Chenaikilangu Varuval
For the alphabet C, I chose chenaikilangu. Chenaikilangu is nothing but yam which is a root vegetable. We use this to make Yam roast, kola urundai and a baked version of the roast. But still hubby wants me to make it like one of his colleague’s wife. I have never…
Beetroot Kola Urundai
For the alphabet B, it was so easy to choose. Beetroot is one of my favourite vegetables but used only in a handful of dishes. I wanted to explore more and saw this recipe in a Chettinad book I own. When I decided upon the cuisine for this BM, I…

Today I will be sharing a very easy recipe which is yet tasty. When I was a kid, my mum used to steam cook sweet potatoes and serve as it is and they were so sweet. But nowadays, they are not that sweet and are kind of bland to taste.…
Naarthangai Oorugai / Kafir Lime Pickle
When I bought home a huge batch of naarthangai / citron / kafir lime, I got two recipes from my aunt. This is the second recipe I got from her. Scroll down to the end of the post for the first recipe. I have seen kafir lime a lot in…
White Chilly Chutney
For the final post on condiments, I wanted to make something from our country. Months back, when I visited a stores, I saw a tray full of white chillies. They were so cute to look at, but I didn’t know what to do with that. But still being a food…
