For the alphabet F, I had a really tough time. I never found a recipe in Tamil starting with F, as there is no letter which pronounces as F in Tamil. So I had to go for an English name for this. Fried idli/ Idli fry is one recipe my…

Elumichambala Rasam
For the alphabet E, this delicious easy rasam recipe is what I chose from a cook book which my mum gave. Though I have tried some versions of rasam like Paruppu Rasam, Poricha Rasam, Mysore rasam, Murungai Poo Rasam, Thengai Paal Rasam. But have never tried rasam with lemon. Usually…
Dosai Maavu Bonda (with Cholam / Sorghum)
Here is one more millet based recipe from my kitchen. I am amazed about how I try to incorporate millets into my day to day cooking. Yes, even I am surprised that I finally got hook of healthy life style. The most important point here is my daughter has been…
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

Sweet Thengai Sevai
As I have already mentioned in my masala sevai post, sevai is one versatile dish which can be made into so many varieties. Every time mum prepares sevai at home, she makes at least four or five different varieties out of it. Nowadays, it is even easier. We get ready…
Coconut Beetroot Ladoo
For this month’s final week, I chose to do three dishes with coconut. I use coconut a lot and I had a really tough time selecting recipes for this week. Coconut has to be the star ingredient in the dish we choose. As my daughter’s academic year came to an…
Egg Free Omelette / Veg Omelette Recipe
Omelette is made with eggs. Without eggs there is no omelette. But still we who don’t eat eggs, find a way to recreate the fluffy dish without the use of eggs. I would never claim that I am the first to do this. My mum used to make this besan…
