Kashmiri kahwa tea, is generally prepared from Kashmiri green tea leaves, in which spices like saffron, cinnamon, cardamom are infused and kahwa is usually served in transparent cups with sprinkles of almonds and walnuts. Kahwa is sweetened by sugar or honey and i skipped the sweetener as i don't use sugar in my tea or coffee ( don't think i am diabetic, instead i am have big fan of desserts and sweets hehehe).
Kashmiri Kahwa is traditionally prepared in a brass kettle known as a samovar, which has a central cavity to place live coals and a space for water and the ingredients to boil.

Red Kidney Beans/ Rajma salad is my second salad recipe in a row for this week, my first was basic Couscous Salad and hopefully i will have another salad recipe on saturday. Few salads feels you full if taken as a small meal, as these have good fibers in it. You need no worry about calories but need to make sure that dressing you top it up should not hold much calories.
Opsy! I am on edge of healthy weight on BMI chart and i don't want to be overweight...so i have started to take few salads as meal in a week, along with some walk. I just want to burn those extra calories which i have put on during holidays and parties.
Salads are such easy recipes where you can add you favourite veggies or nuts and dress it up with your favourite sauce...no hard and fast rule to make it.Like my Couscous Salad was not spicy to my tastebuds so i have added sambar(indian tangy curry) to it and enjoyed it.
