Watermelon green apple Granita

Summer is here and its already beating the hell out of us here in Chennai!This is what you should have to cool yourselves down!A simple granita made out of the juiciest watermelons!

Granitas are just frozen fruitjuice/slush you can add any seasonal juicy fruits like melons or peaches.I had been wanting to try this for a while but i thought it was a lot of work.But i was wrong.It took me all of 10 minutes to just stash it in the refrigerator and you don't have to bother for the next two hours.After 2 hours you need to fork the mixture around the edges of the container you are freezing especially so you don't end up with one whole large popsicle.

I did the forking bit for about 4 5 times and the final product was super good.I started the process in the evening at about 3 and we enjoyed loved cool granitas for dessert after dinner!

Preparation time : 10 mins + 5-6 hours freezing time

You need 

Watermelons 1 large wedge

Green apple 1 just half is enough

Sugar 2 tsps or more as per your taste

Lemon juice 1 tsp

• Grind all the above in a blender and sieve it incase your watermelon is not seedless.
• Pour this into a container you can freeze, cover and freeze for about 6 hours with contant forking every 2 hours or whenever you remember.

All gone!Serve cold in any glass of your choice and enjoy the cold cold granitas and chill yourselves this summer!

Masala Eggs

I just realised while making this dish that i haven;t a single egg recipe post on the blog yet!!!Surprising!Eggs come to my rescue when I haven't chopped any vegetables for lunch and I hate chopping first thing in the morning.They are really versatile and yea everyone knows how delicious and proteinous they are and ofcourse bakers know what magic eggs can create!!

My mil usually makes this recipe a quick toss to the hard boiled eggs.I feel eggs are already yummy why give them a make-over?I knew the answer to that when i made them last weekend :)

Preparation time : 5 mins+ eggs cooking time

Serves 2

You need

Hard boiled eggs 2 sliced in quarters

Oil 2 tsp

Mustard seeds 1 tsp

Curry leaves a few 

Red chilli powder 1 tsp

Turmeric/haldi powder 1/4 tsp

Rice flour 2 tsp

Water 2 tablespoons

Lime juice few drops

• Peel and cut the eggs into wedges.Now add the masala powders - haldi, red chilli powder, and rice flour with salt and lemon juice - mix well.Add a little water if needed so the masala coats the eggs.
• Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard,curryleaves and let it pop.Add the eggs and a little water so the pan heat reduces a bit.

• Toss the eggs until the water is completely gone and the spices nicely coat the eggs.
• Serve hot as it is or with steamed rice and curry or any variety rices like here and here.
