Oh! The mere mention of this dish brings more than enough saliva in my mouth to start drooling! You know, this has got the nostalgic emotion attached along, cuz my mom used to make manga chammanthy for us during mango season when it is available in abundance in our ancestral home. And that usually, is during our summer vacations. It is so easy to prepare and when she makes this, we just don't ask

Today, I've got another version of uthappam which is similar to the former, difference being in adding egg instead of tomato n onion. Ingredients : Dosa batter : 1 cupSoda powder : 1/4 tspn Egg : 2 nos.Finely chopped shallots : 7 nos.Green chilly : 2 nos.Coriander leaves : a bunch Salt : as

You guys would be very familiar with the plain scrambled egg na, where we beat egg along with required salt, finely chopped onions and green chilly and scrape the eggs. But I feel, this recipe is way too plain n not happening now a days! Hence, I tried a spicy version n this is the outcome! Eventhough it's not got its roots in Kerala, people here has made it a common dish for its simplicity and

Pooris are my favourite eventhough they are full of oil; I admit I can't deny them.. Actually, these are a specialty of North Indians, but Keralites are also not bad at making pooris. I would suggest you do not consume poori late night cuz that might cause you heart-burn and also gift u a bad sleep. Anyways, try this out, sure this will turn out awesome!

Today, I've got injithair for u from the onam menu which is best to have along with a heavy meal, to get rid of gas trouble, good for your stomach. This is one of the oldest recipes of Kerala,considered equivalent to 1000+ curries . Usually, just one spoon of injithair is served along with sadyas.. Guys, thats more than enough for the magic work of inji which I mentioned earlier! This is very

Now, I really don't know whether there is any recipe of this name, which obviously points to the fact that its been discovered by me lately. My hubby is a big fan of sausages, be it chicken or mutton and he prefers it to be given during breakfast along with the main course. Though he usually prefers it to be fried with a li'l oil, I was sort of thinking of getting 'out of the box' n making

Yet another okra recipe, which brings the 'nadan' lunch taste to your tongue, stimulating your taste buds! Oh! am beginning to luv this vegetable! Earlier, I thought of this one as a sticky, messy veg, used only in sambars. Anyways, these new variations are taking okra to a different level, its not at all messy now a days;)! This is from the onam menu which is just perfect with rice! So, here

Millionaires have been made and millions more have died from dependence on the simple, innocent potato. It reached its crowning achievement only once it had been paired with oil. The potato seems to us today to be such a staple food that it is hard to believe that it has only been accepted as edible by most of the Western world for the past 200 years (courtesy : http://www.stim.com).  This

If u remember, I've posted another variety of aripathiri under the label, Sunday Funday much earlier in this blog.. Now this one includes a li'l more effort & time and why not, its worth the effort!

This is one of the oldest n easiest snack I've ever made.. a super hit discovery of moms in South Kerala it seems.. The idea is not mine; after marriage, its bigM, my husband who told me about this snack and he gave me the recipe. His moothumma used to make this snack for him n his bro during summer vacation visits to her house.. and that taste has influenced him so much that he still asks me to

Halwa is the speciality of my Kerala, especially North Kerala. Calicut(Kozhikode), which is a district in North Kerala, known for halwa.. People from around the world come over here n buy kozhikodan halwa in bulk n take home or overseas. Though there are different types of halwa made by experts from around Kerala, I am bringing to you the most easiest one. Remember that for any halwa, funda is,

As one of my best friends' suggested, I'm thinking of concentrating on the basic recipes too a little bit more along with the new ones.. Now, regarding cabbage thoran, what can I say, it is considered to be one compulsory item in the basic menu of any Keralite's tiffin box, isn't it? which simply means its easy to make n also nutritious, which our moms would've aimed at while we were schoolgoers

I guess everyone of us make dosa at home and most of 'em should be fed up with eating plain dosas right? At least, I donot admire dosas much if its gonna be routine. Hence, I thought of blogging an easy-to-make uthappam which is very filling n yummy! Now, for those unaware of what uthappam is, it can be considered as an extension of dosas, say a spicier version. Wondering what it is? Interesting

I jus love the combination n would 'gulp' double the quantity of breakfast I would have if its some other variety..

Parippu curry is a favourite of Keralites; and hence, I guess, it has got a significant place in every household and in the minds of every Keralite..A must for onasadhya and during Vishu too..
