Spiral Moon Cake Recipe - International Food Challenge ( IFC #1 )

I am really excited about participating in this event, which is also my first event after coming to this blogging world. Yes, this post belongs to InternationalFoodChallengeI thank and appreciate Saraswathi Tharagaram  and Shobana Sekar  for their effort in forming this group. I like to explore and learn more international recipes. To learn about foods in other parts of the world is really exciting. This dessert belongs to Cantonese Cuisine, China. This is one of the main cuisine styles in China. We really enjoyed having this yummy spiral moon cake, which is flaky outside and sweet inside. It might look like a lengthy recipe, but it is worth doing it. Do give it a try.

Senai Kizhangu Fry Recipe | Elephant Yam Fry | Yam Fry

Even though I started exploring all kinds of vegetables, I hesitated to try Sena kizhangu thinking about its itchy nature.  Later made my mind, and tried it. I felt, if cooked properly the itchy feel we get on the tongue can be eliminated. Initially, we have to parboil it with tamarind and turmeric. After parboiling, we can follow any method to make the roast or fry out of it. Shallow frying with little oil is healthy, but I have deep fried it since no one in my home touch the yam if tossed with masala :P

Fish Curry/ Meen kuzhambu Recipe

This is the first fish recipe in my blog. Even though we cook fish often in our home, I have not thought of posting it until now. Finally, here I am with my mom's fish curry recipe. My mom makes delicious fish curry and it was the best recipe until now for me. Jany is also a big fan of my mom's fish curry. She makes two or three types of fish curry and this is one among that, which is very simple to make. Other than cleaning the fish, peeling onions and grinding the masala, we don't want to stand longer in the kitchen to make this yummy curry. Simmering and cover cooking the curry for more time give the best result. Here, we go for the recipe.

Aval Payasam Recipe(with Jaggery)| Poha Payasam | Rice Flakes Payasam

For any occasion in my home, we make Siru payir Payasam (Pasiparuppu payasam) or Semiya pal Payasam. This is the recipe I came to know after my venture into this blogging world and I saw most of the blogs have their version of Aval Payasam. Since I had some left over aval, which I bought for Aval Urundai, I thought of giving it a try. And for today's lunch, I made this Payasam. I tried with Jaggery since I wanted to give Happy. It was delicious and easy to make recipe, which we can prepare quickly for guests for their surprise visits. Off to the recipe...

Kudos to her, for the delicious recipe and the patience which allowed me to click in between. The common name for this recipe is Churukka/Mutta Surukka.This can be made in a jiffy since the main ingredient for this recipe is Raw rice flour and Egg, which we always have in our pantry. Adding eggs make this churukka super soft. Over to the recipe:

Cauliflower Masala Dosa Recipe | Gobi Masala Dosa | Cauliflower Dosa | Easy Breakfast Ideas

We had a lovely weekend, we took Happy to a nearby children's park. She was excited after seeing so many kids and enjoyed playing in the slide with Jany's support. And, we captured the lovely moments of Happy with a Deer which came close to her, she even touched the ears of the Deer. The day ended without clicking, cooking and editing. Coming to today's recipe, I am sharing a simple and yet interesting tiffin. Yes, it's Cauliflower dosa. I love cauliflower in any form and this cauliflower dosa goes very well with coconut chutney. It can be had without any side dish as well. Check out my Potato stuffed Masala dosa too.
