Sevai sabudana kheer in a serving bowl
Sevai sabudana kesar kheer recipe - Today I have an amazing vermicelli sago kheer recipe to share with you all. For me this is the easiest kheer I can ever prepare in the comfort of my kitchen. Milk is the basic ingredient which gives creamy taste to the kheer, whereas the quantity of sago and vermicelli is adjustable. Even you can make this type of kheer with vermicelli only. This is one of the Karnataka desserts usually served with meal during the occasion of marriage. Sometimes I too make it in the weekend to serve as a dessert. What I like in this kheer is its simplicity and taste. It has a delicate flavor of cardamom and saffron. The sago, vermicelli combination is absolutely delicious.

Mango mastani recipe

mango mastani in serving glasses
Mango mastani recipe - I never leave a chance to sip mango mastani at Sujatha Mastani, Sadashiv Peth, Pune. Whenever we go to Lakshmi road  for shopping, it is our favourite spot to relish the creamy mango mastani and we enjoy it thoroughly in true sense. During summer this mastani parlour is always over crowded and sometimes, to get the seat, we have to wait for at least half an hour and in the end when we get the chance it is worth waiting.

Saipe paanna god idli recipe - Sabbasige sihi idli - Dill leaves sweet idli

Shepu chi idli
Saipe paanna god idli recipe - This is an authentic dill leaves sweet idli recipe of my hometown. In that part dill leaves are very rarely available and it is seasonal. Whenever it was in the vegetable market, we used to bring it and we were making dill leaves idly and dosa.
Many people do not like the flavor of this leaves. So, they reject to eat dishes made out of it. But, this is my favorite leafy vegetable and I can eat it in any form. Here we get dill leaves all around the year and I make either idli or dosa with it very often.  Being a sweet idli it needs to be served with ghee or butter.

Nuggekayi togari bele saaru recipe - Drumstick toor dal curry

Drumstick Thoor dal Curry
Nuggekayi togari bele saaru recipe - This is a Udupi speciality. A curry made with drumstick and toor dal is a great accompaniment for hot rice. This curry is simply adorable with the combination of coconut. This saaru is remarkably popular and my all-time favorite.
Whenever I have this saaru, I need an extra bowl of rice. I think, it is very important to mention here that drumstick is very nutritious and its popularity is because of its  taste and nutritive value. Vitamin C is plentiful in drumstick. It also contains Dietary Fiber, Potassium, Magnesium and Manganese. So, I am generous in adding drumsticks in curries and sambar.

Pudina kothimbir soup recipe - Mint coriander leaves soup recipe

soup in a serving bowl
Mint cilantro soup recipe - Mint Coriander leaves soup is one of my favorite soups. Soup is one such dish, that one can have it at any time of any season. I recently visited a marriage reception, and tasted this soup. I found it soothing, refreshing and filling. I obtained the recipe from the chef, later tried it a few times with some modification in the quantity of ingredients. The one small change I have made in this recipe is that I've added few chopped cabbages, which gives some crunchy bites and exercise to teeth.
