Sweet Corn Clear Soup | Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup | Easy Vegetable Soup Recipe | Sweet Corn Soup Recipe | Restaurant Style Vegetable Soup

SweetCorn Clear Soup
Easy, healthy and delicious Restaurant style Sweet Corn Vegetable Soup Recipe with Step by Step Photos. I always love simple and clear soups than the blended/creamy soups. I often make Cabbage clear soup for me, it is like a diet soup. Except me no one likes that cabbage soup so for them I made this restaurant style Clear Soup with Sweet corn, Mixed vegetables & green onion(spring onion). It turned out good and even my kids loved this soup.

This is a mildly spiced, light soup loaded with fresh vegetables. You can add any vegetables of your choice, here I used Sweet corn, carrots, beans, cabbage, green onion. Like my other soup recipes, here also I used Homemade Vegetable Stock/Broth but you can use store bought or plain water too. But try to make it vegetable stock. Making stock at home is so simple and easy, if interested checkout my Vegetable Stock recipe. This time, I added a small piece of Cinnamon to my stock and the cinnamon flavor was well incorporated with the stock and the soup was flavorful and healthy too.

Methi Puri Recipe | Dried Methi(Kasoori Methi) Poori Recipe

Methi Poori Recipe
Methi Poori Recipe with step by step photos. Methi Poori is a deep fried whole wheat flat bread with Dried Methi leaves. My kids love pooris a lot but I cook it very rarely. And now the elder one started giving menu each day. I am cooking as per his choice now-a-days. Last week, he wanted Poori & Channa Masala for breakfast, that means Chole Batura. It was a busy weekday morning and I don't have enough time to make Batura that time, instead of Batura I prepared this quick Methi Poori. As this methi poori, doesn't require resting time and can be prepared in a jiffy.
So One side set Easy Channa Masala in Pressure Cooker and the other side fried Methi Poori. My kids happily had their breakfast :) I added little Rava/Sooji/Semolina to the dough, that gives crispy and puffy poori, and also the pooris didn't drink oil. As you could see in the pictures, poori were not oily. Outer crispy puffed layer and inner layer was soft. Now off to the recipe.

Kale Stir Fry | Kale Poriyal Recipe | Indian Kale Recipes

Kale Stir Fry
Kale or borecole (Brassica oleracea Acephala Group) is a vegetable with green or purple leaves, in which the central leaves do not form a head. It is considered to be closer to wild cabbage than most domesticated forms of vegetables, wiki says. Kale is rich in Vitamin K, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Iron, Magnesium,  anit oxidants etc.,Most important health benefits of consuming Kale regularly helps in blood glucose control in Diabetes and also lowers the blood pressure. Though I cook Kale dishes often, never get a chance to click and share here.
Like Broccoli, Kale also suits well with Indian spices and Indian recipes. The taste of Kale Poriyal is similar to that Drumstick leaves Poriyal. Though the fresh kale has different flavor from Drumstick leaves, the cooked one tastes like Drumtick leaves. I love drumstick leaves recipes a lot, but I do not see here often. So, started using Kale in place of Drumstick leaves. This Kale Poriyal is a simple recipe and makes a perfect accompaniment for Rice & Rasam or with Curd Rice, Lemon Rice & Sambar Sadham. We had Kale Poriyal with plain rice, Brinjal Puli kuzhambu, Vazhakkai Varuval & Fresh Homemade Curd.

Mutton Korma Recipe | Mutton Kurma Recipe | Mutton Curry Recipe With Cashew Nut & Poppy seeds

Mutton Korma Recipe
I was caught with cold & sinus headache so I could  not able to post Kitchen Basics Recipe last weekend. I will try to be regular with my post in coming weekends. Now coming to today's recipe Mutton Kurma, Mutton Kurma is a mildly spiced flavorful and rich curry using Mutton-Cashew Nuts-Poppy seeds combo. After my own try with Kozhi Milagu Kuzhambu I got confident to try few Non-Veg recipes of my own. And this Mutton Korma is my own creation, keeping the vegetarian Kurma recipe in mind I tried the same with Mutton. Only thing I added extra was Yogurt. Addition of fresh yogurt/curd gives nice texture and taste to kurma. If you haven't tried Mutton curry recipe with yogurt, next time try to add couple of tbsp of yogurt and you will be surprised with the taste and texture of the curry. And along with Mutton I wanted to add some aloo/potato & peas too. But I don't have peas in hand, so added potatoes alone.
