Masala rice turned nice aromatic with less work. Back in my childhood, when my grand father was alive, we used to have this planted in our farms very frequently. I hated brinjal all my life until I got married and started trying out new recipes on my own. I love brinjal these days and love trying variations. In this recipe since I didn’t have small brinjal, i used eggplant.
Turmeric / Manjal
Mango Thokku / Mangai Thokku
Manga thokku is one of my favs. It’s kind of pickle and goes well with curd rice, rasam rice and can also be eaten with idili, dosa etc. My Friend’s mom used to prepare this and pack it to me when I was in school. Since the first time I had it at her house I just loved it. I was pestering her to give the recipe for long time and here I got it from my friend recently.
Kothavarangai Paruppu Usili / Cluster Beans Channa Usli ( Iyengar )
Cluster beans are good source of lot of vitamins. We used to cook rarely at my houses. I was searching for recipe other than regular fry, found this recipe. We liked it, something different from usual.
Pepper Chicken Fry / Kozhi Milagu Varuval
Pepper is used to treat common cold India. It’s very hard to consume raw pepper, hot pepper rasam or pepper chicken helps in consuming lot of pepper.
If you want more gravy in this recipe dont fry until water is evaporated, fry only till chicken is cooked.
Keerai Muttai Poriyal / Spinach Egg Stir Fry
Keerai Muttai Poriyal is one of my favorites, it takes no time to cook. All leafy vegetables are source of high nutrients with high health benefits. When I see them in store I buy them without having second thought. They play a major role in cardiovascular health.
