Carrot Palya is a simple homestyle Stir Fry made with Grated Carrots. It tastes great as a side dish. Can also be eaten as a Salad if served Raw 

A simple home style carrot Palya that takes less than 5 minutes to put together if you have grated carrots on hand. If you have a food processor, grating carrots is a breeze

Serving this as a Raw Salad (Kosambari)

You can also make this as a Raw Kosambari (Salad). Instead of sautéing the carrots, Add the prepared tadka into a bowl of grated carrots, 

Add salt, grated coconut & coriander & serve. This tastes delicious as well. My Mother In Law makes it this way

Do Not Overcook the Carrots 

The Idea of sautéing the carrots is to remove the raw taste in them. Do not sauté them for more than 2 minutes as they will get over cooked a start turning mushy

You Won't Need to Boil Pasta Separately Anymore Yay !!

Spaghetti Cooked With Marinara Sauce & Vegetables In An Instant 

Pot. This is an Easy One Pot Meal & Can be made under 30 minutes 

I can't believe I tried this recipe  2 years after getting the instant pot. This Instant pot Spaghetti recipe is so good & so quick 

Its quick because you don't need to boil the pasta separately & mix in with the vegetables & sauce. 

It took me less than 30 minutes right from cutting the vegetables to serving this. I am never going back to my old way of making Spaghetti ever again  

 You Will Need:

• 1 packet Spaghetti - 1 Lb 
• 2 cups Marinara Sauce
• 3 cups water 
• Half an onion - diced 
• Half an Yellow, Red & Green Peppers - diced
• 1 small Carrot - Diced
• A few sliced black olives

We all need a little bit Sweet, sometimes. Which is why you Need this Brownie Recipe in your life. Single Serve Desserts are a great way to satisfy your dessert cravings. 

One of my favorite quick mug cake recipes has always been The Eggless Chocolate Banana Mug Cake but I was looking for a single serve Brownie Recipe, that I can bake in the oven 

I came across this Brownie recipe & made a few tweaks to get the right texture. While, it can be made in the Microwave as well, Baking it in the oven gives it a better texture.

I know that baking a single serve dessert for 12 minutes is a ridiculously long wait, but its worth it

You Will need:

• 4 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
• 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder 
• 2 & 1/2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
• 1 & 1/2 tablespoon Coconut Oil - Melted
• A pinch of Sea Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract 
• 2 tablespoon Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips 

What Kind of Baking Dish to Use ?

Substitute For Maple Syrup

You can try using Honey instead . Since Honey is thicker than maple syrup, you may need to add a splash of milk to adjust the consistency of the batter 

Can I bake this in the Microwave?

Yes, you can. You will need to pour the batter into a Microwave safe mug or a bowl & microwave for 90 seconds

But the texture of an Oven Baked Brownie is going to be much better. So, try baking it. 12 minutes isn't that long :)
