  • Now to this mixture add the wheat flour slowly by mixing evenly so that there are no lumps forming.
  • Now on the tawa add a little oil and pour the dosa batter and do not spread it it may spoil because of the wheat flour. So just put little batter and prepare small dosa by spreading it only little.

Amaranth/Thotakura Dal Fry

This is such an easy recipe which is very healthy dish i feel...and can be made very quickly with little ingredients. So lets try
this once and you will not leave it...Very quick dish for lunch boxes and for kids too..

HAVE A HAPPY LONG WEEKEND FRIENDS..!!!.


Ingredients :-

Thotakura/Amaranth leaves - 1bunch
Moong Dal - 1/2 cup
Onions - 1/2
Jeera - 1tsp
Oil - 1tsp
Green Chillis - 4
Red Chillis - 2
Salt to taste

Procedure :-

  • Clean the leaves thoroughly and cut them by removing the thick stocks.
  • Cook the moong dal in a glass of water and keep it aside.
  • Now heat oil in a pan and to it add jeera and red chillis and fry for 2 mins and add onions, chillis and saute it till they are soft.
  • When fried add the cut leaves, salt and keep the lid.


  • When it turns it colour a little soft add the cooked dal and mix it well and keep the lid again.
  • Let it cook till it is fried and no water in it.
  • serve it with rice. Eat it with hot rice will be great.


Tips :
Don't wash the leaves after cutting. If done so then the Vitamins in it will be decreased. So always better to clean first and then cut it. This is with all the leafy vegetables.
If the stem of the amaranth is very thick then you can save it in refrigerator and just use them in the rasam we keep. These taste good when cooked in that tamarind juice.

Cool Biscuit Cake

Thinking what this might be?????? Yeah me too thought a lot for this and kept this name...So at last finally my mind stopped at this name which is most apt one. I just tried something that is left over from so many days at home. I think this is the case with many people and will be left with just some. So can go with the recipe and enjoy the cool dish. You need very little items and can be made easily and a good snack for kids. Kids wil love these a lot.... :)




Ingredients :-

Biscuits - 1 small packet (Parle-G/ Marie biscuit pkt )
Kisses Chocolate - 10 to 12 (or any cadbury chocolates of ur choice)
Milk - 1cup Sugar - 1tsp (optional)
Butter paper - 1

Procedure :-

  • Firstly melt the chocolates in a pan or oven and keep it aside.
  • Then take one cup of milk (bolied and cooled). Dip the biscuit in the cup of milk and place it on the butter paper.(do not keep it for long in the milk else it may melt. So just dip and take)


  • Now apply the melted chocolate like the cream which is prepared on the biscuit. Again take another biscuit and follow the above procedure for 4 to 5 biscuits.


  • Now the biscuits are one above the other with chocolate applied the middle.



  • Roll the pile of biscuits in a butter paper carefully and just pack it.
  • Keep it in the freezer for 1hour. And take it out.
  • Lastly slowly unwrap the roll. And cut the roll diagonally into pieces.
  • Now you may observe the biscuit and chocolate in a zigzag way.
  • Serve chilled to the guests.(If its kept outside then it may melt and does not taste that good). Really it’s a yummy dish.
