Recently I got Ragi Vermicelli sent by my Mom from India. It’s a very healthy and alterative way of taking it. Just followed the instruction written on the cover.

Bottle Gourd Fry / Sorakkai Poriyal
A simple version of kongunadu bottle gourd fry which matches well with white rice. I remember plucking fresh vegetable from our form and cooked. Those tasted really good.
Wheat Flour Dosa / Peanut Chutney (Groundnut Chutney)
When I was young, I always go to my grand ma’s house for any holidays. She makes it for dinner almost every day with Tomato sambar and Coconut Chutney. She grinds the chutney in hand grinder and the taste used to be awesome, it is still in my tongue. Wheat dosa is very healthy one and a substitute for chapathi. The variations can be done with chopped onion, green chili and coriander leaves added to it. Best tastes with coconut Chutney, Peanut chutney or any of the fav Chutnies.
Bitter Gourd Fry / Pavakai Varuval
This is my mom’s specialty recipe. When this is cooked at my home, I don’t even leave any trace in my plate. Ghee along with bitter gourd mixed with white rice really tastes good.
Ghee reduces the bitter taste of it little. I bet you would surely like this if you are a fan of bitter gourd. Try it out and let me know.
Tandoori Chicken
I should say this as a best Tandoori Chicken south Indian recipe. I have been trying out lot of recipes for Tandoori Chicken, this turned out to be the best I have ever tasted.

The initial marination and the second step marinations makes it very juicy and tasty to the core. Cooking it in the broiler pan in oven gave the best result.
Kadai Bhindi / Kadai Ladies Finger
Ladies finger cooked in the aroma of coriander seeds. I loved this recipe from Vahrehvah. I prepared this in N’s b’day party for a small crowd and it was a super hit. N likes anything prepared in Ladies Finger. He liked this and often bugs me to prepare this.
Cluster Beans Fry / Kothavarangai Poriyal
One of the simple ways a Cluster Beans Fry prepared in Kongunadu. We have it mostly with white rice and it also goes well with Curd rice.
