Sauteed veggies and dip!

Another recipe which has scored people's mind and I am not forced to post the recipe soon. This is such a simple dish, which cannot be even named as a dish, coz all ingredients are just randomly selected and the veggie day should be filling as well as fulfilling, so just added some ideas for making it ramp ready.

As you can see below it is just some very random stuffs chopped and sauteed with bare minimum ingredients. One guarantee from me is, you won't regret preparing this recipe, rather you would appreciate opting this, this simple yet yummy bowl of goodness.

This is yet another candidate of my healthy weekends, and of course all the motivation credits I am giving to BigBasket. They were so prompt about the delivery, waking me up the Saturday morning and presenting the fresh lovely veggies and fruits, and you know, that is enough to get that spark to start cooking right away.

So checkout this recipe and let me know you loved it!

Pidiyum Tharavu Mappasum - Rice dumplings and Duck curry in coconut milk

My Christmas 2017 was based on traditional dishes of Kerala. You would be very familiar with the name Pidiyum Kozhiyum, which is of course one of the favorites at my home. This time I thought, let me make some difference in usual culture and thought to accompany Pidi with Tharavu mappas, which is Duck curry in coconut milk. Duck is my favorite too, and Duck items would be in my Christmas spread always. I started the day with Duck stew, which is another authentic dish of Kerala.
