Lotus seeds & Coriander Paratha

The kitchen would be busy if the cousins signup the home. For the past couple of days, they are with me and every day is a grand feast for them with different and unique recipes. Crazy and innovative recipe ideas strike the mind when they are with me, but due to time constraint and other difficulties, I don’t shoot the recipes.

The idea of powdering the lotus seeds came in my mind when I was thinking of making spiced makhana for tea time snack. Initially I planned to make spicy masala kind of paratha but after seeing a big bunch of coriander leaves in the fridge, this is what happened. Powdered lotus seeds gave nice softness to the paratha and the flavour from coriander also inviting.

This is my last post of this year 2014. When I looked back to my blogging journey, this year I haven’t posted much for various reasons. But good thing is that I have utilized all my spare time effectively to post something in my website instead of keeping it idle. To point out, Many of the recipes I posted were on healthier side which I wish to continue in the upcoming year.
