Masala Corn Chaat Recipe | How to make masala corn chaat

Masala Corn is a tempting chaat for cold winter evenings. This is a easy & kid friendly chaat which can be made in very less time. In process of making it you can use a microwave to finish it off easily or you can also pan fry corn in making this dish. You can simply leave onions & carrots out of this dish to make it buttery sweet & flavorful. I love carrot in any chaat, so added a little more than needed. Enjoy this healthy chaat !!!

Kanda Poha Recipe | Kanda Pohe | How to make Kanda Poha

Kanda Poha is a traditional Maharashtrian breakfast dish. It is simple yet filling breakfast dish to start fresh mornings. While growing up my mom made this as a snack & some times she even served it for dinner too. Like my mom I make this dish for dinner as it is easy to make & also love making this dish on hot summer nights as it consumes very less time in making. This recipe can be customized according to your taste easily. The best part of this recipe is it is a microwave version & consumes less time than the stove-top method.
