Sakkarai Pongal / Sweet Pongal is an authentic sweet recipe that is made for different festivals to offer as prasadham. As it is Aadi month thought of posting this easy Sakkarai Pongal recipe. Traditionally it is made in a pot for Pongal festival, but here I have used the pressure cooker method for convenience. The best combo for Sakkarai Pongal is Medhu Vadai.

Vazhakkai Chips – Raw Banana Chips
April 3, 2016

Vazhakkai Chips is an easy snack to make at home. I had been wanting to make Vazhakkai Chips since a long time. Unfortunately, the raw banana that we get here has a slight fruity flavour, may be because of the transportation time. But this time, it was really good so immediately made a batch of chips and it really vanished in no time. Not much effort is needed in making this, u just need to peel, slice, fry and season the Vazhakki Chips with salt and chilli powder.

Rasam is always a breeze to make. This Tomato Rasam is no exception to it. The quickest and the most favourite lunch menu for us would be rasam and potato fry. I normally do not store rasam powder as we prefer to have rasam with freshly ground powder. The freshly ground powder does add magic to the rasam. I just make sure to have some minor changes in my rasam powder every time I make it. This Tomato Rasam is also an easy, flavourful and quick rasam.

After all the festive food, we really wanted a simple and spicy meal. This Puli Milagai is one dish which is spicy, tangy and mildly sweet. It is easy to make and goes well with dal rice/paruppu sadham and even idli/dosa. We usually prefer the consistency to be a bit runny, U can make it thicker too. I served with rice, paruppu and Vazhakkai Puttu.

With freshly ground powder this is a flavourful and refreshing rasam. Mostly when I make rasam, the side dish would be potato fry!! It was not different this time too.

Vazhakkai Putti or Vazhakkai Podimas how ever u call it is a simple and easy stir fry. I usually make a varuval or poriyal with raw banana, for a change I made this Vazhakkai Puttu. We loved this too. This puttu is the most common way to make raw banana. It pairs very well with rice, rasam or sambar.

Mango Thokku – Just the name can make me drool!! No restaurant food can match a combo of curd rice and homemade mango pickle.. Do u agree? I have already posted a mango pickle recipe earlier. This is a slight variation to it. Without any preservative this homemade mango thokku tastes better than the store bought pickles. Goes well with anything and everything from bread to rice. Its easy to make too with no fancy ingredients..

Rasam is an all time comfort food. Its the quickest South Indian lunch menu with a simple curry. This lemon rasam is a good alternative to the normal tomato rasam. There is no tomato or tamarind in this rasam. Lemon is the hero of this recipe!! It gives a very refreshing flavour along the freshly ground rasam powder..
