Gratitude Post

-


 As I reached the 45th recipe in my blog, I wish to share my gratitude to all the people who had kept supporting me and sharing their valuable comments/ feedback.   

Above all this, I wish to share my very special gratitude to the below-mentioned four people.

Today if I could say I have a passion for cooking it’s only because of the four people I mentioned below. By seeing them only I got an interest in cooking.

 From my childhood, till now I had been admiring their cooking skills/ taste. I'm grateful to the four people for inspiring me with their kitchen skills.

People who are close to me will know that I like feeding people. I developed this quality by seeing them.

 1st my Mother from whom I was inspired and learnt how to make cooking fast and also how to cook with the limited/given utensil. She never made me feel that cooking is a big task. During my school days, I remember within 30 -40 minutes she will prepare lunch and breakfast for me. The highlight of this is that she never does any preparation before night.

2nd is from my Periyamma (mom’s sister) she makes most of the north Indian dishes in an authentic way. Before cooking any North Indian dish, I always take her reference.

3rd Vasanthy Radhakrishnan aunty from whom I got to eat many authentic Kerala dishes. Her special recipes are the entire Onam sadhya menu, Ice cream and kappa fry. I basically don’t like the aroma coming out of coconut oil while cooking. But when she cooks more than the aroma of coconut oil the flavour of the food makes me forget about the use of coconut oil. such is her cooking speciality.

4th Meena Sagar aunty is 1 person from whom I had a doubt about how come a person is able to produce exactly the same tasty dish every time she cooks.

The below information is again shared by my friend Usha. who is an emerging life coach. I personally felt this topic is very much important and needed in the present world. It’s always better to get tips/advice from a relevant professional, who is generally non-judgmental. It’s a fact that only if we live with that person in person we will know who the real he (or) she is. Then why this Pre-marital counselling if you ask, it will give you a better picture of whether this person is ok to live with in person (or) not. And help guide us in many more things about a married life.   Importance of Pre-marital counselling: 1.        As the name indicates, it’s before one gets married.   Men and women have different physical and emotional needs.   They are generally happy and a bit curious to explore the institution called marriage. 2.      Marriage is an important event in life. It’s a lifelong commitment. However, it has many aspects which many people are not aware of unless they

Traditionally this Susiyam   /suzhiyam is made using Maida flour batter with Chana dal stuffing and deep fried in oil. For this blog, I made Susiyam   /suzhiyam in a healthy way by using apam/ paniyaram pan which consumes less oil. The twist in this recipe is, I made 3 different batters using 3 different flour to coat the stuffing. The flour I used are: 1.    Ragi 2.    Jowar 3.    Maida (used traditionally to make this sweet)   Ingredients: For Stuffing: 1.      Chana dal - 1 Cup (soaked for 10 minutes) 2.      Jaggery – 2 cups 3.      water 4.        Grated coconut -1 tbsp 5.      Cardamom powder -1/4 tsp 6.      Dry ginger powder -1/4 tsp. 7.      Pinch of salt .             For Batter : 1.      Ragi/Jowar/Maida – 1/2Cup 2.      Water 3.      Pinch of cooking soda 4.      Salt to taste.   To Make Stuffing: 1.      In a pressure cooker add the soaked Chana dal and 2 cups of water and cook it for 2 whistles. 2.      The consist
