Recycled Idlis - Idli Upma

By
Idlis are a favourite in my house and hence it is very rare that they are leftover...but whenever I prepare idli's I usually make some extras...So while I was deciding what to make for breakfast in the morning today, I was thrilled when I remembered there were 5-6 idlis left over from yesterday..and instantly I decided to make a delicious and spicy upma from them. This is such a simple food yet so satisfying..This is great for breakfast or an evening tiffin...thats why I call it Recycled Idlis..:)

Ingredients:

6 left over idlis, crumbled into small pieces
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp urad dal
5-6 curry leaves
2 tbsp oil
2-3 tsp idli karam podi
Salt as per taste

Method:
1.) Heat oil in a non stick pan. Add urad dal and wait until it turns golden brown. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Add the curry leaves.
2.) Add the crumbled idli and mix well. Add salt as per taste.
3.) Sprinkle the idli karam podi on top and mix well.
4.) Serve hot with hot coffee or tea.

Tips:
Instead of crumbling the idlis, cut into 6 or 8 piecies. Follow the above steps and leave it in the pan until all sides are crisp.
Alternatively, instead of idli karam podi you could use chat masala. It tastes great as well..

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

By
As the post title suggests, Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake, you must be wondering, if there is chocolate and its a cheesecake, how could it be low calorie - well, its not really low calorie, but it would be definitely lower than an actual "cheesecake" :) This cheesecake is a fast track recipe which can be thrown in within a few minutes. I don't follow the classic baked cheesecake method. I've tried earlier and failed. But later I came across the no-bake cheesecake recipe and that became the base for all kinds of cheesecakes that I have prepared earlier. Coming to the ingredients, I don't use cream cheese which is the base for any cheesecake, because, firstly, its very high in calories and secondly its very not easily available here. So see we saved some calories there, with a little price paid on the taste. However, I can bet most people won't be able to make out the difference whether there is cream cheese or something else. I'm preparing...

Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix Recipe!!!

By
As the leaves start to change color and cheery pumpkins show up on doorsteps, summer seems like a distant memory and we're smack-dab in the middle of fall. And while pumpkin spice-flavored treats make their appearance just about, well, everywhere, do you even know what it contains? Here's what it is and why you should make it at home. (Hint: It's as easy as it gets!) Guess What? There's No Pumpkin in Pumpkin Spice! For years, I thought pumpkin pie spice actually had pumpkin in it. Silly me. How on earth would you get pumpkin in there? Dehydrate and powder it? In any case, pumpkin pie spice is simply a blend of the traditional spices that go into a good ol' fashioned pumpkin pie. What's in Pumpkin Pie Spice? If you go the store-bought route, pumpkin pie spice blends can vary by manufacturer, but typically contain the more sweet-smelling spices, like cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and ginger. Allspice and mace are also common ingredients. Why Should ...
