Hi might not be blogging much for the next 2 months.
Today i had a confirmed 7th week pregnancy.
I have heard my baby's Heart beat today for the first time.
Voila!!! am up in the sky.
I do not want to get much stressed and almost stopped cooking.
But my love for cooking cant stop me away from getting in the kitchen.
Though my hubby helps, i want to get more indulged in to cooking and satisfy my craving.
Since 2 weeks am craving a lot for Spicy foods and masala's than usual.
And Thanks god!! Am not having Nausea.
Am taking a lot of nutritious foods.
I tried V8 vegetable rasam and it came out great today.
Even my hubby also liked it. He helped me in making rasam and taking photographs.
I make rasam with different flavors.
Each one of the following are used each time in flavoring the rasam.
But the rasam powder used remains same.
Black pepper
Curry leaves
Cilantro
Tomato
Onions
Ginger
Garlic
Hing
Today am gonna share with you my nutritious rasam recipe which gives you tons of Vitamins and energy. For the rasam powder, i add lil of toor daal to enhance the taste of rasam.
Here is the recipe:
1 cup dhania
5 tblspn black pepper
5 nos red pepper
2 tblspn jheera
3 tblspn Toor daal
1 stem of curry leaves (Optional)
Dry roast all above items seperately and blend it in a blender till it becomes a soft powder.
Heat oil and temper mustard, jheera, green chillies, hing, curry leaves and red chillies.
Add the rasam powder and fry for a minute.
Now add 3 small tins of V8 mixed vegetable juice and boil for a while.
Add tamrind and boil for another 15 min and top it with chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice and ghee.
Hot daal makes a good combination with hot rasam and rice with oil.
