Litchi / Lychee /Laichi / Litchu... have you heard of this fruit ??? Isn't it sound like Chinese?? You're right, this is a cute little berry like fruit native to China, recently gained humongous popularity everywhere. Being its peek season in June / July, this is overflowing in my local farmers market, with chinese people sneaking, smelling and bagging. First I was reluctant to buy but after tasting... which I would compare to that of Ice-apple / Nungu or even little bit like Tender coconut juice, this fruit have become a regular visitor to my home.  Shared here is just the recipe for simple Litchi Juice all natural.

Love is one of the key secret ingredient behind every good recipe; and to me nothing can seal the approval better than the smile that I see on my husband's face after eating the dish I cook. Hope its the same for you too... Schezwan fried rice is a spicy recipe...looks like biriyani and tastes like fried rice. This one is my favorite...

Hakka Noodles is a popular Indo -Chinese dish. I do see many scratching your heads right now!!   Here are the answers..

What is Hakka??  Hakka is the term referred to a certain community in China, who are basically settled in the province of Fujian. These people are very conservative and simple, to seek opportunities a wide number of people moved to remote parts of the world, established themselves and thus lead to the spread of Hakka culture, tradition and cuisine. First Hakka settlement started in Calcutta, which popularised this type of cuisine giving Indian touch and thus lead to the beginning of " Indo- Chinese" version.

"Hakka" cuisine is mostly simple with all natural ingredients and less or no seasoning involved which is totally contradictory to whats been served in Indian restaurants. Most Indo-Chinese Hakka preparation includes heavy seasoning except the vegan style.

"Hakka Noodles", traditionally are flat rice noodles and most Oriental Stores sell them. But Indo- Chinese Hakka Noodles are made from Durum flour with or without eggs. Durum flour / by product of Semolina, is high protein, hard wheat which contributes to the characteristics of good pastas like macaroni. Only Hakka brand I could possibly find is Chings but you can also try any flat noddles / pastas made with Durum flour.

Hi Here is the recipe with Garlic Chives[ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garlic_chives ] ..Garlic Chives Stir Fry...I bought it thinking i will make Fried rice but ended up making this dish.

First when i bought it, i dint know the English name of it then asked Mullai... and here is her explanation,"These are garlic chives here or chinese chives. We do see this but occassionally as this has got strong garlicy smell compared to regular chives. But oriental store have them for sure. They all belong to the same onion plant. Spring onions, leeks, chives, chinese chives... all in the same family."

I tried out when i dint have much vegetables at home.Started making it as a side dish for Sambaar.It tasted Yummy with sambaar.Hope u will like it.

Fresh asparagus caught my eyes this week at my local farmers market. Seemed like it was this weeks "Queen of vegetables", as many people started grabing those bundles and with too much of sqeaking... a sign of truly fresh asparagus, with no further hesitation quickly bundled mine. With little creativity going in the kitchen, these healthy spears always turn out absolutely delicious, leaving us with endless possibilities. Here's my latest addiction..
