Peerkangai Masiyal/Ridge gourd Masiyal


We make mostly,either kootu or sambar with Peerkangai aka ridge gourd/Chinese okra.But this masiyal was a new to me when saw it in a regional magazine and its a Kongunadu special.
One of my friend also suggested and mostly its made with dhal.But this recipe is quite different and no dhal is used,even no need of any spice powders.But here I used little red chilly powder,as I was not sure about the spiciness of the green chilly.I made this masiyal and paired up with white rice,raw banana fry for a comforting meal.The original recipe calls for shallots and tried withboth shallots and onion but tastes better with shallots.Off to 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
