Cooking from other blogs # 6

It's been a while since I posted recipes that I've tried from other bloggers... so here they are:

1) Seema's Alsanda Bea Koddel - this was a beautiful, easy curry with Black-eyed beans and we enjoyed it.


2) Shilpa's Spicy Egg - which was easy, spicy and delicious.


3) Raaga's Tori Bendi - i loved the name and the dish. What was even more delightful was the fact that I finally found a recipe to use the whole pigeon peas that my husband bought instead of toor dhal :)


4) Srivalli's Channa Pulao - this has been on my list for ages (since she posted to be precise). Her description made me crave it and I finally made it - it didn't disappoint me one bit. My husband who was skeptical initially loved it as well.


5) Manisha's No-oil Lime Pickle - this has to be one of the most popular pickle recipe and countless folks gave this a shot last summer. I decided then that I would definitely make this and here I am. It's still in the process so I can't really write about the taste yet but I can't wait to get a bite of this. A picture of the ingredients before I proceeded to give it a toss.


6) Viji's Bread Rolls - were crunchy, tasty & healthy like all her recipes are. Can't link it however since her blog is now private.


7) Pravs Eggless Banana Cake with Raisins - which is pretty healthy and makes for a nutritious snack for kids.


8) Sig's Butternut Squash Erissery - this is my first attempt at cooking with butternut squash and I chose this coconutty dish from her fabulous blog.


9) Suganya's Mor Kali - I've always heard about Mor Kali from my friends but never tasted it because my parents are not a big fan of this. Even when I tried to explain to my mom how my friends had raved about this, in the hopes that she would make for me, she didn't give it a very tempting review. I finally gave this a shot myself and used Suganya's recipe.
It has only a few ingredients: Riceflour, Buttermilk, Red Chillies, tempering, oil & salt. This will also be my entry to this month's MBP - Less is More hosted by the talented Nupur. MBP is the brainchild of Coffee .


I would also like to send this post to Madhuram's Your Recipe Rocks (YRR) event.
