BACHELOR SAMBHAR MASALA,

Sambhar masala or kuzhambu podi is a blessings for the bachelors as they don't have to worry about preparing masala.  Just boil the vegetables and add the masala in it to make sambhar or kuzhambu varieties.  No hassle of boiling tuvar dal, grinding, making tamarind pulp  etc.

I tried this masala as my son is staying as a bachelor and it is easy for the maid  to cook the sambhar without any hassle.

Always make in small quantities and store it for retaining the flavour.

POMEGRANATE RAITA l DALIMB RAITA l MATHULANGA RAITA

Raita is a yoghurt based dish with any kind of raw vegetables like onion, carrot, beetroot, cucumber, tomato and fruits like apple, pineapple, pomegranate etc. are added to it.

It is served along with any kind of rice varieties like pulao, jeera rice, upma etc.

Today I made this raita to serve it along with Achari Upma.

ACHARI UPMA, PICKLE FLAVOURED UPMA

Upma is a Breakfast item made in Southern States.  It is served along with sambhar, chutney or as it is.  In Maharashtra, it is called uppittu and served with thin sev, kanda and lime.  The texture is little semi solid form.  I love the combination of Upma and Choley.

This idea came to my mind because I used to eat it with any kind of pickle.  Since I had freshly made mango pickle, I thought I will add this to upma and make it.

  Let us look at the recipe:

KOTHIMBIR VADI

Kothimbir vadi is a Snack item made with gram flour and coriander leaves.  This is a Maharashtrian special dish which can be served steamed, shallow fried and deep fried.  All these methods tastes so good and any time you can have this.

Different people make it in a different way like some people add sesame seeds, some adds roasted peanuts.  Some don't add rice flour, some adds rava in case the besan is very smooth.  Normally, the Jada besan is used.

ALOO KASURI METHI PARATHA, ALOO METHI PARATHA

When you eat the same stuff everyday, you feel bored. Especially, during summer, you don't feel like eating. You always wants to  drink something cold, have ice cream etc.  

When I asked my daughter what you want to eat, she said "Kuch Acha" that is the patent dialogue of my son and daughter.  I told her to be specific and she said Aloo methi paratha.  Since I did not have methi readily available with me, I used Kasuri methi instead of fresh methi leaves.  So don't worry next time when you want to make Aloo methi paratha and don't have fresh methi, use kasuri methi leaves.
