Extremely delectable, yet again an innovative twist to the Moong Vadas by me. I added Purslane Leaves to make them more healthier. These Leaves are available throughout the Year and are easily available with our Bhaji wala bhaiyas. They usually come with all the Green Leafy Vegetables and visit each lane in the neighbourhood. These Fritters or Bhajiye are a treat not only to the tastebuds but also a feast to the eyes. Just look at the colour. You will know what i mean to say. Perfect for a tea-party, an anytime snack idea, a brunch idea or Iftaar time too. As the festive season is on, try these for your families, neighbours, helpers and all those around you. Happy Sharing Everyone!

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
