Kaara pori

After getting ready to office, got mail as holiday due to heavy rain in Chennai. So I am into my blog today with this simple kaara pori. I would like to enjoy rain with Kaara pori and tea from childhood. This is my Appa’s favorite. So my mom always prepare this. Pori is very light and so you would not feel heavy. You can have as much as you want. As garlic gives nice flavor to this, don’t miss to add.

Let’s see how to make this kara kara Kaara pori.

Vazhaithandu Kootu | Gravy with Plantain stem and moong dal

This delicious kootu with Vazhaithandu or Plantain stem is one of my favorite. Whenever I buy banana stem, I rather make poriyal than this kootu. But love this kootu a lot because of the excellent taste.  Learnt this kootu from my mom. Dal we use here is moong dal. The aroma and taste of moong dal with plantain stem is yummy. As we use moong dal, this is good for you tummy as well. This is a no grind and a healthy recipe which is very simple to cook.

Puli Aval | Poha with tamarind

Poha or Aval is is very easy to cook and can be done in any time. Today I felt like to have tamarind rice. But I wanted to try something different. Then I remembered my mom’s special poha with tamarind. This tangy aval is my favorite. But she rarely prepares poha when I was small. I was not much interested to eat poha. When I was in PG, poha was the only dish they prepare good. That is how started showing interest in cooking and eating poha.
