    @deepslikes thanks for saying that it was not ocd. and i have somebody at home who will never trust anyone's cleaning his lunch plate. he has to clean and wipe it all the time. and lol on the tava,

    @latharam09 those are pooja items only. my neivedyams and milk and other things for god. i am all the time thinking how and what to buy for god that will not be overboard yet make me happy. there is something about decorating and being happy, and my family indulges me, but dh does draw the line frequently. a freshly mopped floor (with a few drops of lemon oil and natural neem concentrate), a clean sink, a clutterfree desk top, a clean bathroom makes me feel good, and i do clean one day and take rest for 2 days is another story.

    @sumanrathi, simple trick to clean the non-stick tava without spoiling it. when hot take a tissue or your kitchen cloth and wipe away all the residue that stickes to it. (switch off the stove please), now let it cool and then wash. you will note no grease is there.i don't use oil for dosas.i just swipe a little with piece of onion or potato.

    sorry could not post yesterday. i took pictures but quality was bad, and i had some meetings outside so will post the same a day late in a minute.. you can download a daily tamil calendar in the apps section too.

    red rice -sigappu rice is also a type of kavuni arisi used for puttu.
    brown rice -(ponni/kichli) kaikutthal arisi.
    basmathi too you get brown rice.
    you get a type of red almost black arisi also called kavunni arisi
