Nellikai Thayir pachadi/Gooseberry Raita/Amla Raita

 



 

Curd/Yogurt is one of the main item without which my family cannot survive.I can manage my cooking if I have curd at home.All of us take it for Idly,Dosa and for all the breakfast items..And a simple curd rice with a pickle is more than sufficient for my family to make my members happy.

 

So most of the time I make raitas for roti and make my cooking time short.In this regard the most common raita during hot climate is the gooseberry/Amla Raita.It serves as a coolant for the body and the dish also tastes very delicious.

I usually grind the coconut and the green chillies mixture and preserve them in the freezer for later use of other types of raitas..

Keerai Mor Kootu/Greenleaves in yogurt gravy

 

 

 

 

 

 

After my marriage and getting into a brahmin family Curd/Yogurt had became the most important item at my kitchen.Breakfast/dinner/lunch will not be perfectly finished without having curd in the meal.So making dishes out of yogurt had become a routine in my kitchen.I had learnt to make various dishes out of curd which taste delicious during the summer season.

 

Green leaves and curd make an exotic combination and anyone who loves curd but hates green leaves will also love this dish.It can be had as a sidedish for Vathakuzhambu or simply with steamed rice.

 

It is a less spicy and soothing dish to have in summer.

Vadai Moor Kuzhambu..My Mom's Version

Moor kuzhambu is always my favourite only when Vadai is added to it.My mother used to cook it only with paruppu vadai.But my mother in law cooks in an entirely different way.She adds simple vegies like ladies finger,suraikai etc to make the moor kuzhambu.Both of it taste entirely different.

 

The one I am posting is the one which my mom makes at home.It tastes good only with paruppu vadai.It is less spicy and at the same time it is very delicious to have..I love the taste of soaked Paruppu vadai.It goes very well with Rasam rice..
