Keerai poriyal is a quick and tasty dry side dish that can be prepared within 10 minutes. Stir fry spinach goes well as a side for Rice | roti. Coconut oil and coconut gives a nice flavor to this Keerai thoran. Refer notes to make a perfect green color spinach poriyal. Before getting into the recipe I have to tell you that I am not sure about the type of Keerai I used. Here all I see on the label is spinach. I am sure the recipe will work for any type of keerai. Since Spinach is very healthy I buy it almost every week or at least once in two weeks. Whenever I buy Keerai from Costco because of the big box  I split it into 2 -3  days of cooking. ...

Aloo Gobi Fry | Potato Cauliflower curry

By 3 Comments

Dhaba style Aloo Gobi fry | Potato cauliflower curry | resturant style Aloo gobhi curry | poriyal step-by-step pictures and video recipe. Check out the Potato Cauliflower curry video and If you like the video pls SUBSCRIBE to my channel

Aloo Gobi is a delicious dry Curry that can be prepared within 10 minutes. Potato cauliflower curry tastes good with rice and roti.

Chopping cauliflower 

I would recommend chopping them into small florets. Big ones might take longer time to cook. Too small ones might not retain the shape.

Should I parboil cauliflower? 

No, don't cook cauliflower in water. The curry turns flavorful only when cauliflower gets cooked in oil.

Chopping potatoes

I prefer wedges style cutting as it gets cooked faster.

Should I drizzle water for cooking cauliflower? 

I covered and cooked. The steam and moisture in the cauliflower were enough. If required sprinkle water

Masala for curry

You can use any masala of your choice. I kept it simple.

 

Ingredients

2 Potatoes, wedges

1 Cauliflower small, cut florets

1 tablespoon Garlic

Kaikuthal Arisi Idli | Dosai | Paniyaram

By Leave a Comment

KaiKuthal Arisi Idli | Dosai is a healthy South Indian breakfast prepared with Indian Kai kuthal Arisi. Super soft and fluffy KaiKuthal Arisi Idli is great for dinner too. Healthy South Indian tiffin varieties like Idli Dosai and Paniyaram can be prepared with the same batter.

Today we had Karadaiyan Nombu at home and I made Uppu and Vella Adai. Morning made a batch for Pooja and evening I made one more batch for snacks. My son woke up from his nap and asked if I am making doughnuts? I was trying to explain to him that it is Adai, but finally, he convinced me and we both ended up making small jaggery doughnuts🤣 Kids have their own imagination.

Coming back to my kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe. Last summer I had some recipes in the draft and this is one among them. Today I made Kai kuthal Arisi Dosai for breakfast that’s when I realized I haven’t posted kaikuthal Arisi Idli recipe in my blog.

By

Instant Mango Shrikand is a quick dessert prepared with mangoes and sour cream. Traditional shrikand is prepared with hung curd. Tasty dessert can be prepared within 5 minutes. No whisking - with just a mixie blender, this is one of simplest dessert with mangoes.

February is almost over but I still have two more dessert recipes pending to post. When I started “Sweet February” I wanted to post Mango Shrikand initially, but then I thought February is too early for a mango recipe so I decided to postpone this post for coming summer. Off-late I started seeing mangoes in shops, yes may be it is time for a mango pudding😋

You must have known my addiction for mangoes based on the mango-based recipes I have posted in TMF. This Aamrakhand is my son’s recent favorite. I should say a bakery near home made him addicted for this dessert.

Last summer when my parents came, and Amma experimented with some sweets with Almond flour. Ever since my childhood days, I am a big fan of Laddu. Rava Laddu was one of my all-time favorite sweets. Almonds are good for health so we got all excited while experimenting recipes. I know if it is taken with sugar, some of us won’t put it in the healthy category. Once in a while sweets are ok right☺️

When I was a child my favorite summer drinks were mtr and poonam Badam drink. Both differ slightly in taste and also texture. I prefer chopped almonds that I get to bite while drinking the milk, but my sister prefers the other. Chennai's summer days outing never ended without Badam milk.

Here is one with a healthy almond meal.😋

This Badam Burfi is my MIL recipe. I am a big fan of her Maida Burfi. Every time she visits us her Maida burfi, Sweet kozhukattai, and Sweet poli happen frequently. One day seeing the Almond meal in the pantry she wanted to try a Burfi with it. I am so glad that happened, nowadays this Burfi overtakes maida Burfi. Ever since she started preparing this sweet, this burfi is one of our family's favorite sweets. Amma always cuts it in the shape of a diamond, my son just goes behind her and keeps asking for diamond sweet.
