Steamed Moong Kabab

 

Hi all..Iftar is an enjoyable moment for any muslim who is fasting..Sipping the first drop of water or drink after fasting for the whole day, the adorable feel is hardddd to describe in words..It is usually better to take light food which is convenient for the stomach after fasting..However, almost all of us used to fill our dining spreads with fried and baked food for iftar..Many of us forget the fact that, we can even make steamed starters/snacks which r tasty as well..I feel this recipe can motivate u to try more steamed recipes for the upcoming iftar feasts..

Tapioca Vermicelli Balls

Hi frnz..Well, today I m here with an extremely delicious recipe which I m sure it will be a lip smacking favourite for u guys..If you satisfy your kid by a recipe, it is the best recipe according to me, and my little one really loved it and was asking for more..So, that's enough to describe it I guess..I was thinking to do a nonveg snack to be a pair with Iftar porridge as well as dinner..And came to a conclusion of making a kabab..Initially I thought of making it with mutton, and then changed my mind to make it with Beef since we haven't bought it for a few months..And believe me, this is my simplest version of kabab, no sautéing, no charcoal, yet no no compromise in taste at all, n a crowd winning recipe for sure..Ok, let's make it..

Nendran Banana(Yethanka)Chips

So I am back after a few days of break..I am sure the rcp is going to be ur favourite..It's Nendran Banana Chips..Yes, I know it's your favourite, n there won't be anyone here who dislikes it..Isn't it? ☺️ ..It is best served as a snack for tea, as a side dish for Kerala and South Tamilnadu veg meals feast in restaurants and during occasions, and stays always in the store rooms of almost every home for guests..If u are preparing a simple lunch for a lazy day at home, like Curd rice, Tomato rice etc., just these chips are enough to be served as the side dish..

Soya Chunks Falafel

Soya Chunks Falafel..Falafel, you might be very familiar with it. A popular lebanese starter/snack, which serves as a good accompaniment for hot soups and tea for the evenings. To make a slight twist, I tried this falafel with Soya Chunks, which I found yesterday on MasterChef Sanjeev Kapoor's website, and tried the same day itself. The taste was absolutely good with tomato ketchup, though traditionally it is served with dips.

Whole Wheat-Beet Egg Momos

Momos..A popular no-fry starter/snack, belonging to the dumplings category of recipes..Wikipedia says, it belongs to Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, Darjeeling, and Sikkim..Usually it is made with all-purpose flour(maida)..But, we can do it with whole wheat flour as well..Ofcourse it will be slightly thicker and chewy than maida momos, but it tastes very good n healthy too..

Strawberry Rava Idli

Strawberry Rava Idli..A sweeter version of rava idli made with strawberries!! The strawberry season was already over, but luckily found a single pack while shopping. So, I used it to make this kids special rcp. An year back, I tried the same rcp with mangoes, which I found from the internet. It was too good n I thought of making it with strawberries this time.

MunthiriKothu

Munthirikothu..An exclusive traditional Rcp of our Kanyakumari district..Very yummy n all time favourite snacks for us..Usually made in larger quantities for special occasions..A bit tym consuming, but definitely worth trying it..I m so glad after making n tasting it..

Pazhapathiri

Another Rcp from our native, so commonly served for evenings.. Absolutely delicious n I bet u can't stop with jus one..For me, the minimum consumption is 5 😂 n I did the same this time too 😉..Since it is made from completely healthy ingredients, u can use this as one of the best ways to feed nendran banana, a very good weight gainer to your kid..Make a try n serve ur loved ones!!

Ghee Puttu

Puttu is a dish which takes time to eat n not liked by many ppl especially kids..If u hav some leftovers from breakfast, sometyms u really wonder wat to do with it..This Rcp is for u, which u can make in a few minutes, n it will get over within minutes too!! I still remember my childhood days eating this as an evening snack..

Urad Dal Milk Bonda

Urad Dal Milk Bonda..A sweeter version of urad dal vada(methuvada)..Tastes so juicy n delicious..A healthy evening snack for kids..Especially for those who dislike/got bored with idlis..

Bread Kozhukattai

I usually prefer wheat bread for us than the maida bread..Bread is a superb food with which u can make magics..Y not to go in some desi style with this western food?..When I saw this rcp, I decided that I must make it, and I did..Soo yumm..A different variety of kozhukattai from the ones we usually make..Another kids favourite..Try this once n u will make it often..

Mutta Surka

Mutta surka is a popular tea time snack in Kanyakumari district..It is a kuzhipaniyaram variety. Usually we make this with rice flour. I have made a small difference in this rcp by making it with left over rice roti(we call it as oratti) dough..Tasted great with a cup of tea!!
