Chilli Parotta – Chilli Kothu Parotta

March 1, 2014 Bachelor Friendly RecipesBreakfast/Dinner  6 comments

Chilli Parotta is a popular fast food/street food in TamilNadu. I would say the road side shops serve tastier Chilli Parotta than the restaurants. They call it Kothu Parotta.

U can add or have some Veg Kurma along with it too.

Potato Broad-Beans Fry – Potato Recipes

February 27, 2014 BeansDry SabjiNO Onion NO GarlicPotato Recipes  6 comments

This Potato Broad-Beans fry is a simple stir fry. This is my favourite since childhood. We call this Aloo-Avarakkai. I dont know from where we derived this name, as Aloo is in hindi & Avarakkai is in tamil. Funny na?? But we call it that way 🙂 It goes well with rice (rasam, sambar, curd) & chapathi or even bread. I purposely prepare a little extra & use the left over sabji to make a grilled sandwich. Yumm!! Do check my entire Potato Recipes collection HERE.

Arachuvitta Vathakuzhambu – Vathakuzhambu

February 20, 2014 Kuzhambu Varieties  4 comments

Vathakuzhambu is our family favourite. This arachuvitta vathakuzhambu is a very easy, flavourful kuzhambu with freshly ground spices and the goodness of manathakkali vathal (black nightshade/wonder berry). Its divine when served with hot steamed rice along with a dollop of gingely oil. The best combo would be with curd rice 🙂 My personal favourite is this Mochai Kuzhambu.
