gulab jamun in a serving plate
Khawa gulab jamun recipe - I love sweets prepared with khawa. Gulab jamun prepared with mawa is tastier than gulab jamun prepared with ready made mixture available in the shop. I found gulab jamun fried in the ghee is tastier than oil fried. So I fried them in ghee to make it more tastier and flavorful.

Matar mushroom bhaji - Green peas mushroom sabzi

bhaji in a serving pan
Matar mushroom bhaji - Today I have come up with matar mushroom bhaji for you all. Here button mushrooms are available throughout the year and you can make varieties of dishes with it. Though the green peas are seasonal, frozen green peas are available in any grocery store. This bhaji is really a spicy version with full of aroma. It is very simple to prepare and the whole process takes few minutes. I am sure, you will definitely enjoy the preparation and taste of this bhaji. I have added kala masala to give it a twist of Maharashtrian tatse. Kala masala is totally optional. If you don't have kala masala, you can use garam masala instead of kala masala.

Aloo methi stuffed paratha recipe - Potato methi paratha

Aloo methi stuffed paratha recipe - One of my common practice is to make stuffed parathas or mix and roll theplas at least 2 to 3 times a week, so that kids have vegetables with roti simultaneously. I have already posted few parathas and theplas recipes earlier. But aloo methi paratha is my all time favorite. It has mild fenugreek leaves flavor and soft texture on account of finely mashed potatoes.

Thalipeeth using bhajni - My previous post was bhajni for thalipeeth. I have prepared this thalipeeth using that flour. This is one of our  favorite breakfast dish. Sometimes I make thalipeeth and serve with some chutney and yogurt and my breakfast task gets over. Thalipeeth is prepared with different versions in Maharashtrian house hold. Sometimes, I add sweet corns to the batter as it gives different texture and taste.

bhajani in a plate
Bhajni for thalipeeth recipe - Bhajni is nothing but a flour made with roasted rice, green grams, black grams and bengal grams with other essential ingredients such as coriander seeds, cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds. Bhajni is a Marathi word.  I have posted bhajni for chakli earlier. But, this bhajni is slightly different than the bhajni for chakli, as the flour for chakli is ground to fine powder whereas the flour for thalipeeth is coarse.

Apple strawberry fruit punch recipe

fruit punch in  serving glasses
Apple strawberry fruit punch recipe - It is a perfect time to prepare some cool, really very cool drinks to beat the scorching heat.Today I have prepared this fruit punch with apple, strawberries and milk. I used the fruits available in my refrigerator. I had strawberries and apples. This is a very delicious and filling fruit punch which can be made in a jiffy. In summer, we feel like drinking something cold rather than eating something spicy. In such situation, I just prepare milk shake or fruit juice and we are more than happy to consume it for our breakfast. You can also add other fruits like banana and chikoo while preparing fruit punch.
