Mango Mint Sparkler

Today's recipe is very delicious n refreshing drink with Mango n Mint Combo. I made this recipe long back for The Gourmet Seven April Edition under theme Summer Drinks. Because of my health issue i couldn't able to post that time and every time i kept postponing for one or the other reason. But that was also for a good reason i think, Yup that time i was not feeling well and the pictures were also not much impressive n inviting. Now after seeing so many mango recipes in the blogosphere i was tempted n made this drink today n clicked again. Hope i clicked well this time :)
I like mint touch in any fruit drink n with mango mint suits very well and this is on the perfect drink for Hot Sunny days. Very simple and easy to make. The original recipe calls for canned mango drink but here i used fresh mango pulp. Do give it a try, am sure you will love it!!
This Mango Mint Sparkler was adapted from Epicurious.com

Minty Chickpeas Vada / Mint Chickpeas Vadai

For the last day of BM #16, I am going to share a super yummy n healthy snack, vada/vadai recipe with my Star Ingredient - Chickpeas/Channa. First i decided to make oven roasted chickpeas for snack then changed my mind and made this crispy n tasty vada with mint flavor. To make it healthy n filling, i added some finely chopped Spinach,Purple Cabbage and Carrots. And this vadai is fully made with chickpeas n i did not add split yellow peas/chana dal like my Green Peas Cabbage Vada. It come out beyond to my expectation and we all enjoyed,yes...after a very very long time i made deep fried snack at home. My kids n H loved this vada a lot. As they were so much tempted with the color,flavor started urging me for this yummy vadas So i first served with few vadas and at the end of my work i left with some 5 vadas only for final pics. I was completely blank n dunno how to present them n h to click with  few vadas?! Quickly remember that many of my blogger friends had presented their cookies/brownies/chewy bars using cut cookie sheet/MW liner. Then without other options i tried doing it of my own, as the vadas were not flat one i couldn't stack them. Really thanks to those creative minds which helped me this time to present my recipe :)

Chole Mint Bhat N Aloo Raita

Time for Blog Hop Wednesday, and for this Month again i am paired with Hema of Hema's Adugemane, yup last month also she was my pair but bcoz of my health i am unable to try n post a recipe from her space. This time i don't want to miss and i picked her Aloo Pudina Bhat. I slightly tweaked her recipe and tried with Chole/Chickpeas instead Aloo. To my surprise the combo worked out and was too tasty n flavorful. To pair with this i made Aloo Raitha/Potato Raita. This Aloo raita recipe was my creation which i tried after tasting a similar raitha recipe in our Temple Cafeteria. This raitha was my kid's fav...they even love this raitha with some tikkis/cutlets too. Both chole mint bhat n Aloo raita suited well and we had a super delicious and filling meal. Friends, do give it a try and let me know how it turned out to you. Now to the recipe...
