Minced Mutton Kheema/ Mutton Kothukari
Cook Time :30-45 Min | Servings : 2 Persons
“The fewer ingredients, the better taste” is true for Mutton Kothu Kari which is one of my favorites. This is one of the Sunday Non-Veg specials at my home. As and when the mutton starts to cook the aroma fills the home and makes you real hungry. I generally have it with steamed white rice or chapathi. I used home made curry masala and fresh ground ginger garlic paste to get the real taste of mom’s cooking. The secret of getting a better taste for any recipe is to add the fresh ground ginger garlic paste, you’ll definitely notice the difference.

Vendakkai puli kulambu/ Okra puzhi kulambu

This is one of our very frequent gravies, easy to prepare and delicious. There’s another method of preparation with slight variation of adding ground paste to get the extra flavor. Okra cooked in any form tastes good. This is one of my favs, it’s very easy to prepare yet nothing can beat it’s taste.
Pongal with Rock Sugar or Sugar Candy / Kalkandu Pongal
Cook Time :25 Min | Servings : 2 persons
Happy Tamil New year Friends !!
I was thinking to do something sweet on the Tamil New year day but wasn’t sure what to do. Suddenly got reminded of the rock sugar which I recently brought from Indian groceries and got this recipe from my MIL. She was telling me that this would taste like halwa as we add more milk and ghee. Trust me, they tasted really like halwa !!! I added more milk than water, also the ghee improved it’s taste.
I don’t remember a special occasion on when this is prepared at our houses, but these days Kalkandu pongal is served in marriages at my palce for dinner.
