Passion fruit and Sun melon and brussel sprouts

  

I picked these when I had been to Puttaparthi, tasted passion fruit for the first time it was awesome, and the Sun melon too very sweet.

Baking obsession

I was so obsessed with baking, that I was baking something or the other every day which involved butter.I was consuming more and more calories and I had put on weight noticeably. So I went on a diet program , stopped baking for few weeks now. But now this baking obsession is back that I am going to bake something today. Looking for something eggless this time

My weekend at Udumalpet.

Had been home last weekend , and enjoyed everything that my mom cooked for me. Started with Idli and groundnut chutney went on with araichu vecha sambar, vepam poo vathal(neem flower vathal), avaraikai poriyal, lemon rasam for lunch. Dosa and vendaikai kulambu (this is a special gravy my mom makes for dosas/idli) for dinner. Next day had idli and chicken gravy for breakfast, Fish fry and chichken kulambu for lunch.

This weekend I bought puttu maker and idiyappam maker. In next blogs I will post recipes for sides dishes for idiyappam and puttu. These are my favorite and believe its good for health as its just steamed.
