  • Pasta with marinara sauce - An Italian Delight!

    When we were shopping the other day, we couldn't move beyond the sauces aisle. Just because I had a packet of Pasta at home, I cannot compel my husband to but pasta sauce to go with it. But I did. He tried his level best, but I didn't move from that place. What can he do? If I was a 5 year old, I...
  • Spaghetti for Thanksgiving dinner!

  • How to make Chipotle's Burrito Bol at home

    Even last Saturday we went to Chipotle. It has become one of our favorite hang out. Mainly because of the Burrito bol that they serve. I love the combination of black beans and rice. It always makes me lick my finger, in this case fork. I initially thought that you require some kind of mexican...
  • Pasta in Chilli Sauce

    After coming to the US, Pasta has become a weekly dinner for us. Atleast once in a week I cook Pasta for dinner. This makes it harder for me. If I cook pasta the same way, my big baby here is not eating. He wants variation. Cooking for him is more work than preparing for a math exam. Every meal...

Navaratri Series - Sundal and Sweet, Day 5

When You say Navaratri, I automatically say Dolls for Golu. I love the doll collection. Every year we make it a point that we buy atleast 1 new doll for our golu collection. Though it has become more costly now a days, it is a tradition in many houses to buy atleast 1 new doll every year.

Shopping for Golu is fun! We generally go with our granny to shop. We all believed that she knows more about festivals than anyone else in the whole world. It is like this in all the house. Is it not? Granny knows more when it comes to traditions. Some traditions are favorable to us but some really get to our nerves. Leaving all that apart if you see Navaratri as a festival which teaches about our culture and history, it gives more pleasure and satisfaction.

So you all know that I am going to talk about few golu collections. But you have to wait. Come back tomorrow for more. As for today, I am ending this post with today's navaratri Prasadam - A sundal and sweet.



Chickpea/Konda Kadala Sundal - This is a very healthy sundal which I prepare often for snacks.



Pumpkin Halwa/Kasi Halwa - Actually this Halwa is made with Ash gaurd, the white pumpkin. As I did not get white pumpkin, I prepared this with the orange one which was equally delicious.

Do check out my other Navaratri Series Recipes.
