NAVARATHRI SNAPS 2022

This year Navarathri was very special as we planned to keep 'Gollu' 🙂. Its the display of all idols and dolls which is of clay based eco friendly golu, representing major deities. It's a belief that goddess is present in our home for 9 days. So here's my few snaps of Navaratri days😃

My first attempt of keeping gollu at my home. In the top most step I have kept Kalash where I have placed a coconut tieing face of Goddess🌺 and Dashavatar (the 10 primary avatars of lord Vishnu).

In the second step, I have arranged Asthalakshmi (8 forms of Lakshmi) and Nava Durgas (9 avatars of durga).

In the third step, therez Vaikuntam or the Vishuloka and Kailasham.

In the fourth steps,therez Jyothirlingam and Goddess Parvathy with 6 faces Aarumugam (Karthikeyan)

Neivedyam was 'Goddu Appo' which was prepared by my hubby boy R❤. Though I was busy with other preparations, he took the responsibility of making Prashaad😍 and everyone just loved it. Recipe coming soon😍 

Last, but not the least 🙃 You all know what I do with Beautiphool remaining flowers🌸🌹🌸 Tadaa here it is👇

EGGPLANT SANDWICH

This is a quick, classic and simple Eggplant snack that really shines through. You can enjoy the flavour of cheese, tangy sauce, spice of black peppers, n at the same time a dash of Sweetness of eggplant. Most of the people hate this veggie (no idea Y ) 🙄 but me and my bro S just love them alot. Soo I prepared this dish specially for my brother on the auspicious day of Raksha Bandhan❤️ Yezzz hez crazy of Brinjals🍆 (king of veggies). Though hez currently staying abroad, me and my little.one tharoughly njoyed this snack all by ourself 😈 But one thing for sure whatever I prepare thinking of my bro, I make sure I definitely prepare for him whenever he visit my place 😍.  That's the stronge bonding of Bro and Sis👫          

Now coming back with the recipe, there’s no specific measurement for this. You can add more or less according to your taste buds👇🏻                                        

                          

 Method :

 I sliced the eggplant 1/4 - 1/2 inch thick cuts. Sprinkle with salt on the both the side and let it sit for 10 min. Now heat butter in a pan and shallow fry them on the both the side until it’s fully cooked or till you get a roasted brown colour. Transfer them on a plate and immediately place one Cheese slice on one eggplant slice when it’s of moderate heat. Keep it aside. Take another piece of slice and apply a spoonful of Pasta sauce ( I added Salsa) 😋and upon that few baby spinach , sprinkle some black pepper on top and cover them with ready cheesy eggplant piece, which would exactly looks like Sandwich 🍞 That’s it. Serve hot with ur fav crunches. Tastes super yummm👌🏻Do try it out and let me know how it was🙂

 Enjoy!!!
