    Digging deep for clues on higher ground !

    Moon and stars sit way up high Earth and trees beneath them lie The wind blows fragrant lullaby To cool the night for you and i On the wing the birds fly free Leviathan tames angry sea The flower waits for honeybee The sunrise wakes new life in me.

    Moong(Green Grams)

    I am a self proclaimed  Dal lover and I love to make a  different one daily! I enjoy the feeling of  having FILLING FOOD, when I eat dal, rice, roti, subzi combo. Hence I am actually not very fond of Moong, coz this one doesn’t go with rice:-( Moong or green gram  are a storehouse of proteins.Moreover, the nutritious value of the moong increases many folds when these beans are sprouted.So don’t forget to include these green pearls in your regular diet My hubby likes Moong plain and bland,while my son and myself prefer a more spicier version.So I end…

    The week that went  by,was surely a crazy one, with lots of unusual, unexpected, ugly stuff coming in my way of sanity, thereby making me feel irritable (huh ..whats new in that?), frustrated and of course ranting and rambling. Agreed, that some good things did happen, like a Teejri fast (An Indian festival) which I enjoyed this year and getting cleaned my home (that was pending from hell lot of time), the rest of things kept my stress levels high and Blood pressure levels really low.Moreover hubby dear sulked for many days feeling cheated by much hyped awaited launch of…

    Simple salad and an award

    When Archana announced One D Salad, I thought I will come up with some good sort of salad, since I always have simple sliced cucumber, radish, beetroot etc as salad or at the most, the gujrati style cucumber-tomato-onion chopped salad. I thought I will search some good salad recipes and post them.Meanwhile Iboiled some moong to make moong parathas for my son.Now, to tell you the truth I just don’t like any parathas except aloo parathas.

    Beeh (lotus stem) Tikki

    Few days back there was a food event where in the host called upon for Pakora recipes and being a sindhi I have no reason not to participate in that, coz Sindhis are world illfamous  famous for their love for crispy pakoras , fritters, Tikkis etc, basically anything deep fried. But I wanted to make something special….something which is closely associated to Sindhi cuisine, is something unusual yet delicious….My thoughts wandered from Palak pakora to mix vegetable pakora but I wasn’t satisfied.Then after spending many days in deciding what to come up with, I zero in  down on Beeh Ji…
