Kids Lehanga Designs

Hello everyone...

Today I am going to introduce a new section in my blog. The title itself says its none other than the kids lehangas designed by me.
I am very much interested in designing them for my daughter. This is the first ever lehanga designed by me for my daughters 3rd birthday.

Description:
Lehanga: Tri colored(magenta, green, golden yellow) cross boxes banaras with plain silk magenta color border designed with diamod shaped patches all over it and sequenced with white stones.
Blouse: Sleeveless silk magenta blouse with patches of banaras cloth around the neck and sequenced with white stones. All over blouse is filled with golden color thread dots.

That's my cute little Nivvi on her 3rd B'day

Hope you likes it.

Recipe: Palak Methi Egg Fry

Almost all my recipes will have the background of my daughter. Will think about her in whatever I do. Then came the idea of adding green leaves into her favourite egg fry. If leafy vegetables given separately she will keep them aside. So mixed them in her favourite fry and the idea worked :-) 

 

 

Ingredients:

 

Egg - 1

Palak - 3 to 4 strands

Methi - few

Coriander leaves

Lemon juice- 1/2 tspn

Jeera and Mustard seeds for tadka

Turmeric powder - a pinch

Pepper powder - as required

Salt - as required

Oil - 2 tspn

 

 

Preparation:

 

1. Take oil in a pan and add jeera and mustard seeds.

2. Add tomato, turmeric powder, pepper powder and salt. Cook the tomatoes properly.

3. Break an egg in the pan and fry till it cooks.

3. Add the leafy vegetables (Palak, Methi & Coriander)

4. Let the leaves cook properly until there is no water in the fry

5. Before serving add some lemon juice to it.

 

 

Note: For enhanced taste you can add Chat masala to the fry.

 

It is a very easy recipe and you never regret doing this. Even if I prepared this to my daughter, I personally liked it alot.
