Dear C,

I made Tomato Rasam and Paruppu thogayal last evening. Tomato rasam was toooooooooo tasty.
Paruppu thogayal was tasty but it was not white in colour, may be I roasted the paruppu little more?? Will take care of it next time.

Today I made Lapsi Kozhukattai and Gotsu for breakfast, needless to say, it was just awesome. Its long time since I made kozhukattai, so we both enjoyed it. Lunch is coconut rice with appalam. Adding sugar to the coconut rice makes soooooooooo much difference in the taste.

My inlaws are coming back on Sunday, so i am planning for some snack and sweet this weekend. Will let you know how it turns out

 

Chithra Mam,

What I have done is wrong. Kindly excuse me. Really Sorry for not consulting you. I've learnt a lesson.

 

Hi Chiths

Your site is always a treasure trove because everytime i open it i always find sumthing new....Yesterday made Red gravy and have stocked it and made today Channa masala with it...Awesome is not the word for it...Aarushi school la everybody was waiting to have one channa atleast....When asked her how it was she said amma see the tiffin box nakki vazhichachu ma....i think that should be enough to prove how nice the dish was....Thanks for the gravy idea and yet to try the white gravy and yellow gravy.....

Dear Chithra
I promptly made the Jain Tomato Gravy. I added Channa to it. Wow!! Awesome taste and lovely colour. I cant thank you enough , this has made my life easier. Is there any other veg that will go well with this gravy?
Also made Quinoa puli upma. This is a keeper for sure. Lip smacking . Thanks a ton.

Love
Shobana

 

Dear Chithramma,
Today for breakfast made Ven Pongal & Onion Puli Gotsu:thumbsup. The pongal was great & it stayed soft even till the evening , DD had it in the evening & liked the combo. But the best dish of the day is ' Curry leaves Thokku'.That was a cracker dish! It tastes so many times better than curry leaf thogayal & podi. I made with 1 cup leaves & it is over.Suda suda saadam , gingelly oil, thokku & MW elai vadaam- dinner was superb, I overate.Thank you especially for that thokku
Love,
Damini.

 

Dear Chithra Mami,

Dinner tonight was Moongdal Rasam and Pushanikkai kootu. Awesome Rasam!!!! What a flavor..YUM!!!. When I read your recipe...I expected it to taste dal-like. And I have added moong dal to rasam before and was never crazy about the flavor but your method is too good!! Loved the ginger and pepper/Jeera flavor. Such a simple and quick recipe. I probably am going to take this as a soup to my friends at work. So much different than my rasam or any moong dal dals I've ever made. I am never going back to my "method" .

But the highlight tonight was the instant thayir vadai!!! Truly genius! such soft spongy vadais..yumm!! I have to admit I was skeptical because I had store bought moong dal powder and urad dal powder. But they ended up tasting like the real deal. I am Ingi priyai..so..all the more delicious. I have to tell you my dinner tonight was done in 45 mins..from start to finish. Thanks to you!!!

Love,
Sakshi..
