Tea under the cherry tree...:):)

The weather is quiet warm and humid here.The evenings get cooler with blowing of sea breeze. It's common sight to see people escaping to beaches, parks and to their terrace in the evenings to refresh themself. We too like to spend our evenings in the terrace garden with cup of hot tea and some snacks  to munch. 

Our cherry tree is full of red fruits and  doing a tea setting under the tree with red wares looked good. I prepared the onion bhajis a snack quite popular at every Indian house hold.  It's tasty and quick to prepare. People of all ages love it. The recipe is given below the post. Thank you for your visit.  


















Onion Bhajis

Gram Flour---1 and 1/2 cup
Turmeric powder---1/2 Teaspoon 
Coriander Powder-- 1/2 Teaspoon
Red chilli powder-- 1/4 teaspoon
Pepper powder--A pinch
Asafoedita--A pinch 
Salt--To taste
Baking soda - Optional ( For softness)  
Oil for frying.
Desired Vegetables---Onions, Potatoes, Bell peppers of any colour.(Sliced finely into round shape)

Method: Add flour in a big bowl. Put in all the above spices and salt to the flour . Add the cold water and make a thick batter.( Not too watery)
Heat oil in a pan and when the smoke rises dip the desired  vegetable in the batter and deep fry turning both sides till it becomes golden brown and crispy. Serve with Mint chutney, tomato ketchup, green or red chilli sauces.

Shades of Green

This is September, and the month offers its own fresh start to many things. Here in India, it is the beginning of festivities and celebrations for the next few coming weeks. These are the days of showers too, and it is truly refreshing & soothing to see the plants and trees after every brief shower. The moist leaves give us an impression that they are happy and smiling and breathing a 'Thank You' for the fresh green look. I love the colour green and as we all know it is one of Mother Natures primary colours. The green stem is honoured and credited to hold every flower of different colours. That's awesome. Inspiration comes from every where and the colour green inspired me to do a scape, with the green touch. I collected the green ware from the racks and putting it together as a teascape was pleasing to the eyes like the happy greenery around us. Sometimes it is wonderful to have tea and treat ourselves amongst a small collection of green plants. M

A Wedding to Remember.:)))

 When two souls, which have sought each other for however long in the throng, have finally found each other,when they have seen that they are matched, in a word they are alike, compatible and established a union for ever between them. A union illuminated & pure for ever and ever.. This union is love, true love filled with full of sweetest delights & compassion. My second son Capt Siddharth and sweet Saumya tied the knot on 16th Feb. The wedding was a grand event with both the families coming together to bless the wonderful couple. Sharing few photos of the wedding in the blog- post today with rest of you all.:)))   Please visit Nap on the porch
