Leftover Recipe- Cauliflower Pulav

I always try to make the most use of the leftover food. Yesterday I had leftover cauliflower subji. I thought of making something new out of it. I evaluated different ways of using it a little and thought in which it would will fit good either to make cauliflower paratha or to add in pulav and mix well.

Make pulav (already shared recipe) then add cauliflower subji to it and mix well. For more flavor add chopped coriander leaves and then mix well. It will taste so good that nobody will recognize that you have added the cauliflower subji to make it. 

You can also make pulav with the other subji like green beans, cabbage and carrot. Try this some day and you would love it and the leftover subji can be used in great way.

Frozen Strawberry

Strawberry are great source of energy. Many new different dishes can be made from strawberry. Strawberry pie, smoothie, milk shake, lemonade, short cake, etc. 

Take fresh strawberry then take out green leaf out of it and then wash it thoroughly. Take out of the water and pat dry all the strawberry. Take a paper towel and then allow it to dry. Take them to a plate after it is completely dried out and then put it in refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. After that put all the strawberry in Ziploc and then take out air completely and then put it freezer. It can stay good for more than 3-4 months.

Note :- Check my earlier post on how to freeze Blueberry.
