Spinach Rice Recipe

When it comes to packed lunch, I always prefer to pack variety rice/one pot rice instead of rice with kuzhambu. Today I am sharing the recipe of simple & nutritious spinach rice or pulao. I made it using amaranth leaves and you can use any available spinach. I have posted Amarnath leaves stir fry and Amarnath leaves Cutlet earlier. Also, if you are interested in variety rice recipes for lunch box then check the recipe index under the category 'Rice Bowl'. Let's move to the recipe:

Mango Kesari Recipe

Though I am extremely late in sharing this mango recipe, I thought of posting it before the mango vanishes completely from the market. When I was in Chennai, I loved to try the breakfast combo served in Sangeetha restaurant mainly for the unique fruit flavoured kesari (Chikko, grapes, mixed fruits, etc.) and I always wanted to replicate it at home. During the last mango season in Sydney, I tried this mango kesari and it was super delicious. Let's move on to the preparation steps and please check out other mango recipes from the blog here.

Health Mix Ladoo Recipe

A few months back, I bought a pack of Manna Health Mix powder when I visited the nearby Indian grocery store. I was planning to make porridge and feed Happy. However, she didn't show any interest and it was lying in the pantry. Finally, the recipe booklet in the pack helped me with this idea and I tried it last weekend. Jany and Happy liked it very much and it was a huge hit. I posted that picture on my Instagram handle and few people pinged me for the recipe. Hence, I am pushing myself to share the recipe today.

Mango Sago Recipe

Hope everyone is enjoying the mango season in India. Though I miss it in Sydney now, I have reserved some mango recipes in my drafts that I tried during the last mango season in Sydney (December). I never miss to relish on the seasonal fruits and my favourite fruits are mango, jackfruit and orange. I can have it all day during the season. Today I am sharing an interesting mango dessert which you can try this season. Do check out the other mango recipes from the blog in the links below:

Prawns Drumstick Kuzhambu Recipe

Finally, I am back to the blog with a new recipe after two months. I always love to eat Prawns and I like to experiment a variety of dishes with that. You can find other Prawn Recipes from the blog in this link. Today's recipe is very unusual to me since I have added tamarind pulp in this gravy for the first time. I learned this from Mullai's blog and we liked it very much. This kuzhambu goes well with steamed rice. I served it with Vazhaipoo Vadai and Snake Guard Kootu. So, let us move on to the recipe without much delay.

Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe | Whole Wheat Peanut Butter Cookies | Honey Peanut Butter | Cookies Recipe | My 450th Post

I love peanut butter a lot and I used to try different brands and varieties. When I was in Chennai, I tried this recipe once and it was a failure. The original recipe calls for unsweetened peanut butter and I used sweetened peanut butter by mistake. For Christmas 2016, I tried these cookies again and it was a huge success. However, I missed to post it here and it was lying in my drafts for more than a year now. Finally, a day has come for these cookies to go live and let us move to the recipe without any delay.
