Winged Beans & Moongdal Stir Fry

Winged beans, i have seen them since ages, thank god finally i saw them at Indian store during our last trip. Nowadays we can able to see super fresh Indian vegetables very much frequently in Indian stores, happy for it, but trust me the prices are seriously very expensive. If we want good Indian foods at home, we shouldnt count the money na. Coming to this recipe, its a simple but a delicious stir fry i usually make at home. Except i went for winged beans, these beans will have a crunchy texture even after cooking, this makes the difference between this winged ones and the normal beans.

Winged beans are also know as Goa beans, Asparagus pods, four angled bean and winged peas, in tamil we call it as Sirahu avarai (சிறகு அவரை ). You can make pickle with this winged beans which tastes simply fabulous too, but somehow i sticked to the usual stir fry as am cooking this winged beans for the first time here in Paris.Sending to my own event Healthy Diet-Vegetarian Side dish guest hosted by Nandoos..

Butter Beans Salna|Butter Beans Parotta Salna

Have you ever tasted parottas with fingerlicking salna when the weather is down, if not seriously you are missing something. Salna and parotta makes a prefect pair and one of most famous salna is chicken salna, the roadside shops serves this fingerlicking side dish with hot flaky parathas. Usually people prepare salna with mixed vegetables,eggs or chicken, for a change today i prepared this salna with some pressure cooked butter beans.We love parathas very much especially for the salna we get from the restaurants, coz this salna tastes extremely delicious with idlies or dosas. Obviously we buy less number of parottas and ask for more salna.

Coming to this butterbeans salna, this side dish gets ready very much easily, you can go for any beans if you dont have or dont like butterbeans.Along with beans you can also add veggies too if you want to make your salna more healthy and tasty,however salnas can be made with anything eventhough my favourite is always Egg Salna.Today is the first thursday and its time to post a vegan dish for Vegan Thursdays, an vegan event running twice a month, am posting this fingerlicking,nutritious butter beans salna for the event.

Eggless Butterfree Avocado Chocolate Chips Muffins - A Guest Post to Savitha

Life is bit lazy nowadays may be coz of the weather, its raining nonstop or else its too chilled to go for a walk, all i want id to sit at home next to a heater. Coming to today's guest post, this cute looking avocado muffins with chocolate chips goes to Savitha's space. Savitha, we chitchat rarely but she is a wonderful person who never failed to make me smile. She is so friendly, very jovial and one more down to earth person i crossed in this immense virtual world. Thanks to this bloggy world,i have wonderful peoples around me.Savitha asked me to write a guest post for her,before am leaving to India.She didnt asked me any specific category and when i asked whether she want stepwise pictures, she was kind enough and said to stick with my style of clicking.Without any hesitation, i went for a baking that too with my favourite Avocado.



Avocado works wonder in bakes, i have already tried making a brioche with it. Apart from making shakes and salads, you can use avocado very well in your cakes. Avocado puree replaces very well the fat content in bakes like butter,oil or shortening. As usual since i dont want to run behind the eggs,i prepared this fabulous looking muffins as eggless and butterfree.
