Today iam going to post a unique and our family recipe rasam.In olden days for grinding spices grandmas used ammi and kuzhavi.It is actually a flat grinding stone.You might think what that has to do with uor rasam recipe today.Well,iam coming to that.It is on that grinding stone the masala for this rasam was ground.Nadathivitta litreally means to run the long stone on the flat granite stone surface.Well it is in this this rasam tur dal is soaked and grounded and not cooked and added.A simple rasam tastes great with any thuvayal and appalam/papad.My grandma used to make it and…

Dry Curry, Side Dish for Roti

BESAN WALI SIMLA MIRCH

February 19, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

This is one yummy exotic dish which i tasted at one of my marwadi friend’s house.Much back in college days, but i still remember the taste, so flavourful yet crunchy.We always make different gravy items for rotis and phulkas with capsicum.This one uses only one vegetable here and that is king capsicum.You could have this for vrat days as well as no onion or garlic is included in the making.Roasted besan imparts a nice aroma and the coat it gives to capsicum is simply awesome.Do try this tasty dry curry for your rotis and rice,I’m sure you’ll enjoy this.See down…

MOR RASAM

To many this rasam may sound new,but it is an age old recipe made in my household as a mix with rice when you have cold cough etc.I don’t mind eating fresh curd when i have cold but it is a general fact that it should be avoided when you have cold.My mom and grand mom used to make it whenever we feel having it.It is so comforting that my hubby likes to drink it as a soup as well.Now see below the easiest recipe of mor rasam.

If i say monsoon snacks,the first thing that comes to my mind is this chilli /molaga bajji.Simply drooling while typing this.Yum yum..Well just an excuse,don’t worry tastes great even when there is no rain this chilli bajji is an awesome snack item.I made this on a saturday evening and all enjoyed to the core.I also like a North indian version of this which i intend to post later.The batter is just normal bajji batter and can be made in no time.Try out this as an snack and enjoy with your family..

Easy, Kootu

CABBAGE KOOTU

November 8, 2014 by Nithya Leave a comment

We all like to have simple yet healthy and filling menu sometimes and from the elaborate preparations stick to a wholesome quick food.This cabbage kootu aptly fits the category and and i prefer it on lazy afternoons with hot rasam.Kootu is a stew made out of many vegetables such as chayote or chow chow,pumpkin,snake gourd to name a few.Each one can be made differently and the choice is yours.It is less time consuming to prepare,tasty and flafourful too.Cabbage is otherwise very bland having no taste of it’s own,but considering the fact it is healthy i have added a few spices…

ALU PALAK

Alu Palak is a tasty North Indian curry with pureed spinach mixed with boiled potatoes.When i first tasted alu palak at a restuarant,i knew i had to try this at home.It was tasty with minimal masalas and totally out of the world.Since my daughter likes palak i thought of making this for her to go with chappatis for lunch.We all know about the benefits of spinnach aka palak don’t we?The making of the gravy is the only work here,once done mix with boiled potatoes and you are done.The great thing is it tastes just good with pulaos as well.Here is…

DRY MANGO KUZHAMBU

It is heavily raining here for the past 2 days.Sometimes you want to eat spicy food on rainy days and with sun dried mangoes sent by my mom i was tempted to make this classic gravy item of yesteryears.It is also called mankottai kuzhambu,since along with cut pieces of dried mango its seed with flesh is also dried and used in the gravy.Normally no restraunt would serve this as it is an authentic recipe dusted from grandma’s cookbook.Mom makes this often specially on a rainy day with rice and parrupu thogayal with dollops of homemade ghee.Tastes divine.This gravy calls for…
