Velichenna Pathiri,Chicken Popcorn and Beef Roast


Its very interesting to browse about food when you are in 'fasting'.That was such a morning, in fasitng and browsing... I was digged in the middle of confusions about what to make for ifthar that evening.And finally decided to make chicken popcorn as a starter to my ifthar. I got an easy recipie for that.Any how i was having some boneless chicken in my freezer which is easy for me to make at the time.Then i made beef curry and velichenna pathiri.About velichenna pathiri...its one of the pathiri which my mom used to make with beef and liver roasts.Chopped shallots,cumin and grated coconut is mixed in the  rice dough and fried in coconut oil.
                            Alhamdulillah....had a tasty food for the ifthar with a cup of tea...:D

Veggie Harvests

I was out of patience and went to the container containing carrot plants in our garden with cute carrot heads peeping out.Took out the carrots, expecting a big carrot underneath.But the three plants i took out gave me cute little carrots.One of it my son had as such.I was blinking at it thinking what to do with this.Then i made a porridge with rice , mixed gram powders and our organic fresh carrot for my little girl.She had a wonderful lunch.:D 



Harvesting lot of tomatoes and green chillies these days.Cucumber,ashgourd, long beans and ladies finger also did great for some day's tasty food.



This is the second bittergourd in my plant.Its a tiny one but beautiful....


 My chilli plants are crazily giving me yields...masha allah..
