IamGeetha: May 2020

Nonbu Kanji is porridge usually prepares at the time of Ramadan days to break the fast in the evening. This recipe I got from my childhood friend's mom. Usually she prepares using Noi arisi, which sells at the time of Ramadan fasting days. In my own recipe I used seeraga samba rice which is smaller in size compared to other rices. If you use basmati rice put it blender and grind coarsely.

During my school years every year I got this from my friends home, they told they get from pallivasal which tastes more delicious than homemade. My friend told many families everyday gives rice and dal to pallivasal on fasting days they prepare with the variety mix of rices and spices so that it tastes awesome. After few years at my workplace home, one of my neighbors did this fasting and she shared this kanji. After I return my work, she gives kanji with some non veg appetizer. Me and my husband will complete in few minutes. Once we moved out of the country really missing these peoples love badly.

Hello friends!

After few successful weeks, today 51st day of stay at home. I hope you are all safe. Today is the 2nd day of May, 2020. Almost the spring comes to an end. It's nice to be at home, I get more time to cook my favorites and do culinary sins at my kitchen. After these many days, the weather gets better and its right time to get physically active.

At my place the neighborhood state park opened with few restrictions. They allowed public to do walking, cycling. This year the peak spring time I missed badly but still I got to walk out at the end of spring to see beautiful cherry blossom along with leaves. The moment I feel refreshed to watch cherry blossoms trees. I always suggest my friends to talk a walk to get some fresh air and relax your mind. Fresh air does wonders to our body and mind. Also regulates blood pressure and immune system. Better to get off the sofa or office chair and leave your house to do a long walk. I shared few photos of cherry blossoms, dandelions and lilac bush here. Live the moments.

Lock down period is the hardest one facing by all over the world. Mostly we working from home, missing schools, missing colleges, missing to hang out with friends, losing jobs, overall missing our daily routines or life. But still our life moves on. Spread positive vibes and hope the best will happen to the universe.
