ORANGE PEEL PACHADI RECIPE

Orange peel pachadi is a traditional and authentic dish made at home . I have heard from my mom that my gradmother(father's mom) makes this so well and she makes for my mom when she was pregnant with my sister. I have not made this or had this as i don't like it much. During my recent trip to India, I saw my mom peeling oranges and when i asked her she told me that she is going to make the pachadi. I immediately took my camera and clicked the entire process . Though i don't like it much during my childhood days, i liked it this time along with Vathal kuzhambhu rice. 
The pictures didn't turn out well as the sunlight was bit harsh and i don't have much time to wait and click.

TORTILLA PIZZA RECIPE | KIDS FRIENDLY SNACKS RECIPE|PIZZA USING TORTILLA

Pizza , the name itself makes the mouth water for  almost all of us. Though we know it is high in calorie we still enjoy pizza and especially kids love pizza the most. All the time it is not economical to buy pizza for them at Pizza outlets and not good for health too. This tortilla pizza is the easiest way of making pizza. If you have ready made tortilla at home just go ahead and make this pizza. Even you can make this with left over Chapathi too. I made in Oven and 2 days back i tried this tortilla pizza in tawa too. It turned out well. so even if you don't have oven at home also you can still make this pizza.
