Senai Karamani Kulambhu/Yam and Black eyed Peas in Tamarind Sauce



For this month cook book challenge,I tried a recipe from a magazine print out.This print out was taken in 2004 and I found out while cleaning the clutters.
Coming to the recipe its a mix of both karakulambhu and masala kulambhu with slight tangy taste.We normally use the yam(senai) for fry but never tried in kulambhu varieties.For the first time I tried and it came out super yummy.Here I used the frozen pieces,if you are using fresh one,chop and cook it separately in tamarind water.Off 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............                                                                                          ...
