I have tried this green chutney with almonds some time back when i made Dahi kebabs for my cookery class in Singapore. This gives a  richness and volume to the chutney. The addition of chaat masala gives a nice flavor to the dip. A friend of mine shared this chutney recipe with me but she added Mayonnaise to this instead of almonds. I didn't want to add mayonnaise so added almonds. Even you can add 1 tablespoon thick yogurt to this green chutney. In that case you can skip the lemon juice. Stay tuned for interesting Paneer recipe coming up using this mint almond dip. Check out my

Nilgiri Kurma recipe| Side dish for chapathi

Nilgiri Kurma recipe, vegetables cooked in mint coriander based gravy a perfect side dish for  chapati and poori. I wanted to try a side dish for chapathi with the base we prepare for making vegetable biryani. I have tasted a similar version of korma in a restaurant buffet, and they named it as Nilgiri kurma. So i named it the same. Later when i googled, i came to know that there is a recipe for popular Nilgiri Chicken kurma. This Nilgiri Veg kurma turned out so delicious and it pairs very well with rotis and pooris. The addition of coconut milk in the end gives a nice taste to the kurma. The best crowd pleaser recipe, also goes well with Kuska biryani too. I made this Nilgiri kurma in my new Prestige Pressure pan(4 litres).

Heyy guys I hope all of you are having a BREW-tiful day! (Anyone got the pun?) I’m back with another post after nearly…2years!? Anyways after lots of convincing Amma has finally let me post something on her blog.  

I recently started drinking coffee (filter coffee only, I hate instant coffee) and I have fallen in love with it. I have also learnt how to make it on my own so I don’t have to pester Amma every time I want to have it. So when I make my own coffee I like to experiment with the coffee decoction and try out random combinations. This recipe was one of my experiments which turned out really well. I liked it a LATTE and I hope you do to!!

Narthangai Kuzhambu | Narthangai Pachadi recipe

This is widely available in South east asia and we South Indians make narthangai rice,Narthangai oorugai(both wet and dry version),Narthangai rasam and this pachadi too. Two weeks back when I went to Chennai for a family function,my mom packed few Narthangai for me. I made pachadi after coming back. The recipe is similar to the Orange peel pachadi recipe. 
During my childhood days i somehow don't like this pachadi. My mom,paati and my sister used to love this and me and appa never enjoy this. But somehow after marriage things changed and i started eating this pachadi. My mil's house they don't make this one but she makes the dry narthangai oorugai. I love the way she cuts the fruit using the aruvaalmanai,the traditional cutter. I used up the remaining citron for making panagam,by replacing lemon with narthangai.
