Chemmeen Vada / Prawn Balls

Eid Mubarak to all readers!
Hope you had a great spiritual treat during this Ramadan. Now all of you would be busy planning and preparing a delicious Eid meal.. Here we normally make a chicken biriyani, which is the easiest, serves along with raita , pudina chammanthi or some pickle.We would meet so many relatives on Eid day, that is the happiest part, I think.
Here is an easy snack for you to serve joyfully in the eid evening.. Enjoy!

Kaayappola / Pazhappola / Egg and Banana Sweet

Few ingredients and a wonderful dish! Once you have, you will crave for it...
This is also known mutta marichathu in Malabar. Don't know what is the difference between kayappola and mutta marichathu, hope some experts could help.. :) Try using non stick pressure cookers or pans while preparing this to avoid sticking.
Am little busy, thats why not responding to your queries, please bear with me. Will try to reply you once when am free, insha Allah.

Tuna Biryani / Tuna Rice

I think some of you are really busy with the blessed month of Ramadan. I had got few requests to post some nombuthura(breaking of fasts) recipes. Frankly says, I would love to try out and post some, but am not doing it because am afraid it will affect the intention of fasting. I believe we should not give much importance for food and other worldly affairs especially in the blessed month. This month is to receive lots of blessings and rewards from the Almighty by making more duaas, offering more salah(prayers) , increasing Quran recitation and giving more sadaqa(giving in charity).. etc. (Click here to know more). I am sure most of you know this but many do not give much importance for it. Anyway I am leaving a simple rice recipe for you, I prepared this using the ready-made tuna chunks, so not much work like cutting and cleaning... :)

White Bittergourd Pickle

White pickles are the best option for those who suffer gastric problems when having pickles containing lots of red chilli powder. Both of my kids hate spicy food, so I prepared this pickle for them to take to school as a side dish with rice . If you love much spiciness add lots of green chillies and black pepper corns.
