Kesari bhat is one of the famous sweet recipe in South Indian sweets which is prepared in marriages and in any small functions at home. It is served as sweet for meals in hotels. It is also known as sheera and halwa in different places.

Pomegranate Raita, Anar ka Raita ,How to make Pomegranate Raita

Pomegranate Raita is sweet, spicy and fruity raita prepared using fresh curd, pomegranate arils and some spices which adds good taste to the Raita. I love this pomegranate raita because of its sweet, spicy and and fruity taste and it easy to prepare. 

Do check this recipe in my youtube channel..

https://youtu.be/b7kuOSdKxxU

 Using fresh thick curd is preferred. Adding onion to the raita gives good crunchy taste to it. If you are planning to prepare this Raita on vrats then skip adding onions. Adding cucumber to the raita gives good refreshing taste to it. Coming to spices we add roasted cumin seeds powder and pepper powder along with little red chilli powder and finely grated green chilli which adds spicy to the Raita. 

 

                                            

        I regularly prepare this Raita as accompaniment to veg pulao's, pulkas. Recently I prepared this pomegranate raita for peas pulao. Many of my friends requested to post this Raita recipe, here I am posting 😍.

Peas Pulao || Matar Pulao || Green Peas Pulao || How to prepare Peas Pulao

Peas Pulao is one pot, flavourful rice prepared using fresh peas or frozen peas. Green Peas in English is also known as pachabattani in telugu,battani in Kannada, pattani in Tamil and matar in Hindi. We can prepare this pulao quickly as because no need of  chopping veggies. For  this pulao we use onions which are fried in ghee along with spices. You can serve this peas pulao with any yogurt raita's, veg kurma or panner curries like  paneer butter masala, Kadai Paneer , khova paneer or  Kaju Curry   as accompaniment. I had this peas pulao with Pomegranate raita

I prepared this pulao in Kadai, we can also prepare it in pressure cooker or electronic cooker. Generally we use long grain basmathi rice to prepare this pulao. We can also use normal rice too. But to get good flavored and tasty pulao we use basmathi rice.  The thing to remember is the portion of water you used to prepare any pulao. We can prepare matar pulao in many variations like aloo matar pulao, Paneer,matar pulao, pudina matar pulao etc, I prepared simple and basic matar pulao.
