Spring Onion Sabji – Hari Pyaaz Sabzi

June 25, 2018 Dry Sabji  No comments

Spring Onion is a veggie which many of u might use just to garnish in salads or soups. This Spring Onion Sabji is a simple yet yummy side dish to go with chapathi or even rice. This is Chotu’s favourite. Chopping spring onion might take some time but it is not a difficult task. It will reduce in amount once it gets cooked so u might have to watch out the amount of spring onion u need for your family. Trust me, this sabji is so unique and flavourful.

Veg Kurma – Mixed Vegetable Kurma

June 4, 2017 Dals/Gravies, Mixed Veg  13 comments

Veg Kurma / Mixed Vegetable Kurma is a perfect side dish for chapathi/poori. This combo is most popularly served in restaurants. Its a good blend of vegetables in a coconut based gravy. This appears in my kitchen quite rarely as most of the time I end up making Paneer Butter Masala, Methi Matar Malai etc.. I usually make this Veg Kurma when I have left over vegetables, in the sense very little of each veggie that is not enough to make a side dish of its own.. 🙂 Post updated with video on 04/06/17

Lauki Chana Dal – Bottle Gourd Chana Dal

November 30, 2016 Dals/Gravies  2 comments

Lauki Chana Dal is nothing but bottle gourd (sorakkai) cooked along with chana dal in a onion-tomato based gravy. Its a very simple and healthy gravy. Bottle gourd has a lot of health benefits, especially for lactating mothers. This gravy is quite a different way to use bottle gourd, rather than making the usual kootu. As u know I am always in the look for side dishes to go with roti/phulka, this is a perfect and complete meal altogether with roti.

Brinjal is not liked by all, but it is one among chotu’s favorites.Hubby who hates brinjal, likes to eat it in this form.. It goes very well with rice or chapathi.

Whenever I make this sabji, we dont need a kuzhambu as this serves as a 2 in 1 recipe. I usually make it in quite a large batch and store it as a thooku for a week in the refrigerator!!
