Mango chunda

Mango chunda is a sweet mango chutney. This is traditional dish of Gujarat, side for chapathis, rotis or phulkas. A great combo with methi thepla (coming soon). In tamilnadu we do mango pachadi with jaggery,which I did with brown sugar. This chunda is with white sugar. But both taste differently. The roasted cumin powder gives a nice flavor to chunda. Roast the cumin powder and store it for curries or any dishes.

Chunda can be stored upto an year. If storing for long period store in a refrigerator and use dry spoon. This process is an easy method. Traditionally they do like pickles by drying in the sun. Try this easy sweet pickle.....

Cashew cookies

Cashew cookies ~ vegan version tasted so wonderful. In place of all purpose flour, whole wheat or half of wheat and APF can be used. After removing the cookies from oven it will look uncooked or soft. Don't panic. Wait to cool completely for serving. Easy to bake, so do try this and let me know how it tasted....

Creamy spinach pasta - is the creamier version and by adding spinach to the pasta is quite healthier. I have already tried spinach avocado pasta which is vegan version but this is loaded with milk and cheese. you can try with elbow pasta or macaroni. Kids love mac and cheese, try this and name it as green mac and cheese. They will love it.
