Pineapple Thinai Kesari / Pineapple Foxtail Millet Kesari

Today is first day of Aadi month and is celebrated with a sweet, special food items. Here is a delicious and a almost guilt free sweet which has no processed ingredients. We would have heard about rava kesari and also flavored ones like mango kesari, pineapple kesari etc. Today I added a little more extra twist by including healthy items and excluding the unhealthy ones. So here are my changes – ravai to thinai ravai, sugar to panam kalkandu and have reduced the ghee a big extent. It was very tasty and delicious. I have also not added pineapple essence or food color. That is optional. This kesari with thinai is so perfect to start this week’s marathon with the theme as millets!!

Dates and Walnut Cake

My blog views have crossed 100000... Yayy!!!! Thanks to all for your support and celebrating it with a delicious and healthy cake... Dates and Walnut Cake is a quick and healthier cake. The original recipe called for date palm jaggery. I used brown sugar and white sugar. If you can lay your hands on date palm jaggery, please use it. It is healthier option. I got this recipe from here and we loved it.
