MULLANGI SAMBHAR/RADISH SAMBHAR/KUZHAMBU VARIETIES

September 24, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

Sambhar is one of the most sought recipes of the south indian cuisine.Infact all south indian households prepare this almost 3-4 times a week for sure.I also prepare sambhar in our daily menu almost eery other day,but I realised suddenly I didn’t have this sambhar recipe in my blog.It is a fool proof easy basic recipe which is a child’s play if folowed correctly.I usually make sambhar powder,the basic ingredient for this recipe at home.When Aveta Amber from Eastern Spices contacted me to write review for their products,I gladly acknowledged.This brahmin sambhar powder was in the parcel she sent me.I…

INSTANT MORKUZHAMBU/ BACHELORS RECIPES/KUZHAMBU VARIETIES

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. You…

One of the long forgotten raita or pachadi is this Urad Dal Flour raita/Dangarma Pachadi.A very easy to make recipe with very less ingredients and less time to prepare.My mother and MIL both make this and I have tasted this many a times during childhood days.I like raitas since they are creamy and good for stomach as they contain yogurt.This is a very authentic and old recipes which iam not sure how many people prepare this nowadays but you will be surprised by it’s taste and unique flavour.Even children will like this because of the nutty taste of the roasted…

One of the easiest and quickest side dishes for idli, dosa or pongal would be this Pottukadalai Chutney.I am always on the look out of side dishes and when I saw this in an old cook book of my MIL’s I couldn’t help trying out this chutney.This has become a favourite at home now,I have tried this quite a few times now and had an oppurtunity to take photos only last sunday and we had this with pongal.Yes,this chutney made from roasted gramis very tasty and with a nutty feeling.My hubby likes the whole roasted gram which also adds to…

ARACHUVITTA VATHAKUZHAMBU/KUZHAMBU VARIETIES

May 24, 2015 by Nithya Leave a comment

It was in a relative’s wedding lunch menu I tasted this arachuvitta vathakuzhambu.Needless to say it was tasty,but it was kind of thicker as a paste and when asked it what is was,the catering people told,it was a side dish for curd rice and it has some blended spices roasted and ground and added to the gravy.I did not have any idea of arachutta vathakuzhambu,I knew only arachuvitta sambhar.This one sounded unique and immediately after 2 days I tried it in my kitchen.I kept the gravy not too thick,as we wanted the gravy to go with rice.You may follow the…
