Vatha Kulambhu/Vatral Kulambhu



This post has been lying in my draft since 7 months,finally I posted it today.Usually this kulambhu is made with sun dried berries such as black night shade and turkey berry or veggies which is called as vatral.This kulambhu is a one such authentic recipe tastes very well with piping hot rice along with some kootu and pappads.

This is my mom's recipe and she always adds little coconut along with the spices while grinding for the kulambhu to get an extra taste and it can be made with out coconut also.

Today's recipe is with the black night shade(manathathakkali vatral) and doesn't need onion and garlic also,here goes the recipe..............

Sweet Adai /Inippu Adai

Today is the final day for the Cooking Carnival in mega Blogging Marathon edition ans I like to end the series with a sweet note. Coming to the recipe its a sweet adai which is often made in our households for quick neivedhyam for offering to god..So many variations can be made using wheat flour,maida,ragi flour and sometimes with semolina. Today's version I used both wheat and all purpose flour along with rice flour.Since sweetener is used to make the batter this adai needs to be cooked in a medium flame,otherwise the color will turn dark.Here I used jaggery,even palm sugar and brown sugar can also be used.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Sweet Adai/Inippu Adai                                                                         Basic Information    Pre
