ATHIRASAM

Athirasam sounds like a simple sweet with very few ingredients but is it is challenging to get to right even for seasoned cooks. After several attempts I am finally posting the recipe. Athirasam is prepared for both Krishna Jayanthi and Diwali without fail.

KAVUNI ARISI SWEET | BLACK RICE PUDDING

Tweet

Black rice is rich in anti oxidants and has lots of other health benefits. It was once known as forbidden rice in China and it was consumed only by the emperors.

This rice is called as Kavuni arisi in India and is very popularly served as a dessert in few South Indian marriages. This recipe is quite similar to black rice pudding served in China. This pudding has a very unique and nutty flavour to it. The dark purple color makes it appealing too. This can be had as an healthy breakfast too.

EGGLESS CHEWY BROWNIES

Tweet

I had been trying to bake a decent eggless brownie for the past few years but most of my attempts failed. The brownies either turned very gooey in the middle, or very dry, cookie like or sometimes even cake like. Finally I found a recipe that worked in a cookbook from my local library. The brownies turned out to be little chewy which we liked.
