I made these varkis last year, but it never saw the blog and I totally forgot about the post and my photos. Then yesterday, one of my readers asked me about Ooty varki and I remembered making them after so many attempts. I promised to post it in a couple of days. When I started […]
Ever since I started my Tamil channel, I have been pretty busy. every new channel struggles at the beginning, and only with consistent posting, it can get the interest of viewers. So I have decided to post for two days in a week while I will be doing only once in my English channel. It […]
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.
