Banana-Almond Butter Bread Recipe is a product of the Almond butter I recently fell in love with. In the wake of using the almond butter for more than just slathering my bread toast, I have come up with this interesting recipe that can be served over teatime with tea or coffee. You can use almond essence for more almond flavour or can resort to vanilla essence. I have baked it two mini loaf pans, but this quantity will yield 4 regular sized muffins.

Serve Banana-Almond Butter Bread Recipe along with a cup of Coffee Recipe With Instant Coffee Powder and Elo Jhelo Nimki Recipe during evening.

Thouthe Kodel Recipe is a very traditional Mangalorean recipe that is made from a special cucumber that is available in Karnataka. The Thouthe Kodel is supposed to have a rich red color that it gets from the dry byadgi red chillies, but you can use regular dry red chillies as well, like I did. By using the regular red chillies, the color of the curry will not be rich red. The curry also gets its full-bodied flavor from the roasted condiments like fenugreek, coriander, cumin that is ground along with garlic and coconut making the Thouthe Kodel rich, flavorful and delicious.

Whole Wheat Palak Naan Recipe is made quire frequently in my home. It’s because naans come together pretty quickly and they’re easy to make on the stovetop too. There are several variants of naans, so I decided to try a palak naan.

I made this naan without yeast eliminating the need to wait for the dough to rise. It’s as easy as mixing all the ingredients together, giving the dough a short rest and it’s ready to cook. Serve this Whole Wheat Palak Naan along with Mushroom Pasanda or Green Moong Dal Makhani for a wholesome meal.
