vazhathandu - in stelton road, there is a grocery store, now run by sri lankans, she brings in fresh vazhai ezhai, thandu( on request) and also all flowers..

I forgot the store.. its called south indian specalities if I remember correctly.. she used to be next to shoprite in oak tree road, then she moved to the street next to swagat complex.. she used to bring all these from india as well. u will get all authentic south indian stuff there.. That was my "the" place.. till she closed months back.. not sure if shes still open.. check it out.

karunai kizhangu - u get it in the big subzi mandi opposite to sukadia.. always..

mosambi juice - next to binnys in oak tree, there is this galaxy place.. lots of food stalls - food at cheap rate.. there is a juice stall too.. u get different type of juice.. sugarcane juice la irunthu naraiya variety irukku.. try pannunga..

Hi Pixelarch,

The Thai shop lady told me they were called mini aubergines. This is the link on wikipedia Solanum torvum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Here is another site with pictures Mini aubergine Stock Photos / Pictures / Photography / Royalty Free Images at Inmagine. checked both and concluded they were indeed sundakkai:thumbsup. we get only fresh sundakkai. vathals i always buy from india.

Dear Chithra Ma'am,

Best Wishes to the newly married couple! Thanks for keeping us updated with the latest in wedding trends back home.

Made the foll. last week..
Cold Cucumber Soup, Creamy Carrot Soup & Masoor Dhal Soup- Relished each one of them, have become family favorites & will be repeated often.

Strawberry Smoothy, Mango Ginger Smoothy- I used to make smoothies before with just milk, but following your recipe this time, saw that the addition of yogurt took the taste to another level. It was delicious!!

Hyderabadi Khichdi- Made Tomato Gojju as side dish, was skeptical of the combo, but it turned out great. Jiffy & nutritious...comfort food at it's best. Will be a keeper.

Thanks a ton.
Regards,
Ragini

dear chitra mami

these days it is getting very busy with a lot of planning about cooking stuff .. hav to plan for feeding 3 men and 2 boys . today evening dinner was karaicha dosai (with a whole bunch of flours - whatever i could lay my hand on) with onion tomato chutney. dosai itself is a lot of work for mass feeding and karaicha dosai takes even more time bcoz we got to be standing at the aduppu for the whole time. but of course at the end, it tasted very good and every one enjoyed it.

tomorrow for lunch i have made murungakai sambar with beans curry.
