Coming to the recipe is a thokku/dip made with the key ingredient onion,tomato.Garlic is added to enhance the flavors which brings out a very nice taste also.
This delicious dip/thokku goes very well with idly,dosa,roti and rice even can be used as a spread for sandwich.This thokku is perfect for travel and can be stored for 3-4 days without refrigeration and 10 days in the refrigerator.Off to the recipe...................................

Add the red chilly powder and salt,cook it covered for 2-3 minutes.At this stage the thokku will be slightly watery.Reduce the flame and let it cook for another couple of minutes or till the oil separates.Put off the fire.

  • The amount of chilly powder given is for milder spicy,if you want alter it according to your preference.
  • The garlic here I used is fat clove,if its small clove use 15-20 cloves.
  • The amount of oil is very important to maintain the shelf life of the thokku,so be generous in the amount of oil.

Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
