Yummy Biryani!

When I was in London last winter,I was craving for Ammi’s Biryani,I was so desperate that day,& decided to prepare it,it was first time in life that i actually made an attempt ,otherwise i am such a lazy girl,

Doesn’t it look great..though it never tasted like Ammi’s Biryani 🙂

Malai Kofta

Today was such an hectic day..

But i am happy that my day was good  I am satisfied that i was able to do most of the stuff i had decided to.

As its summer time,there is so much possibility of food getting spoil.  That is what happened last week most of the time the milk would break & we happen to collect lot of paneer.

We have never prepared paneer at home nor had we cooked it any time.

But it was my longtime desire to cook it ,just that i was too lazy to do it.

Finally i cooked it today.

Yes i cooked Malai Kofta today,it was delicious,I never expected it to be so good.I was happy everyone liked it.

Another Healthy Drink with my much fav Tomatoes

Starting with the basics, tomatoes contain large amounts of vitamin C, providing 40 percent of the daily value (DV). They also contain 15 percent DV of vitamin A, 8 percent DV of potassium, and 7 percent of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) of iron for women and 10 percent RDA for men.

I think the trick lies in the way they are cooked.
