TULSI POOJA

Tulsi is a sacred plant in Hindu belief. Tulsi Puja is a rich traditional way of worshipping Nature๐Ÿ€. It is observed on Ksheerabdi Dwadashi in the month of Kartika. As per a blessings of Vishnu to marry Vrinda in her next birth. Vishnu in the form of Shaligram, married Tulsi. So in order to recall and to show respect to this event, the ceremony of Tulsi Vivah is performed. The significance of tulsi puja is really interesting. You can just google for the detailed info๐Ÿ˜Š
So this is my Tulsi pic where I decored with flowers, keeping Gooseberry plant nearby.  (That is considered as Lord Vishnu in the the form of Gooseberry) ๐Ÿ˜

Herez the look of my Rose decore Mandir, Simple design around Tulsi ma with Rangoli powder, Diyas, Aarthi items followed by Banana & Goddu Phovu (sweet phoha) as Prashaad.

This is my entire view of my Tulsi Vivah looked๐Ÿ˜

Finally sharing the pic of our apt Tulsi Pooja๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š

SCHEZWAN SHELLED PASTA WITH SCRAMBLED EGGS

Pastas are extremely flavourful, quick and family favorite recipe. Perfect for weekends dinner specially๐Ÿ˜€ I end up making pasta with white sause and also preparing in schezwan style method. When you have readymade Schezwan chutney at home then its supa easy to prepare in jiffy. I bet you would just love this preparation. I am a great fan of this S sause๐Ÿ˜ Its spicy and is loaded with different flavours. 
Kiddoes will just adore having this delicious dish. Infact its a better way to make them eat veggies too๐Ÿ˜ŠBuzzz what else mommies want๐Ÿ˜†
NOTE: Non veg lovers can add fryed Chicken Sausage. Equally tastes good and you can also make use of Olive oil instead of butter for this recipe. 

INGREDIENTS
2  Cups of  Cooked Wheat Pasta.
1 Onion
1 Cup of Assorted Veggies (carrots, beans, capsicum, cabbage)
2 tsp of Chopped Garlic
1 tsp of Grated Ginger.
2 1/2 tbsp Schezwan chutney sause
3 tbsp Paste cooked water.
Grated Cheese for garnishing (optional)
Spring Onions for garnishing
Salt to taste
Butter for sauting
INGREDIENTS FOR SCRAMBLED EGGS
2 Beaten Eggs
2 tsp Milk
Salt and Pepper to taste
METHOD
Heat butter in a pan. Add in ginger garlic followed by onions. Saute them till translucent. Now add the thinly sliced veggies and let it half cook for 3 to 4 min. Next add the schezwan chutney and mix well. Add pasta cooked water and dilute the mixture. This is the stage where you add the cooked pasta. Mix them well all together so that the masala gets coated with the pasta. Make sure the consistency should not be that dry. Add additional water if needed. Garnish with spring onions and cheese. Keep it aside. Now next for the scrambled eggs. Beat the eggs in the bowl followed by milk, salt and pepper. Heat butter in a pan. Pour the egg mixture and let it sit for 10 sec under low flame. Then using rubber spatula, gently fold the eggs on all the sides until the eggs are set. Do not stir constantly. Remove from heat and top on the ready pasta. Serve hot.
ENJOY!!!

MANGO PUTTU

Apart from normal white puttu,I tried something different adding Mangoes (king of fruit) to make Mango Puttu.๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’› Its very nutritious. Best way to make puttu colourful and interesting cum attractive especially for kids. These can be eaten as it is though it has gotten a sweet flavour. I have used mangoes as whole pieces as well as the pureed one to mix with the puttu powder. So lets dig into the recipe..

NOTE: Sweetness can be adjusted accordingly. I am just giving the rough measurement๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Šas some of puttu powder requires more liquid. 

INGREDIENTS
1 cup Puttu podi
2 Ripe Mangoes 
1 cup Fresh grated coconut
1/2 cup Grated Jaggery
Pinch of salt
Pinch of Cardamom powder (optional)
METHOD
First blend one mango adding little water until smooth paste. Make a small pieces with another mango. Now take a big bowl. Add puttu powder with salt and mango puree little by little to make it wet. To check the mixture if its ready, just take a small portion between your palms,and gently press, it should form a big lump. And when you press, it should break easily and crumble. But makesure the whole mixture should not have even tiny lumps. So mix it well using your fingertips. Let it rest for 15 min. In another bowl, mix coconut and jaggery together and keep it aside. Now take a puttu maker and layer it with 1 tbsp coconut  jaggery mixture first then 2 tsp of mango pieces and spread evenly. Then fill with mango puttu mixture and then again with coconut jaggery mix. Continue with the same process as shown in the picture till maker is completely filled. Place the maker on Puttu kudam or pressure cooker and steam for 7 to 8 min. Thats it ๐Ÿ˜ŠTasty mango puttu is ready to serve๐Ÿ˜‹๐Ÿ˜‹
ENJOY!!!
