Mushroom biryani is a nice alternative for vegetarian friends.
Ghee / Clarified Butter / Neei
Hotel Vegetable Korma / Tamilnadu Veg Kurma ( Mixed Vegetables )
Korma tastes similar to the one they serve in the restaurants. This can be accompanied with chapathi or any kind of roti. Vegetables of your choice can be added.
Sorakkai Paal Curry / Pal Sorakai Poriyal / Bottle Gourd Milk Gravy
Lot of us know to cook bottel gourd in one or two ways to make a fry or some sweet recipe. I should say this is the best recipe i had with Bottle Gourd. Once of my friends who was my roommate too cooked this when we were staying together, I just loved it in the first attempt itself. Bottel gourd with ghee and milk should be a perfect combination to mix with white rice, can also be eaten with Chapathi or roti.
Tamilnadu Ven Pongal
Venn Pongal is a eaten as a breakfast item in Tamilnadu. The rice & moon dhal cooked in ghee tastes awesome with coconut chutney. This is very easy to prepare, trust me no one dislikes this pongal. The best combo for this is Medhu Vadai with Coconut Chutney.
Chicken Biryani Tamilnadu Style
Biriyani is one of the famous foods in India. The way of making differs all over India with slight taste variations. Taste of the biriyani lies in the ingredients added and mainly depends on the order in which they are added. This is a very simple recipe used mostly in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The same procedure can be used to make Veg, Mushroom Biriyanis taking out the Chicken and related marination stuffs. Taste and Flavor of the biryani comes well when you trial it for more number of times. I added Orange Food Color- 1/4 tsp to get this color.
Pudina Pulao / Mint Pulao / Mint Rice
Mint has a strong flavor. For any biryani’s, pulao’s mint adds extra ordinary aroma. Mint chutney goes fabulous with Idili and dosa. At my home we grow up mint in a pot to pick it fresh when needed. Even now I have mint planted in a pot in my balcony. This is a simple mint pulao with peas and potato.
