Kathirikkai Rasavangi / Brinjal Rasavangi


Rasavangi is typical lentil based,Tamil Brahmin dish made with brinjal(kathirikkai) and White pumpkin(poosanikai).

Rasavangi is a cousin of arachivitta sambhar with freshly ground spices and the consistency is on the thicker side.This is a no onion-garlic dish and its very simple and easy to make authentic dish.

For the letter K,I chose to make Karadaiyan nombu adai/kozukattaai or kalan(mushroom) masala,a popular road side food of Coimbiatore. But after seeing some tender eggplants/brinjal changed my mind to make something out of it.

As brinjal is one of my favorite veggie,I posted most of the South Indian recipes.When I was thinking of something with brinjal this dish came to my mind.But I had a doubt whether its a Tamilnadu dish.My blogger buddy Priya Srinivasan confirmed its an authentic Tamilnadu dish and shared her hand written family recipe of this dish.Thank you so much Priya.

We had this one for our lunch along with some cabbage poriyal and pappad.It was a comforting meal,try this simple rasavangi and enjoy..

    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............                                                                                          ...

    Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

    For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
