RASAM DOSA

Rasam and dosa are my favourite.  Any time you give me rasam and rice, I am always ready to eat this with roasted papad.  I do not need any dry subzi along with it.  We all are familiar with rasam vada. Have you tried this rasam dosa?  It is really awesome if you are a rasam lover.

BEETROOT STIR FRY, BEETROOT PORIYAL; DRY SUBZI

I have already posted beetroot subzi    this is yet another version of dry subzi made  out of beet root.  I prefer to eat the beetroot subzi with curd rice specially.  I happened to eat this subzi recently at Ayyappan Temple along with hot rice, sambar and rasam.  Since I liked it very much, I prepared it with slight variation.  Normally, in South Indian Poriyal, coconut along with red or green chilli, cumin seeds are coarsely ground and added in the subzi.

LAUKI SUBZI, DUDHI SUBZI

Luaki or Dudhi or Bottlegourd is very good for health.  It helps in controlling the diabetic, weight and inflammation in liver and kidney.    Lauki juice consumed in empty stomach helps in   curing the urinary tract infections.  A very simple and tasty subzi made out of this goes well with rice, chapati is presented for you today.

TOMATO RAITA

Raita is a good accompaniment for pulao, roti etc. Any kind of raita goes well with the pulao, roti.  Here I am presenting a simple and easy tomato raita recipe for you.

BAMBOO RICE PULAO, MULA ARI PULAO

I have already posted Bamboo rice kheer.  Now I am posting Bamboo rice pulao.  This pulao tastes like the normal red boiled  rice pulao.  This is a medicinal rice too in ayurvedic and good for controlling cholesterol, sugar and blood pressure.  It also helps in reducing the join pain, back pain, arthritis pain etc.

BAMBOO RICE KHEER, MULA ARI PAYASAM

Today is the beginning of the year four teen I mean two thousand fourteen.  May God Bless the Universe with peace and harmony.  Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu.  Thought of making sweet dish along with Poori and Choley today.  The bamboo rice which I got it specially from Kerala for making dishes out of it is lying in the store room for the past three months only I could make it today.  Though the Payasam or Kheer is made for the first time by me, it turned out very well and liked by everyone.  The bamboo  rice looks like brown rice, very small like the surti kolam or wada kolam rice.  It is quite healthy and Controls sugar, Cholesterol and Blood pressure.  Also controls, joint pain, back pan and rheumatic pain.  Good for night blindness, overcoming vitamin deficiency on pregnancy as mentioned in the pack.

ALOO TIKKI

Aloo tikki is made out of aloo or potato.  It is a nice snack as well as chat item.  Aloo chaat, ragada pattice etc. can be made out of this and is loved by one and all  in Mumbai.  The tikki can be had with some sweet chutney or sauce and the ragada pattice can enjoyed with sweet, green and thikka chutney with lots of onion and coriander topped on it.

KOOVA KALI (ARROW ROOT HALVA)

Koova kali is made out of koova podi or arrow root powder. It is also known as  Araru, Araruta.   During Thiruvathira, we make sweet dish out of this known as koova kali.  I have already posted Thiruvathira kali which is also made during this day.  Basically, in South India, this sweet dish is made.   To day is my son's star birthday, so I made this sweet dish for him.

CHOCOLATE MOUSEE

My daughter is very fond of making something sweet always.  when I had stored some tropolite whipping cream for making cakes, she took the opportunity to make the Chocolate mousse.  A very easy, simple and delicious mousse she made, I could not resist myselt eating them though the cold items does not suit me.

MILAGU RASAM, PEPPER RASAM

Rasam can be serve as an appetizer and along with steamed white rice.  This is basically prepared for the feast in South India also for festival, is an integral part.  Various types of rasam are made, but here I am presenting the rasam which is normally made when we are down with fever.  Myself and my brother love rasam rice any time.  My aunty used to make Kottu rasam or Gottu rasam it is called, we used to love this along with chutta appalam (roasted papad).  I have already posted another way of preparing this rasam.  this is the second method.
