Green Gram coconut curry chapathi sidedish | Pachai Payaru Kuruma

Green Gram coconut milk curry

I really ought to say I miss blogging, writing a post, clicking pictures, it so happens that I have no motivation to blog these days, its been weeks since I post a recipe here. I know many of you wondered and even asked me what happened, I think I am lacking inspiration to blog although cooking inspiration is still alive. I do try to make 3 meals everyday, but I don't plate up and blog. I hope to get back soon and I just though better late than never so I took out my camera and started clicking pictures today. Here is a fresh post and fresh start (hopefully). 

Green gram or pachai payaru is a protein rich food, its also nicknamed the protein food for vegetarians. I usually cook green gram every fortnight as a lunch curry for chapathis. Everyone at home loves this delicious and simple curry and it so had to be blogged about. I also know that green gram is said to lower blood pressure and fill up your tummy. I have earlier shared recipes with green moong - Pacha Payaru Masiyal, Green gram mango salad, Green gram dosa, Chickpeas & green gram salad - . Lets move on to today's recipe. 

Eggless Mug Cake Recipe | Vanilla Mug cake

Eggless Mug cake recipe

Eggless Mug cake is one recipe that I keep making for a really long time. I really wonder why it took me such a long time to post this recipe on my blog. I have not blogged in a while and many of you have been asking me what happened. I was just busy with things at home and took a short break. But I promise to post recipes often. 

This 2 minute mug cake is eggless, quick to do and the softest. The cake is so soft, moist and delicious. This is one cake that is so quick to put together and with ingredients that are easily available in your pantry. I also have a chocolate mug cake recipe (Eggless) which I will post one of these days. 

Cranberry Spiced Cookies {Eggless} | Easy Cranberry Cookies

Eggless Cranberry Cookies

I love cookies and ones that are simple to put together. With all the Christmas cheer and some family time I had planned to bake these spiced Cranberry cookies as part of the Christmas goodies last year. I know I am so late at posting this recipe but better late than never. These cookies are neither crunchy nor soft but just perfect with the flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg and cranberry, it seems like this is a magic combination. You can even add chocolate chips to this recipe or nuts and flavor them the way you like. They store really well and last upto 10-12 days in an air tight container. 

Majestic Chicken | Andhra Style Majestic Chicken Recipe

Majestic Chicken Recipe

Its the first day of the year and I have been on a complete holiday mood. Some good times with family and a long roadtrip what other better way to spend the holidays? I have not blogged in a while and it seems so hard to get back to a routine although I would love to. Lets hope the new year brings some new changes with me and the blog. I pray and wish that the new year turns to be happy, hearty and healthy for all my dear readers. 

Wishing you a happy new year 2015

Majestic Chicken is a popular dish in Andhra Pradesh, you will find this recipe featuring in most menu cards. Although I have heard a lot about this recipe I never got a chance to try this dish. So the first time I made this recipe it was too good and I cannot remember how many times I have tried this recipe at home. My husband and I love Chicken Majestic so much, we also love any Indo Chinese recipes like One pot Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice,  Chicken Spaghetti, Fish Manchurian, Grilled Chicken, Garlic Chicken and so on.

Sprinkle Shortbread Cookies | Christmas Recipes 2014

Sprinkle Shortbread Cookie Recipe

This Year I am baking a huge batch of assorted cookies for friends and family.  I will sharing more Christmas cookie recipes on my blog, hopefully by Christmas day. I was doing too much baking that I got tired to share recipes on my blog. I have always wanted to try these shortbread cookies, they are popular on Pinterest, but for some reason I kept postponing to bake them. Last week when I saw my friend +Sangeetha M  bake these cute cookies I thought its time to bake them ;-). Bite size Christmas shortbread cookies sounds interesting right? and this definitely is such an easy recipe too. If you have any kind of sprinkles just go ahead and make these. They are soft buttery and so attractive that you don't want to miss baking them for christmas. I could not find christmas colors like red and green sprinklers so I went ahead and used mixed colors and they look so attractive nevertheless. For more Christmas Recipes click here.
