Tasty and healthy Oats Paratha

Oats form a prime ingredient when it comes healthy diet and has become a daily breakfast  food  for most of us! However having the same  breakfast everyday can become quite boring .. So instead of having the regular bland oats porridge for breakfast, I thought why not turn it into something tasty by grinding the oats and making a chila  out of it. Here's how you can do it!

Ingredients:
1 Bowl Oats Flour
2 Tsp Yogurt
1 Onion
2-3 Green Chillies
Ginger
1/2 Tsp Red Chilli Powder
1/2 Tsp Cumin Seeds
Salt (To Taste)
Water
Coriander Leaves
Oil

Yummy breakfast of French Toast -- The Singapore Way!!

My favorite breakfast at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore was French toast. It was served soft , not too sweet with just a hint of sugar, a bowl of honey and a banana split and sauted in butter covered with almond flakes. It was delicious, light to eat but kept you satiated till lunch time!!

Meeting South in Singapore!!

One of the softest and best idlis, I have had in years was at a small restaurant in Singapore called Murugan Idli Shop just opposite famous Mustaffa store. The yummy idlis are served in traditional style on a tray with banana leaf, four different chutneys and a delicious bowl of sambhar. While the entire South Indian menu is very mouth watering my vote is for the idlis and filter coffee. 

Sweet Singapore Diaries !!

Every place you visit offers so many new experiences in terms of  sites to see, knowing the people, enjoying the food etc. etc. I am in Singapore and and getting exposed to a lot that's different! Yesterday, loved the absolutely divine Rose and lychee cake with gold petals! The slightly strong rose flavor was brilliantly blended with the subtle lychee flavor to create a superb combination. The cake was not too sweet and rich! The gold petals added the touch of richness!

My Singapore Trip !!

It's amazing how much sea food is sold, cooked and eaten in Singapore... Excellent displays of raw sea food and mind boggling variety of cooked stuff !!

Quick & Yummy Idli Upma

Often we end up having idlis or Rice Dhokla left over and wonder how to give it that fresh steamy feel the next day. Here's what you can do to convert left over idlis and dhokla into a delicious upma in just a couple of minutes. 

Crumble the idlis/dhokla and keep aside in a plate/bowl. Heat 2-3 tbsp oil in a nonstick pan. Add half a teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1-2 Red Chillis(chopped green chillis optional) broken into halves, 1/2 teaspoon chopped ginger and a few curry leaves.

Allow these to crackle, lower flame and add 1-2 tbsp of finely chopped onion. Saute till translucent. Now add the crumbled idlis, a little salt and some freshly chopped coriander leaves and a sprinkling of water. Cover the pan and allow to steam for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with coconut chutney. 

You can also pack this in a tiffin and enjoy it cold at work.
