Fried Onions–for Biryani

I love shopping for cookware but not for food that I can do at home.. For me if it can be made at home, I would not prefer to buy it.. Most of the times, I see people buying instant stuff, breads, jams, I feel so uneasy like.. One such thing is this fried onions. It is used in a lot of Biryani and gravy preparations.. So Fried onions, as the name says it is frying onions in hot oil and you get it, but yes as simple as it, you could also make it inedible.. Issues that could come are soggy onions, Onions that are charred etc.… Follow simple rules and you get it right.. I got this one from here and I have it done it few times now.. This is for F – Miscellaneous

Ellu Urundai (எள்ளு உருண்டை)

Ellu urundai (ellu is sesame and urundai means balls or round) is a sweet made with sesame seeds and jaggery. It is a quick and tasty recipe. It is one of the foods prepared for Vinayaka Chathurthi for neivedhiyam. If it is difficult to shape the balls, use the help of little rice flour. So this for E and Regional Food..

Dal Palak

Have you eaten too many times outside and felt it is getting bored??? How about eating all rich and creamy dishes all the time and suddenly you do not feel like eating anything at all.... Wondered what is the best food when we are back from a trip or are sick or eaten too many rich meals.. It is the comfort food.. For me it is simple veg with lentil... I can be happy to relish this very simple and everyday food that can never get boring or heavy on you... And more importantly you have this feeling of accomplishment of giving healthy and nutritious meal to your own body and to your family... I try to spinach a few times in a month although I want to eat 2 times a week... This one is little more simpler than the one I normally do.. I got this recipe from here and it is very comforting, homey and out of the world tasty... So this is for D and regional food..And I am also sending this for Vegan Thursdays

Cornmeal Kozhukattai

A, B and now is C for which I chose to do this very interesting and very flavorful kozhukkattai.. Generally kozhukattai is made with rice flour and for a change I tried this different variety from here and it was so yummy!!! Loved this color and taste was perfect. I made the balls little smaller than the marble size. This one can be done very quickly except for the "making the balls" part. This one can be served warm or on room temperature..  This makes perfect for travel or lunchbox.. This is C for International / Fusion Cooking...

Betel Oats Manchurian

Dishes with an interesting name are sure to catch your eye and you want to read about it. Same happened with me when I saw this dish here and it was not just interesting, but also tempting and very eye appealing too. Loved the thought of combining the very Indian Betel to the very Western Oats in a Chinese dish which is a Manchurian... So I can call this Indo-Western-Chinese. So what comes after A??? B .. SO this is my second dish for the month long A-Z marathon. This will be for B - International / Fusion group..

Arisi Adai–Puzhungal Arisi Adai

Arisi Adai is a dish that is traditional to South India and is very healthy. It tastes best when served hot. Coconut chutney and tomato urugai are a great side dish for this one. This dish is made mainly with the parboiled rice which makes it very healthy and very filling!!! We are starting a month long marathon with A-Z as the challenge with 4 themes. This will be A for Regional Food
