This week I will choose one ingredient and make three side dishes with it. My usual choice would be paneer or some vegetable, but this time, I wanted to use eggs. So you will see three side dishes made with eggs which would perfectly compliment either rice or rotis. When mom made Biryani, it was […]
For the third day of regional side dishes, here is one of my childhood favourites. As much as my daughter loves potatoes, even I love potatoes. My husband calls me periya urulaikilangu ( big potato) and my daughter as chinna urulaikilangu (small potato) This has nothing to do with our size, Hahaha! I am not […]

Today’s recipe is a really simple side dish you can have with any type of rice variety. These spicy potatoes are full of […]
For the second day of Three ingredients recipes, I have a delicious ladoo from Tamil Nadu. When girls attain puberty, it is a must to make ulundhu kali / urad dal halwa.

When Valli announced the theme for this marathon one year back ( yes, we got the theme when doing last year’s mega BM) I was skeptical whether I could pull off 26 rice varieties as I and hubby were both off rice for more than a year, but I still enthusiastically gave my name for […]

For the final day of Rakshabandan sweets, here is one sweet for all chocolate lovers. I know most of you prefer chocolates over sweets for rakhi. Why not combine them both to make this extremely sinful dessert! As I was making these sweets for my daughter, I knew I had to make a chocolate version. […]
My mom was a pro in making coconut burfis. Whenever there was a festival at home, she used to make a huge batch of burfi. Not only for us, but also for friends and family. I remember her going to a family friend’s house for navratri just to make them a huge batch of coconut […]
This is another one pot meal I made for my daughter’s lunch last month. I don’t make rice daily. May be thrice or four times in a week and sometimes she prefers hot rice,, ghee, paruppu podi and appalam. Otherwise I make some easy breezy one pot meals with whatever veggies I have in fridge. […]
This is a quite famous preparation from Kongunadu, i.e Coimabtore area of Tamilnadu. The recipe is so simple and can be done in a jiffy. Made with rice and toor dhal, as the name suggests, the spice is added to the rice by adding sambar powder. When you don’t have any vegetable to work with, […]
