Mixture

Though not my cup of tea, was excited to try this recipe. Will be adding roasted peanuts later. It is like those one time trial recipes, way too oily. Just take a peek at few more detailed pictures...Mixture

Potato Salad

First time I got blue potatoes with other 2 regular potatoes (red and white, though both look white inside) from Trader Joes. Blue is rich in antioxidants as per Blue Potatoes 

 Recipe:

* Ingredients : Zuchini, red bell pepper, corn, blue potato, regular potato, toppings like lemon, salt, etc

* Peel and dice potatoes and steam them with little salt, then save it in a bowl.

* Steam corn with little salt and add to the bowl.

* Add the rest of veggies (cut into cubes), add toppings like lemon juice, salt, chilli powder, chat powder.

* Mix well and serve.

Somehow I wasnt upto potatoes in salad but wanted to try this one. You may want to add some red onions to make it like a chat item or you could add some crispy stuff on top it. More pictures...Potato Salad
