Popcorn as we all know is a very popular movie-time snack which is liked by everyone. I remember during my childhood, my grandmother used to make popcorn using heated sand. She used to also make popped poha, rice, and amaranth. It used to be such a tedious process however the taste was awesome. Nowadays, there are many ways and many kinds of corn kernel available to make popcorn. In this recipe I have used oil instead of butter however you can use butter if you like. Although you can get ready made popcorn, it’s always a great fun making your own and enjoying while watching a movie at home.Though you can eat it without any specific flavor, I have added chili, garlic, cumin and amchoor powder to make it little sour and spicy. This is a big hit with my kids.

Tricolor Parfait
Wishing all my Indian friends a very Happy Republic Day!!
This Tricolor Parfait recipe is inspired by the beautiful colors of the Indian Flag. This day brings a lovely childhood memory when it was celebrated in schools with flag hosting, various cultural functions and at the end of celebration sweet especially Motichoor Ladoos were distributed to every one. The recipe is prepared using mainly three ingredients using lauki (bottle gourd), sweet yogurt and sweet fine boondi. The green cardamon, rose and kewra essence gives an amazing taste to the recipe. The three layers arranged in a fancy glass container make this recipe very soothing to the eyes and appealing. Some of the process are lengthy like getting hung curd so plan ahead for those. I have separately posted the recipe for Motichoor Ladoo which is required for this recipe. However I have mentioned the ingredient for boondi here for easy reference.
