Its that time of the month, its the 10th of the month and each month since beginning of this year the ladies of the Muslimah Food Blogger's group host a challenge. This month's challenge was to create a dish from one of our fellow blogger's blog something which we had booked earlier. For me this was a difficult task as I had collected and book marked and even pinned so many recipes that I had no idea which one to choose.  It was until Zareena from My Experiments with Food  posted  how to make Pani Puris. Believe it or not I have never had a Pani Puri. Yes its gaining a lot of attention from the Maldivians during the recent years but I haven't had  one yet. So I decided to give it a try.  Making the potato filling was easy , the Pani was also not hard but when it came to making the Puris , the challenge came.

Last year I joined this small group of Muslim food bloggers on facebook and met some lovely ladies from different countries, all sharing the same love for cooking and food.  To make  it more fun and entertaining and gain more knowledge  , they have started different challenges for each month. For this  month's challenge they asked to make something using dates. Everyone in my family likes dates, the boys love to snack on  them . Dates are packed with so many goodness , my mom has made it a habit of hers to eat 7 dates  early morning on an empty stomach. For this challenge I have the perfect recipe, a Date , Banana and peanut butter smoothie!!  I  love smoothies and even the boys enjoy them for their mid day snack time, when I make it.    So I came up with this combination of bananas, dates and peanut butter. It was quite rich , hubby thought it was a bit too sweet cos the first time I made it I used a little dark brown sugar to  swe...
