Promotional Giveaway for my readers

The CSN promotion team at counter stools contacted me sometime back  about a promotional giveaway to my readers. After few email exchanges I decided to go about it. But then life intervened and two days back I

mailed them again to check if the offer is still open. They were kind to say yes and here I present two choice of gifts to my lovely readers. If you are interested in having a counter stool at your kitchen, do visit their exclusive site for counterstools.

Inspired by Srivalli, I followed a healthy diet plan for sometime. In between I had to break. Now I am back at it, though I  cheat at times. Its fine even I am able to follow atleast partially, since its better than no diet plan at all.  I find any other fellow bloggers inspired to follow the diet. If any of you want to follow a strict diet in terms of wieght and nutrition facts, then this is for you.

Nutritional Label Scale

Enough of dieting topic. How about  some home made waffles. Thanks to Bangalore Baker, I got to know about this from one of her posts.Various possiblities of waffles came to my mind. Hope this interests you as much as it did to me

Microwave Chocolate Thiratipaal- Celebrating Bloggers

The First Recipe i tried when i bought a MicroWave Oven was Priya's Microwave Chocolate Thirati Paal, For a novice in MW this dish is Divine, coz doesnt have much to do and it is done in minutes.

So, When MEC-Celebrating Bloggers Event was announced i immediately thought of trying this again and posting it. It came out very well and my hubby dear enjoyed it a lot coz he has this crazy love for ThiratiPaal. Whenever i return from india first thing he checks with me is Did u get Grand Sweets/Aavin Thirati Paal? Now After this MW Chocolate Thiratipaal he now gets his favourite Dessert ready in a Jiffy!!!

Ingredients

1no Sweetened condensed milk tin (400gms)

1tbsp Ghee

3tbsp Curd

2tbsp Dark chocolate powder
Nuts for garnishing

Method

Take the condensed milk, ghee, curd and dark chocolate powder in a microwave safe bowl. Cook for 12minutes high in microwave oven (take in between and stir every 3 minutes), this mixture would have reached the thiratipaal consistency. Pour this mixture in a bowl , garnish with any nuts. Microwave cooking time may change depending upon your oven.
