Aloo paratha recipe - This is an easy to prepare aloo paratha which I like to make often. When my kids were small they were not eating vegetables. Therefore I thought of stuffing the vegetables in the roti itself and I was making thepla. Later I started to stuff almost all vegetables (except bitter gourd), dals, beans, sprouts, etc. Thus, my family developed liking towards parathas and still I am continuing it.

Aloo gobi paratha recipe - This aloo gobi paratha is prepared by using potato and cabbage as main ingredients in the dough. I have made this paratha by using the method of mixing the ingredients, kneaded the dough to soft, rolled to round  and then shallow fried with ghee.
if compared to the stuffed parathas, this method is much better and can be rolled very easily. By using this method any one can prepare parathas very quickly. This method is popularly known as thepla.

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 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.
