This weekend it was freezing cold here, couldn't go out anywhere. For the chill temperature felt like having some crispy snack. When I was thinking what to do, many recipes came to my mind like Baked Pakoda, baked bonda, baked bread roll, baked bread Tikki but all those recipes demanded some work, lazy me was thinking of some quick snack without much work. Hubby suggested Microwave potato chips but I was out of potatoes, immediately Corn tortilla in kitchen pulled my attention. Got them for Quesadilla, had some 9 tortilla left, so decided to do tortilla chip. These chips is great way to finish your leftover tortilla

Preparation time : 4 mins | Baking time : 15 mins
Ingredients:
Corn Tortilla - 9
Oil - 1 tbsp
Salt - as needed
Basil - 1/4 teaspoon (Optional)

Poondu Kulambu | Poondu Kulambu recipe | garlic tamarind curry | spicy chettinadu poondu kuzhambu | spicy south indian garlic gravy | south Indian kuzhambu recipe | poondu milagu kuzhambu is healthy tamarind based south Indian kuzhambu recipe. Quick 30 minutes kuzhambu stays good for a week. Poondu kulambu is great postpartum recipe.
I love tamarind based Kuzhambu recipes. When it comes to homemade puli Kuzhambu recipes poondu kuzhambu, Appalam Kuzhambu, enna kathirikai kuzhambu, Onion Vatha Kuzhambu are some of my favorites kulambu varieties. I also love Saravana bhavan hotel style kara Kuzhambu. You can make hotel style poondu kuzhambu with freshly ground coconut based sambar paste. Today I have used sambar powder which comes handy for quick 30 minutes kuzhambu.
For this recipe I have used homemade tamarind paste. Instead you can soak small lemon sized tamarind, extract tamarind water and prepare kuzhambu. If you are using store bought tanarind paste, adjust the quantity according to it's soreness.
Yes, I like the soreness from tomatoes hence I have used them. If you are skipping tomatoes adjust the tamarind accordingly. Pulikaichal, puli aval, instant puli sadam some of my tamarind based dishes
Garlic is very good for health and I love any food prepared with garlic. It is widely used for indian pathiya samayal recipes.. Milagu Kuzhambu, marundhu Kuzhambu, Poondu sadam, vetrilai poondu Saddam,poondu rasam are some of my favorite indian postpartum recipes
puli based Kuzhambu variety generally stays good for Up to 1 week in fridge
In our home we prefer thick poondu kulambu. You can adjust the water according to your desired consistency. Kuzhambu generally thickens over time but if youthink kuzhambu is runny make a slurry with kuzhambu and rice flour and add it to the kuzhambu .

Creamy broccoli soup is a tasty flavorful soul with broccoli. Broccoli soup is one tasty way to make to give broccoli to kids. Cheese makes it extra flavorful.
Broccoli is one vegetable which took me a while may be more than that to try. I should say my first few attempts with broccoli was not great. I try to boil it like cauliflower and will lose it flavorful.
One day when we went to our friend’s house for dinner she made creamy broccoli soup. The moment I heard broccoli o was so doubtful to try it. After seeing the way hubby Enjoyed the soup. I took a sip and loved it.
Finallt I have one favorite dish with broccoli. I got the creamy broccoli soup recipe from my friend and started doing it regularly.
Couple of months back Sujatha from SpicesNTreat asked me for a guest post.
It took me a while (more than that;-)) to send her the recipe. With my LO running around my legs its difficult to capture pictures and draft. The moment I take the camera he comes behind me:-) Luckily Sujatha understood my position and did not mind the delay.

Avocado is yet another Fruit I got to know after coming to the US. I first rated it in a Mexican restaurant. I first thought they added so much butter into guacamole for that creaminess then I came to know it is avocado that does that magic.😂
Nowadays avocado has become one of my favorite fruit and after hearing their healthy benefits, I started buying them regularly. My frequent take with Avocado is Guacamole in Indian style. In our home, we love this as a side dish for chappati, put it in bread, and do Guacamole Sandwich, a few Mexican styles dishes like Burritos and Quesadilla.
Ever since I heard about Avocado Paratha from my friend, I wanted to try but somehow I kept postponing Finally I did it, and I regretted delaying it, the softest paratha I ever tasted. Nowadays once a week I am doing this.

Puli milagai thokku | Pacha Milagai Thokku | Green Chilli thokku | milaga thokku | milagai puli thokku | puli milaga pachadi | Pachai milagai oorugai | milagai urugai | South Indian pickle recipe is a traditional spicy tangy Thokku | pickle variety prepared with green chilli and tamarind. Pickle stays good for weeks and tastes yummy with curd rice and tiffin varities. https://youtu.be/akMz6lg6L4I
My Amma learned this green Chilli thokku recipe from her grandmother. Milagai thokku is a traditional pickle variety. Extremely spicy thokku variety tastes best with Curd rice/curd Semiya. Without much of the detailed steps, this hot spicy Pachai milagai thokku is super easy to prepare and can be kept for months when stored in an airtight container and refrigerated.
My mother generally sauté green Chilli and then grind so I follow the same. Sautéing green Chilli gives a nice flavor to the thokku also it helps for smooth green Chilli blend 
Grinding Chilli is optional. I personally like smooth Pachai milagai pachadi hence I always sauté and grind. If you like biting greeen Chilli you can skip grinding green chilli.
Sesame oil is recommended as it helps for the shelf life also gives a nice flavor to the Pachadi. You can also use peanut oil or any flavorless oil of your choice.
For the spicy green Chilli thokku it is recommended to add extra oil compared to tomato thokku/ Pulikaichal. If you are not planning to keep the thokku for a longer time and like eating spicy thokku you can reduce the oil quantity by half 
Jaggery balance the spicy milagai thokku flavor. You can reduce the amount according to your taste preference but I would recommend using at least little jaggery.
if you don’t have fenugreek powder you can fry roast fenugreek and powder; add it to the milagai pachadi. Alternatively, you can also use fenugreek while tempering.
