Day 1 : Pasta Salad

I have decided to start a new series- to eat more salads. Started with this Pasta Salad

Recipe Courtesy: Recipemagic , yummytummy- italian dressing 

Didnt follow completely as in recipe, just added whatever I had in my kitchen.

Ingredients	Salad Dressing
Cooked Pasta, carrot, capsicum, onion, corn	Olive oil, vinegar, honey, chilly flakes, salt, pepper Finally sprinkled Knorr Salad dressing powder too, as we like it.

Malu liked it, minnu didnt eat well. Easy for me to pack as office lunch :)

Day 1 is success :)

Fish Puttu

Fish Puttu..It was just ok .need to increase some gravy next time.
B liked it . Malu ate with difficulty as she hates fish.Minnu was ok

Marble cupcakes

Not very nice 😊 My poor kids will eat whatever given as cake. Especially home made. So this finished in 5 minutes . I went inside and came back to see an empty plate .wow I should buy them some nice cakes soon 😂.

My cake qualities should be improved , now my only hope is in changing the oven. May be my oven is the culprit.

Grilled chicken

Chicken curry

 A simple chicken curry. BJ doesnt like chicken much, especially the curry versions. Kids are not so gobd of gravies so why shud I waste my energy making chicken gravies? But once in between some gravies will be nice. So this was an easy breezy chicken gravy. GOD knows what exactly I did, sometimes some curries turn out very tasty. Next time it will be utter flop. Anyways this turned out good.

Neychor

 During Eid holidays i saw someone posted neychor photos and got the idea. Made neychor and chicken curry . It was easy and a super hit. Malu said from now on this is going to be my favourite dish. Minnu also responded well.

I used very little ghee but still it was good. This goes very well with chicken curry and raita which they call 'kachamber'.

It was a long holiday so I added chicken grill,chicken curry,raita,pappad &achar ! All of us happy happy !

Black Forest Cake

Recipe Courtesy : Lakshmi Nair -vanitha


Tried first time to make a black forest cake, first time working with whipping cream.. Not so successful. Cream didnt come out well.. But the fun is - my kids love whatever i make in the name of cake :) So this finished very fast, in fact both of them waited so eagerly near me, to finish my tasks.  It was real fun !

I am not satisfied with the texture of the cake, I always believe its because of my oven, better luck next time.

Score:  I give 4/10, kids gave 9/10
