Overnight Savory oats recipe

Overnight Savory Oats recipes using quick cook oats, made in South Indian style curd rice. I have been eating Overnight Oats for the past few days. I am trying some combo of fruits everyday, but still after few days i craved for some salt version in the morning. So i tried the curd rice version and i shared that in Jeyashri's kitchen Instagram story too. It tasted so yum and i topped my Overnight oats with raw mango pickle and some pomegranates too. If you want to try a different version of oats do give it a try and i am sure you will love it. My next trial is with rasam and a cold rasam overnight oats😉. Also you can top it with vatha kuzhambu or some roasted crushed mor milagai too. Instead of pomegrantes you can add chopped grapes too.
Please ignore my the poor pictures. It was continuously raining and i could manage to click only such pictures.

Home made cardamom powder, How to make elachi powder

Cardamom powder recipe with video, how to make elachi powder.
Cardamom powder, elakkai powder recipe using whole green cardamoms. My mom used to make cardamom powder and home and keep it in the refrigerator, which always is handy while making payasam, kheers and even for tea. Many years she was grinding cardamom along with little sugar and store it. Later she started doing this with raw rice and it gives nice volume to the cardamom powder. I have heated the cardamom in a pan as i don't get direct sunlight like how we get in the terrace or balcony. If you have access to terrace keep the cardamom and rice for 2 hours and then grind into a fine powder. Else you can microwave this for a minute and then cool and grind into a powder.
If you have kept the cardamoms in the fridge or freezer, take them out and bring it to the room temperature and then proceed.
Though i don't prefer elachi in my sweets but still add it as it enhances the taste. This cardamom powder is always handy when you are making sweets in a hurry. I have seen few of my friends take out the seeds inside and make a powder and they use the skin of the cardamom in tea. I feel the skin is flavourful too, so don't want them to be discarded. This can be kept in the refrigerator for 6-8 months in a airtight container. Also check out my

Caramel popcorn, home made caramel popcorn recipe, with step by step pictures, using dry corn kernels and sugar. Popcorn is the one we always enjoy during movies. When we were kids we used to get popcorns outside theaters in small packets and mostly i have tasted the salted version of popcorn. Later when the multiplex theaters started we used to get a variety of popcorn. Though i don't prefer sweet version of popcorn my kids love the caramel popcorn. I have made caramel popcorn for them at home twice but never clicked the pictures to post the recipe. Yesterday while organising the kitchen shelfs found some little corn kernels and thought i will make the caramel popcorn for kids snack box.
