Mahabaleshwar Channa (Spicy Roasted Chickpeas)

Mahabaleshwar Channa is a simple, nutrituous and tasty snack. This is so simple to do with canned beans, else you need to soak, pressure cook the beans and then have them ready. I got this recipe from here and it is surely a keeper.

Ginger Candy / Crystallized Ginger

Ginger candy is a very interesting tasting sweet which has a lot of flavor and is pretty easy to make. It is a sweet-hot treat. It can also be used in many Chinese or Thai dishes that call for sweet ginger. Ginger candy and ginger drink are made together. This candy is very helpful and a tasty medicine to cure nausea, vomiting and morning sickness. We used this couple of times when we were on the cruise with rough sea and was relieved of the sea sickness in a few minutes. Ginger Candy can be stored in an airtight container for at least a month..

Eggless Garlic Mozzarella Muffins – Savory Muffins

Breakfast is a very important meal of the day - yes everybody know that!! And typically we do not have a lot of time to prepare for breakfast... Most of the South Indian breakfast recipes are quick like idli, dosa, upuma. This muffin is also a quick one and it tastes so much better when served hot. These are also good when reheated. This can be made in less than 25 - 30 minutes including preparation and are great for kid's lunchbox also!! I got this recipe from here and made very few changes (very very few). I am a person who prefers to eat savory muffins vs. a sweet one and I loved this!!!
