Carrot Fry


Carrots, as known, is a very healthy vegetable which is rich in Vitamin A. I use them as much as possible in my regular dishes. Sometimes direct and grated, at times. I have seen many who doesn't like to have them as a curry .., because of the sweetness it gives to the curry.. For those.., frying them is the best way to have them happily in their meal.. Here I go with it.. It's a bit spicy because of which, must of the sweetness is suppressed.

Borugulu or Maramaralu Mixture / Puffed Rice Mixture


This is the most common road side bandi wala's(Street side seller) snack, popularly known as 'Muntha kinda pappu(Andhra)' or 'Jhaal Muri(in Calcutta)'.  Usually the bandi wala keeps a heap of Borugulu(Murmur/Maramaralu) and a claypot on the top of the heap with hot charcoal in it(to continuously roast the 'Borugulu' under the pot). Just before preparing, he takes a dried hallow coconut shell, adds some roasted 'Borugulu' taking from under the hot claypot to the shell. Around his  'Borugulu' basket he carries chopped tomato, onion, boiled chana dal, fried peanuts and all the other spices in different vessels. He adds up all one by one and mixes them thoroughly and finally serves them in a paper cone topping with some coriander leaves... Aaah! It sounds so mouth-watering isn't it???? I love to have one for sure whenever I am on the 'Tankbund' pavements.. :) Also, in the streets of 'Tirumala(Place of Lord Balaji's temple)'. It tastes really special there!! Let's go ahead with the recipe now.. shall not make you wait much longer now :)

Methi Aloe / Potato Curry with Methi


Today I have come up with one of my own recipes.. wanted to prepare some gravy curry with aloe yesterday. I wanted it to be done real fast and so thought of doing this way.. all I had was potatoes and an Onion and Tomato and few dried methi leaves.. you can also use fresh methi leaves .. so, this came out instantly and also tasted great... I have actually served this with rice but I am sure this would go perfect with rotis/poori. Give it a try :)

Borugula(Mumur) Upma / Puffed Rice Upma

This is dish made with puffed rice/Borugulu/mur mur. An easy recipe which goes ideal for the snacks time.. This is one of those dishes I have learnt in my priliminary cooking days from mom :) Kids would love it for sure.. But, remember, it tastes yummy when served hot. Once it gets cooled.., you would not enjoy it.. So, plan it 30 min before you want to serve.
