AMBADI PACHADI

Ambadi in Konkani is nothing but Hog plums where coastal Karnataka people love this sour fruit. They are hard and fibrous. Its leaves and fruit is used for the treatment for stomach ace, swollen joints, curing cold and cough and many more. NOTE : Avoid using hog plums during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
We use this for making gasshi or pachadi as it acts best as a souring agent and tastes super delicious with steamed rice.

CHOCOLATE BOWL

This is a must try guys. My hubby tried this creative chocolate bowls made from ballons. I filled each with cake slice and fresh pineapple slices. You could also serve with  icecream scoops too. Not only kids but also adults would adore these chocolaty dessert. These goodies are always better anytime when you could eat the bowl ;)

NOTE: You can make these bowls look attractive by dipped the top of the ready chocolate bowls into the melted chocolate and then pressing them into sprinkles. I wanted to try that but i did not had enough sprinkles for that. So do try these and let me know the results ;)

CHUTNEY WHEAT DOSA

This is an awesome way to finish it up leftover chutney if any. It tastes so good that we can have hot dosa as it is though it has salt and seasoning in it. I prefer having it with pickle ;) For a extra bite and crunch, you can add even finely chopped onions. Though mine was onion chutney, there was no need to add fresh onion.
Mixed up with wheat flour makes a good healthy breakfast.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 Cup Leftover Chutney

1/2 Cup Wheat flour

2 tbsp Rice flour

1 tbsp Chopped Onion(optional)

1 Green chilly

1 tsp Jeera.

Salt to taste

Water as needed

Oil for drizzling on dosa.

METHOD
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except oil and make a thin running batter. Make sure there's no lumps.
Heat tawa and spread dosa evenly. Drizzle some oil towards the sides. Flip and cook on both the sides.
Serve hot with pickle.

CHEESY SOYA IN CAPSICUM CUPS

Cheese filled snacks are liked not only by kids but also adults who loves to have dairy products. My family is crazy of milk products and when it comes to cheese they will adore like anything. On my today's recipe I prepared soya masala which is filled on the bed of capsicum and is topped with cheese. This tastes super awesome and is the best ever filling snack. Instead of soya, you can add any type of ingredient or leftover veggies as well.

INGREDIENTS

1 Capsicum

1/2 Cup Cooked soya

1 Pearl Onion

1/4 tsp Ginger Garlic paste

Pinch of Pepper pd

Salt to taste

1 tsp Butter.

Handful of Grated Cheese.

METHOD

Cut the cleaned capsicum veggie and discard the seeds. Sprinkle some salt and place them on a baking sheet. Heat butter in a oil and fry the onion for few seconds. Then add ginger garlic paste and saute till the raw smell disappears. Add pepper powder and remove from flame. Let it cool down for 5 min. Now fill the soya in the capsicum cups and garnish with grated cheese. Bake them at 180 degree for 10 min.

Serve hot.

ENJOY!!
