Vazhakkai Podimas


Coming to the vazhakkai podimas,its a dry curry and a great accompaniment for spicy kuzhambhu and sambar.This podimas can be made with or without onion also turmeric powder is added in some house holds,we don't add it and keep it in white color.Use a well matured raw banana/vazhakkai for this podimas.The tender ones will turned out mushy and it won't taste good.

    Vegetable Biriyani - Pressure Cooker Method

    Coming to day 3 of Blogging Marathon#62 under the theme quick dishes I am sharing a one pot meal.This biriyani can be made in 30 minutes if the veggies are chopped and kept or even frozen veggies can also be used. As I have the habit of chopping veggies for the next day cooking this takes only 20-25 minutes of cooking.Also I use the boiling hot water to cook the rice faster.When the rice is cooking in the pressure cooker you can make either a simple raita or an egg omelette to pair up with this biriyani.                                                                                                                                  ...
