First is the Onion Pakodas which I made using Asha’s recipe. They were crisp, tasty and everything Asha said. We both enjoyed it a lot. Thank you Ashakka for this recipe. Here is another recipe of Onion Pakoda’s which I have posted earlier in my blog.
Asha's Onion PakodasSecond dish is also from Asha’s blog. It’s her grandma’s recipe of Beetroot Palya and Grandma's recipe can never go wrong:) Beetroot is our favourite veggie(apart from another dozens of other veggies;). This recipe is a sure keeper for us as we enjoyed it simple rice and yogurt.
Asha's Beetroot Palya
Third recipe of Potato Saung is from Manjula’s blog. Boy!!! If you like tangy and spicy potato curry with very less ingredients and even very little preparation time then I highly recommend this for you. It was so delicious that we cooked it again in a same week. Thank you Manjula for this wonderful recipe.
Manjula's Potato SaungToday I am posting flowers and fruits and vegetable pictures from my Amma and Atte’s much loved and nurtured garden. You will understand how much they love gardening once you see these snaps.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the slide.Looking at the photos of flowers reminded me of home.I miss those colors.Here we maintain the "Lawn" like it's a religion or something!:D We do get some Tulips,Blue bells and that's it.
Have a great day tomorrow.I just baked a cake,nothing much else.
although i didn't get taht red colour of beet palya the taste compensated everything:) we both enjoyed it a lot:)
ReplyDeleteha ha ha... even i dont understand maintaing yards of lawns with few flower plants:) i have already started digging the lawn and K is not very happy about it;O)
Onion pakoras, beet root palya and song looks perfect. I'm yet to try out Asha's onion pakoras..its indeed a special recipe.
ReplyDeleteHey Thanks for reviewing my recipe. I guess I forgot to mention you can add green peas or cauliflowers into it for a new twist.
