Unakka Chemmeen/Dry Prawns Chammanthi

A bowl of rice,any curry and this dry prawns/unakka chemeen chammanti is sometimes all what is needed for lunch.But in the family there are both types of people,one who just loves dry prawns and the rest who just hates it. 

Fruit Salad/Fruit Mix

Today's recipe is a simple fruit salad/chat.We make this often,specially on all days of Ramadan.

Cucumber Stir fry

Cucumber is something almost everybody likes eating raw as such or in salads.Recently I tried this stir fry and was a hit at home.My hubby at first was in the impression that why do I need to cook this when all (kids mainly) are eating this raw without any fuss.Actually Once I had seen my Muthumma(Grandma's big sister) cooking this to make it soft and easy to chew for elderly people and the very little ones with their rice.I just modified it adding chillies and grated coconut and spluttered  mustard seeds and made into a stir fry.

Papaya Juice

There was a time when our house in India was surrounded with Papaya trees,that too large ones.It was many years back,one papaya cut was more than enough for the whole family,so the remaining papayas were given to our neighbours and relatives.But every house had one or two trees.
