It is a yummy treat to surprise your kids always and specially when it comes to chaats,they will be totally happy.I always prefer home made chaats,since I worry about water used in them.You can make this in no time when you have papdis and sev readymade at home.Sev Puri is the a delicious mixture of sev and papdis broken with potatoes,veggies and chutney.Tastes heavenly at any time of the day,my daughter enjoys this quite a lot. You can chop the veggies beforehand and that makes the job easier too.Sev Puri is also the famous street food of Mumbai where it...
Iam a real fan of this mor kuzhambu and make it often at home.Especially when iam making paruppu usili,i make this and it is simply an awesome combination..This mor kuzhambu is a yoghourt based gravy which needs very less time to prepare.This tastes good with variety rices such as coconut rice,tamarind rice or lemon rice.It takes very less time to prepare and the grinding part is the main work here.Make sure to take sour curd as the recipe calls for that sourness in the gravy.You can alternatively use chow-chow,lady's finger or even banana stem in place of ash gourd..Mor kuzhambu...
Rasam as we all know is served as the second course next to sambhar or any other thick gravy,is a slightly thin soup.

It was my long wish to make Peanut Butter at home.I was always of the opinion that it would not turn out nice and i will ultimately end up wasting the ingredients used.But when i was a asked to write for Kungumam Thozhi Magazine last month for 30 various dal/legume variety dishes,i knew i have to try this.It is a lot cheaper and more healthier if you make it this way. I searched google for many recipes but ended up in this because of its simple and easy ingredients.And ofcourse it was quick to make too.It took less than 15...
Rice is a staple food and being a South Indian I do make a lot of rice varieties at home.I also pack them for lunch with any accompaniment such as raita or a curry.I was going through an old cookbook which had this recipe of Black Urad Dal Rice.In Tamil it is called Karuppu Ulundu and has innumerable health benefits.I have one Black Urad Dal tadka and it turned out be delicious as well.As far this rice goes,it is an easy to make recipe and if you have made this powder already,the rest is a breeze. I have a variety...
