Vegetable Jalfrezi

I have tried many a side dishes for roti's, but never a mixed vegetable gravy. It had been haunting me for a long time, until today. I tried this recipe from a cookbook and luckily it turned out well. Being separated from the family, my hubby decided that the menu's in Bangalore where the family is and in KL will be the same to the extent we can manage. And so we did on day 1, since the new deal. A simple vegetable Jalfrezi!!

Cheesy Carrot Kati Roll

Kati rolls are yummy on-the-go snacks. We had planned a movie nite at home, and needed something easy to munch on, rather than a fussy plate. So I prepared the stuffing and the rolls ahead of time and microwaved them!!!

Carrot Chips

Was bored of preparing usual sambar, rasam and curry. So decided to make some chips instead, though a bit tricky initially the end result was worth while.

Carrot and Spinach Soup

Carrots and Spinach are very healthy and nutritious dish. Its a very simple and non fussy dish as well.

Carrot Onion Curry

Carrots are something we never miss on our weekly shopping. Usually we go for a kosmalli but this time we prepared a carrot and onion curry. Tastes awesome with hot rasam and papad which was our dinner for tonite.

Once the onions turn golden brown, add steam cooked carrots, salt, chili powder and saute. Serve Hot.

Carrot Kheer

Carrots are so healthy and it was my hubby's star birthday and I thought carrot kheer might be to his liking.
