela' too which happens in Bangalore every year during this season. I was amazed to see the dishes they prepared from avarekalu including sweets like Gulab Jamoon, Mysore Pak, Son Papdi and many more. We tasted Akki Roti, Ragi Roti, Vada and Holige, all made with avarekalu. Hmmmm....Yummy. Avaekalu Akki Roti was in super demand ofcourse.

Poha Ladoo |
Hope everyone had a brightful and safe diwali. I wanted to post this recipe before diwali but got very busy with the preparations and the post got delayed. I actually prepared this Poha Ladoo thrice in 4 days for this diwali. One was just for a trial and after getting appreciation and approval went ahead with the second round. Again got shortage to distribute and had to prepare it once again. It's a very easy recipe and everyone after tasting it mistook as besan ladoo. I too was happy with the out come. My this year's homemade diwali snacks were all very easy recipes - Poha Ladoo, Rava Ladoo, Chakkali, Poha Chivda, spicy sev and Nipattu. Will be posting all the recipes soon. As of now sharing my easy Poha Ladoo recipe

Quick Pillow Cake - How to bake cake in a sandwich maker
After a long time, I am back to blogging. I was very much regular in my kitchen ,experimenting new dishes but been too lazy to write the detailed recipe note in my blog.
Today's recipe is a very simple cake recipe which can be done within few minutes and that too in a sandwich maker. Sounds interesting, isn't it? I was glued to the recipe and the very next day I tried it out and surprisingly it came out very well. I tried both the vanilla and the chocolate cake at once. Vanilla cakes got vanished within minutes before I could grab my camera for the click. Finally managed with the chocolate cake. Loved the puffiness and hence the name "Pillow Cake". I found the name super cute. So now, if you don't have an oven or wanna try out a simple version of cake or just a try in a sandwich maker, what are you waiting for, go ahead and surprise your kids with this Pillow cake for the evening snack.

Mango Jam

Mango Jam - Preservative free - Home Made |
Mango Jam - A very simple, quick and easy homemade jam. My mom introduced me to homemade jam's. She has been preparing this preservative free Pineapple Jam for me and my younger brother ever since our childhood. I have kept her trend going for my kids too now. This year, I gave a try on mango jam and it was a super hit at home. It's super easy to prepare at home and I bet you won't buy those branded products available in market. That was the actual feedback I got from my family. It was so delightful to watch my hubby and father to have it directly with a spoon without even waiting for a bread slice or chapati's. A must try recipe this Mango season.

Kundapur Style Chicken Sukka - Restaurant Style
![]() |
Kundapur Style Chicken Sukka |
People from coastal Karnataka belt are very much aware of this popular chicken sukka dish. Today's post is the non-veg recipe from the most popular restaurant in Kundapur - Shetty's Hotel. I love Mangalorean chicken sukka, but this is something different and includes more ingredients for the sukka compared to mangalorean chicken sukka. Taste wise, no compromise, it's- delicious, spicy and mouth watering dish.

Hurigadale Dosa / Fried gram dal Dosa
Dosa is our favorite breakfast dish and I love to try different varieties of them. And hence, I am here with a new variety of dosa which I tried a month ago. I had bought a packet of this fried gram dal with an intention to make a sweet dish Mandige. Since that didn't happen, I wanted to finish this off. I add them to coconut chutney too to get that restaurant style chutney(click here for the chutney recipe) but this dosa was completely new to me.

Fried Chicken Kabab - Restaurant Style
Fried Chicken Kababs can be counted into Bangaloorean Street food and also to the restaurant food. Since I never have the courage to try on streets which is very common everyday and much tempting, I would refer this to the one of famous Bangalore Restaurant- The Empire. I love their non-veg thali which comes with kerala Parata, chicken curry and this juicy fried chicken kababs. We even get chicken kabab powder in almost all the shops here. After trying with the ready made powder, I still didn't get that perfect taste. I noted down the ingredients and then altered it a bit and finally nailed the recipe. :)

Pesarattu/ Green Gram Dosa |
Pesarattu is nothing but whole green gram dosa which is a very popular breakfast dish in Andhra Pradesh. It's nutritious and very easy to make. This dosa doesnot need urad dal and since we add green gram to this, it becomes more healthier. You can also try this out with sprouted green gram.
