What spiral slicer I use for my salad


The spiral slicer I use for salads makes the dishes very attractive. Not only that, it makes even a fussy eater to have salads without any issue. I got this slicer around 3 years back from a small shop here in Singapore and I do not remember the cost. It is very faster than regular cutting with knife.

Fresh turmeric pickle is an age old recipe passed to me from my mom and grand mom. In Singapore we get it almost throughout the year. However I don’t know for which dishes it has been used.  Fresh Turmeric, ginger, green chili is mixed with salt,mustard powder, lemon juice and little oil. The pickle is then left to be marinated for a day before consuming it. It goes very well with curd rice, roti’s & paratha’s.
