Ridiculously simple to make, but elegant, refreshing, and good!
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!
Eggless Chocolate Mousse
Mousse means foam in French. Going by that definition, this dessert should be light as foam. I scourged the internet for a light eggless version to make for our anniversary, and ended up grabbing bits and pieces from a few sites, see Recipe notes for links. This is Raj’s favorite dessert. I made 4 glasses, and he polished off 2 of them as soon as they were just about set. I think he liked it!
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!
