BROCCOLI , MUSHROOM SOUP (KIDS FOOD)

Hi All,
Having soup in winters not only feels good but also very filling.I make this soup as my lunch ,dinner and also for my daughters evening snacks.Broccoli is very good for kids and we can feed them right from 10 months.But I started to feed Ashley only after 2 years ( as I thought Broccoli would be very bitter in taste 😕).
Broccoli and mushroom combined with egg tasted amazing and it is very easy too.It is a very good winter food and good for kids.
The recipe is as below,
INGREDIENTS :
Broccoli – 1 medium sized ( about 2 cups florets).
Mushroom – 200 gms ( 1 packet).
Garlic – 10 pods.
Onions – 1 no ( big).
Green chillies – 2 nos.
Salt – 1/2 tsp or as required.
Pepper – 1 tsp.
Egg – 1 no ( optional).
Water – as required.
Coconut oil / ghee – 1 tsp.
METHOD :
  1. Cut broccoli to medium sized florets.Add florets to boiling water and leave for 1 minute.After 1 minute drain the water and allow running water over the broccoli once.Keep the florets in a strainer to drain the water completely.
  2. Chop onions lengthwise , slit chillies to two pieces ,chop garlic roughly.Clean,wash and cut mushroom to two or four pieces depending on its size.
  3. In a shallow vessel heat oil , add green chillies and saute for a minute .Then add onions , garlic and saute till onions turns slight brown.
  4. Add mushroom , broccoli ,salt , little water ,close the vessel and boil till the vegs cooked soft.
  5. Finally in a small cup crack open a egg and keep it in middle of boiling soup.After 5 mins you can see the eggs are boiled to stiff.Remove the egg cup and keep it aside to cool down.Then remove the egg from cup.
  6. Switch off the flame and mash the soup with ladle well to form even mixture.
  7. Pour the soup to a bowl , boiled egg , sprinkle pepper and serve .
    NOTES :
  1. If you are feeding to kids , mash well when the soup is hot for even mashing.
  2. Add enough water during boiling , about 1/2 cup is enough for boiling.Adding more water and over boiling will kill the vitamins.
  3. Adding egg is optional , you can even skip it. 
    HAPPY COOKING!!

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 :)). Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton. The cleaning part is little tricky but easy, I suggest once you finished cleaning dispose the waste immediately out of your house as the waste from squid fish is very smelly and also it starts leaving water .So dispose the waste of squid as quick as possible. Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
