Evening snacks in the mid of a busy work-day is a real tension. Isn't it ? The craving needs something really quick to prepare with less ingredients. I had a similar situation one fine Evening and I rushed to kitchen with "Puffed Rice" or ମୁଢୀ in my mind(always readily available in every Odia kitchen). Quite often, Masala Mudhi is our ready-to-go snacks and this time the craving was to have some fried snacks along with a cup of hot Ginger Tea. There are some colorful vegetables too in my fridge.

Why not mix both and prepare this hot, crispy, crunchy snacks to satiate the evening hunger!!!

These fritters are prepared in a different way with a Chinese twist.

"Pakhaḷa" or "ପଖାଳ" is an Odia term for a food consisting of cooked rice washed or little fermented in water. The liquid part is known as ‘Toraṇi’, ତୋରାଣି. Having varied classifications, ‘Pakhala’ can be ‘Jeera Pakhala’, ‘Dahi Pakhala’, ‘Basi Pakhala, ‘Saja Pakhala’. Pakhala is not only a dish but emotion for all Odias around the world.

With temperatures soaring up like mad, the food pattern too changes in Odisha. The grueling summers will bring in early morning classes, morning office and everything possible that would give a little respite from the cruel summer heat and humidity. In the Odia kitchen too, the cuisine takes a turn from rich, spicy curries to the Simple "Pakhala" or water rice. 🙂🙂🙂

Try to taste every Odia’s favourite food ‘Pakhala’ with badi chura, machha bhaja, saga bhaja, baigana tamata poda, alu bharta, amba chatani, imli pop etc etc... 🙂🙂 Do not forget to drink the water of the Pakhala from the bowl, because that’s the best past about this whole dish, it has many qualities, keeping your body temperature cool is one the essential one in the summers.

One-pot meal, as the name defines, requires only one pot to cook. It is often one of the favorite choice of many, and why not!! With minimum kitchen time and minimal clean-up, we have many ingredients rolled up to one simple yet delicious dish.

In winter as the days become shorter, we get less active time to wrap up our work. In that, kitchen time becomes even less. One-pot meal is the perfect solution 😉

Winter brings a whole lot of greens with its amazing nutritional value called as "Winter Greens", one of them is Spinach/palak. Spinach being one of the richest in cartenoids,
contains essential vitamins like A, B, C, E, K, zinc, magnesium and large amounts of iron that is necessary for the red blood cells in the body. Needless to say, the benefits of spinach in our diet.

Apart from the health benefits, being a non-vegetarian, if that one Vegan dish in a restaurant appetizer menu makes you drool and it's simple enough to prepare at home as a party appetizer or snacks, how about giving it a try.

Nethili or Anchovy is a salt water fish, rich in vitamins E, D, Vitamin B-Niacin and minerals such as calcium and selenium. It contains polyunsaturated fatty acids which is heart-friendly and help reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Various dishes can be prepared using this fish, but my favourite is "Crispy Fry", which is quick to make and tastes great. Usually the head is removed while cleaning Nethili fish, but while making this recipe, I keep the head intact as We like to eat it crispy. This dish serves a perfect seafood starter or even a side dish along with rice.

"Kartik Purnima (କାର୍ତ୍ତିକ ପୂର୍ଣ୍ଣିମା)" is one of the major festivals observed in Odisha. Kartik month is considered to be the holiest month, where people don't take any nonveg food. The last 5 days are called "Panchuka(ପଞ୍ଚୁକ)", followed by Kartik Purnima on the last full moon day. People of odisha take bath early Morning on this day and visit temples.
The highlight of this day is "Boita Bhasani"(ବୋଇତ ଭସାଣି), which people celebrate by floating banana stem, paper or thermocol boats. There's an interesting story behind. The "sadhabas" (Traders) used to go different islands for business and the women of family bid them adieu on this day with this celebration. There's this saying that, the women used to chant
"ଆ କା ମା ଵୋଇ, ପାନ ଗୁଆ ଥୋଇ...
ପାନ‌ ଗୁଆ ତୋର,‌ ମାସକ ଧର୍ମ ମୋର..."
which is a prayer to keep the sadhabas safe during their journey with the blessings earned in this holy month.

Breakfast is one of the most important meal in a day. Amidst the busy morning schedule, we tend to skip the breakfast most of the time or end up with something unhealthy. Breakfast time comes after 9-10 hours of gap, when the body needs to refuel. So a healthy breakfast is necessary to keep it going all the day long.

There's a notion that healthy breakfasts are boring and one common traditional idea that comes to the mind is "a bowl of cornflakes with milk". Are you bored of having this and a packet of cornflakes is still lying unused from days??? How about mix it with some veggies and make it more healthier 😉 Winter is all about veggies and Winter morning demands some hot quick breakfast.

Try out today's recipe from Panda's Kitchen "Cornflakes Veggies Poha" 😋😋

Lord Ganesha is probably the most favorite of all foodies, his pot belly stands testament "he's a big foodie" 😉 When the deity is so fond of food, even the devotees offer varieties of Bhog in order to please him and attract positive energies into their lives 😉

One of the many is "Banana sheera", can be counted as the popular offering during Ganesh Puja, Satyanarayan Puja, Varalakshmi and many other auspicious occasions. Lord Ganesha is believed to be fond of sweets, so this year I am preparing "Banana Sheera" as a prasad for Ganesh Puja. It can be prepared in a jiffy with a few ingredients. The combination of ghee, rava, banana, milk along with some chopped dry fruits, makes an amazing recipe to impress the God and satiate our taste buds. The aroma is too pious and heavenly.

Other than offering as prasad, a bowlful of "Banana sheera" can make a good breakfast, dessert or even teatime snacks. So, Use the over-riped, leftover bananas to prepare this melt-in mouth sweet dish, which never fails to impress.
