Fruity Popsicle/ Strawberry and Kiwi Popsicle / Kids Special

Fruity Popsicle/
Strawberry and Kiwi Popsicle /
Kids Special
Hi Friends,
Few days back we were planing to go to some hill station to get relief from this scorching Delhi but when we saw temperature of Manali a famous hill station in India, we become shocked to see almost same temperature there. We postponed our plan and to lift up the mood I made these Popsicle. So yummy, fruity, sweet and tangy Popsicle needs hardly any time to prepare (excluding freezing time). You can make it with any of your favorite fruit or any clear drink as fruits will be visible and these sweet chilled candies will look more yummy and mouthwatering. So hurry up, try them guys. Your family will love it.

Ingredients:-
Any clear cold drink- 2 cups (I used Limca)
Any fruits - chopped small (i used strawberry and kiwi)


Method:-
Chopped fruits and limca

thrwo in chopped fruits in your Popsicle mold

Fill it with Limca

put on the caps and freeze for 5 hours

all freeze

Now take out and run the lower portion under water for few seconds

Remove and enjoy

and yummy fruity tangy Popsicle are ready






Notes:-

  1. You can use your favorite fruit and any clear drink to make these Popsicle. Clear drinks will make it see through and fruits will be visible to attract the kids.
  2. I wanted to make them some tangy, sweet and fruity so chose these fruits, you can skip them and experiment with any other fruit.
  3. Keep them in freezer for at least 5 hours or adjust the timing according to the capacity of your fridge. In my fridge it takes 3 hours to make them properly set while i adjust the temperature on coldest.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Love

Spiced up Ice Tea/ Summer Special/ NesTea

Spiced up Ice Tea/
Summer Special/
NesTea


Hi Friends,
Have you ever had Ice tea of Mc Donald ? I just love it. Few days back we went to Mc Donald and as usual  we ordered Ice tea with other stuff. But my ice tea was slurped by my kids. It was so crowded that time so i dropped the idea of ordering one more for myself. I came back home but i was craving for ice tea. So i thought to give it a try at home. I had a packet of ice tea in my hand and i made it many times but taste was never like we had there. So i did three trials and at the fourth time i got the real McD style ice tea. It was so yummy that i made it next day also and enjoyed it a lot with my kids. My kids were also very happy to had this at home. Great drink to beat the heat and to please your kids.
Ingredients:-
Ice Tea Powder-2 tbsp (i used Nestea)
Black Salt- 1/2 tsp (optional)
Lemon - 1
Chilled water- 2 glasses
Ice -(optional)

Method:-
 Grab your ingredients

Put ice tea pdr+lemon juice+salt+1 glass water 
(You can make it without mixer also just use your hands and tall glasses or jug to shake it)

whiz it for few seconds

Then add rest of the water and whiz it again

Now fill this in a transparent glass or jug 
and see the magic

slowly ice tea will settle down and foam will float on the top 

within few minutes

ICE TEA IS READY TO SERVE




Notes:-

  1. If you want real McD Ice tea then skip black salt totally.
  2. Adjust the taste according to your taste.
  3. You can use more ice if you like. For my hubby i use only half glass water and lots of ice as he likes it chilled.
  4. You can make it plain also but the real taste will come with all spices added in.
  5. You can make it without grinder or blander also. just shake it in tall glasses or jug as you must have seen vendors mix lassi/buttermilk to make it creamy and frothy.

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

Hope you all are doing fine. Day by day Delhi becomes hotter and hotter. I am least in mood to cook food in the kitchen. These days we enjoy Shakes, salads, Popsicle etc. to beat the heat. Even for dinners and lunch we prefer one pot meals like raita, salad etc. Most of the times i make mix veg raita as you just have to take whatever veggie in your hand, cut and add in curd add spices and you are done with it. But i personally like this potato raita. It has unique taste.
So may times i whipped this raita for my hubby who was on fast for all nine days in Navaratri. You can have it as it is or along with Rice, pulav, chapati, parantha etc. Hope you will like it.

  1. Spices are purely optional add or omit any spice you want.

Namkeen Sewaiyan/ Sewai Upma/ Savory Vermicelli

Namkeen Sewaiyan/
Sewai Upma/
Savory Vermicelli
Hi Friends,
Days are so lazy now. Hot summers are making us mad. its just starting of may and its really hot in Delhi, God knows what would happen in June. These days its horrible to work in kitchen. I am always looking for easy and quick recipes. I made these sewaiyan few days back. It took me hardly 15 minutes to make it. Actually i made them few months back and nobody liked them. Actually earlier my vermicelli came out very sticky and it was more like khichadi. Kids had it half heartily. My family like only sweet vermicelli. Though i like salty version of it i stopped making it. 
But few days back i tasted salted version which my sister made. I liked that very much and thought to give it a try. I made it her way and yes my kids liked it. She use to boil vermicelli separately like we do for noodles. Its prevent them from sticking. This way it came out more delicious and fluffy like rice. Try this method guys you will also like it.

Ingredients:-

Vermicelli- 1 cup (I used roasted)
Onion - 1 small 
Tomato- 1 small
Mustered seeds-1 tsp
Chat Masala- 1 tsp
Coriander Pdr-1 tsp
Red chilly powder-1 tsp
Salt- as per your taste


Method:-
Ingredients

Heat 3 cups water in a vessel

Add vermicelli

Boil for one minute

Drain water and run them under water

 Let them dry

 2 tsp oil in kadai

crackle coriander seeds in it

add tomato and onion

Saute for few seconds

Add boiled vermicelli and mix well

add all spices

Mix Well

cook for more 1-2 minute

READY

SERVE

HAVE SOME
Notes:-

  1. I have used roasted vermicelli, you can take normal vermicelli and roast in 1 tsp oil and then proceed with the process.
  2. Boiling vermicelli separately will prevent it from sticking.
  3. Don't over boil vermicelli otherwise it will go mushy. Boil it only 70%, it will be cooked fully when added in seasoning.
  4. You can make this upma without onion and tomato or use either of them.
  5. You can add your favorite veggies to make it more healthy.
