Strawberry Dessert Cups / Strawberry Shortcake Parfaits

            

As Valentine's Day is here, we all have secret plans to please our loved ones but I strongly feel that love doesn't need any date and time to be expressed. You can always show your love for your loved ones by gifting them expensive and luxury items but what we do on a day-to-day basis for our loved ones matters the most. 

Love doesn't need any special occasion to be expressed. If you love somebody you can express it in a number of ways. I strongly believe that Food is one thing which is the best way to express your love and care for your loved ones. Treating your family members by making a sumptuous meal is an excellent way to express your TLC for someone.

So, to embark on this festival of Love I thought of making Strawberry Dessert Cups. This dessert is filled with the tanginess of Strawberry Jelly, creaminess of Yogurt and goodness of Strawberry Cake. You can add or subtract the ingredients as per your choice. Whatever options you choose I can assure you that it will definitely please your mind and soul.

So, let's begin with the recipe:

Today's post is about Potato Nuggets. We all love nuggets, isn't it? Whether you're an adult or a kid we can resist ourselves from having those cheesy and gooey nuggets. Whenever we urge to have nuggets we either go to any restaurant or get some store-bought nuggets. HOW ABOUT MAKING POTATO CHEESE NUGGETS AT HOME? I have already shared the recipe of Chicken Nuggets earlier. You can check it out here (click here).

Making Potato Cheese Nuggets is very easy and hassle-free. You can even make and freeze them in batches and use them as and when needed. They also serve as an excellent appetizer if you have some unplanned guests coming your way or you have any party at home.

So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Soft and Spongy Idli

           

Hello, my foodie friends....... I hope this post finds you well. In order to stay energetic and enthusiastic the whole day it's very important to have a healthy breakfast. I always stress on having breakfast and making it healthy.

Today's post is all about a South Indian delicacy Idli. Idli's are soft, spongy savory cake made from fermented rice and lentil batter. The lentil used here is Urad Daal. Idlis are generally served with Sambhar and Coconut chutney. Having Idlis in breakfast is a very common scene in every South Indian household but nowadays it has become popular worldwide. It is one of the healthiest breakfasts known as it can be served to babies,  aged persons and even to the people on diet.

Idlis can be made in two ways:

• Rice Idli: Using rice along with urad daal
• Rava Idli: Using rava or semolina along with urad daal

For making soft and fluffy Idlis rice and daal are soaked in water for about 4-5 hours. There are many controversies whether rice and urad daal should be soaked together or separately but to be very frank I don't find any difference in the texture or taste of the Idlis. So, I soak them together and even grind them together but if you want you can soak them separately, grind them separately and then mix them together.

Today in this post we'll make some soft and spongy Idlis. It is very easy to make and just needs 15 mins of your time if you do the prep work beforehand.

So, let's begin with the recipe:
