Strawberry milkshake

 Strawberry milkshake ia very refreshing drink during summer.  If you are making it for kids, you can add  scoop of vanilla icecream for more richer and creamier milkshake. But i didn't add icecream. I made it simple with milk alone. Still it tastes great.

Brown rice sweet pongal / Sivapu arisi sakkarai pongal /Sweet recipes

When i bought pot for making  sweet pongal for the tamil festival "Pongal" , i got a pack of   brown rice. I kept it idle for a long time. Then suddenly  idea strikes, why not to try sweet pongal with brown rice? Sweet pongal means sakkarai pongal in tamil.  

  Brown rice is more nutritious than white rice. Brown rice and white rice have similar amounts of calories and carbohydrates. The main differences between the two forms of rice lie in processing and nutritional content.
