Circulon Contempo 12" Round Grill Pan Product Review!!!

I wanted to post this review since long time, its been in my drafts, so finally posting it up.

When CSN came to me for a review I was happy and agreed, which was announced in this post. CSN has a wide range of Cooking and Kitchenware and Pendant Lighting. Its site is userfriendly and great for online shopping.

Thanks CSN for the opportunity.

This Grill Pan, when I saw first, I liked it very much. I have seen grill pan which is square but when I saw this just like a tawa/skillet. I loved it.

I am using this for grilling bread, you can also use this for Paneer tikka and grilled vegetables as well. Its very good and handy.

Hope you also like it.

Will post this recipe soon.

Cheers,
Saraswathi

Sorry Friends for the delay in the roundup. I have taken a back seat from blogging since my inlaws are getting back to India.

Here comes the Roundup of Cooking for Kids - Creative Food for Picky/Fussy Eaters. Hope its useful if you have a Picky/Fussy Eater at home.

Aloo Vegetable Paratha by Preethi.
She says like all other kids, we have a tough time feeding our little one. He loves chappathis and will have it at any time of the day. Once when iImade aloo parathas he loved them, to make them more healthy i sneaked in some cooked vegetables. To my surprise my little one loved it. So i thought of sharing it with other moms. This can be served as breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Vermicilli Idli by Akshatha.

She says MY SON IS NOT A PICKY EATER THOUGH BUT HE WAS VERY RELUCTANT ON EATTING THE NORMAL IDLI SO ONE DAY I PREPARED IT AS EVENING SNACK BUT NOW THIS DISH I MAKE EVERY NOW AND THEN FOR BREAK FAST AND EVENING SNACK BOTH MY HUSBAND AND SON RELISH THIS.

I am posting a recipe after a long time, my inlaws are here and with the baby I am not able to blog. But still will post when I find time.

This week it was a bad weather in singapore, it was raining daily so all of us fell sick with cold, cough and flu. My father in law got more cold and fever. My son also has school holidays and he loves soup.

So I prepared this simple soup for the weather. They just loved it.

Sweet Pumpkin - 200 gms or 1 cup chunks
Pepper - 1/2 tspn(adjust as per taste)
Spring onion -2 tblspns
Salt
Water 1 to 2 cups
Cream - 1 tblspn(optional)

Preparation method
Pressure cook or steam the pumpkin.
Allow it to cool a bit.
Transfer it to a mixie, add 1 cup water and blend to smooth paste.(it should not be too thick or too thick just soupy consistency)
Add spring onions, salt, pepper.
Boil it.

Garnish with cream.) I have not used

Serve hot with garlic bread or as it is. I like spicy.

PS - Adjust salt n pepper according to your taste.
