Chicken Kurma / Kozhi Vellai Kurma

Hi friends ,

Today I come with a chicken recipe .This is one of the wonderful recipe I learnt from my mom.I am a big fan of this kurma from my childhood.Whenever my mom plan to do briyani for lunch she will prepare this kurma in large quantity for breakfast .We have it with soft idlis.Believe me this a delicious side for hot idlis.A person who normally has 4-5 will have nearly double the quantity with this yummy side .And we will have the rest of the  kurma with  briyani  for lunch.This is a good accomplishment with Briyani.Generally my mom prepares this kurma with mutton.But I don’t find soft mutton in my place so I used chicken.It tasted fabulous and my hubby loved it. Hope you too will love…Have a try and let me know your views…

 

 

Pudalangai Kootu / SnakeGourd Kootu

Today’s recipe is a easy comforting dish ,Snake gourd Kootu .Kootu is the combination of  veggies and lentils and one of the famous side dish in southern part of India.This is my favourite dish.Its so good for digestion and a very healthy side dish.I find it perfect with poondu puli kulambu and can be had with curd rice / rotis / even plain rice.The ingredients and the procedure is so simple and can be made in no time.My mom will prepare this kootu using moong dal too.If you like then add moong dal instead channa.Lets see the preparation…

 

Paneer Curry / Indian Cottage Cheese Gravy

This is one of my all time favourite curry.Any recipe that includes paneer makes that dish awesome.One cool thing about paneer is it nicely blends with any type of masala and gives a wonderful taste.I like to add kasoori methi powder in all my paneer dishes as it gives a fantastic aroma.Usually children love paneer but my kid hate it although I will make it twice a month as my hubby and me love it.Its a good dish to be made at parties  or any festive occassions.Try this curry ….yoy’ll love it for sure….

Ven Pongal / Ghee Pongal

Ven Pongal is a popular South indian breakfast item.This is so simple and is very easy to prepare .This is one of the dish that catches its place in the banana leaf in almost all the marriges in south.The rice and moong dal combined with ghee gives a wonderful taste.The best side dish for this is the coconut chutney and sambar.And  normally in hotels we see this  accompanied with a vada.My hubby loves it with chutney and I like sambar so I usually prepare both the items.For the traditional pongal we use raw rice but however normal rice can also be used for this recipe.Lets see the preparation…



 

Vendakkai / Okra Thayir Pachadi

A simple thayir pachadi with okra is  our menu today.I prefer ladies finger for pachadi but red pumpkin , ridge gourd can also be made as a thayir pachadi.This is a easy dish but need some patience because of the sliminess of this veggie. This is a perfect match with puli kulambu / tamarind based spicy gravy.And its so healthy too.You all know that ladies finger is so good for your memory power ,especially for kids.I  have eaten raw ladies finger when i was a kid but not now.This is my sons favourite veg.But he likes okra sambar the most. I hope you will definitely love it…Lets see the preparation…
