Quail Gravy | Kaadai Gravy

Kaadai(Quail) has many health benefits when compared to chicken. Appa doesn't prefer broiler chicken for us, so when he is in chennai he frequently buys fish, mutton and kaadai. Kaadai is similar to chicken and can be cooked on the same way. We get this in the regular chicken shops. Let's see the step by step preparation:

Pink Velvet Roulade | Pink Roll Cake

I wanted to make roll cakes for a long time now. Finally, when I came across this recipe here, I decided to give it a try. My initial few attempts had dominating eggy smell. Tips of Joe, helped me get the perfect roulade. They are very simple and looks really amazing. Kids will enjoy it to the core, like Happy did. If you prefer not to add color, you can continue it as a basic roll cake after skipping pink color. The perfect measurement needs to be followed for perfect roulade. Here we go to the preparation steps:

Squid Roast | Kerala Kanava Roast | (Calamari / Koonthal Roast)

Ribbon Pakkoda / Ribbon Murukku / Ola Pakkoda / Nada Thenkuzhal | Diwali Special Recipe

Finally I am posting in the Day one of new month with many resolutions in mind :). This post was composed last week during diwali because of internet issues I couldn't post it. Jany prefers to have crispy savoury snacks than sweets or desserts. Whenever I make sweets he tastes it, but asks for something spicy and crispy. So, I made this ribbon pakkoda in a jiffy without much preparation. It came out really well and he enjoyed for the evening coffee. Here, we go for the recipe:

Rasmalai Recipe | Diwali Special Recipes

Rasmalai is one of the desserts, which I often have in my office cafeteria. Rasagullas soaked in the saffron flavoured milk tastes divine. When I tried Rasagulla, I reserved some for trying rasmalai. The rasmalai was very soft and creamy, we all enjoyed it a lot. This is a perfect dessert for parties and potlucks. You can prepare it a day before and keep it in the refrigerator.

Thirattipal Recipe|Easy Palkova using Condensed milk| Diwali Special Recipe

Thirattipal or Palkova is my favourite dessert right from childhood. I had one unused condensed milk tin in my fridge for a long time and thought of making thirattipal using it. The preparation is very simple when compared to the traditional palkova with milk. I have prepared this in the stovetop, however, you can prepare this in the microwave oven too (check the notes section). Kids will love this yummy palkova.
