  • Tomato Chawtny

    Tomato Chawtny

    Tomato Chawtny (chutney) is a simple, rustic, tasty accompaniment from Naga cuisine. It is commonly served with rice and meat.

    Nagaland is a small state in the North-eastern part of India. It is the home to 16 tribes which are well settled in that region. Each region has its own culture and tradition, thus the cuisine too varies. It is mainly non-vegetarian which they consume on a daily basis. Along with a meat dish, boiled veggies and chutney is usually prepared along with rice. The food is spicy, Nagas are known to grown the hottest chilli, bhut jholokia.

    The state dish is a smoked pork cooked with fermented soya bean.

    The Shhhh Secretly Cooking group is visiting Nagaland and I am happy to have Seema of www.mildlyindian.com as my partner. Seema is a good friend and a talented blogger. Seema gave me tomato and salt as the secret ingredients and I came upon this tomato chutney (pronounced as chawtny), it is such a simple one but absolutely delicious. You can make it ten minutes with easily available ingredients.Without much ado, let me take you to the recipe of this chutney. I served it with phulka and also with rice and rasam.

  • Cantaloupe Carrot and Beetroot smoothie

    Cantaloupe Carrot and Beetroot smoothie

    Cantaloupe Carrot and Beetroot Smoothie is a nutrient  rich, vibrant, ten-minute recipe.

    Smoothie is filling and low on fat, ideal for those who are looking for a low fat diet or healthy and filling food to have as breakfast.

    Cantaloupe, Carrot and Beetroot smoothie is tasty and vibrant in colour. The cantaloupe gives a good flavour to it.

    I have recently joined the Bloggers Swap Challenge group and we are paired in groups. The pair has to prepare a dish from the other persons blog, a nice way to explore and cook from our co-bloggers blog.

    I had to create a dish from Nayna Kanabar’s blog www.simplysensationalfood.com Soon, I did hop to her blog. Nayna has a good collection of dishes from salads to desserts, do check them out. She has also got two books published. Among all the recipes what caught my attention were her smoothies. She has a wide range of different variations  and I  loved this Purple Carrot, Melon and Beetroot Smoothie the most. I did follow the recipe with a slight variation.  I  used the regular carrots instead of the purple ones and it was awesome.
