RASAM POWDER

 

Just like sambhar powder, every household will have their own recipe of rasam powder.  Here is my rasam powder recipe.

URULAIKIZHANGU (ALOO) PACHCHADI

 

This pachchadi goes well with sambhar/kuzhambu/rasam rice and those who love aloo can never say no to this one.  This pachchadi can be made with a very few ingredients in a jiffy.

BOMBAY CHUTNEY

 

I first heard about the Bombay Chutney from my Mother-in-Law.  She, being born and brought up in Pune, cooks a lot of Maharashtrian dishes.  Even, some of her South Indian recipes will have a tinge of Maharashtrian touch.   This chutney goes well as a side dish for rotis and paranthas. 

MANGA RICE (RAW MANGO RICE)

 

Manga rice is very famous in Karnataka as I first heard about it in Bangalore and I was told that this rice is made on Karnataka new year / Ugadi.  It is very simple to make and tastes delicious, the sweet and sourness of raw mango, sweet and creamy coconut, hint of mustard seeds and spicy red chillies.  I used totapuri manga as this variety of raw mango makes the recipe very tasty.

VEGETABLE CHILLA

 

 

I first had with at my in-laws place and liked it instantly.   It is very simply to make and requires very few ingredients.  A healthy and filling way to start the day or can be had as an evening snacks.
