Hot and sour vegetable soup

Hot and sour vegetable soup is super tasty, healthy and comfort soup recipe for this winter season. This soup gives good relief to throat and its very healthy too.  We use basic vegetables like carrot, beans, cabbage, sweet corn, spring onions, mushrooms etc.. sauces like soya sauce, red chili sauce adds good taste to soup. Purple cabbage was available in my pantry while preparing this soup, so i used it. It gave good color to my soup, instead of purple cabbage you can also use white cabbage too.

Do check out this hot & sour vegetable soup recipe in our youtube channel ..

        We add little quantity of sugar in order to balance the sour taste of soya sauce. I shared carrot soup, spring onion, carrot badam soup, drumstick leaves soup, sweet corn soup recipes in my blog do check out...

Poornam bobbatlu || Pooranam holigalu || puran poli || Poornam bakshalu

Poornam holigalu || Poornam bakshalu || Puran poli with pics and tips. Happy Diwali - 2021 to all friends and family 🎆🎇Poornam bakshalu is Indian flatbread prepared by using different stuffings. Puran poli is also popularly known as bobbatlu or bakshalu in Telugu, holige in Kannada and poli in Tamil. This is one of the main sweet recipe prepared on special occasions in South India. Mainly in my home town Adoni it is prepared on special occasions like Ganesh festival, Vara Lakshmi pooja,Diwali, Lakshmamavayya jathara, functions like marriages, naming ceremony etc.., We can prepare different varieties of poli like puran poli, coconut poli, vegetable poli, karam poli, sooji poli. In all these Puran poli is very popularly, which is prepared by using sweet dal stuffing called as poornam in Telugu. We can prepare dough using all purpose flour or wheat flour or chiroti rava. Today I am using chiroti rava to prepare dough instead of maida. Let's start recipe..

Sweet corn pulao

 Sweet corn pulao is one of the tasty pulao recipe which is very easy to prepare and perfect for lunch box and parties. I made it healthy by adding veggies like carrot and beans. You can also add peas in this pulao or simply you can skip adding veggies. Who d't like pulao's and biryani's ?? kabuli chana pulao, Hyderabd dum biryani are my favorite rice items. I made this sweet corn pulao bit spicy by adding freshly prepared masala mix, as corn taste sweet. And I prepared this pulao in electric cooker which I recently purchased, pulao came out very tasty with perfect texture.  We can pair this corn pulao with raita like pomegranate raita or simple cucumber onion raita. We can also have it with kabuli chana curry , Kaddu ka dalcha or with any paneer gravies.
