Mango milkshake with vanilla ice cream

It's summer and on the good side it's the season of mangoes !! We are all will be craving for some chilled drinks. This simple and humble milkshake is a quick easy one that everyone loves and will ask for more.

Quick lunch 3- Spinach side for rice with stir fry and pickle

The next recipe for a quick lunch is the spinach side. This is very easy to make and also quick which can be done in 5-7 mins. It goes well with any stir fry, pappad, pickle etc.

Paneer lababdar

Paneer lababdar is a north Indian mild tangy, creamy gravy which you can find in restaurant menus. This is very easy to make which goes well with naan, rotis, chapathi, paratha, pulao etc.

Baked penne pasta

My love for pasta is unconditional. Initially I was following the serving suggestions given on the pasta sauce bottle. Then I started looking for recipes and found a recipe for baked pasta. I usually look for recipes and try to recreate in my own way. Likewise I had made pasta bake without any pasta sauce and it was good. This time I made with marinara sauce and it was really yummy and a clean eat. 

Baby corn and coriander pulao

I will always do some random pick ups other than what I really need in my vegetable shopping. Likewise, I picked up baby corn without any idea on what to cook. Then I started searching recipes on baby corn sides, starters, main courses and at last concluded on baby corn pulao. Here I did this baby corn and coriander pulao with little bit of twists and turns on original recipe.

Butter naan/ flat bread

Who doesn't love naan!? Naan with paneer gravy is one of ma favourite combo. If I don't feel like having anything special in a restaurant, straightaway I will go for naan and some gravy...my comfort corner! Recently I thought of making naan bread at home and fortunately it turned out perfect. The process is little long but the result is worth the effort. You will get soft fluffy naans to have with any yummy gravies. This can be easily made on a tawa/in an oven. 

Strawberry with white chocolate smoothie

After having all those yummy shakes, cold and flu revisited me and still going on. Sadly all cold items are banned for me till summer and I couldn't have this drink. Strawberry with white chocolate smoothie is real yum that I could see from my husband's face and I couldn't resist so I just tasted a sip and it was really good. I'm now waiting for summer.

Pepper mutton semi-dry

I am a hardcore non-veg person but when it comes to mutton, I'm always a step back. Somehow I don't like mutton. So I prepare only once in few months. I make some other dish for myself and eat a small piece of mutton as a side for the whole meal. But this time things were upside down. As usual I started eating my meal with one piece of mutton but after that I continued taking more lol. This side was really yummy, so soft and juicy. I didn't feel it as a mutton dish. 

Microwave orange mug cake

There are some days that we do like to have some cake on that instant but thinking on the long procedure measuring, beating, baking in an oven for a long time and having the cake after an hour is really a tough part. On those days, these kind of cakes plays a big part and you can get the same taste as the normal cake.Microwave orange mug cake is a quick easy-peasy one that you can make it in mins. For the beginners in baking, can never go wrong in making this cake. You need only very small quantity of ingredients and max 2-3 mins baking time to make this mug cake.

Chicken curry/kulambu/gravy

This chicken curry is one of my favourite one. During my childhood, I was a big hater to idly. I can't eat more than one. But when my mom make idlies with this curry, I will have 5-6 idlies minimum. She will make such a delicious gravy. This chicken curry/kulambu is really yummy with rice,chapathi,dosa,idly etc. This curry is very easy to make for quick preparations, beginners and bachelors.

Oreo & banana milkshake with vanilla ice cream

Summer has started and it's time to have something to chill. All will be craving is for some chilled juices, shakes, ice creams, fruits on those hot hot sunny days. I'm waiting for summer here. Winter is on it's last stage and I have already started with shakes. We are having these as breakfast/dinner which is very filling, so can say "we are on diet" :D and of course very healthy too!! This Oreo banana milkshake with ice cream is such a yummy one. You will never fail in making. I promise!!

Mexican baked corn on the cob

Mexican corn on the cob is a super yummy snack with packed flavours of lime, butter etc. You can cook them on a barbecue or griddle pan to have a smoky flavour, then pressing and sprinkling with the ingredients. Here I have baked them by marinating which gives a pack of mild flavours.

Quick lunch 2- Lemon rice

Some of my friends asked me to post the recipe of lemon rice. This is for you guys and for all the lovely people following kitchen yoga :) Lemon rice is a part of quick lunch. This with any stir fry especially with potato tastes the best. I compromised with fresh mango pickle and mangetout stir fry since I didn't had any potatoes at home.

Chicken fried rice

This easy indo-chinese fried rice is a quick lunch idea when you have minimal of veggies at home. For veg fried rice, replace chicken with veggies. You can use carrot, beans, mushrooms, baby corn, corn kernels etc.

I don't have step wise pictures for some recipes since I started to picture each step very recently. This one is before that, but very easy to prepare with just detailed steps.

Burger pav bhaji

You all must be wondering why I have used the name 'burger' pav bhaji. Bread, bun or any kind of such stuff are the least selling things in our home. So I usually find alternate ways to finish off before the expiry date as those come up with 3-4 days max expiry :(. During my last shopping, I bought a packet of burger buns and was struggling to finish it off.

Thatta payar/ vanpayar with veggies curry

So this would be my amma's next easy recipe thattapayar/brown beans with veggies curry... :) This is one of my favourite curries and I don't want any side for this. It tastes so so good... Every time, I make lots to have for the whole day.

I have started clicking step by step pictures for my recipes. Soon I will start posting the recipes with detailed pictures :)
