September 23, 2015 by Nithya 3 Comments

It is a favorite gravy,this Morkuzhambu.But this one does not involve the usual soaking of dals and the lengthy proceedure. This is an easy recipe which I learnt from my MIL who learnt it from her MIL.Secret family recipe.As I was scrolling in my blog,I realised I didn’t have this yogurt based recipe ,so I started preparing it instantly.Even bachelors who want to have morkuzhambu the easy way can go ahead with this.The other point to be noted here is that,even if you don’t have any veggie,still you can make this as I have made this with Manathakkali Vathal.

CAPSICUM TOMATO RAITA

May 8, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

We always look for accompaniments for the main dishes and they are always an added attraction to our main dish.Raitas are good sidedishes for any rice variety and when i made coriander rice last week i also made this capsicum tomato raita.The crunchiness of fried capsicum was well complimented with freshly chopped tomatoes.It is a very quick recipe and can be made by bachelors as well.I am posting this as my first bachelor recipe,so that it will be an easy side dish option for them.Do use fresh and unsour thick curd for better results.See recipe below..

THAYIR VADAI/CURD VADA

April 1, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

` Curd vadai or Thayir Vadai is one of our family favourites.I like to make it because of the creamy curd texture and vada when mixed gives an exotic flavour to the snack.Normally when i make make Medhu Vada or urad dal vada,i reserve some batter extra or make some vadas extra so that i can make this.It is healthy as it involves curd and tastes really awesome.I have seen in Iyengar functions and marriages,the making of this snack is mandatory and they add this to their lunch menu.When you are preparing medhu vada next time you know what to do,yes,try out this yummy recipe but without adding onions and let me know..
