Homemade Pesto Sauce

Pesto is normally made with Basil, Some even make it with sun dried Tomatoes. Now here I have shown how to make Basil pesto. Basil gives very strong flavor for this sauce, to neutralize the basil flavor we add nuts and cheese to it. Now a days many kids have nuts allergy, in that case avoid it. Nuts and Cheese gives extra flavor to this sauce omitting it won't spoil the dish, only it will become little strong flavored, use only little bit of pesto in your recipe in that case.

Pine nuts are commonly used in Pesto,but I use whatever nut available in home sometimes Almond Cashew,even peanuts also.

Pesto is commonly used in pasta, I use it some times wraps and also Sandwiches.

No Rice Bottle gourd Dosa

Bottle gourd Dosa is made with Just bottle gourd and Millets like Sama, Tina. You can also substitute it with rice if you are not a millets person. This is a change from same old dosa variety. I always make it crispy without adding Urid dal if you like soft dosa add just 2Tbsp urid dal and grind it then you will get more softer version of this same dosa. Just half an hour soaking of Millet is enough then you can make it as soon as you grind it.

Yet Another sandwich filling idea. Pesto is good in taste but very strong flavored sauce. If you add it directly to your sandwich that punch won't be there. Paneer will is mild and good combination with this strong flavored pesto. In most of the sandwich you can add cheese but I try not to.
