This is an excellent alternative for regular dosa and takes very little prep time. If you don’t have Oats flour handy, dry roast Oats for 2-3 mins until they are brown and grind into fine flour.
You can add rice flour to make it crispy like Rava dosa. I added wheat flour instead and wasn’t crispy.
Medhu vadai is a very famous savory fritter, a common breakfast item in Tamilnadu served along with idili or ven pongal as combo. It’s also often soaked in Sambar or Curd and served as Sambar/Curd vadai.
I love to have this with coconut chutney as side or soaked in curd.
Thank you friends for the constant queries and support. We have moved from Arkansas to Austin, Texas. We are really liking Austin, it feels a lot like India.
It took a little while to get back on track from the busy moving, exploring/enjoying the new place etc and the lazy mood that follows after the exhaustion.
I have lots of recipes to post in my draft. I can’t wait to post them soon. I can say hopefully that I’m back from the long pause/vacation/break or whatever.
Here’s today’s recipe, Kerala Fish Curry. The reason why I like fish is it’s very rich in protein, no cholesterol and wont feel heavy.
When there’s an option for fish and chicken I would always prefer fish. I am trying out different varieties of Fish dishes to not get bored of my favorite ones.

When I went to meet my friend in Chicago, we had been to Penang Restaurant for dinner. I never have been to any Malaysian restaurant before but N does many times, since his parents lived in Malaysia for quite a long time.
They all suggested me Roti Canai with the Chicken curry. I very much fell in love with those after having them. Hence I added it to my priority recipes list to prepare at home. The roti canai tasted much like our Ceylon parota but very thin and the chicken curry is different from what we cook. It’s not too much loaded with spicy aroma though it had all the spices we use. I noticed they add coconut milk instead of ground coconut and also the curry gets rich yellow color coz of lot of turmeric.

Can any of you deny that Rava dosa is the tastiest of all dosas? Most would agree yes. I love them becoz it’s easy to prepare at home and they are crispy and tasty. Preparing this doesn’t involve much of the process, we need to prepare this mix just before 2 hrs or it can be done instantly too. Though it takes quite a long time to get it done on griddle than a ordinary dosa, it’s worth trying it for it’s taste.
Chicken 65 is a very popular starter in most restaurants that serve non-veg in Tamilnadu. I am sure most would agree with me on this. Chicken deep fried in oil with the extra seasoning makes it tasty and lip smacking. T

here’s various stories on how the Chicken 65 name evolved. Chicken of 65 days older suites well to cook this recipe or there are 65 ingredients to cook this recipes etc. I’m not exactly sure of the origins of the name, but this is indeed a true mouth watering dry chicken dish. It’s not a tough job to get restaurant quality, this is a very easy method to cook at home with a restaurant style taste.

Kebab’s are famous as starters in restaurants. Hariyali tikka is a famous Punjabi dhaba appetizer. They are famous along the highway side dhabas and some restaurants. They are grilled in the fire grill. They are perfectly coated with mint and coriander flavor turns out to be green Chicken Kababs.
Normally the chicken alone will be grilled, for a change I added some chili powder coated onions and bell peppers. Trust me, it tastes really good. We loved them a lot!! We ended up fighting for the grilled onions and bell peppers.
I added a little extra mint and coriander, so it looks very greenish. But I have reduced the quantity of them in the recipe, so with the below recipe the color would vary a little from what I have got.
