Tomato Mint Chutney/Thakkali Pudina Chutney




As my family likes the mint flavor,I try to make different varieties of chutney out of mint.One such try was this mint chutney and it pairs very well with idly and dosa.Also its a great spread for bread to make sandwiches.

This is a simple,easy to make chutney and need only 20 minutes for the entire process.Addition of urad dhal and channa dhal gives a nice creamy texture to the chutney.

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