As summer approaches there is a slight change in my food intake. For a foodie in me it get difficult to adjust with the season. But It is always advisable to have a lighter meals during summer to keep yourself protected from the hot weather. And this made me to keep shifting my taste. For people closer to me know how foodie I am. I love eating spicy as well as any home cooked food. I generally avoid the outside food. They have more in looks but does not have taste to satify the hunger within. I am so addicted to home cooked food that, whenever I go outside or restaursnt or any party I always asked to cook food for me at home too. Generslly peoole avoid cooking food at home whenever they have buffet in offering. But not in my case, I alwsys look out to eat anything to satisfy my crave.

I am big food lover, and I know few of my dishes to prepare. Those were what I like. Here are few of my dishes that I cooks at home or even prefer in summer days.
I alwsys like to begin the day with heavy breakfast. Being in village, breads were not in demand and People usually relies on flattened rice that are prepared with the paddy. So I prepare my own dish which is popularly known as poha. I usually like to add more texture to this dish by adding different veggies and like to dress it with namkeens toppings.
This is easy to prepare, just soak the flattened rice into watee for few min, make all your veggies ready and fry all of them in oil. You can add salt or sugar as per your taste. A pinch of lemon juice will make it more of eating delight.
As the day progress, I starts looking for lunch menu. In normal dsy, I like to have lentils , soups ,rice or Chappati. But in Summer, Curd rice is my go to lunch option. Easy to cook and nothing much required.
Just cook the rice in a cooker, mix it with fresh curd add salt to taste and garnish it with pure ghee and chillies. It is a wonderful and easy digestible lunch menu for summer. I do like to add salads alongwith this recipe.
In summer I am fond lover of Cold Cofee. Iced coffee mixed with ice cream and coffee is pure delight. And it is easy to prepare too. I already share the making recipe post.
Take some cold milk, add coffee, sugar and icecream and blend it perfectly to seve in glass. In case you like more chill you can add few ice cubes to make it more delightful summer drinks.
The brunch time of the day, we all like to have some snacks like tea and samosa or fritters. But in Summer time it is good to avoid such foods. Also I am not a tea lover during summer. So make most of the brunch time, I like to have Upma
Upma is a savory breakfast dish from South India, but having to brinch time is not offence. I usually keep on changing my brekfast and brunch menu time to time as per my mood. **Upma is made with semolina flour, we called the.rava or suji, lentils, nuts, vegetables, and spices. Again, soak semolina and fry it in oil, with all the vegetable. Trust me it tastes better than any snacks.
Comes the dinner time, and I have seen people start craving for food. I usually try to avoid dinner as my brunch is enough for the day. But at times when you visit some relatives places, you cannot ssy no to them. And as such, recently I had Puri - Chole
Again, puri is fried for of wheat Chappati, whereas Chole is made of grams with add on spicy. Honestly I am not aware of this Chole recipe completelly, but it tastes good when you get good cooking hand.
Instead of sharing the entire, recipe for the foodie in me, I preferred to take you all on a food tour during a normal day. Hope you like the little food collection.
