KOKI RECIPE | SINDHI KOKI RECIPE

Koki roti, i first tasted in Kailash parbat Singapore. I vividly remember, one day me and hubby went for shopping and were very hungry after that. Went into Kailash Parbat, ordered a chaat platter , lassi and this koki too. But after the lassi and chaat platter we can't finish the koki roti as it was loaded with ghee. It was so nice and from that day itself i wanted to try this at home. Koki is traditonally a Sindhi recipe. I finally tried this last week. We all enjoyed this at home. Traditionally it is shalow fried in ghee, but i didn't do it at home. But if you like, you can add more ghee while cooking. Though u see cracks in the edges of the roti, it was very soft and not dry. The method by which we make makes it to look like that. Try it at home and let me know how they turned out. I slightly adapted the recipe from a Sanjeev kapoor's recipe.

SUKKU MALLI COFFEE | SUKKU KAAPI RECIPE

I was first introduced to this coffee(kapi, to be more precise in tamil) by our neighbour aunty. Sukku is dry ginger and malli means coriander seeds. I have told about her in this vadai post too. Almost every week aunty makes this and brings piping hot sukku kaapi in the evening for my mom and paati in a big vessel. Initially me and sister will not even taste this as we feel that it is not meant for us. But aunty and even their daughters who are of the same age always tell us to try this kaapi. This drink has medicinal values too. It relives headaches, aids in digestion and keeps you energitic. This can be made with simple ingredients available at home. Slowly me and my sister started liking this and after that forgot about that. After so many years i made this today. It was raining heavily for tha past 3 days and thought this will be perfect one to enjoy this weather. When i had the first sip, it gave me lot of nostalgic memories of our childhood in our Madurai house.

NUTELLA FRUIT SANDWICH RECIPE| KIDS FRIENDLY RECIPES

Nutella is always popular among kids. My kids are a great fan of nutella. Though i don't give it to them very often once in a while, i spread it for them in bread and give for breakfast or pack for snacks. Last month when my sister was here she was telling me to add some fruits to sandwich and told me an idea to make jam sandwich. Instead of jam i chose nutella and added strawberry and banana and grilled the sandwich. It was a super hit among kids. Since strawberry oozes out water, it is not ideal to pack for them, but if only nutella and banana is added, you can pack it for them. But i can say, this sandwich is tastes best when it is served hot. You can add any fruit of your choice. Check out my chocolate cheese grilled sandwich. 

DHABA STYLE DAL TADKA RECIPE| DAL TADKA

Dal tadka, though it is simple but many of our homes dal is a staple item. Especially for vegetarians, dal is the great source of protein. The way they make dal tadka in road side dhabas are always awesome. I still remember our travel to Haridwar from Delhi by road. It was some 12 years back and we told the driver that we want to eat food only in dhaba and not in any restaurants. Still when i think about the food the taste will come to my mind. The piping hot tandoori rotis, dal and subzis will be awesome and the tall glass of malai lassi is the highlight. I wanted to recreate the smae taste at home, but somehow, this masoor dal tadka was bit close but i won't say it was dhaba style. Last week when i was casually browsing for someother recipe, glued on this recipe of dal tadka here. I didn't alter anything and just followed the same recipe. It was exactly the same style of dhaba wale dal tadka. The smoky flavour gives the exact flavour of the dhaba style. Try this at home and i am sure your family will enjoy it.
