Being born and brought up in Madurai, i have tasted this jil jil jigarthanda in a famous shop in Vilkuthoon area. After started living in Chennai, when Madurai Murugan idli kadai was opened in Chennai, tasted there few times. But after moving to Singapore, never had a chance to taste the authentic delicious Madurai famous Jil jil jigarthanda. Though we get in Murugan idli kadai Singapore, the taste still can not match the original one. Even the recipe i have given here is not authentic, but it tasted almost closer to the one we get in Madurai. For a long time i wanted to post this recipe of jigarthanda but i never happened to find Badam pisin here. Finally saw that in Sri Murugan stores Singapore.

Vendakkai Sambar recipe,Ladies finger sambar

Vendakkai sambar, ladies finger sambar recipe, with fresh ground sambar masala. We make Sambar with onion, drumstick, capsicum, yellow pumpkin, brinjal and other veggies. But Vendakkai Sambar is the family's favorite and Suresh loves it the most. Also we use home made sambar powder for making sambar, even it is arachuvitta sambar, we use sambar podi. But i have seen many of my relatives make arachivitta sambar without using sambar podi. I wanted to give this a try for a long time and my co sister's mom clarified my silly doubts and this sambar is a super hit at my place. This recipe is a keeper, you can make this for festivals as it is a no onion no garlic recipe and also doesn't use any mill ground  sambar powder. I was totally hooked by the aroma of the Vendakkai sambar.
Varuthuaracha sambar and udipi sambar  also uses only fresh masala but the coconut is dominant in the sambar masala for one and for the other we add sesame seeds. The taste is completely different for both the sambar.  Even the quantity of one ingredient changes the taste of the entire recipe.

Mango dhokla recipe, mango recipes

Mango dhokla recipe, gujarati khaman dhokla made using fresh mango puree. These mango dhoklas tasted so yummy. When i saw mango dhokla in Instagram, i was too fascinated by it as i am a big fan of both mango and dhokla.  At the same time i was bit skeptical as how it would taste. So it tried in very minimum quantity as i don't want to waste my precious organic Mangoes. But it turned out too good and i just kept 2 pieces for the family to try it out. I want to make this again for us during this weekend. I couldn't stay away from gobbling it. It didn't give any odd sweet taste. These dhoklas were too mango flavourful and at the same time gave the taste of dhoklas too. I adapted the recipe of Gujarati Khaman dhokla from Tarla dalal's space and just replaced water with mango puree. I can say this Mango Dhokla is a must try recipe for this mango season.
