Ellu Milagai Podi – Sesame Seeds Gun Powder

September 5, 2014 Condiments, Podi/Powders, Side Dish for Idli/Dosa, Tirunelveli Style Recipes  3 comments

Ellu Milagai Podi or Sesame seeds gun powder is a great accompaniment with idli/dosa. I have already posted a Dosa Milagai Podi recipe earlier. This ellu milagai podi is a slight variation, with a nutty flavour and goodness of sesame seeds. Dosa Milagai Podi is Chotu’s favourite and as far as I have seen kids love it for idli/dosa. This Ellu Milagai Podi is a great method to sneak in some sesame seeds.

Brinjal Chutney – Kathirikkai Thuvayal

March 20, 2014 Aubergine/Brinjal, Chutney Recipes, Side Dish for Idli/Dosa  10 comments

Brinjal, Eggplant, Kathirikkai is my hubby’s hereditary enemy. Unfortunately it is a favourite for me & Chotu. So I end up making dishes with brinjal only mostly when hubby eats outside.
