MOONG DAL PUTTU |SAVORY VERSION | EASY BREAKFAST RECIPES

  I am still getting back to the routine after a hectic and fun filled India trip. I thought i will take my camera from Monday but i can't stay away from that. While returning back from India, in the  flight, we are served with Moong dal puttu in the flight. It was a small portion but tasted very well. Me and Suresh happily relished the puttu and recalled all the wonderful moments about the trip. From yesterday i was thinking i should make this moong dal puttu at home. Finally i made this for breakfast and we both enjoyed this moong dal puttu again. It turned out almost the same which we had in the flight.

MANGO THOKKU | MANGA THOKKU RECIPE

Mango thokku or manga thokku is one of my most favorite pickle. A best accompaniment for sambar rice, upmas, parathas and curd rice. My mom makes this very well and i still remember the days when she used to make mango thokku in bulk and store for 4-5 months. I made this thokku and clicked long back but it was lying in the draft for a long time. We are just back from a fantastic and fun filled India trip. Will get back to routine in a  day or two. Let me first finish off posting the recipes lying in my draft and will start with the new one from the next week.

Whenever i made dal at home, though everyone say it is good, i somehow feel it is not like the one we have in restaurants. Since i am not satisfactory, i haven't posted the dal tadka recipe so far.
