Bittergourd Chips (Adyar Ananda Bhavan Style)



My elder daughter Saindhavi loves Adayar AnandaBhavan for the variety of chips they offer!!We used to visit it very often when we were at Salem.But after shifting to Tuticorin we miss it very much.Hope a branch gets open at Tirunelveli/Tuty...
 
I had already posted Bittergourd fritters recipe which has a slight variation in the ingredients list
 
When I was browsing Pavithra's foodblog I came across this bittergourd chips made in Adyar anandabhavan style.I was much delighted to see the recipe and with no wait I made it this weekend and gave a huge surprise to my daughter.I am so happy that she loved them ...

Vegetable Samosa (South Indian Style)





It was a blue moon day yesterday(August 31st)...Yes technically it means the second full moon day in a month..It occurs once in 12 years and is a rare occasion..You may be wondering what this is to do here with the cookery blog.....Yes I do make fried items once in a blue moon...and the vegetable samosa was fried on a blue moon day......

Coming to the cookery part.....

Surprisingly it was drizzling at Tuticorin(They say at tuty it never rain because the salt pan owners make a special offering to varuna bhagawan asking him not to visit ..So rain never comes at tuty..though it rains everywhere around)..

Getting excited by the drizzles, thought of making some hot samosas which is favourite for all of us at home..On the healthier part I had replaced dalda with ghee.

With the hot hot samosas we came to the balcony to enjoy the drizzle with a sip(of hot filter Kappi) and a dip..unfortunately the drizzle had stopped(varuna Bhagawan would have heard the salt pan owners prayers) and we could only enjoy the pleasant weather....

While presenting the samosas on the plate I thought of including the antique(100 years old) soppu saman (minature of the utensils used by the kids to play) made of Brass..This is a part of 150+ items which were there along with it..My friend could only find 4 pieces of it..They weighed very heavy...and symbolically they depict the richness which which we indians lived earlier...The craftmanship of the utensils were so good that we could not find any fault with any aspect...

Enoughof bugging u all with long long stories..
