Rice Puttu Upma

Recently I had some left out puttu and  then no one wanted to eat it again for dinner, so in the evening during dinner I restyled the puttu and served. Every one wiped of the plate. Sometimes these kind of twists helps in not wasting food and clearing off the left overs.

BTW its a very cloudy day here and I see the roads are wet......yay...............it has drizzled. Loving it. Let me capture some pics for u guys. 

I am not a late sleeper awake with full energy and in a really happy mood to bake something good. Hmmm what to do...... what to do.....  

I have a small garden in my balcony  where I have coriander, curry, mint leaves, green chillies, lemon and papaya growing. I am so happy see  what has come up......................bindi another plant blooming with flowers thats for sure  some kind of vegetable as I have the crazy habit of  planting all the seeds of the vegetable that I  use in my kitchen.
