Apple payasam

This was made for Gauthappan because this vacation I couldn't make anything for him and I wanted to do something to make him feel happy. The vacation was sort of stressful and Onam wasn't a celebration too. But being a mom, your heart won't allow you to stop caring about your lil one. Even though the mood was not festive, the lil one deserves some pampering, and to taste the "once in a few days privilege" he get as a son from his Mom.

Sometimes I feel like what a bad Mom I am, but my lil one used to pacify me saying, "Amma I know you are away from me for your work, and I know its for me you are trying" Sweetheart, I feel I don't deserve to be your mom, sometimes thinking about it; what an understanding matured baby I got. 





So going to the dish I prepared, apple payasam, and apple in payasam, sounds different right. But I can assure you, it would be finished in 5 mins, won't even allow it to get cooled ☺️



Ingredients
Apple chopped finely - 5 nos, I used with skin
Dates - 5 nos pitted
Water - 1 cup
Ghee - 1/2 cup
Brown sugar - 1 cup
Milk - 2 1/2 cups
Clove powder - 1 tsp

Oats chocolate chip cookies with peanuts

This is the the richest cookie I have ever made.  It is loaded with all that i love, peanuts and chocolate in whatever form it can exist. When it was baking in the oven my little cat was making a visit to the oven multiple times to check it's done. And the first bite right from oven almost burnt his mouth 😁 The outcome was so rewarding for the eyes and the taste buds.

Grilled Chicken in Quinoa Tortilla wrap

Healthy meal preparation is so satisfying, as we know we are feeding our loved ones with clean food. When I say clean food it does mean, non processed, with balanced nutrients, and not in expense of the taste. These healthy tortilla wraps are so yummy that you will not even imagine it has so many hidden good stuffs in it. I am like my mom, she is too smart to hide the good stuffs in whatever she prepares and we will not even know what we just ate had something which we hate if given in its form. Now I have acquired that smartness too and just few days back I prepared an Avocado Mango smoothie for one of my colleague and she told, "I hate Avocados! My mom would be surprised if she comes to know that I had Avocado. But how yummy your smoothie is ! " I was glad that I could make someone eat a healthy thing which they hated ever, and my hiding skills worked out.  The same lady was fooled by my papaya halwa, she is a papaya hater too :P Fooling people is good som...

Egg biryani

Biriyani - The most rated and loved dish in India. Be it north or south, biriyani fan club chain is impossible to break. Now I am going to expose one secret about me and Biriyani. I know once I reveal, there would be a lot of haters for me, but this is just my personal opinion and I am all in support for all its supporters. So the thing is growing up, the name of biriyani was like a hype which hit me, and I remember craving for biriyani back then. I used to think, oh man; who discovered this wonderful dish. But lately, I think I lost the love for biriyani, not only biriyani but sort of all Arabic food. I am not a big fan of arabic cuisine, even though the foodie in me can eat any food and respect and appreciate every cuisine; for some reason the ingredients of Arabic cuisine is not going well with my taste palette as well as tummy. But I m a big supporter of food lovers, and having the core fans of Arabic food at home, I have to prepare, but I love preparing as well. Coz for me what...
