A different variety of rasam, a bit heavier than the light recipe because of the addition of coconut. Freshly ground spices add amazing flavor to this wonderful rasam that is popular in the south. Enjoy with hot rice, or as a soup!
Fried Potato/Potato Fry
This simple potato curry would figure at the top of any Tamilian’s favorite things to eat! Simple, versatile soul food. Indulging once in a while is good!
More Kozhambu (Buttermilk gravy)
More Kuzhambu/kozhambu is a simple gravy dish popular in South India with sour yogurt/buttermilk as the base, and is a staple in most Tambrahm festive/wedding lunches. It goes great with hot rice, and a side of potato fry!
Adai (Spiced Rice And Lentil Crepes)
Adai is a bit difficult to describe – it’s like dosai, but totally different in its composition (more hearty with the dals), taste (has some spice and heat to it) and presentation (not as thin). Maybe a rustic cousin of dosai? A high protein, wholesome and complete meal that doesn’t take hours of prep, no fermentation required, and is almost instant except for the soaking time of 2 hours required for the rice and the dals. I like to soak them at lunch, and it takes less than 30 minutes to grind, add the vegetables, and to have dinner on the table!
Peanut Podi (Peanut Powder)
This is a quick, healthy powder (podi) that makes a great side for idli, dosa, methi paratha, and to mix with rice.
