Onion Rice and Traditional French Fries!!

Recently I tried Onion Rice and traditional french fries (as it was made in my own way :) ). I really loved the combination along with simple Onion Raita. Both these dishes are effortless to make and amazing combo for lunch!! These recipes are quite familiar due to which I am giving few tips rather than a complete recipe to make the dishes more lip smacking and delicious. :)

Tips to make this recipe more tasty :

1. Onion Rice - Add Corn flour powder before the masala is mixed well with rice. Also Squeeze lemon (according to the quantity of rice) after mixing it well with the onion masala. Pepper powder & Coriander powder adds awesome taste eventually. Also add less mustard seeds and more cumin seeds (Jeeragam). If you love to have this more spicy, add more pepper powder and chili powder.

2.Traditional French Fries - This is very similar to potato curry as every one do. One difference is the way we chop the potatoes. Chop up the potatoes in the form of thin and fine sticks (U can observe it in the picture). This way of slicing the potatoes is really eye-catching. Add chili flakes - This looks delicious and good to taste. Corn flour powder, pepper powder and Corrinader powder can be added in this recipe too. People who are lovers of garlic taste, you can add Ginger garlic paste & Asafoetida . This is more yum!! :)

 A quick tip for side dish : Fryans and Onion Raita.

Mom's preparation - Adorable!!

This is one of my ever favorite Recipe - Mor Kozhambu (Typical south Indian Yogurt recipes). Yummy, Lip-Smacking, Delicious, appetizing, tasty and go on....It tasted awesome..Just loving it and love you mummyy.... :)

PS : It goes well with the most of the south Indian dishes and tastes well with plain rice too - Thogayal rice, Paruppu podi rice, Coconut podi rice is the top most priorities to enjoy the taste of it!! {Please forgive me if some one doesn't understand this :) }

Recipe of the week - Chapatti Noodles


I normally adore cooking different dishes. I have tried preparing different food varieties however I am inspired to post it on my blog now from one of my close friend Varshini.  


I came across this interesting recipe through one of my friend and I tried making it yesterday for myself and for my brother. It was really appetizing and very simple to prepare. Most importantly, the time taken in preparing this dish is too low.

This gives you a supporting hand when there are left out chapattis (Even freshly made chapattis also included when you are bored of eating normal chapattis with some side dishes) or if some sudden visitors in home/ during parties. 

Ingredients:
-           Chapattis (Left outs / freshly prepared) - 5
-          Onions – 2 medium sized
-          Tomato – 2 Small sized
-          Capsicum – 1 Small Sized
-          Green chilies – 1
-          Mustard – Required amount
-          Turmeric powder – 1 teaspoon
-          Chilli powder – 2 teaspoons
-          Corriander powder – ½ teaspoon (For taste)
-          Garam masala – 1 teaspoon
-          Salt – Required amount
-          Oil (2 teaspoons)
     Procedure:
-               -  Pile the Chapattis and cut them first into 4 Quarters. Then into long thin strips ( Scissors helps here in making fine thin strips than a Knife)

        Heat a pan with Oil and add mustard followed by delicately chopped Green Chillies, Onions, Tomatoes and Capsicum.\
-         Fry the mixture well for a minute.
-         Lower the flame and add turmeric powder, Chilli powder, Corriander powder, Garam masala and pinches of salt ( This is because chapattis already have salt, so adding less would taste better)
-         In a higher flame, fling the pan well after adding all the strips of Chapattis and mix it thoroughly (You can see the change on the weight of the strips after mixing it well, the texture changes and it can be seen)
-          Lastly place the yummy noodles in a plate and garnish it with coriander leaves/ Curry leaves.

     Best Side dish for this:

-          It will taste great with Onion Raita.
