H
ello All,

Hope all of you are doing fine and had a great new year start & Yes am fine too. It's been long since I blog, just caught up with few things guys and Thank U all for asking my well being.

Let's start with the Salad, it's a simple & colourful salad I made with just few hand picked things like:


Chickpeas Salad

Ingredients:

Chickpeas - 3 tbs [Soaked few hours and boiled]
Cucumber - 2 tbs [ finely chopped]
Carrot - 1 [finely chopped]
Grape - 2tbs [ chopped]
Salt - to sprinkle
Chat Masala - 1/2 tps
Spring Onion - 1 tbs [ finely chopped]


Method:

Toss all the ingredients and enjoy :-).. simple isn't it? :-) Ahh btw these spring onion are from my little garden...you can replace them with onion too.



For Pasta with Stir fried Veggies again simple pasta recipe and my recipe changes every now and then as I just add ingredients whatever I feel like.

Ingredients:

2. Boil tomato, onion and red chilli for 5mins in hot water and puree it.

3. Soak soya chunks in hot water for 10mins, squeeze and keep aside.

4. Soak kasturi methi in hot water with 1/2 tps salt for 10mins. Discard the water and keep aside.
