Puliyogare /Tamarind Rice

redchillies — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 01:19:27 +0000

Puliyogare is a South Indian rice preparation usually eaten as a snack/breakfast. Puli means sour taste and Ogara means rice in Halegannada (old Kannada), thus Puliyogare translates as sour tasting rice. Puliyogare is also known as Huli anna or Tamarind Rice in some parts of Karnataka. (Source). This is usually one of the Rice items prepared during [...] Related posts:

I was in dual mind while putting together the post; should I or shouldn’t I post this recipe? Why the quandary you ask? Well frankly, the biscuits did not turn out the way I had anticipated. They were not flaky and also they did not puff up as I had expected them to be. But [...] Related posts:

Tomato Mint Pilaf

redchillies — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:50:47 +0000

I have to give full credit to DH for this recipe of Tomato Mint Pilaf, as he took over the mantle of chopping, cooking, preparing and even cleaning. Now DH is a talented, but reluctant cook. In a decade’s time that I have known him, it must have been a handful of times; he has [...] Related posts:

As you might already noticed the first two pictures are quite different from the last one. I did take the earlier pictures when I had the energy and enthusiasm, but not so much with the last one though. Frankly it was not meant to be that way. Two weeks ago I had brought a big [...] Related posts:

Time flies and how! This year’s Diwali is also over. But then hope you all had a wonderful and a blessed Deepavali. We had a crazy time both on the home front and the work front and so could not post any Diwali related sweets and savories. Compound to that both me and my son [...] Related posts:

Seasoned Yogurt Vermicelli with Grapes

redchillies — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 22:36:01 +0000

The combination of crunchy texture and sweet, tart flavor have made grapes an ever popular between meal snack as well as a refreshing addition to both fruit and vegetable salads. Grapes contain beneficial compounds called flavonoids, which are phytonutrients that give the vibrant purple color to grapes, grape juice and red wine; the stronger the [...] Related posts:

Thengol/ Thenkuzhal/ Thengolu (Fried Urad and Rice flour noodle)

redchillies — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:44:53 +0000

Quite frankly the description that I have provided for ‘Thengolu’ is just a hodgepodge of words and does not seem very appetizing. One has to taste it to really experience the taste, flavor and crispiness of it. Thengol/ Thenkuzhal is a South Indian deep fried savory dish more like Sev, however this has Urad Flour instead of [...] Related posts:

Eggless Banana Oats Chocolate Chip Muffins

redchillies — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 19:45:36 +0000

The project of baking some muffins way back in May of this year along with DS was fun, but I felt the little one needed more ‘maturity’ and ‘seriousness’ for baking activity. I decided to give it few more months, before involving him in baking projects. That was in May, but now over several months, I have [...] Related posts:
