Hey Hi! Love your site... I am Jeeva's office colleague Vasu's wife Priya! Jeeva was there with us for my daughter's bday last year. I have been lurking in the site but never had time to stop by to appreciate your work! You are doing an AWESOME job!!! Go Mangala Go!! Wud try your recipes and then stop by to tell you how it came out... I am going to try the Kathirikkai chutney today for Pongal tonight.. Hope this would go well with Pongal too!!

Hi Priya!
Thank you so much for your comments :). Sure please try. But I have Pongal only with sambar or coconut chutney. So, I'll wait to hear how the combination worked out.
Priya I just hopped into your site. Will check out few articles today..

Hi Mangala!! It did turn out to be a good combination. I added tamarind paste and some sambhar podi at the end for the spice... Everyone liked it!! The leftover tasted great today morning with our Dosa breakfast! :)

Thank you Priya :)

hae... Congratz!

You have marched for 'DECADE' on your recipe Index ! way to girli.. :)

:) thank you Lakshu. You're tracking it very closely like me :)

thts simple!

Try :
Add lil of tamarind juice with just boiled- smashed kathirikai's (only kathirikai's). Follow the same steps for 'tempering' with added tomatoes.. this we call it 'kossu malli' @chetinad side :)

more than the chutni... i loved the appearence of idly... :P

Exactly Lakshu. Mom always takes pride about her MIL, my grandma. She said my grandma used to add a little of the tamarind extract to this. Write me more about whatever tips you know. It's helping me. Thanks lady!
