One of my colleague always used to bring this tomato saar as she loves it along with the steamed rice and ghee. For lunch, even I used to enjoy. When I asked her the recipe, she was ready to share the same with me.
Tomato saar is made with tomatoes, coconut and spices. This can be served as a soup and with steamed rice too. You will need fully ripe tomatoes for this. Very easy to prepare and quite appetizing.
Before reading this recipe, request the viewers first to watch the video how to clean the matter pod.
During winter, we get lot of matter i.e fresh green peas. Though I do not like this much, at times, it is ok for me to make the subzi.
Yesterday, my colleague, Mrs. Ranjana Narkar brought the subzi made out of the pod. I was quite surprised as it tasted awesome. As usual, when I taste something different, I always ask for the recipe and she shared the recipe with me which I am sharing with you all. I am sure, definitely you all will like it.
I would like to share some important thing about this subzi is that while peeling the pod, you have to be very careful as a thin membrane like part which looks like a plastic piece after removing it. It has to be removed very carefully. I am making this subzi for the first time and it came out very well. While peeling the pod, you will be bored and give up. But once your hand is set on to it, you will not stop yourself.
I have taken video of the same and uploaded on you tube. how to clean the matter pod.

You can watch that and go ahead with making the subzi. Remember, you need tender pods and not the dried ones.
Rasam or chaaru or saaru is a South Indian Soup traditionally prepared with tamarind juice, with the addition of tomato, boiled lentils and spices. Rasam varieties are endless. This can be served as an appetizer. Normally, it is a feeling in South Indian household that whenever you are having fever, rasam is prepared (normally served rasam rice).
Normally the rasam is prepared with boiled lentils, but I have made it in a different way here.
But let me tell you that myself and my elder brother is quite satisfied with any kind of rasam and we love to eat the rice with rasam and chutta pappadam (roasted papad). We do not want anything more than that.
Coming back to the Orange rasam, it is prepared with the orange juice and rind. Today, my husband is bit unwell and the servant did not turn up for making rotis. Hence he told me to prepare rasam rice for him. while preparing rasam,i happened to see one orange lying in the fridge. Hence thought of utilising the same. It was really awesome and I could not resist myself I just drank the bowlful of piping hot rasam, really enjoyed.
Halva is not liked by children and never bothered to eat that whenever I make it. They will taste and say yes it is good or bad can post or not that is all.
Banana halva is easy to make and a lovely side dish for chapati. I love to eat banana halva and chapati.
After the Satyanarayana pooja at home, around a dozen bananas were lying in the fruit tray and nobody wants to eat because it is over ripe. I was thinking of making banana halva since so many days, so got the chance to try my hand on it.
When I started peeling it, I realised that four out of the 12 are very bad. So I got 8 out of them.
Poha corn balls were very tasty and liked by everyone at home as well as my friends. First time I made it when I had made Kande Pohe. The poha soaked was in excess so I had to keep aside a cup of it. Was wondering what to do with it and tried with corn and bit tuvar dal and was quite successful in making the same.
I made it for the second time on 28th November 2014 for my neighbour Anjali & Rahul's wedding anniversary.
This is a kids friendly recipe as kids will love to eat this. You can serve this as starter too. So when you are having Kitty party, next time, you can try your hand on this.
You can prepare the same instantly provided you have corn in stock in the fridge. or else you can put some par boiled vegetables like beans, carrots etc.
Boondi laddu is made normally for Diwali, weddings etc. For the "Cheeru" means various kinds of Murkuu, laddu etc. are displayed in the mandap for the wedding and given to the Bride grooms family, ofcourse, it is distributed to the relatives of the bride too.
It is a sweet dish liked by everyone. When my mother in law used to make this dish, I never bothered to see how she is making it and only will go for binding the same into beautiful small balls out it. But once she was very adamant that I make the same and she will instruct me how to do it. Though I learnt the technique from her how to make this, I never bothered to repeat the process till I tried the same for my elder brother's 25th Wedding anniversary two years back and uploaded the boondi laddu in www.simpleindianrecipes.com. At that time, I was sharing my recipes with Dahlia, who inspired me to start my own blog.
Coming back to the recipe, it is basically made with bengal gram flour or besan it is known as and very delicious. My mother in law will make the boondis and put them in the sugar syrup, mix up and keep aside and she will bind the same next day only. But I made it after 2 hours and the same came out very well.
In this recipe, there is a slight variation, I have not used rice four. Today is my silver wedding anniversary (25th), and made it for the party.

Hello,
Today is our 25th Wedding Anniversary. To mark this occasion, thought of posting a sweet dish.
I have already posted one recipe of Orange burfi made with Mawa and orange pulp. This is yet another recipe which I made it with Maida. Though it does not taste like the one which I made with Mawa, you can still enjoy this flavourful dessert for a change.
Now the season of the orange is on, you can enjoy the natural fruit effect in the desserts. Orange is a rich source of vitamin C.
The fruit is low in calories, contains no saturated fats or
cholesterol, but is rich in dietary fiber, pectin. Pectin, by its virtue as a bulk laxative, helps to protect the mucous membrane of the
colon by decreasing its exposure time to toxic substances as well as by
binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. Pectin has also been
shown to reduce blood cholesterol levels by decreasing its
re-absorption in the colon by binding to bile acids
in the
colon.
Oranges also contain very
good levels of vitamin A,
and
other flavonoid antioxidants such as alpha and beta-carotenes, beta-cryptoxanthin,
zea-xanthin
and lutein.
These compounds are known to have antioxidant properties. Vitamin A
is also required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin and
is essential for vision. Consumption of natural fruits rich in
flavonoids helps the body to protect from lung and oral cavity cancers.
It is also a very good
source of B-complex
vitamins such as thiamin, pyridoxine, and folates. These vitamins are
essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to
replenish.
Orange fruit also contains
a very good amount
of minerals like potassium and calcium. Potassium is an important
component of cell and body fluids that helps control heart rate and
blood
pressure through countering sodium actions.
Hi viewers,
Thanks a lot for viewing my blog. I am presenting a simple and easy kootu variety with best out of waste product. Yes, that is the banana peel is normally discarded. We can make a variety of dishes with this. One such dish is the kootu I am sharing with you.
It is basically prepared in the tamarind sauce. But if you have any problem in consuming the tamarind, you can also use amchur powder or kokam in place of it.
Thalipeeth is a dish made by Maharashtrians which is quite healthy, tasty and easy to make too. It is basically made out of mixture of different flour which is also readily available in the market. However, if you cannot get it, do not worry. You can bring the whole grains and powder it in the mixer at home.
I used roasted vermicelli, roasted rava, rice flour, wheat flour etc along with shallots, coriander leaves etc and was liked by my children. Normally, they do not prefer to eat such stuff but it was piping hot directly from the tava to the plate, they enjoyed it along with sauce.

Mathan erissery is made with Red pumpkin. You need fully ripe pumpkin for this as the taste is awesome. You can also make the same with raw banana and yam or only with one of the vegetables.
This is basically prepared in a coconut sauce which is very very tasty and goes well with rice, chapati etc.
A speciality of Kerala and must for the feast.
