Chicken Uppu Varuval/Kozhi Uppu Varuval


Uppu Varuval is a Chettinadu delicacy that can be made with either chicken or mutton.A simple dry preparation uses only dried red chillies and some basic spices.

Shallots and the red chillies enhances the taste and flavor of the recipe.Shallots tastes best for this preparation but regular onion also makes wonder.

This spicy curry couples up great with simple rasam or curd rice but with pulao too.This fry takes only 30 minutes to cook and tastes better when it is served hot.Also the red chilly in the fry goes very well with curd rice.

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