Badusha | Balushahi | South Indian sweet recipe

Badusha Recipe

Soft melt in mouth badushas are anybody's favourite. But for me i never liked them when I was young, but as I grew up this sweet really brought interest to me for its uniqueness. In these past few years of marriage I have tried this sweet many times but never got to post the recipe on the blog. So last week when I had this craving for something sweet, I made this delicious badushas and we all enjoyed them at home. Do try it and let me know.

Kathirikai Gothsu | Brinjal Gothsu side dish for Pongal

Kathirikai Gothsu Recipe

Kathirikai Gothsu (Brinjal curry) is a famous South Indian side to Idly, dosa and ven pongal. Somehow the combination of this with Ven Pongal is totally mouthwatering. The slight tangy spicy dal combination is truly an easy curry/ side to make. This is my own version or take to Gothsu, some use ground powder to spice up the gothsu but this is very simply and light way to make this delicious side.

Khaman Dhokla Gujarati Snack Recipe | Instant Dhokla

Khaman Instant Dhokla Recipe

Dhokla- a light sponge like savoury cake is one of my favourite snack recipe. I still remember gulping soft dhokla along with orange slush in Gangotri a popular North Indian chaat shop back home. I never knew dhoklas can be made easily at home, I remember grabbing dhokla instant mix packets from super stores and making them at home for tea. But once you become a food blogger life changes, you grow out of the instant masala / recipe packs and learn to make things from scratch. I have tried this recipe many times and every time it works magic, makes perfect soft spongy dhoklas. Traditionally Doklas are made with bengal gram lentil that is soaked for hours and then ground to a paste. By calling this recipe instant I have used gram/ besan flour. 

Moist Honey Muffins | Butterless Honey Cake | Jewish Honey Cake

Moist Jewish Honey cake recipe

Once I started to bake I was fascinated to try honey cakes, although my quest to cracking the right recipe was a task in itself. Honey cakes are unlike the usual cakes where beating the eggs is of prime focus but not with honey cakes. This cake requires less beating and simply mixing until combined. Honey cake is a traditional Jewish cake done during Rosh Hashanah feast. This is a perfect recipe that never fails every time you try them. I have used my silicone bundt muffin liners to make this gorgeous cake. The best part is they can be had warm and of course with a cup of tea. 
Pouring some honey on the warm muffins adds a bit of sweetness to them. 

Chocolate Oats flavoured Yoghurt | Kids flavoured yoghurt recipe

Chocolate Oats Yoghurt

Being a Chocoholic I love to test chocolate recipes at home and yesterday was one such day. I wanted to try a homemade chocolate yoghurt with some different ingredients. Trust me this is so delicious and can be added into popsicle/ kulfi moulds and kept in the freezer. This is a lovely recipe for those immediate sweet cravings. Its best enjoyed chilled. Are you someone who buys canned flavoured yoghurt for your kids? did you know most of the canned food contains fructose which is the cause for weight gain and also other ingredients that are not safe for kids/ adults. You can make flavoured yoghurt at home and sneak in some healthy ingredients which your kids cannot guess. This recipe can me slightly modified for coffee lovers with addition of instant coffee powder.
