Almond / Badam and Flex seeds are one among in the doctor's list which she refused to eat so decided to make something out of it that she likes.She always loves chocolate drinks so made healthy chocolate drink powder with almonds and flax seeds and she loves this drink.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)).
