Yet another day.....yet another worry....the biggest of all worries being "What will me toddler eat without any fuss today...??" Yes the stress is on the word "FUSS"...terrifying almost every mother on the face of this planet...is one lil 4 letter word.."FUSS"...!!!

This was just another day where i was racking my brains on what to feed her...she'd been sick for the past few days...and as we all know it's terrible to even attempt to wander around a sick child....& if your talking about food...gawd help you....!!

How to Put it in together:

Take about 1/2 Cup of water and bring to boil, now reduce the flame to Simmer and add Ghee/Oil(your choice), jeera, pepper, grated coconut,salt and finally Rice flour.
Stir gently with a wooden spatula so all the ingredients mix and come to a dough like density.
Switch off the flame and keep covered for about 5 mins not more(or else the dough might get fully cooked).
Now get all of the dough onto a large plate and knead well when warm(don't forget to grease your hands while doing this to avoid the dough sticking to your palms).
Shape them into 2" balls & make them into cup shaped.
Steam it and it's ready to eat.
Pour ghee into the steamed cup, taste's yummy when eaten hot...;)

+Green PeasPulao / Matar Pulao(One Pot Meal...;)

Matar/Green Peas Pulao(One Pot Meal): Weekend's somehow make me feel weak in the knees to eat rice...i feel really bored to have roti's & dosas the whole week through..!! My versatile pallets and the stomach who's used to eat variety from mom screams out and demands more variety on the weekends. However though a weekday today i broke the usual rules and cooked up my favorite "Matar Pulao" which doesn't take much time as well as it's not too much of a labor, since it all goes in one pot and pressure cook cool and serve, so i don't need to even wash too many dishes, so last night's dinner was Green Peas Pulao, Karnataka style with a slight variation for the sake of good health..;P What goes Inside: 1Cup: Basmati Rice(i used Basmati, since this is what i can acquire here easily ) or normal cooking rice of your choice. Spices: As per your taste you may add or delete the same(Cinnamon sticks+Green Cardamom+C...

+Homemade Indian Curds / Yoghurt/ Dahi/ Thair Recipe:)

+Homemade curds Recipe: It's amazing how life changes after marriage! Especially simple things such as consumption of curds too .....after being marrying a ' mallu boy ', I was amazed at the way they either mix curd in everything or rather cook almost everything with curd!! Initially it was a culture shock for me, a Rajput( being born n brought up one)!! I hardly had had curd ever in life until then!! Well as with anyone things changed gradually for me too....I understood far too quickly that I need to master the art of making well set curd as soon as possible...( yes...even curd setting is as good as Art..!!)... well finally after 10 years of marriage, two kids and infinite trials and error methods I came out victorious, this one really works well each time!!! The important thing is it really works well on our wallets too....and works fantabulous-ly on the health of our kids too..:) Now I can brag about making my very own dahi- Sakkar, dahi n parantha's, dahi Kari'...
