Sakhar Amba / Mango jam

When summer  is here how can you forget Mango! I know mango is one such fruit for which we will be waiting through out the year. Mango is no matter raw / ripe it is always liked by everyone :). It can be used  in either form to prepare many recipes. Here is one recipe from my Mom's list which I learned  recently prepared using raw mangoes. Sakhar Amba / Gulamba  - sakhar means sugar and amba means mango in marathi similarly gul means jaggery. so it's basically sweetened mango. Mango is cooked with sugar and you can also call it a "Desi jam" :). olden days people used to prepare this during summer and use it through out the year. This recipe once prepared can be stored in air tight containers for months together. It's a combination of sweet and sour taste.This can be served along with chapati, paratha, dosa, bread etc..  We will go throught the recipe quickly!

Instant Ragi Dosa Recipe

I have already shared different varieties of dosa recipes like tomato, wheat, spinach, rava, wheat Dosa etc.. Ragi / finger millet dosa is also a instant and quick option for the lazy weekend breakfast. The procedure is  almost similar to wheat dosa / rava dosa ,you need not have to soak the batter overnight. You will get good texture for dosas if you use non stick pan, the gas should be set on high flame and pour the batter. Or else you can cut half the onion , apply oil on the pan and rub the pan surface with the onion.

Palak Paratha / Spinach Paratha Recipe

Palak/Spinach is very common easily available green vegetable and can be used in many ways in our cuisine in many forms like rice, salad, paratha, side dish, soup, dal etc.. I have already shared the recipe for Palak Thepla where I cook the spinach before adding it to the flour while preparing dough. Whilst this paratha can be prepared with minimal ingredients on a busy day in a less time. As I say always, if you are mastered in rolling the chapatis you can make paratha out fo anything! Lets go though the procedure.

Sabudana Kheer

Sabudana Kheer is a simple rich dessert which requires less time for the preparation provided you already have the soaked the sago/sabudana :) During fasting days we find various ways to fill our stomach and try finding various options in the so called fasting food and end up eating more :) So for such  experiments Sabudana Kheer is an option for people who have sugar cravings. I added color to the kheer you can skip if you do not like.
