Corn or Jola(in Kannada) is in season now. I saw this recipe in a magazine a while back Since we all love corn, I have tried it many times at home with my own little modifications and it comes out great. Since these balls are steamed, these are healthier options compared to the fried cutlets.
Pictorial: Make a coarse paste of corn and then of all other ingredients.
Make balls from the mixture and steam.

Hi all, hope you all are still reading this blog!. It is getting harder and harder for me to keep this place updated. My 18 month old is already in his terrible twos and likes to get into everything. So my cooking has been limited to very basic things and whenever I made something special, I forgot to click pictures!.
Ishaan has been asking for chocolate chip cookies for a long time now. I finally baked these raisin and chocolate chip cookies a couple of weeks ago. Since Ayaan loves raisins, I decided to add some to it. I personally loved chewy texture due to the raisins. I prepared these with multi grain flour that I use for making chapatis.
I used Nestle’ toll house chocolate chip cookie recipe and made few changes to it.
Pictorial: Mix sugar and butter. Then add eggs, vanilla extract.
Sieve together flour and soda. Add to butter and egg mixture. Add raisin and chocolate chips. Spread the mix on a sheet and bake.
