Sweet corn soup...hmm - cant imagine a dinner date without it. sometimes, it is more than an appetizer and fills your stomach! so, I tried this at home and scored another dish in my menu :). This is how I made it..

Ingredients
Corn 
Carrots
Beans
Cornflour
Vinegar
Soy sauce
Ginger garlic paste
Black pepper

Procedure
Boil/microwave corn, carrot pieces and beans for 5 minutes. You can add broccoli and lettuce if you have! Mix cornflour in a small cup and put it aside. Now take 2 cups of water (serves 2 people) and heat in a wok on medium flame, add all the boiled veggies, and 2 spoons of vinegar, 1 spoon soy sauce and pinch of ginger-garlic paste and stir it. Let the mixture boil for 5-7 minutes. Once the bubbles start appearing, add 4 spoons of the corn flour mixture and stir again for 2-3 minutes.  You can add pinch of salt and little black-pepper. That's it. The appetizer is ready to relish! 

Yummy yummy delicious :)

Repaired Roti

Left over, but not rotten, food is always a head ache. you can neither eat it nor throw it away. But there are ways to repair it and eat in different forms! This is a dish which I used to make during my work days when I had to rush to office sans breakfast. usually we have rotis from the dinner that are left over. Try this dish with those left over rotis and let me know how it tastes. 

Ingredients
onion- half
tomato- one
stuff for tadka
green chillis

Procedure
Chop onion and tomato into small pieces. Take a wok, heat it and put tadka and fry onions and add tomatoes. Let it heat for 1 minute. Now cut rotis into small pieces with finger. try to make them into as small as you can. Add the roti pieces to the tomato mix and stir it for sometime. add some salt and turmeric and stir it throughly and let it heat for 2 minutes. 

So, this dish, with cut rotis, is ready and it tastes yummy unlike the usual roti-subji stuff. This is easy to make and you will be guilt free!
