After having 15days of spiceless French foods during our vacation, we guys wanted to have some hot and spicy Indian dishes everyday once we came back home..So needless to say whatever i prepare with anything as anything with our Indian spices definitely makes us drool now..I prepared this fennel flavoured drumstick and jackfruit seeds curry sterday for our lunch,in which i usually add some chicken chunks, but this time i prepared simply as vegetarian version using drumstick pieces and jackfruit seeds which i have freezed before leaving for vacations, this curry tastes exactly like kurma and goes awesome as side dish with rotis or simply with rice and papads for lunch..Delicious curry tastes fabulous even with idlies and dosais also u doesnt need ginger garlic paste for making this curry, yep this curry gets ready in few minutes and also very easy to prepare..

Caramel Flavoured Vanilla Milkshake

Its yet summer here, but the climate was really nasty.. yeah its rainy and cold here..Even its cool here, i love to enjoy chilled desserts, my recent favourite is this caramel flavoured vanilla ice cream milkshake, this shake doesnt need many ingredients, just with few scoops of vanilla icecream, milk and storebought caramel syrup, this delicious shake is ready to enjoy..I truly enjoyed thoroughly this easy breezy shake, with an adult's help even a small kid can prepare this chilled shake for him..U can add cinnamon powder or cardamom powder to give more flavours to this vanilla shake if u dont have caramel syrup..




4scoops Vanilla icecream
1tbsp Caramel Syrup or 1/2tsp Cinnamon powder
1cup Milk

Blend the icecream, caramel sauce or cinnamon powder along with milk until they turns smooth, serve immediately..

Sprouted Black-eyed Peas & Tomato Kurma

Actually i prepared this nutritious kurma before leaving for vacations, but i wasnt able to post this droolworthy kurma before, this beautiful and easy kurma takes less time also its goes awesome as side dish with any sort of dishes from breakfast to dinner, yep i served this yummyilicious kurma along with hot steaming rice with papads for lunch and with rotis for dinner, this sprouted blackeyed peas gives more nutritious value to this simple tomato kurma also personally i felt its kinda better way to sneak sprouted beans..Needless to say that sprouts are very healthier also have many nutritious value when compared with usual beans, most of my followers would have seen or know that i love sprouting and i do prepare often dishes with sprouts..Sending this healthy kurma to CWS-Fennel Seeds guest hosted by me and to Healing Foods-Tomato guest hosted by PJ, event by Siri also sending to Divya's Show Me Your Curry..
