Today is the final day in Journey through Tamil Cuisine in A-Z series in mega BM and the letter is Z.Usually I end up the mega marathon with a sweet note,as Z is one of the toughest letter to find a Tamil recipe I made a simple kootu with Zucchini.Since zucchini belongs to the squash family,I made the kootu the way we make soraikkai/squash. As zucchini cooks very fast,it takes few minutes to cook.Here I used the cooked channa dhal,but any type of dhal can be used. Kootu can be mixed along with rice as well as can be an accompaniment for a spicy and tangy kuzhambu varieties.I paired up with the  ennai kathirikkai kuzhambu ,lets move on to the recipe...........                                                                                   ...

For letter Y under the theme journey through Tamil cuisine,in Blogging Marathon,sharing you a finger licking kulambhu/kuzhambu.

We are almost in the end of the A-Z series in journey through Cuisine in mega marathon and today is letter X.As there is no ingredient or dish starts with X,need to use English word.So decided to make this (e)xtra spicy and extremely easy to make garlic chutney. This chutney is often made when there is no accompaniment for the left over idlys.This chutney tastes so good with chutney and end up in eating (e)xtra few idlys.Usually this chutney is ground in a stone mortar(grinder) and it will be in a thick consistency.But with the mixie it is bit hard to get a thicker consistency. As this is a spicy chutney it needs to be topped up with generous amount of sesame oil.Here I used little amount of tomato.But addition of tomato is purely optional.My mom used to add tomato,as it subtle the spiciness.Off to the recipe.....                                         ...
