Any one from Tamilnadu can tell us how famous poori and potato masalas are at our places. Many of the parties will have it for sure. I love them a lot, when I see the puffed up poori I will be tempted to eat 2 more than usual.
Tomato / Thakkai
Muttai Thokku / Egg Thokku
Egg is rich in protein. Doctor suggests to eat a egg per day. If any one is dieting, a boiled egg an be taken for breakfast. since egg is rich in protein it takes lot of time to digest and makes us not to starve till lunch. A simple egg thokku prepared in tomato.
Chettinad Muttai Kuzhambu / Egg Curry
Chettinadu dishes are very famous for it’s spiciness and aroma. I like the egg to be cooked along with the gray rather than boiling and adding it separately to the gravy.
Andhra Fish Curry Spicy / Meen Kulambu
Many of us like fish gravy, I love fish cooked in the tamarind juice. I have been trying out many recipes and this one turned to be one among those i liked. I normally add the fish in Kuzhambu before adding tamarind juice coz i like the fish to be cooked well in tamarind. But the fish will break into small pieces, so if you are so concerned add the fish at the end as suggested in the recipes. Fish curry tastes better the next day, try it out. Have Fun !!

Kollu Rasam / Horse gram rasam
Kollu paruppu rasam is normally prepared to treat Cough / Cold at my house. If this is taken with white rice for 2 days when we have cold, the cold will be gone with no traces.
Kollu Paruppu Chutney / Horse gram Chutney
This chutney is a special treat from Kongunadu. Normally Horse gram recipes are prepared to treat Cold at my places. This goes good with white rice.
