Pattani Sundal one of most popular navarathri special dish. In temples they prepare this for prasadham, many of us go to temple only to get prasadham however they give only a spoonful of it. Even if it is just a spoon of prashadh we get unexplained happiness while having it, How many of you agree this? I can see many of your hands raising :) My mom prepare this for saraswathi pooja also sometimes as evening snack. Not sure how many of you have had Pattani Sundal along with Rice Puff, if not please try it, it tastes very good. There are many ways of preparing pattani sundal, and here come the recipe for my way of pattani sundal.
Today I am posting recipe for Kara Kuzhi Paniyaram, one of my favorite recipe.My Grandma prepares this dish for me whenever I go there for holidays.she also prepares coconut chutney and Tomato chutney to accompany with this.The best part is she grind these chutneys in Ammi kal (flat bed manual grinding stone), do I need to say how good it tastes!!! Feeling like going to my grandma's home :(

I prepared this dish as snack for rainy evening. Just imagine rainy evening, with spicy paniyaram along with hot tea..Feels great right ?? Ok here comes the recipe for Kara Paniyaram.
Chilly Gobi, Gobi
Manchurian, baby corn recipes, mushroom recipes are the only hope for
vegetarian people in restaurants.If vegetarians go to restaurants as a
gang along with non-vegetarians, all veg starters be shared with non-veg
people, but non-veg dishes are only for non-veg people, ohhh soo sad
vegetarians.
Chilly gobi also called as Gobi 65 is the first part
of Gobi manchurian, today I am going to share a recipe for Chilli
Gobi/Gobi 65 and it is a very good appetizer. I prepared this to
accompany with lemon rice.
Carrot Halwa is a traditional Punjabi dish. I don't know why but my mom never made this is in home, so i tasted this in buffets along with Ice cream and it tastes awesome. I liked it very much but I never thought of preparing it in home. Here in Sweden they are selling large amount of root vegetables ( like beet root, potato, carrots, turnip) and frequently they are giving offers on these vegetables but a single pack contains 2 Kg to 5 Kg of vegetables not less than that. Now you can guess why most of my posted recipes are related to carrot :). Yes I always have more than a Kg of carrots in my kitchen, I thought of finishing it soon and so comes the delicious recipe Carrot Halwa, I prepared this for the first time along with my neighbors and we had it hot hot during day time chit chat. ( I know it is very hot summer in India, but here in Sweden it is just a 3 degree) Yeah of course DH surprised to see a new recipe when he is back from office ;)
Here comes the recipe,
Today I am sharing a recipe which can be prepared with fresh Idli or left over Idli. Usually we prepare Idli Uppma with left over idli's, so for a change I tried this recipe and it came out very well. Kara Podi Idli can be prepared with very limited Ingredients. Best snack for evening hunger I hope. Mouthwatering when I think of picking each Idli with fork & munching it accompanying with hot tea or coffee while watching TV. Try it in your kitchen and provide me a feedback :)
Sweets/Desserts who says NO to this? It plays a vital role in Indian Cuisine. There are many sweet dishes available in Indian Cuisine. One among those is Halwa, this can be prepared with fruits, vegetables , Corn flour, Maida, Wheat flour and also with Bread. I already tried preparing this dish with some fruits and vegetables.
One of my neighbor / friend prepared and offered Bread Halwa few days ago, that is the first time I had Bread Halwa and I liked it very much. I thought of giving it a try, my friend prepared it with maida bread but only wheat bread was available in my kitchen so I tried with that, and it came out very well with different taste. Sri returned back from office and very much surprised to see a new recipe :)
