 The addition of spinach leaves makes it a more healthy recipe. When you have boiled potato in hand, this dish is very very quick to make. This dish can be served on its own or crumble the tikkis/cutlets, place them on chappati and roll it and grab it on the go.

Strawberry Compote

Who doesn't love Strawberries......the cute little sweety and tarty fruit. Whenever strawberries are in season i will try to do as much as recipes with it. So today's recipe is Strawberry Compote. This is easy to prepare and it take only few minutes to prepare this. Definitely kids will love this. Instead of buying strawberry jam from outside you can make this at home and store it in a glass jar and keep it in the fridge.

Poached Egg Curry - South Indian Style | Udaitha Muttai Kulambu

Poached Egg curry is one of my favourite recipe. We also call it in Tamil as Udaitha Muttai Kulambu. This is my mom's signature dish. We used to prepare this gravy/curry at-least once in a week. This tastes best with Chappathi, Rotis, Phulkas Appam and Dosas.
