                                                  Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup
I love sweet corn vegetable soup and sweet corn chicken soup! And it doesn’t need to be winter or monsoon to enjoy my favorite soup. A comforting, thick and filling soup without being heavy. Delicately flavored broth that has carrots, corn kernels, cabbage and beans going into it.

Judging by the ingredients, many of you will expect today’s Potato Korma to be tasty. Yes, I am confident about your positive reaction to this Korma. I did blog a recipe for Aloo Korma earlier but today’s recipe is a slight variation.
                                   
                                               Palak Pakoda ~ Spinach Fritters
Palak Pakoda is a monsoon snack that is super easy and quick to make. I found the freshest farm grown spinach at the Farmer’s Market (rythu bazaar) and decided on making a North Indian style snack Palak Pakoda.


                                                     Apple Cinnamon Muffins
I hope you had a great holiday season and wonderful start into the New Year. Am starting the new year on a sweet note. Baked a batch of Apple cinnamon muffins that have stolen the hearts of my family members. The aroma of cinnamon and the flavor of apple and chocolate chips make the muffins a special, tasty, homemade treat.

                            Teepi Kakarakaya Pachadi ~ Sweet Bitter gourd Pickle
A much cherished and relished vegetable in our home is bitter gourd. A favorite of mine is today’s bitter gourd pickle with a sweet flavor that happens to be one of Amma’s specialty dishes. What makes it palate pleasing is the addition of jaggery and tamarind combined with a tempering of curry leaves and dals that add for a bit of crunch. Sweet, sour and tangy flavors that are enticing and addictive.
