For a Change ! :)

    Generally Human need/seek change in each and every work they do. Even am the BIG ONE among them. Apart from the usual recipe post, Thought of posting couple of "Kolams" for a change which was drawn by me during this "Pongal Fest" in my MIL's place.

    

    I love to draw kolam forever. As am too picky/choosy in selecting different kolam and color powders(especially UNIQUE), i started asking my neighbours for their kolam note a week before Pongal and this time just had a walkthrough over internet. OMG ! i got lots and lots. As i didnt get time to take print or draw it in my kolam note, just saved all my browsed kolams in my laptop, need to try those only during next Pongal :D


And when it comes to color powder, which add more beauty to kolams, i searched so many shops and so many different dark shades like Orange, Red, Blue, Yellow etc etc. Really it added more beauty to my kolam :P So, check out my kolam and let me know ur comments :)

     Ragi Semiya Puttu, i can say this as the best, healthy and quick recipe which can be prepared using Instant Ragi Semiya. Generally, I use to sleep till 7.30 a.m during my weekends. Though i get up bit late in the morning, i need to prepare breakfast before 8.30 a.m. for my lil one. So, blindly i'll go for this as my breakfast recipe with some banana. I would say this is my "Weekend Dish" forever. Moreover, this can be prepared very quickly within 20 mins. Just give a try and let me know ur feedback.

As am trying it for the first time, not to waste the entire carrots, i just used couple of carrots.
