PUDHINA THOGAYAL | MINT THUVAYAL

Thogayal is a staple in our home and Pudhina thogayal is my all time favourite. Pudhina thogayal can be served with hot rice or as an accompaniment for idli/dosa.

THENGAI BUN | COCONUT BUN

Almost every Indian will have some childhood  memories associated with Coconut buns. Right from Bakeries in the cities to the Laalaa Kadai (Mobile shop in a tricycle) in villages, coconut bun used to occupy a special place. I wanted to try these buns for a long time and came across this eggless recipe from Mahi's kitchen.The recipe is quite simple. I have a love and hate relationship with baking with yeast. But luckily so far all my attempt with  Thengai buns has been good.

CORIANDER RICE | KOTHAMALLI SADHAM

My son loves anything that has coriander in it and he loves coriander rice. Usually I mix kothamalli thokku or thogayal with rice for an instant version of kothamalli rice. I came across this flavorful recipe here and I have been making coriander rice only this way since then.The author (Nags) has mentioned that the original recipe called for mixed vegetables. However I think the recipe goes well only with green peas as tried by her.The ingredients might sound simple but the flavor and taste of the rice was great.
