Coming to day 2 recipe,themed under checker board recipes is an interesting fruit salad.When I was going through some checker board recipes for the theme,this salad caught my attention. For this fruit salad all you need is some fruits cubes and creativity to arrange it.Though the salad sounds simple,cutting the fruits into even sized cubes is a difficult task.Here I used watermelon,honey dew melon and some mango cubes.Also I drizzled the salad with some honey for an added taste.                                                                                                                                         ...

After finalizing wheat or wheat flour for W, I was confused about a particular recipe. My search for the recipe started in the last moment and looking at internet and some of my cook books.While looking at my one of my old recipe booklet this recipe caught my attention.But the the measurements I noted is for large scale.I scaled down the measurement for a cup and also referred  here  to get a clear idea. Coming to the recipe its an easy and short cut method to make the wheat halwa.The method of making wheat halwa is bit lengthy as the wheat berries are soaked,ground then extracted.But using wheat flour makes the work easy and taste also almost close to original one.
