delicious and mouth watering salad! If only sunny boy wasn't allergic to it. We have stopped using peanuts as we recently got to know of his (mild) allergyto it. But, I have a packet of it and I might make it for hubby. Love the combination with fresh onion and all.

Even I have some allergy, and some people keep suggesting that may be its because of peanuts, I dont want to confirm it ,a s they are my life:).

This is a very tasty cruncy dish, I like even bhelpuri with some crunch:)

This is a very healthy breakfast for me and I like it also, almost no oil is used and it has lots of vegetables. and not much cooking even. Ingredients:----- 1cup broken wheat 250 gm cabbage..julienned 1small capsicum..julienned 1 carrot grated 1 tsp. oil 1tsp. mustard seeds. 1/2 tsp. turmeric 1/2 tsp salt or as you like it 1/2 lemon 2 tbsp. roasted peanuts. Green chilli (optional) coriander leaves..finely chopped for garnishing. Dry roast the broken wheat, till it is golden. In a pan put oil, and when it is hot add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering add all the vegetables. saute them for 5-8 minutes, till they get shiny or loose water. Keep them aside. Now cook the broken wheat with 2 cup water, turmeric and salt, slow the fire and cook till all the water is absorbed. Mix the vegetables in this. Now while serving spread some peanuts and then sprinkle lemon. TIPS:.....even you can roast the wheat in microwave also, you will have to stir it once or twice. Some people add tomatoe

THE PIANO

Last weekend we tried Savera hotel on RKSalai road.There they had buffet in their Piano restaurant. I just loved the food here, their most of the preparations are very good. We started with mango drink,thye had one strawberry and one punch too. we tried the first one, but it was too sweet. For the starters they had..paapdi chaat,samosa, kachori, gobhi manchuria, and pakoras, golguppas. In the  main course there was..two varieites of aloo.both yummy,and paneer bhujai, beans,3types of south Indian curries, curd rice, three varieties of pulao..all very tasty, and noodles with 6-7 varieties of salad including choley also..rice varieties were very good and so were the naans. for the desserts there were 5-6 baked varieties and few were really good, three types of icecreams with toppings, then, moong daal pyasam, almond gulabjamun and carrot mysore pak..these two were awesome, I really hogged them and then some fruits. All in all a very good buffet and price is also reasonable...730/
