BREAD PIZZA RECIPE

Pizza on tawa with bread

         I always love to eat to pizza , but now a days since i am so conscious about my diet i am avoiding pizza. Another thing is we don’t get more choice for vegetarians  here in pizza hut also. I always love pizza with paneer toppings.  Since i don’t have an oven, i wanted to try the pizza on tawa with bread .
     I just made 3 slices and eat that for my lunch. I didn’t add more cheese as we add for pizza. Check out my Microwave bread pizza and tortilla pizza recipe too.

KACHORI RECIPE , A POPULAR STREET FOOD

KACHORIS STUFFED WITH MOTH DAL.

  Two years back when my neighbour called us for dinner, she made these kachoris and that was extremely awesome. After that i tried that once, but that doesn't turn out so well and i couldn’t get the texture  and crispiness. Then after 2 years i tried out this  and that turned out real yum and so crispy.
  I used MOTH DAL for stuffing . You can also make Kachori with moong dal stuffing and peas kachori. 
The key for this recipe is making the stuffing very dry and frying the kachoris in the oil.

KARADAIYAN NOMBU ADAI | SWEET AND SAVOURY VERSION.

Karadaiyan Nombu (காரடையான் நோம்பு) is one of the major festivals celebrated among the Tamil Brahmin community usually in the month of March. It is celebrated at the moment when Tamil month Maasi  ends and month Panguni starts. Karadai is a special type of offering made on this day which is had after the Nombu which signifies fasting or Vratham. To know more about this festival and the rituals followed therein, do check out my sister’s post on Karadaiyan Nombu. Married women fast for the longevity of their husbands and break the fast by tying the yellow thread (manjal charade) around their neck and eating the sweet and salted Karadaiyan Nombu adais which have been offered to God. I usually make the Nombu adais using the homemade rice flour, however, to save time these adais can be made using store bought rice flour or idiyappam flour. Let us now proceed to the recipes of both the versions.

KEERAI MASIYAL and KEERAI PORIYAL

  TWO DIFFERENT VERSION OF MAKING SPINACH

       This time i am going to share two ways of making keerai,(spinach/greens) one is a semi gravy method and the another is a dry curry one.Last week when a bought 3 bunches of keerai from the Indian shop near my place, i wanted to cook all of them as it was so fresh.
    I bought the mullai keerai .(the one with the stem). For those in Singapore, we get Round spinach in fair price here, you can use that for this keerai masiyal.  My mom makes this masiyal in a traditional stone pot(Kal chatti).
