Broccoli Poriyal


Today's recipe for the Cook Book Challenge,I am sharing you a simple and healthy stir fry/poriyal with broccoli.
This recipe I noted down from my sister's recipe collections and tried it.This poriyal goes very well with rice and some spicy kulambhu such as milagu kulambhu or poondu kulambhu.But I personally prefer to mix it with rice along a dash of ghee.Either way it tastes good,lets move on to the recipe................................

      Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

      For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...
