T&T Tasty Palettes : Tomato Rice & Watermelon Granita

Tried and Tasted (T&T) is a event to explore other foodies tastes, appreciate them and confirm that their recipes are worth it says Zlamushka of Zlamushka's Spicy Kitchen who is the brainchild of this event. Many a times I get stumble upon the diversity of many rich, luscious and delish recipes and bookmark them to cook and taste. Through this T&T event I not only get introduce to new food blog's but also tasting awesome, creative, traditional, simple and yummy recipes. This month host for T&T event this month is Tasty Curry Leaf of Experiments,Emotions,Experiences with food. Tasty Curry Leaf has chosen Tasty Palettes by Suganya for T&T this month. You can find the event details here. Happy hosting to you dear Tasty Curry Leaf!

Now coming to
Tasty Palettes by Suganya, where you can virtually feast with your eyes. Luscious, tempting, attracting, delighting recipes and the photography of the pictures tempt you to bookmark and try each and every recipe. Time, weather and atrocious power cuts restrict me with these two recipes. There are lot more in my 'favourites' waiting to be tried and tasted from Tasty Palettes. Wish they may pop up sometime later.....

Tomato Rice

Watermelon Granita


I made hot, spicy and flavoursome Tomato Rice and cool, refreshing and pleasant-tasting Watermelon Granita from Tasty Palettes by Suganya. I simply followed the procedure listed by her in making these two recipes. You can find the recipe's for Tomato Rice and Watermelon Granita here and here.

Watermelon Granita


VERDICT: This is for the first time I made Tomato Rice and it tastes yum. I like the combination of flavourful spices and tangy taste of tomatoes clubbing with hot basmati rice. Coming to Watermelon Granita, it was cool, juicy and scrummy. Thank you Tasty Curry Leaf for choosing Tasty Palettes, Zlamushka for T&T event and finally Tasty Palettes for luscious recipes and drooling pictures.
