The next day, I asked her the recipe and tried it on my own and this came out very awesome....

Navadhanya Sundal generally my mom makes towards the end of navaratri with all the leftover legumes at home. But she never used any spice mix for the sundal. I kept in mind my udipi sambar recipe and used most of the things from that masala. Actually, I clicked it last Friday and planned to post it today. As I know my weekend will be too busy with navaratri Golu visits, I drafted the post too....

Gooseberry is rich in Vitamin C and it helps to absorption of Iron into the body. Gooseberry rasam is a immunity booster. You can mix with rice or have this as a soup too. We do not add Tamarind to this Gooseberry rasam....

Payathangai | Long beans | Karamani is similar to beans. We usually make a simple stir fry or sometimes make paruppu usili too. This one is a very simple recipe, without any onion and garlic.

I want to make the No onion no garlic version of Payathangai thoran....
If you are looking for an easy weeknight dinner or even a simple lunch on lazy days, then this penne arrabbiata is a perfect recipe. Whenever we go to pasta mania here in Singapore, as we are vegetarians we have very fewer options and since we don’t prefer any cheesy or creamy pasta we always end up ordering this penne arrabbiata. The best thing is my kids like this very much and so I have wanted to attempt this at home and it turned out well....

Poached Chicken I feel like poached chicken is a life skill that everyone should know. But depending how it’s executed, on the one hand it can be like chewing on chipboard: dismally dry, impossible to swallow and completely flavourless. On the other hand – the successful hand – it’s unbelievably succulent, with chicken flavour you never dreamt was possible, and so tender and juicy you can literally SEE the chicken juices sparkling on the surface of every slice....
The base is made of white potatoes (you can use sweet potatoes if you want), cashew milk, nutritional yeast and spices. That’s what makes up the “cheese” sauce. Add some salsa to the cheese sauce and you’ve got yourself a bowl of spicy queso! I’m thankful that I’m not big into football. It seems like a stressful sport to watch. If I had to declare my allegiance to a football team, it’d probably be to the Redskins since I grew up in the northern Virginia/DC area....
