I am taking part in the Indian Cooking Challenge after a long time. Nowadays I spend more time on baking related posts that I have completely forgot about other posts. I really need to do some variety for hubby and child. When Valli announced the recipe for the month, I was curious. Though this is […]
Manapparai is a small town in Tamil Nadu and whoever you ask about Manapparai in TN they will remember the murukku. Manapparai murukku is so famous and when the bus crosses manapparai, we are sure to buy packs and packs of these famous murukku from the vendors. I do remember relishing these murukkus whenever […]
I am back after some days and I would like to share a very happy news with you all. Gayathri’s Cook Spot has migrated to its own domain. And this is my very first post. There are so many changes I need to do to the site, but for now, it has all the necessary […]
If you are wondering what happened to me, please don’t worry. I am fine and for the past 16 days had a wonderful vacation. I went to Chennai, Pondicherry, Thiruvannamalai and Karaikudi. In every place I had a nice experience and I couldn’t take a look at my blog. I missed all the events and […]
For this month’s Indian Cooking Challenge, Srivalli got the recipe for Gujarathi snack Gathiya from Vaishali who got it from her friend. Gathiya is a savoury snack which is almost like the south Indian kara sev. The only difference is it is mildly spiced whereas kara sev is extremely spicy. I made this two days […]
For this month’s Indian Cooking Challenge, Srivalli chose a Bengali delicacy from Sandeepa’s Bong Mom Blog. I have made dhokar dalna previously for another monthly challenge. So I was in two minds to prepare it again. But still I went through Sandeepas’s recipe. She has also listed some of the variations of dhokar dalna in […]
For this month’s Indian Cooking Challenge, Srivalli chose a multi layered sweet from Kerala. Chatti Pathiri – sweet version is from Anita of Slice Of My Life. Usually chatti pathiri is made as a savory dish with layers of pathiri sandwiched between meat fillings. It is like the Indian version of Lasagna. The fillings differ […]
It has been nearly a week since I last posted here. My daughter was on her vacation and I was feeling so lazy to do any cooking, clicking or posting. For this month’s Indian Cooking Challenge, which was supposed to be posted on 15th, I am posting it a week later. But it is better […]
Here is the other version of Kordois I posted yesterday. I made these for ICC this month. Srivalli chose the recipes for two versions of kordois from Sunita’s blog. Yesterday I posted the sweet version and today here I am with the savoury version. When I posted the sweet version in Facebook, I received some […]
For this month’s ICC, Srivalli selected an Assamese recipe – Kordois. These are prepared for Magh Bihu festival. Even before knowing the name, I have prepared this several times before marriage, after watching a TV show. We used to make both sweet and savoury versions at home. And we used to relish the savoury version […]
