Link it & Tag it

Its always a great feeling and a moment of pride when some one appreciates your work and rewards you. It is the same in case of Blogging too. When I started to blog a few months back (its almost 8 months now), I never knew, that I am entering into a whole new world of "Bloggyland"!! Thousands of Bloggers writing a post each day and you are just another small fish in the big Blogging ocean. I was mesmerized to see some bloggers write so beautifully, some click amazing pictures for their post & some highly skilled in their presentation. But when they appreciate your small effort, your collar gets a little high. ;)

The simple e-awards which I received for my blog was so motivating that it made me stick on to what I am doing and a bit more. "Tagging" a blog is the new way of awarding a blogger & am very fortunate that I have been TAGGED by Kim Burtland aka Kimby of alittlelunch.com Please do visit her website for the wonderful clicks, great writing, delicious recipes & her experiences in her own words. Thank you Kimby for "Tagging" me!! ;)

The whole idea of Tagging is to share seven posts from your blog in separate category. This is a great way to promote one's blog!! And am all ready.

  1. Most Beautiful Post: Am not good at photography, neither do I have an SLR but for me the most beautiful post would be Caramel Custard
  2. Most Popular Post: So far I have posted 84 recipes on my blog, but the simple Cafe Latte takes the top spot even after 8 months.Its the most viewed out of all.
  3. Most Controversial Post: I don't write about Politics or any other sensitive topics...I write about FOOD and there is nothing controversial about it, hence I will put my favourite post out of the 84. Pista Kulfi
  4. Most Helpful Post: Now what do I put here??? I have always been asked to put the recipes of Kerala Sadya dishes & many view the these dishes in my post quite regularly, so am linking the entire Category "Kerala Sadya" itself instead of one post.
  5. Post whose success surprised you: Many actually, but I guess, I will go with Thai Style Sea Bass
  6. Post that didn't get much attention it deserved: There are plenty of them, I guess each one of my recipe...;) But I will go with Chicken Fricassee. Its one of the delicious European style Chicken Stew that I have ever tasted.
  7. Post that am most proud of: I am proud of almost all my posts but if you ask me to pick one, it will be a tough choice. Nepalese Momo & Tomato Chutney is very close to my heart as this was the first time I ever made momos & came out yummy yum. Not an appealing picture but promise you that I will upload step by step pics when I make it again.
In case, you have missed these posts on my blog, please do surf through it. Am happy to share it with you all. Now let me pass this tagging trend of "Share 7 posts from your blog" to my favourite bloggers. The following blogs are TAGGED:


Eat, Drink & Be Merry!!

3 Ingredients / 3 Minute Microwave PEDAS

It's Celebration time all the way!! Why? Because My FB fan page has just reached 150 "Likes" & am so thrilled. Also, the festivities will start from August in India. First coming up is "Raksha Bandhan", the festival which celebrates the relationship & bond of a Brother & Sister. So I thought of coming up with an easy to make Indian Sweet Dish, "Peda". A "Peda" is a North Indian Milk Sweet mainly consisting of Khoa (thickened whole milk), sugar & other Indian flavourings like saffron & cardamom seeds. Pedas are usually made during festivities or for offerings made in the temple for deities. This recipe is a simple process of the same "time consuming" Pedas where the Milk is kept on the heat for hours to make khoa & then goes to the next process. This is the first time for me as well & I have taken this recipe from "showmethecurry.com" the cookery website of Hetal & Anuja. And I must say

Hundred Thousand Dollar worth Rava Upma (Indian Semolina Polenta)

Now you must be thinking, who doesn't know to make Rava Upma? What is so special about it? Every 5th person residing in India knows to make it and is a common breakfast item in almost all the Indian household. We Indians take this dish for granted. Well up until a week back, even I thought the same about this dish and looked down on Rava Upma. Not anymore. Last week I read a news about an Indian born, New York Chef Floyd Cardoz who won the top prize of £100,000 in an American show called "Top Chef Masters". No prize for guessing, he made RAVA UPMA!! After reading the article, I immediately decided that the recipe of a basic version of Upma must be on my blog. And here I am sharing the if not a "million dollar", then atleast a "hundred thousand dollar worth Upma Recipe". :) Upma is a popular South Indian Breakfast dish, mainly prepared by Semolina. It has a great resemblance with the Italian Polenta. It can be made with many variations by adding vegeta

Paneer Couscous Salad

Last two weeks were so hectic for me that I didn't find time to even open my blog page. Lots of friends coming home, cooking, eating junk, visiting places, our famous festival "Vishu" came up  & finally I ended up getting sick. I am still in bed but was so frustrated doing nothing that I thought let me post one of my healthy salad recipes which I had promised earlier. I saw this salad recipe in one of the BBC cookery shows & was quiet eager to make it. The original recipe suggests the use of Halloumi instead of Paneer. Halloumi is a type of Greek cheese made of mostly Goat's milk. It has the same texture of that as Paneer, hence I used Paneer. Must say, It was quite filling and delicious, perfect for a Summer afternoon. Ingredients: 200 gm couscous 200 ml hot vegetable stock / hot chicken stock 400 g can chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/2 courgette/zucchini (sliced) 200 gm paneer (Indian Cottage Cheese), cut 1 inch length wise 2 medi
