Party Menu Ideas
Pudina Pulao / Mint Pulao / Mint Rice
Mint has a strong flavor. For any biryani’s, pulao’s mint adds extra ordinary aroma. Mint chutney goes fabulous with Idili and dosa. At my home we grow up mint in a pot to pick it fresh when needed. Even now I have mint planted in a pot in my balcony. This is a simple mint pulao with peas and potato.
Rava Kesari
Rava Kesari is a famous sweet and can be served as Hot or Cold. Mostly these sweet would be present in any small functions at our houses. It’s very easy to prepare and yet tastes good. Adding milk enhances the richness of it. Since milk is added it comes in yellowish color. If you are so particular about the color add more Orange food color.
Ennai Kathirikkai Kuzhambu / Oil Brinjal Gravy
Ennai Kathirkkai is one of our fav. Brinjal is cooked well in tamarind juice. It tastes awesome with steamed white rice.
Cabbage Pulao / Muttaikose Pulav
Pulaos are famous north indian rice dishes. Muttaicose is one of our fav Vegetables. At any time they will be available at my fridge. I got this recipe from my Mother-in law,tried for a small party and it was a super hit. A mild rice with any gravy of veg or non-veg would be a best combination for this. My rice was mashed up a little bit coz of excess water added while cooking.
Instant Rasam / Easy Rasam

Sorrel leaves has high levels of vitamins A and C. It’s used in the treatment of Jaundice and also helps for the problems like Indigestion and Cold. We used to grow sorrel leaves at our back yards and pluck them freshly for preparing chutnies. At many of my relative places, they grow up these plants during the season.
Sorrel leaves are famous in Andhra too named as gongura. Any Andhra restaurant will have gongura pachadi as a must for lunch meal.
