Sabudana Vada | Sago Fritters

There are some people who enter your life like gems. These are the real diamonds. They have no ulterior motives, no inferiority complex, no superiority complex, no need to prove that they are better than you, or seek to have more than you. They don’t feel entitled and aren’t needy or dependent. They are not superficial or fake. They remind you of God and they understand you, when no other person does. They don’t wear a mask with you or pretend to be perfect. They are just real with you and honestly and sincerely only want good for you. You feel you can tell them anything without worrying that they will judge you or put you down for being imperfect. They know your flaws, but love you anyway. And they are loyal. You know they’ll be there for you. They'll always have your back. And best of all, time and distance doesn’t change this.

Just back from an amazing trip to Nagpur, my hometown. Had been for a school reunion. We were meeting each other after 20 years. Many friends couldn't make it due to some personal commitments, but the rest of us who made it, had the most amazing time of our lives. We just laughed and laughed and laughed. The bonding was so so good. Unimaginable. Nothing changed, except that most of us have put on some enormous amounts of weight. The 3 days that we were together, were really well spent and had an experience of a lifetime!!! 


Coming back to the recipe. This is a classic street food in most parts in Maharasthra. Served along with fried green chillies, this tastes heavenly, especially with ginger tea!

Ingredients:
2 cups sabudana/sago, soaked overnight, (check the process of soaking here)
1 big potato, boiled, peeled,

Low Calorie No-Bake Chocolate Cheesecake

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...
