DAHI VADA

Dahi vada is  a  popular dish enjoyed by every one whether it is North or South.    There is a slight variation in the North Indian and South Indian Dahi Vada.  The urid dal vadas are made and soaked it in curd after putting them in hot water, squeezed out the excess water.

In South, the Dahi or Curd is slightly sweetened  and spices are added  but in north it is flavoured with green chutney and sweet chutney and spices.

We love both the version as it is your choice how to make the variation and eat it.  

It is a dish  loved by each and every one specially in summer I used to enjoy this directly from the fridge with lots of coriander on top of it. If the sweet chutney and green chutney is ready in your fridge, then it is every easy to make it.

THENGAI MANGAI PATTANI CHUNDAL

Thengai, mangai Pattani chundal is a famous beach side chaat in South Side.  Whenever I go to Marina Beach or any other beach in Chennai, i do not return home without eating this. Thengai means coconut, Mangai means mango and pattani means white watana boiled.

The hot white watana with coconut and mango bits with lime juice and masala is like we eat the hot sweet corn  in Mumbai.    I love this crunchy munchy item.  whenever you go to Chennai in beach, do not forget to eat this.

Now as I told you mango season is on, maximum utilisation of mango is going on.  Hope you will too enjoy this.

Thengai Mangai Pattani chundal is made with White watana, coconut bits and  mango bits with masalas.
