Sabudana Kichidi / Jawarisi Upma

How to make Sabudana (Tapioca pearls) Kichidi

         This is a popular Vrat (religious fast) recipe in Maharashtra, India-but you don’t have to be fasting to enjoy this chewy, hearty dish. Being rich in Carbs, this can be served for breakfast or an evening snack.

       You will love the delicate balance of spicy-sweet & tangy flavors in this savory Upma, which is further made interesting, with golden roasted potatoes and crushed crunchy peanuts. This can be eaten by itself, but if you like; you can have some yogurt or pickle on the side & gobble away.

Instant Mango Lassi

How to make Instant Mango Lassi

                   If you are far away from home; it's not easy to get your hands on the famous Indian Mangoes which are sweet & rich in color with a smooth texture. Mango Lassi is a global favorite. Traditional recipes, call for canned Mango pulp or fresh, ripe mangoes. Since I didn't have the traditional ingredients, readily available, I decided to use the store bought Mango juice/drink to make this Lassi & 'Voila'!! - You don't have to wait for a special occasion to whip up this Lassi, anymore.
