Thattaipayaru Suraikaai Kuzhambu / Red chori and Dudhi Gravy

This thattai payaru and Suraikaai kuzhambu is a delish from my grandma's..This is my mom's favorite from my grandma's samayal.We usually prepare any of the payaru variety kuzhambu on Thursdays like black sundal kuzhambu, avarai/mochai kuzhambu,this gravy,pachai pattani kuzhambu,rajma masala,Thuvarai kuzhambu or butter beans masala(when they are available fresh in the season)...Will post these gravies soon one by one..This combo tastes so awesome..You can prepare the same without suraikaai too..But this combo is a hit in our households..While using suraikaai, don't add much water as the veggie itself oozes out a lot of water..Do give a try and you will enjoy for sure..

Saamai Sambar Sadham / Little millet Sambar Sadham

Sambar sadham, I usually prepare when I prepare lunch for just me and my boy...It will be easy for me to prepare and at same time healthy for him to eat too...Little millet cooks even faster than our normal rice...It tastes so good as sambar sadham...We can have it to our heart's content, since it's easily digestible than rice..So perfect for small kids too..I'm preparing this recipe under guilt free indulgence for Blogging Marathon #53 hosted by srivalli...

Butter Chicken

Butter Chicken is my favorite in restaurant menus..wanted to make that in home too..and achieved the smooth creamy texture as we get in restaurants..adding cream does the magic I think..If you are health conscious you can omit that,but I can't assure about the texture..Once in a while it's ok I think..We had it with naan..tastes soo delicious...Goes well with chapathi, pulavs too...Do try and enjoy this creamy goodness...

Oats,Kodo Millet and Mango Crinkle Cookies / Varagu Mambazha Cookies

 I have baked cookies before, but this is my first venture in baking with fruits...and with my favorite fruit mango, I tried these crinkle cookies...I have already posted saamai biscuits...This time I combined varagu(kodo millet) with oats to make it little more healthier...Also I used a ripe sweet mango..So added only 2 to 3 tblsp of sugar only...Can omit sugar too and diabetic people can enjoy that way...The flavor is so good and all of us liked it a lot...especially my little one..I.m posting this as my second recipe under guilt free indulgence for BM#53...also sending this to Srivalli's Kids delight event-fruits in any form hosted by Harini...

Baked Aloo Bonda / Baked Urulaikilangu Bonda / Baked Batata vada

Evening snacks are so good, especially when they are made with potato...With hot masala tea,crispy aloo bondas, who can say no to that...I had some leftover poori masala and I prepared/baked this aloo bonda..To our surprise it was so crispy and good...and also with very little oil compared to frying..Using a sprayer to spray oil evenly on bondas really help a lot...I baked this in my little toaster oven,but surely can prepare in big oven too...Since I used leftover masala, I didn't wanted to use the big oven...Do try this way, and you need not have guilt about eating snacks...And I'm preparing this for BM#53, week 4 under guilt free indulgence...
