Black Bean & Squash Veggie Burgers

We always have people with a variety of eating preferences & palates attending our BBQ's. In response, I've always had fun experimenting with flavors and making new burgers for our get-togethers. This time I want to share one that was tried and tested with our family recently and is sure to be a hit at your summer BBQ's. This soy-free veggie burger is packed with flavor, that plays off the herby cilantro and spicy BBQ sauce, topped with an avocado slice on a sesame seed bun.

Semiya Payasam - Vermicelli Kheer


Amma came to visit this summer, she stayed with us for 2 months. This is the first time she's seen our new home. She spent a lot of time in our expanded flower & kitchen garden, feeding the koi in our pond, cooking and making treats & snacks, and of course watching Guy Fieri's Triple D & Chopped. While she was here she showed me how to make this delicious pudding made from vermicelli pasta, milk and of course cardamom. Semiya Payasam, also known as Vermicelli Kheer, is an essential dish in many Hindu festivals and celebrations.  I never really would have thought that, that combination of milk and pasta would be so tasty! The sweet milky vermicelli picks up the fragrant cardamom beautifully in this delicious pudding topped with toasted cashews and plump raisins.
Here is Amma's recipe:
