Ponnanganni keerai also known as dwarf copper leaf is a wonderful herb. I have always heard mom say that ponnanganni increases eye power. I always stock my fridge with some greens and when I saw these tender greens in the farmer’s market, I couldn’t resist buying. Instead of making kootu or mash or poriyal, I […]
Wishing all my readers a wonderful Tamil New Year Tamil puthandu Vaalthukkal (wishing you in Tamil) For the A-Z Tamil cuisine recipe marathon, for the alphabet L, again I couldn’t get any dish except lavangam/ clove. And I had no idea what to make with that as it is a spice and used minimally […]
After two deep fried snacks, let us have a look at a healthy steam cooked snack which is so tasty. I have tasted these kozhukattai near Meenakshi Amman temple. After the traffic was stopped on the four streets surrounding the temple, it has become a great place to go by walk. Without traffic, it is […]
When I posted the puttu maavu made with cholam/ jowar, I also made puttu out of it. As I told you before, I am trying to incorporate millets in my day to day cooking and this recipe is one in which I substituted rice flour with jowar flour. Usually I get heartburn when I eat […]

For the second day of healthy diet recipes, I am here with one more millet dish. The batter I am going to post is what I make always and it is always available in my fridge. I don’t prepare the normal dosa batter with rice. Millets have become part of our daily diet and I […]
I have reduced consumption of rice in our house. When ever I make dosas, idlis or appam, I try to incorporate millets in it. Jowar dosai has become our daily breakfast. If at all I make dosa with rice, my daughter begs me to make it with jowar / cholam. So after making a hit […]
As I mentioned earlier, I have been experimenting with different types of dosas with flours to avoid rice. This is one of the dosa which my family likes very much. Using jowar instead of rice increases the nutrition in dosas. To know more about the nutritional facts of jowar read this article. It is quite […]
Jowar is a nutritious and gluten free millet. These rotis go very well with curries. As this flour is gluten free, you need to use hot water to make the dough. Otherwise you will not be able to roll out rotis. Once hot water is added the dough becomes a little bit softer and will […]
