Sev Puri Recipe | Chaat Recipes
Sev Puri is a papdi topped with different veggies, chutneys and garnished with sev!!! It is one of the street food I crave for when we go to chaat shops, sometimes it's so hard to decide between all those yummies like pav bahjji, pani poori. This is one snack, which gives you crunchy treat with mixed sweet, sour and spicy flavours!!!
Making these at home is so easy. All you need is a few hours of preparation in your leisure and can be just assembled to serve for kids as snack after school or guests with a cup of coffee!!!

Vellai Poosanikkai Juice | White Pumpkin Buttermilk | Healthy Drinks
A simple buttermilk drink with white pumpkin/poosanikkai which has many health benefits. Amma makes this whenever we have mouth ulcers. I drink this now to keep my body flushed out of toxins, natural body coolant, and for weight loss as it is believed to take away water retention from the body. Amma advises to take it in empty stomach for best results. It is best to have in summers as you might easily catch cold with this coolant drink.
Fig Milkshake Recipe | Milkshake Recipes
Fig Milkshake was introduced by my best buddy who is also in Chennai with a busy life. We happened to catch up in Railway station when we both had gone to drop our parents.

He wanted only Fig combo of drinks and when asked about it, he shared the health benefits of figs. Then on, I make few drinks to bring fig into our lifestyle in a delicious way.

Paneer 65 Recipe | Veg Starters Recipes
Whenever my amma and I go to a restaurant, we order Paneer 65 as a starter which my dad doesn't like it. Sometimes, we order again if we like the taste, so he gives a stare like how come we enjoy eating it so much...! He never liked paneer and has tasted only when I started cooking, as he was the only person in my family who has eaten those bad shaped dosa's and burnt hard roti's. Love you Daddo:)
My Bucket List!!!
All of us have grown in different states or even in other countries, but we connect through our words and action. We all have our own dreams, passions and priorities. For some, my dream would be a least priority while for others it would be their life dream and goal that they want to achieve.

Papdi Recipe | How to make papdi for chaats?
Papdi's are small flattened puri's used for making chaat items like sev puri or bhel puri. They add crunch to the chaat recipes when loaded with veggies making it a one bite delight. I would say, Papdi as the hero of famous Indian chaats.
These are readily available in the market, but making at home gives you the satisfaction of using good oil. Trust me, homemade ones are best when compared to the readily available ones.
