August 2, 2015 by Nithya 1 Comment

I think there won’t be a single person who doesn’t love this flavourful tangy and spicy rice which is fondly known as puliyodharai.The tamarind sauce in which the pulikachal is made is so yummy and tasty that using it as a base you can make a variety of dishes,chief of them being tamarind rice and tamarind sevai.I also make instant aval with it.I have pulikachal recipe in my blog so please follow that link to make this recipe.Every family has a different recipe for this iyengars make it a bit spicy and add pepper corn carefully grounded and add to their gravy of pulikachal.This is how I made and all enjoyed for lunch box as well.

SCHEZWAN FRIED RICE

June 4, 2015 by Nithya 2 Comments

All kids love chinese food and dhivya is no exception.I have seen her go crazy about chinese food and she loves this flavourful schezwan fried rice.We ordered once this at a hotel and it was a bit spicy,so when she asked me to make this for her college lunch box,I thought of making schezwan sauce first and made this rice with it.I kept the spice level low,since I didn’t want to make it look like the hotel style.Making schezwan sauce was very good and I stored it in a large bottle in fridge.I served it with schezwan baby potato,one of…

May 26, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Cabbage is one of the omitted vegetables for most and people eat it just for the sake of it,mainly because it doesn’t have any flavour of it’s own.I besides making poriyal/curry add it to many dishes in upma,aval,sandwiches,noodles and soup as well.I even make pakoda with it.Not much talking,coming to the topic,I saw this cabbage recipe in a cook book when sitting in the airport.Causally scrolling across the pages I stumbled upon this recipe and tried it when I came home,ofcourse for daughter’s lunch box.It tasted truly nice wih the balance of added spices and onions,the cabbage rice was liked…
