Broccoli leek parsley soup 🍲 Mixed veg salad 🥗

I usually don't go for shopping. Today went to get some veggies in a newly opened super market. When I saw veggies cooked in "Master Chef" i grabbed them without even thinking 🙈 after reaching home got confused with lots of YouTube recipes 😵 then after getting some guidance from BLMM members and tried these and it came out well.💜This is my unusual shopping experience of today 😅😅 

Never cooked before veggies :

Leek, Parsley and Cherry tomatoes

Salad : purple cabbage, red yellow capsicum, lettuce, leek, broccoli, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, salt, Italian herbs and sauce

Soup : butter, broccoli, leek, parsley, salt, garlic, pepper powder. Cooked and blended with water. 

My version of Sweet Potato

Sweet potato comes under our evening snack menu once a week. We all love steamed & baked version of Sweet potatoes. I always make my evening snack simple and quick so that i wont get exhausted to cook dinner. So, let's have a look of my simpler evening snack version 😀

Steamed version :

Peal the skin and chop the potatoes.

Steam for 10 minutes in a steamer/Idli maker.

Sprinkle Chilli powder/Chaat masala.

Baked Version :

Peal the skin and Chop the potatoes

In a baking tray smear ghee.

Place the potato pieces on the tray with spaces in between.

Bake for 15 minutes(200C) by flipping in between.

Sprinkle Chilli Powder/Chaat masala/Cumin powder.
