A simple tea time snack for kids.Serve it to your super active kid sure they will enjoy!(ps: my kid loves to eat banana as such than roasted one but his mom will finish it soon :P)

Carrot burfi / Gajar ki burffi

Carrot burfi is a mixture of carrot,milk,and nuts and sure it tastes divine.An easy to prepare recipe with less ingredients.Did you check my carrot halwa , carrot juice and carrot milkshake recipes?

Sukhiyan

Sukhiyan is a traditional Kerala snack made up of green gram and jaggery.It is a highly nutritious tea time snack for kids because both green gram and jaggery are good for health.Green gram is rich in fiber  and protein.Jaggery is rich in iron.Jaggery helps to build immunity too.

Paneer tikka kathi roll / Paneer kathi wrap

Again with a yummy filling recipe.Yea paneer is rich in calcium along with vitamin D and protein.

Mulai payaru sundal / Sprouted Green gram sundal

A healthy after school snack for kids..I used to Sprout green grams but unfortunately both my hubby and kid don't eat it in raw form.So I used to prepare sundal or fried rice with it.

Sprouted green are rich in anti oxidents, minerals and vitamins.It is a low caloric food so highly recommending for weight loss diet.

Vegetable cutlet

Carrot juice

Again I'm with a super tasty healthy drink! Yea..it is carrot juice..I love to make different juices or my little Prince Kannan.When his vacation started I decided to prepare different juices for him..Started with Pomgranate juice and made Beetroot juice and Grape juice too

Carrot juice is rich in vitamins.It is rich in beeta carotene which is converetd in to vit A in the liver.Carrot is known for its anti aging property too.

Cabbage rice

A healthy rice recipe...Kids are fussy eaters so it is very difficult  make them to eat veggies ( here kid is better than mom...:P) Anyway last week my hubby bought a big cabbage and I made this cabbage rice .Really it was a hit ! You can prepare it for your kidus and pack it in their lunch box I'm sure they will enjoy with pickle curd ,raitha or Tomato sauce

Oats ladoo

Again I'm with an easy to prepare dessert!This is one of the easy sweet dishes that we can prepare within minutes.

This is a yummy  simple and healthy ladoos with oats.You can replace jaggery with sugar but jaggery with coconut and ghee will give you  a different taste

Rava ladoo

An easy and quick dessert.I don't know from where I got this recipe.I wrote it in my book but forgot to mention the source.Anyway in the original recipe they used coconut too.But here i avoided it and made some variation in measurements too.If you prefer sweetest version use more sugar.

Pazham pori/ethakkappam/banana fritters

 Pazhampori/ethakkappam is the most popular Kerala snack.Myt Achan (father)used to buy it from tea shops during childhood.But When my Amma retired from the service she too started making it often.We loved to take it with hot tea during evening.

Vanilla ice cream

I usually follow an old method for preparing ice creams - using egg and ice cream powder.  

But this recipe is entirely different and the main attraction is that it is eggless !!

If we can prepare ice cream at home itself without an ice cream maker and with minimal ingredients, would we ever choose to eat ice cream from outside?? After all, home made is always the best right??

Oreo milkshake

I wanted to try this for a long time and finally made it on last sunday.
The climate tends to be too hot here in Chennai most of the time, so definitely this Oreo milkshake is a real refreshment.

Beetroot juice

Beetroots are rich in folic acids and minerals. My hubby is a die hard fan of beetroots .Whenever he goes to the market, he buys kilos of beetroots without fail !!! So this vegetable is an inevitable part of our family's diet. Though i dont like the taste of beets much, i somehow try to consume it in the form of beetroot stir fry . I usually add more lemon juice and water during the preparation to suppress the beetroot taste.

Chicken omelette for toddlers

I came across a chicken omelette recipe in the blog  Cooking N baking . I made slight variations in the recipe and prepared it for my son Kannan and he gulped it up all. So this is a 100 % toddler approved recipe.. :) Kannan is 2 years old now and he loves the chicken curry prepared by me. But since he is unable to chew the chicken pieces properly I usually make chicken cutlets for him. This time I tried chicken omelette instead of  simple omelette .

French fries

A few weeks back, one of my friends asked me for french fries recipe. But I was not confident enough to post it on my blog at that time because whenever I used to prepare it, it was good to eat immediately as hot fries. But upon cooling, it turned soggy.

Oats badam milk shake

                            Oats badam milk shake

Ragi halwa

                                Ragi halwa

Ragi is well known for its rich calcium content. This is even given as first cereal food for babies due to its high nutritional benefits. Ragi is rich in calcium, protein and iron. I have tried several tricks to make my 2 years old son to eat ragi. Making kids love the food has taken the top priority. He doesnt like sweets so I prepared this porridge with salt .That also he rejected.
