Mango rice preparations is much similar to the lemon rice but will be with mango’s sour taste added coz of raw mango prepared in tamilnadu style. My friend advised me not to make any dishes with onions on Varalakshimi Nonbu and I decided to make this. So this rice don’t have onions, but if needed they can be added.
Venn Pongal is a eaten as a breakfast item in Tamilnadu. The rice & moon dhal cooked in ghee tastes awesome with coconut chutney. This is very easy to prepare, trust me no one dislikes this pongal. The best combo for this is Medhu Vadai with Coconut Chutney.
A simple flavorful Kulambu to be accompanied with white rice. Potato roast or vadam is the best combo according to me.
Tried making chetinnadu method vendaikkai moor kulambu and it turned out very good. I think this is derived from Revathi Shanmugam recipes, don’t remember exactly. My mom makes it without coriander leaves and green chili but it does add unique flavor and I enjoy it with this.
This is a very common and easy potato fry which made in every south indian families for Lemon rice, Curd Rice, sambar rice and any other variety rices.
Biriyani is one of the famous foods in India. The way of making differs all over India with slight taste variations. Taste of the biriyani lies in the ingredients added and mainly depends on the order in which they are added. This is a very simple recipe used mostly in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The same procedure can be used to make Veg, Mushroom Biriyanis taking out the Chicken and related marination stuffs. Taste and Flavor of the biryani comes well when you trial it for more number of times. I added Orange Food Color- 1/4 tsp to get this color.
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.
Ennai Kathirkkai is one of our fav. Brinjal is cooked well in tamarind juice. It tastes awesome with steamed white rice.
