SWEETHEART CHAACH

 Sweetheart Chaach

When Chaach Marries Poha

Chaach or spiced buttermilk is an excellent cooler for summers. The spices like rock salt, roasted cumin powder and green chillies have a cooling effect and are great for digestion. I like to have it with poha most of times. The combination is just perfect on onset of summers and the surprise element of beetroot gives it a colour which makes you blush.

FRENCH TOAST

French Toast

French toast also known as gypsy toast or eggy bread is easiest and best thing which we can make out of eggs and bread. Started eating in childhood and I am still unstoppable.

This easy and on the go recipe is a must try for those who haven’t tried it yet. Its liked by kids because of taste and softness.
