Kadai Paneer Dry Recipe | Spicy Kadai Paneer | Dry Kadai Paneer | Restaurant Style Kadai Paneer

I am not a crazy fan of Paneer, I can have it once in a while. I always make paneer butter masala whenever I have paneer at home. Even Jany and Happy don't show much interest in paneer. I try new paneer recipes, just for the sake of the blog. However, after trying Paneer 65 and Kadai Paneer, I started liking Paneer. I am planning to try more recipes in the future. I always use homemade paneer for my recipes and this Kadai paneer goes very well with Roti or Pulao. Let us move on to the recipe and do check out my Chilli Paneer Dry and Mattar Paneer.

Pachai Payaru Javvarisi Payasam Recipe | Green Gram Sago Kheer | Paasipayaru Payasam | Moong Bean Payasam | Payasam Recipes

When I was asked to prepare some green gram recipes for an event, I made this Payasam along with the other green gram recipes that I posted earlier. Initially, I was planning to make this payasam with Karupatti (Palm Jaggery). However, I ran out of karupatti at that time and hence I made it with normal Jaggery. Green Gram and Karupatti are very nutritious and I suggest you make this payasam with karupatti. Unlike other lentils, the green gram doesn't upset the stomach and it has a lot of nutrients. Do give it a try and let me know the results. Also, check out my other green recipes too: Green Gram Ladoo, Green Gram Suzhiyam, Green Gram Poli, Green Gram sweet sundal, Puttu Payaru Pappadum and Green Gram Thoran.

Mango Shrikhand Recipe | Amrakhand | Mango Recipes | Mango Flavored Yoghurt

Today is a special day for me, yes, it is both my birthday and my dad's birthday. Though we both miss mum on this day, we know she is always with us and she is our strength. The day went well with a lot of blessings and wishes from the family and friends. To celebrate this day, I am sharing a recipe with my favourite fruit mango. Shrikhand is a yoghurt based thick dessert which can be made with any fruit. Mango (Aam) Shrikhand is called as Amrakhand and it is usually served along with Poori or as a dessert. I would relate this to the flavoured yoghurt which we get in tubs. The Shrikhand is made using hung yoghurt/curd and unlike Mango lassi it is thick. Let us move on to the recipe and do check out my other Mango recipes too:

Paruppu Sevai Recipe | Paruppu Idiyappam | Lentil Rice Noodles | Idiyappam Varieties

Idiyappam/Sevai is one of our staple breakfast/dinner in south India. At home, we always pair it with Non-Veg Curries or Sodhi (Vegetable Stew). When I was working with TCS, one of my colleagues usually brings different types of Idiyappam. It was very new to me at that time and I have tasted her coconut sevai and sweet sevai, it was so delicious. At Jany's friend's engagement, I have tasted lemon sevai and from that day I wanted to try all these sevai at home. I feel really lazy to make Idiyappam at home. However, I force myself to make it since Happy likes it a lot. Recently, I tried three kinds of sevai and it came out super delicious. Today, I am sharing the paruppu sevai and I will post few more varieties too in the coming days. Let us move on to the recipe:

Channa Biryani Recipe | Chick Pea Biryani | Chole Biryani | Easy One Pot Meal | Pressure Cooker Biryani

Yesterday when I was sharing the Carrot Raita, you would have seen this Channa Biryani served on the plate along with raita. Today I am sharing you all the recipe for an easy one pot meal Channa Biryani. When I was talking to my friend Neena, I realised that this Channa Biryani was not posted on the blog, though I had prepared it quite a few times for our lunch box. I prepared it with white Channa and if preferred you can make it with Kala Channa too. Check out my other Chickpea recipes like Kadala (Channa) Kuruma, Puttu Kadala Curry and Channa Sundal.

Carrot Raita Recipe | Carrot Thayir Pachadi | Raw Carrots in Yoghurt Sauce

Posting a recipe on weekends is an unusual thing in my blog. After the busy and hectic week, I would like to relax on weekends. However, I am planning to post on all days of this month since April is special for me and my family. Hopefully, my plan should work out and I am keeping my fingers crossed :) Today I am sharing a simple and healthy Carrot Raita. I packed this for Jany's lunch box along with Channa Biryani. He liked it a lot and after coming home he told it was very tasty. (again an unusual thing 😁). Though it is very simple, I would like to share the recipe for the beginners and let us move to the recipe. Please check out my Carrot Halwa, Carrot Rice, Carrot Beans Thoran and Carrot Juice recipes as well. If looking for more Raita's then check out my Boondhi Raita.
