The summer is at it's peak and the mangoes are in season.That has driven me to try this long pending to try on my list Aam Panna. Last week when i went to the market i purchased a few raw mangoes.We make pickles of various types with mangoes and eat the long cut pieces.Also there are a variety of gravies and of course as we all know,we make juices and shakes too. This is a North Indian cooler drink made with raw mangoes and is very popular there owing to it's availability of varieties and numbers.I learnt that raw mangoes...

Karakuzhambu is one our family’s most liked gravies.There are many varieties and methods in making these but i like the classic one with drumstick and shallots.A great combo with potato fry an rice,you will end up eating a few mouthfuls extra.It is named karakuzhambu,so it’s a bit spicy but you can always adjust your spice level.I tasted this kuzhambu for the first time at saravana bhavan in chennai.What an awesome taste it was.Truly remarkable.Now this recipe can be made with brinjal,lady’s finger and any vegetable of your choice.Let’s see how it’s made..

Badam Halwa is always a favourite dessert at home,not only because of it’s richness but tastes great and melts into the mouth.Generally in sweet shops it is sold in paper packet.I thought of posting long back,but since it is Diwali time,I realised now is the correct time to post.The ingredients used are minimal and taste is guaranteed to be great.In a recent wedding I attented they served Badam Halwa with ice cream and that was an awesome combination.You can have it just like that and it was a great hit at home and all loved it to the core.Badam Halwa...

Mysore rasam is one of the flavourful and refreshing rasams of the many varieties of rasam we make.As we all know rasam is served as the second course in the south indian menu next to sambhar.Unlike other rasams this one is a bit thicker and richer because of the spices roasted and grounded,mixed and simmered to perfection.I usually make it for dinner as an accompaniment with rice and serve with fried papads/applams.Piping hot rasam with steamed rice with dollops of homemade ghee is truly divine to eat.It is a normal practice to make this rasam during functions and festivities but...
We make numerous breakfast recipes,different lunch varieties yet we are always on the look out for accompaniments to those dishes.Iam afraid we all experience this,if we don't have a good side dish the main dish cannot be enjoyed to its full relishment.Tomato chutney is one such side dish which can not only be made in a jiffy,it can be stored for 2-3 days when made properly.I was thinking something new to eat with dosa and was wondering what to do so this recipe i dug out from an old cookbook at home.One good thing about this recipe is that it...
