Coming to day 2 of Blogging Marathon#61 under the theme Meal Ideas is a kulambhu recipe with shallots and garlic. Kara kulambhu can be made in so many ways,but this one is with no veggies.Using shallots and garlic makes this kulmabhu finger licking.Sambar powder gives an added flavor to this kulambhu.This recipe I noted down from my aunt's family cook and wanted try since long.Finally I made it for this theme and in the original recipe no tomato is used,but I used a small tomato. As we prefer simple and comforting meals I paired up the kulambhu with rice,vendaikkai(okra ) poriyal and keerai(spinach) masiyal,appalam along with tomato rasam.It was so filling and a comforting lunch for a rainy afternoon.Off to the recipe...                                                                                                                                                                                     Vellapoondu Vengaya Puli Kulambhu

For the final day of Blogging Marathon #61 under the theme Indian Mithai is Madatha kaja.This sweet is popular In Andhra Pradesh.This  sweet is quiet similar to badusha,popular in Tamilnadu. After a rich creamy dessert for second day of the theme,I wanted to make it simple. This sweet has been in my to do list since long.I have seen,my friend making this sweet couple of times.But never tried on my own.For the first I tried and taste was good,but not happy with the layers.I felt the layers have come out slightly thicker.So keep an eye to roll the dough to very thin sheet to get a nice crispy kajas.Try this simple and easy to make sweet and enjoy.....                                                                                                                                                                                     Madatha Kaja/Kaja                                                                         Basic Information    Preparation time 10 minutes    Resting
